MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Brother J. Nolan McMahon
Brother McMahon has been living in Colorado since 2011. He loves to live an active Colorado lifestyle and do all the hobbies associated with it such as rock climbing, hiking, hunting, and snowboarding. While he didn’t know much about Freemasonry when he knocked at the door of the Lodge, he is loving learning all of the Masonic knowledge and history. He can’t wait to seek additional light in Masonry and continue his journey!

MASTER'S MESSAGE

Brethren,

As we continue our journey through this Masonic year, I am reminded of our theme—Higher Thoughts, Nobler Deeds, and Greater Achievements. Last month, several of us came together for a road cleanup through the Adopt a Highway program. We rolled up our sleeves, got our hands dirty, and made a tangible impact on our community. This act, simple as it may seem, was a reflection of what we stand for—improving the world around us, one deed at a time.

This month, I am excited to announce another initiative that focuses on the same principle of Nobler Deeds, but in a different form. I am launching a fundraiser that will support the Food Bank of the Rockies. This effort is another opportunity to extend our reach beyond the lodge, impacting those in need and strengthening the bonds of brotherhood through service and charity. I’ll share more details at our first stated meeting in October, and I encourage each of you to get involved in whatever way you can!

As if that weren’t enough to look forward to, we are also preparing for the initiation of three new brothers at our 1st Stated Communication, a testament to the growth and future of our lodge. In addition, we will have the honor of WB Lee Miller presenting on
Brother Marquis de Lafayette at our 2nd State Communication, a chance to deepen our understanding of one of Masonry’s distinguished figures.

Together, let us continue to elevate our thoughts, perform noble deeds, and strive for greater achievements in all we do!

Fraternally,
Josh Levin - Worshipful Master
Weston Lodge No. 22

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Bruce Beardsley
Brother Bruce and his wife Amanda have been here in Colorado for a little over two years now, after moving from Las Vegas. Bruce is the Hospital Manager for VCA Animal Hospital in Highlands Ranch. Born and raised in Virginia, right outside Washington DC, Bruce has since traveled the world either as a commercial deep-sea diver or as Remote Physician Extender. Bruce is a huge history buff, and self-proclaimed Super-Nerd. He was drawn to Freemasonry after discovering that his paternal Grandfather had been made a Master Mason at Concordia #13, in Maryland (1961) and then a 32-degree Scottish Rite Mason after that. He hopes to make all my brothers at Weston #22 proud and do as much as I can to further and honor the Fraternity.

MASTER'S MESSAGE

Brethren,

I am thrilled to announce that we will be reconvening at Lodge on September 4th. I’ll keep this message brief, as I want to strongly encourage you to take just 3 minutes to read the accompanying letter detailing the plans and goals for the remainder of this Masonic Year.

I hope you’ve all enjoyed a wonderful summer. Now, it’s time for us to return to our Masonic labors—creating new Masons, strengthening the bonds between us, enhancing our community service, and ensuring that we continue to enjoy our journey together.

Fraternally,
Josh Levin

The menu is scheduled to be chicken and andouille gumbo with rice. Reach out well in advance if you have dietary requirements and we will do what we can to accommodate.

Masons of any degree are welcome. The event and dinner are presented at no cost (donations are welcome). There will be Cannons for sale for those who want a nice souvenir.

As much as we hope no one drinks to intemperance, you are invited to bring a sleeping bag or find a room nearby in Central City/Black Hawk.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Zachery Booker
Brother Zachery is a Technical Sergeant serving full time in the United States Space Force serving as the Section Chief, Mission Support at Aerospace Data Facility. He came to Masonry out of curiosity, a desire to learn, self-improvement, and camaraderie and has very much enjoyed his time with our Lodge so far. He is a self-described ‘rock hound’ and loves searching for agates, minerals, and other treasures. He has also been a professional video game player (Call of Duty & Halo) and competed while representing the Space Force for 2.5 years. We are excited to have Brother Zachery as part of Weston 22!

