February 2013 Trestleboard

2/1/2013

 

From the East

    Brethren, our 2013 Crab Feed was a great success A huge thank you to Worshipful Don Bagley, P.M. for heading the Crab Feed up and thanks to all of you who bought tickets and contributed auction gifts for the event. Your participation is greatly appreciated. Thanks also to Wor. Willie Seirer, our auctioneer extraordinaire!
   
    Congratulations to Brother Matthew Silva on being raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. I would also like to welcome our newest Entered Apprentice Brother Cyrus Bliss. Welcome to the Craft Brother! Congratulations also to Brothers William Brill and Mark Allen on completing their Fellow Craft proficiency. We will raise Brother Brill to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason February 25th and Brother Allen in March. Justin Rosa will receive his Fellow Craft Degree on February 11th. Please plan to join us for these Degrees!

    More coming events for February include our Stated Meeting and Dinner on February 13th. Dinner starts at 6:30. See “What’s for Dinner” in the Junior Warden’s message. Stated Meeting starts promptly at 8 p.m. Our Junior Warden, Brother Paul Cary is working on a program for us for the evening.

    Our Sweetheart Dinner is on February 16th. The widows of Harding San Juan Lodge (Harding San Juan Belles) will be our special guests. Junior Warden Paul Cary has a list of those Belles who wish to attend and need transportation. Please call Paul if you can escort one of our special Belles.

What's for Dinner?

The Stated Meeting Dinner Menu: Beef Stew, Salad, Bread, and a Delicious Dessert!

Hall Board

    The newly elected and continuing Hall Board Directors met on January 2, 2013. An Election of Officers for the year 2013 resulted in Director Don Bagley being elected as President, Dave Hahn, Vice President, Bob Jackson as Treasurer and Jim Poindexter as Secretary. After an Invocation and Salute to Our Flag, our Newly Elected President opened the Meeting for business at 7:30 p.m. The Board was made aware that the Church Rental had terminated on December 31, 2012 and the Rental/Lease Manager was actively seeking a new renter.

    To get the new year started, President Bagley made the following appointments, Bob Jackson as Rental/Lease Manager, Jim Poindexter as Building Maintenance Manager and Gary Roberts to Chair the Capital Improvement Committee. President Bagley further directed Director Roberts to appoint two Committeemen and report back at the March Business Meeting with their recommendations. The President presented a Budget for the 2013 year. Estimated Operating Expense came to $30,000. In order to meet estimated expenses we need to generate an additional rental income this year of about $12,000. Utilities continue to be a major cost item and tenants are urged to use heating and air conditioning judiciously. Any help in finding a new tenant to fill the Sunday calendar would be greatly appreciated. Please make referrals to Bob Jackson.

Fraternally, Don Bagley, P.M., President

From the West

    Brethren, Greetings from the West. I hope everyone had a great time at the Crab Feed. I know I did. It was good to see all who came to our event.

    Please remember to bring your canned food donations to any of our meetings. Now that Christmas is over, people don't give as much, so please remember those in our community who are in need. I will update you throughout the year for any and all donation needs. See you at the Lodge.

Fraternally, Tom Angello, Senior Warden

From the South
