FROM THE EAST
Let me all greet you a nice day and a wish of good health to each and everyone of you. Spring isupon us in full swing and of course we are enjoying this lovely climate; a welcome change to what had been a wet andwintry weather this past two months.
The month of April has been a busy one for the Lodge. We had two degree conferrals, preparatonand presentaton to the District Inspector's Administratve inspectons of the Hall Associaton and the Lodge as well.My sincere appreciaton to the wonderful work of our Secretary WB Barry Hughes, our Treasurer Bro. Mario Cruz. OurSMTA staf Bro. Dennis Timmons, President and WB Keith Watles, CFO. As an Actng Building Manager before I forgot,we never experienced to have a busy weekends in regards to our renters. Brethren, you are just a such wonderfulBrothers, making the Master looks good.
On April 12, 2018 as you may all knew, we initated Bro. Lee Horton, as an Entered ApprentceMasons. I would also like for you to join me in welcoming Bro. Horton for being obligated into the frst degree ofMasonry. This is the frst step of your masonic journey.
Also on April 26, 2018 we raised Bro. Mathew Vallarino, to the sublime Degree of Master Mason.Again, my congratulatons goes to you as well my Brother. I considered this degree a memorable one, for a simplereason that, this is the Past Masters night in our Lodge. The partcipants of the degree team consistng of Past Mastersfrom our lodge and a few brethren from our District. Again as I said, our Past Masters did there best and keep thelevel of highest standard of our Lodge. Worshipful Sirs, I thank you once again for your support. We have a lot ofthings to learn in our Masonic Journey, not only in our lodge but it comes to our real daily lives as well. I personallyexperienced being a Mason, people around us constantly expect to achieve the highest standard and dedicateourselves to the ideals of our ancient craf.
Lastly, I am honored and privileged to be a part of this world's frst and largest fraternal organizatonthat promotes personal growth, self improvement, devoton to family, faith and country. Our dedicaton to aid andassist one another and our families while giving back to our communites through educaton and leadership are onlyfew hallmark of our insttuton.

Congratulations to Matthew Vallerino for beingraised to the sublimed degree of Master Mason.You are the last one of the group from last yearand very happy to see that we are now up to parwith the schedule degrees. My hat of to the PastMasters who performed the degree. I’m stillamazed how they remembered theirs lines afterall those years. This month, we are going toconfer Florian Linsao to be a Fellowcraft. Hope tosee our brethren to show support for thisimportant event. When we initiated Lee Horton, itwas one of the best sights to see, both sides ofthe Lodge flled with brethren welcoming a newbrother. It should be the standard that we shouldshoot for.
To the brethren who participated with therenovation of the sun deck, many thanks.