MASTER'S MESSAGE

Brethren,

As we enter our second ‘dark’ month of the year, I want to talk about being the ‘light’ by addressing a topic that is particularly relevant in today's climate: the nature of divisive conversations in politics and our role as Masons. As you all know, we keep religion and partisan politics out of the lodge. This tradition upholds our unity and ensures that our diverse membership can work together harmoniously.

However, this does not lessen the importance of each of us being engaged and informed citizens. Freemasonry teaches us the values of truth, morality, and brotherly love. These principles guide us not only within the walls of the lodge but also in our daily interactions with the world around us.

In these times of heightened political tension and division, we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to be beacons of civility to the world around us. Our Masonic teachings equip us with the tools to engage in thoughtful and respectful discourse with those who hold differing views. By demonstrating patience, understanding, and a commitment to civil dialogue, we can set an example for others. Thoughtful discussion with people that have differing views on the world around us is incredibly valuable and I highly encourage it.

Let us remember that our actions speak volumes. Whether we are discussing current events, participating in community activities, or simply engaging in casual conversations, we have the power to influence those around us positively. Let us strive to embody the virtues of a Mason in all aspects of our lives.

I can’t wait to be back in lodge with you all shortly!

Fraternally,
Josh Levin
Worshipful Master

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Brother Adrian Perez is originally from Los Angeles California. His career brought him to Colorado and he is currently a Police Officer with the Aurora Police Department. It was “good luck”, according to Adrian, that he found his way to Masonry. He has enjoyed getting to know all the Brothers and is looking forward to building his legacy for his children!

MASTER'S MESSAGE

Brethren of Weston Lodge,

As we go dark for the months of July and August, I want to take a moment to commend each and every one of you for a fantastic first half of the year. Your dedication and commitment have truly made our lodge flourish.

I would like to extend special recognition to all the officers for their hard work and contributions. A particular note of thanks goes to our Senior Warden, Brother Tom Hearn, for stepping up admirably and conducting an excellent Fellow Craft Degree during our last meeting in June. His leadership and dedication are exemplary and truly appreciated.

July and August are vital times for us to rest and recharge. I encourage all brethren to enjoy this period by spending quality time with friends and family, engaging in outdoor activities, and taking care of yourselves. Let us use this time to rejuvenate, so that we can return to the lodge in September refreshed and ready to finish the year strong!

Enjoy your summer, stay safe, and I look forward to seeing you all in September.

Fraternally your Worshipful Master
Josh Levin

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Brother Steven Benedict was born and raised in the Denver area. He joined Masonry because his father and uncle were/are Masons. While he didn’t initially plan on following in their footsteps, when his friends Austin Harris and Ryan joined Weston Lodge, that all changed. He came to poker, met other Masons, and knew it was the right place for him. His experience has been great, and he loves all the new brothers he has met since joining. He’s proud to be a Mason and touched that the brothers will always be there for him!

MASTER'S MESSAGE

Greetings Brethren,

As we prepare for our upcoming stated meeting, I extend my warmest congratulations once again to our newly initiated Entered Apprentices and my appreciation to the officers of Nevada Lodge No. 4 for sharing their work with us. I look forward to witnessing your continued journey in Freemasonry!

At our 1st Stated Communication, we will hear several EA proficiencies and then have our Masonic Discussion. For that debate, please consider this question: Is it the ritual or the fraternal aspects of Masonry that hold greater importance for you? I encourage all brethren to come prepared to share their perspectives, insights, and experiences on this matter!

June holds special significance for our Senior Warden, as he takes on multiple responsibilities within our lodge. Not only will he be showcasing his culinary skills by preparing dinner for us at the second stated meeting, but he will also be leading the officer meeting, guiding our practice session, and sitting in the East during the 2nd Stated Communication in June. That will be a great meeting as he will be orchestrating a memorable Fellowcraft degree ceremony that evening. Brethren, let us extend our full support and gratitude to our Senior Warden as he takes on these crucial roles with dedication and enthusiasm.

