MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Miguel Garcia was initiated as an EA in November of 2023. Bro. Miguel was born in TX, but raised in Santa Barbara County, CA. He is a Principal Engineer with Spectrum Communications working in IT, he is married, has 5 children, and 2 grandchildren. So far, his favorite part of Masonry is the challenge it offers as he progresses through the degrees and the comradery!

MASTER'S MESSAGE

Brothers;

I hope this message finds you well, embraced by the spirit of brotherly love that defines our fraternity.

I want to remind you of our upcoming Widows and Past Master Luncheon on February 3rd at 12pm. It's a cherished tradition where we honor the widows of our departed brethren and express gratitude to our esteemed Past Masters. Please RSVP and sign up to help using the links provided. Your participation and support are appreciated.

Congratulations to our three new Entered Apprentices initiated at our last meeting. Their journey into Freemasonry marks the beginning of a profound experience. I extend heartfelt congratulations to each of them and sincere appreciation to all officers for their dedication in delivering a memorable degree.

Regarding our Masonic Discussion, I'd like to explore a hypothetical scenario with you. As a Lodge, one of our key responsibilities is to make new Masons. In today's digital age, advertising our presence on social media platforms like Facebook could potentially reach a wider audience of men who share interests in self-improvement and community service. However, the question arises: Do you believe such an initiative would help or harm a Lodge? I invite you to share your thoughts and perspectives on this matter.

As we approach our first stated meeting in February, I encourage each of you to attend and participate in our Masonic Discussion. It's an opportunity for us to engage in meaningful dialogue, share insights, and strengthen our bonds of brotherhood. Let us come together with open hearts and minds, embodying the principles of Freemasonry in our discussions and interactions.

Fraternally,
Josh Levin - Your Worshipful Master
