Masons - Baseball - Kids - The Perfect Combination

Do you remember your first baseball glove?

Once again, Northern California lodges are teaming up with the Giants Community Fund to provide baseball mitts for more than 20,000 at-risk youth in the Junior Giants program. With 45% of Junior Giants participants not owning a baseball glove, California Masons can make a difference!

Teams of lodges in six areas are competing to give the
most mitts. Support your team at Masons4Mitts.org!

Hall Board

Greetings from the Hall Board. We have not made any progress on Capital Improvement Projects so far this year. However, we do have three painting bids to consider at our next meeting in July. Of course this is a maintenance project and is important in keeping the building in good repair. This brings to mind that there has been considerable damage in the building that has gone unreported. We know things will happen and no one will be required to pay for damage, but it sure helps to stay on top of needed repair when the damage is reported when it happens. The latest damage that requires quit a bit of work to replace is the damage that was done to the control panel on the vent over the stove in the kitchen. To find out how the damage occurred sometimes helps to prevent it from happening again. Your help in this matter is badly needed.

The members of the Hall Board want to wish everyone a Happy and safe Summer Vacation.

Fraternally, Don Bagley, P.M., President