I invite our Senior Warden to share a brief message with us:
Tom: I want to congratulate and welcome our newest entered apprentices: Bruce Beardsley and Zach Booker. Looking forward to having them in lodge and being a part of their progression.
I am honored to be able to sit in the East for the 2nd communication of the month. Hope everyone is doing well and I am excited to see everyone in lodge. Please have a great summer and stay safe while we are dark.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Brother Daxx Vedrin is a newly raised Master Mason, as of April 27th. He’s grateful to have completed this part of the journey and he’s excited for what’s to come. Daxx is the owner of a sports medicine and acupuncture clinic, named Point Zero, located right next to the Ball Arena in Denver. Before building his clinic here over the last 7 years, he was raised in Ohio and Florida, but spent all of his 20’s in Honolulu, Hawaii. There, he developed his knowledge and experience in medicine while adventuring and surfing his way around the island. He now spends his time practicing jujitsu, golfing, fly fishing, hunting, and hiking. He’s been with his lovely wife, Lindsay, for 19 years, and is a father to 2.5 year old daughter, Avi.

MASTER'S MESSAGE

Brothers,

Welcome to May! I want to start off by offering my congratulations to Brother Daxx Vedrin for being raised to the degree of a Master Mason and offer my many thanks to the Officers and Brothers who participated in the degree and attended to show their support. The Chili cook-off was a great success and a lot of fun!

As we near the summer, I am amazed by how quickly this Masonic year is flying by! Many of you have expressed interest in putting on and/or participating in various events, dinners, outings, etc., and it warms my heart. With that said, I must encourage you all to take the next step. It takes a lot of planning, perseverance, and tenacity to make one of these events happen and no one is going to do it for you. Get something on the calendar, send out invitations, create a planning committee, and just start! I promise, if you do, you will have the full support of your brothers. This is your Lodge; make it what you want it to be!

Lastly, in preparation for our Masonic Discussion, I want to describe an organization to you. This organization has shared beliefs in understanding existence, the divine, and life’s purpose. It has rituals for marking important events and it believes in sacred texts. This organization has guiding principles for morality, is engaged in helping the community, and emphasizes the importance fellowship. The organization has leaders, it uses symbols to convey deeper messaging, and believes in the afterlife. This organization meets in a sacred space and has formal teachings that define its core beliefs. I am of course describing Freemasonry. However, I am also describing most major religions in the world. So, for our Masonic Discussion in May, we will be debating the answer to this question: Is Freemasonry a religion?

Fraternally, Josh Levin, Worshipful Master

MASTER'S MESSAGE

Dear Brothers of Weston Lodge,

As we reflect on our journey thus far, I'm filled with gratitude and pride for the remarkable first quarter we've shared together as a Lodge. Already this year, we have conducted ritual on the Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason Degrees and I thank all of you who have attended and participated in these events! Our joint Table Lodge with Nevada No. 4 was a resounding success, and we eagerly anticipate another gathering in the Fall to deepen our fraternal connections – stay tuned for details!

Continuing our successful Masonic Discussions at the 1st stated communications, this month we will be debating the merits and value of leveraging a Chamber of Reflection as part of the ritual work in a Lodge. If you are unfamiliar with the concept, this article and this Podcast explain it nicely and are well worth a read/listen! Please come ready to discuss your opinion to the question: Should a Chamber of Reflection be part of the initiatic experience in Freemasonry?

I am looking forward to a great second quarter filled with ritual work, debating and sharing ideas, education, and brotherly love. I hope each of you are having even a fraction as much fun as I am having from the East! I appreciate your continued support and here’s to Higher Thoughts, Nobler Deeds, and Greater Achievements!

Fraternally, Josh Levin, Worshipful Master
Weston Lodge No. 22
