A message from the Worshipful Master

Manasseh Family, I hope everyone is enjoying the final days of Winter, as we move into the longer and warmer days of Spring! A special blessing to our Brothers and Sisters who observe the Holy Month of Ramadan, which began last night.

    Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us for our February Stated Communication and Official Visit of the District Deputy Grand Master. It was a great evening and well attended, and we were treated with a surprise program by our dear friend, Right Worshipful Brother Robert Johnson! A special welcome to our newest Entered Apprentice, who was Initiated on February 24, 2025.

   This month brings us back to another busy season, as we will be holding an Entered Apprentice Degree later in the month, and the Official Visit of the Grand Master to the 4^th Masonic District, which will be held at Kena Shriners on Friday, March 7, 2025. We also have another installment of the Masonic Book Club, and a multitude of events from our Appendant Bodies!

   Our March Stated Communication has been moved to Friday, March 14, 2025, and will consist of the usual business followed by a special program by our Tiler Emeritus, Worshipful Brother Jason Richards. This month’s dining will be provided by our Brothers and Sisters from Wimodausis Chapter No. 106, Order of the Eastern Star.

  May the Great Architect of the Universe continue to keep you, hold you in His embrace, provide you with Infinite Blessings, and bestow unto you the gifts of Brotherly Love and genuine affection.

γενηθητω φως - “Let There Be Light”

Yours in Brotherhood,

Joe Martinez
Worshipful Master
