Trestle Board F. & A. M. of the State of California
From the East Worshipful Charles Dimaano, PM
Greetings Brethren,
I can’t believe that we are now in April or how the past 3 months have come
and gone. I guess the old cliché is true, “time flies when you’re having fun.” Even
though we did not do any degrees during the month of March, we still had other
things going on.
I want to congratulate our newly obligated Brothers, Ed Bolos and Ken
Wise. They both took the solemn obligation as Entered Apprentice Masons on
February 27, 2019. Both of them will be giving their proficiencies at our stated
meeting on April 4, 2019. I have met with both of them and they are ready. They
both will be scheduled for their Second Degree on April 11, 2019. So, if you can,
come to the Lodge and show your support for our brothers as they take their journey
into Masonry.
During our stated meeting in March, we had the pleasure of formally
welcoming our District Inspector, Worshipful David Coss. I heard nothing but
positive compliments from Worshipful Coss during his visit and that is a testament of
the hard work that our officers are putting into the craft. A special THANK YOU
goes out to our officers’ coach, Worshipful Herme Valdeabella, our Marshall Brother
Andrew Block, our Senior and Junior Deacons, Brothers TJ Miranda and Brother
Lou Bartolome. They did an outstanding job performing the ritual work on
welcoming our inspector. Some our officers were also involved in the Raising of a
brother at Hanford Lodge on March 20, 2019 during our school of instruction. There
were 5 lodges represented during this event. Once again, nothing but positive
comments were given to all the officers involved with the degree. This event was a
true testimony of our moto for the year T.E.A.M.
In closing, keep a close eye on our calendar of events. There are several
events planned for the upcoming months. You can view this on our Lodge App or
our Website.
Fraternally,
Charles Dimaano, PM

A Note to the Family
If you are receiving the Trestle Board and wish to continue to receive it, we are happy to
continue mailing it. We also know that some of the families of our departed Brothers no
longer wish to receive it. If that is the case, please notify Jack Cloud at
[email protected] and we will be happy to update our mailer. We would also just
enjoy hearing how the family is doing if you want to let us know. Thank you.

Masonic Education…
“Ritual memorization makes you is a parrot and a parrot doesn’t think it just mimics. Knowledge comes from the art of contemplation that allows us then to internalize that which our senses have encountered.”
– Bro. Tim McCurry
…thru Masonic Art Education
This re-creation of a
commonly known Masonic
painting was recently painted
by our own Bro. Edward
Block.
We felt it important to share
this with our Brothers. One,
for Brother Eds passion of the
Craft. Two, because we
should all strive to learn our
Craft, it’s symbolism, and
adapt those meanings to
improve our own lives.
In this rendition, Brother Ed
made sure to understand
what each item was and tried
to understand its symbolic
meaning before putting it to
canvas.
Brother Block, this is an
awesome job, and we
commend you on your desire
to grow in Masonry. Be
careful, Welcome Lodge has a
whole lot of canvas ready for
your brush! Thank you for
sharing.

“The Regius Manuscript was written in about AD 1390. It is the oldest and arguably the most important
Masonic document in existence. It is unusual because it is written as a poem, whereas Masonic documents that
followed it are in prose. It was also written at a time when Roman Catholicism prevailed in England, and it contains
a section on proper behavior in church. It includes much of the legendary “history” of Freemasonry and was most
likely interpreted in poetic form by a monk who was inspired by even earlier Masonic writings that no longer exist.
It is one of 99 documents of varying ages referred to as the Gothic Constitutions, which make up the earliest rules
for the stonemason guilds that eventually became the modern fraternity of Freemasonry. Over time, the Gothic
Constitutions became less influenced by Trinitarian Christianity, and less secular, but this early document is quite
religious in tone.”
“The original document is written in Old English language that is difficult to understand.” James Halliwell
translated it in 1840, so it is sometimes referred to as the Halliwell Manuscript for this reason. “It is preserved in
the British Museum in London and was donated to the museum in 1757 by King George II (which is why it is called
regius, Latin for “king”).”
