Brothers,

The new year brings new energy and new changes.

For example, please take a look at the announcements shown on page 5.

Coastside is now a part of 325th Masonic District and our Inspector is Worshipful Master Tony G. Cimarra.

We all look forward to meeting our New Inspector and working with him during his assignment duration as Inspector.

The 325th district is comprised of Francis Drake No. 376 and Crocker Lodge No. 212.

I also want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation to Worshipful Master Thomas Chavez who served as our Inspector for the past couple of years. We wish him well on his new assignment.

His contact information is shown on the Officers Listing on page 3.

Fraternally
Ron Ragland, WM

Brothers,

As we begin the new year, we will have several brothers to raise in the next couple of months.

This will be an exciting time for the Lodge. Newly raised brothers means that our Coastside legacy will continue. With this in mind we are very interested in starting the “Rusty Trowel” concept here at the Lodge.

The “Rusty Trowel” is our out reach program to bring local raised brothers back to the Lodge.

Upon initial research there are roughly 10 local brothers who have not been to Lodge in a couple of years. And they know who they are.

We want you to know that we care about you and would love to have you attend Lodge at least three or four times a year.

We plan to have a welcome back program in April. So for those who are local and haven’t been here in awhile, expect to receive a invitation call from the Lodge.

By the Plumb,
Noah Lundling

Brethren of Coastside Lodge,

This year will be exciting for me personally because its my preparation year before seating in the East.

There is so much to learn and prepare for. Therefore I will need everyone’s help in getting ready for this year and next year. So if you have any suggestions about what we might do more effectively please let me know.

In the month of February we have several events planned. We have the Sweetheart luncheon and High Tea on February 11th.

We’ll also be hosting the DSOI. All officers are strongly encouraged to attend.

And then we have several degree opportunities planned as well.

Remember all Past Masters and senior members of the Lodge, the more people we have involved the better our degrees will be and the Lodge will continue to prosper. Recall that the strength and support are key to all institutions especially ours. With that being said I wish to extend a personal invitation to come to Lodge and participate in our events and support our new slate of officers. With your physical support we will be able to create and achieve some great things for our Lodge.

Fraternally
David Bobrick

Sweetheart Event (February 2012)

Thursday, 02 February 2012 07:22 Written by Editorial Staff 0 Comments

 

The Sweetheart Event is held in February each year to honor the wives and significant others of Coastside Masons.

The symbols shown to the left signify our desire to honor the widows and our oath to aid and assist them. The symbol is the broken column.

In addition the For-Get-Me-Not flower is being adopted as the constant reminder that our journey to gain more light is supported by our significant others. And if it was not for their emotional support our journey would be ineffective and non-important.

Our Masonic oath calls for us to aid and support orphans, widows and all women.

This year the planning committee will be hosting Coastside Lodges version of “High Tea”.

High Tea begins at 3PM.

Menu

Various Teas
Scones
Strawberries
