October 2015 Trestleboard

From The East

During the month of September we had a great Dinner and an amazing program. I would like to thank Past Grand Master, Most Worshipful John L. Cooper III for being our speaker at last month’s Constitutional Observance. It was an honor to hear him speak and to be enlightened by the wealth of information he conveyed.

As we enter the fourth quarter we can look back at the year and see that we have accomplished so much. The lodge is alive and thriving! We have had several initiations and affiliations this year. Our dinners have been a huge success and our programs have been heavily attended. This is thanks to the brethren and ladies of the lodge, your continued support of our events has been greatly appreciated. Also, this would have never have happened without the great support team that I have had the pleasure to work with this year. Thank you everyone for your support!

This month is exciting as I before mentioned. Your officers will be making the final push to get qualified for advancement and elections, which are just around the corner, in November. I have seen so much growth from our officers over the last five years and I am so proud of all their accomplishments. I only wish them the best and know they will continue on with great success.

Grand Lodge's Annual Communication is here again and we will be keeping you informed of the legislation and results. This years Communication is before our stated meeting, which will give us the opportunity to report the results to you sooner, rather than waiting until the November stated meeting, as we have done in recent years.

I am thrilled to be attending this year’s Fall Festival as Master of the lodge. It is going to be the best yet! Please plan to attend and enjoy the festivities.

That’s it for now! So until next time, I want to wish you all the best and a Happy Halloween! If you need anything, want to get involved, or just want to enjoy some fellowship, please feel free to contact me anytime.

Fraternally, Paul Cary, Master

The fire suppression hood over the kitchen stove is completed. All of the fire department requests have been done. Thank you Worshipful Jim Poindexter for all of your hard work in seeing that these tasks were handled. American River Lodge No. 795 will start meeting at the San Juan Masonic Center on Fridays in October, their first Stated Meeting is October 2nd.

We are still looking for a church to rent our building on Sundays, we have had a church that has been back three times to check out our facility, let’s hope this turns into something positive. There are no more large projects on the drawing board at this time for our building.

On October 10, 2015, please support Job’s Daughters Bethel 292 and fill your freezer with delicious homemade tamales. Tamales are large, pre-cooked and easy to re-heat. The cost is $10 for a half dozen (6).. Choice of fillings. Call Carol Burns at or Dixie Van Allen.

Fraternally, Tom Tompkins, P.M., President
