A message from the Worshipful Master

     Manasseh Family, I pray you all are enjoying the warmer days of Spring, as we move into longer days, the call of Summer, and blooms and blooms of pollen on our cars each and every morning!
      Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us for our April Stated Communication!  It was a great evening and well attended, and we enjoyed the wonderful program by Worshipful Brother Kevin Homan.  April also marked two more Entered Apprentices joining our ranks, and our scheduled will be busy with degrees in the coming weeks!  Thank you to all who came out for our special events, most especially the Joint Kena and Manasseh Bunny Bash and Easter Egg Hunt!
     This month will be our busiest yet, as we will be hosting the Manasseh Lodge 150th Anniversary Festive Board and Celebration on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at Kena Shrine.  RSVPs end the evening of May 4th, and only a few seats remain.
     Our May Stated Communication has been moved by Dispensation and will be held on Friday, May 16, 2025, and will consist of the usual business followed by a special program by our 150th Event Keynote, Illustrious Brother Steven Harrison from the Grand Lodge of Missouri, who will give us a sneak peek on his work in the true fate of William Morgan.
   May the Great Architect of the Universe watch over you, surround you with His eternal care, shower you with boundless blessings, and grant you the virtues of Brotherly Love and heartfelt fellowship.

Yours in Brotherhood,

Joe Martinez
