To all Officers, Members, and Family and Friends of Manasseh Lodge No. 182, it is with great pleasure for me, as your newly installed Worshipful Master, to wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year to you and to all your extended families!

We had a very busy December, but I want to say how thankful I am for your assistance and attendance we had for all of our events, which were: Installation of Officers, raising a new member to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason, our Christmas Celebration Extravaganza, and our St. John the Evangelist Table Lodge. All occasions were a rousing success, and I just know that this is a good indication for how our Masonic year will go for 2026.

Our first official Stated Communication for the New Year will be held on January 2nd, 2026. I just know we’re going to have some good food, good company, good fellowship and a great speaker for the evening. Stay tuned for the Punchbowl that will be going out soon.

The dinner that will be provided is Chicharron de Pollo, bite size chicken marinated and fried in a garlic-soy glaze, served with house fried rice (with egg, carrots, peas, and ham) and stir-fried noodles in soy sauce and scallions. There will also be a vegetable salad with green beans, carrots, red onion, herbs, and a light soy sauce dressing. Dessert will be a custard known as Flan, made with eggs, milk, and vanilla with caramel sauce.

The speaker we have for January’s Stated Communication will be from Worshipful Jason Michael Richards, who will be delivering a program entitled “Diluvian Origins: The Influence of the Noahide Flood on the Masonic Third Degree.”

May the Great Architect of the Universe continue to keep you, hold you in His embrace, surround you with Providence, and bestow unto you the blessings of Brotherly Love and genuine affection. And always remember that all of you and your families are always welcome here at Manasseh Lodge 182.

Yours in Brotherhood,
Francis Charles Schwartz
Worshipful Master
