Secretary’s Message

Greetings my Brother!

Be sure to check the upcoming events calendar on the front of the Trestleboard; there are a number of special events coming up this month, and we’d love to see you at Lodge.

Brethren, last month we have updated the Lodge Roster. You can still pick up a copy at the Lodge. We will not be mailing them.

While updating the Roster, there is some pertinent information missing from iMember account (members database). We are missing phone numbers, names of significant others, birthdates, etc. Please let me know of corrections.

Also if you know of any long time members who may have been suspended or forgotten in the Roster, please let me know. We can check and try to reinstate them if possible.

Also if you’re aware of a “Lodge Sweetheart” that has some how been left out of the Roster, please contact me ASAP. All our widows, children and past members are precious to our Coastside legacy.

I invite each of you to join us at all of the Masonic events planned for this year. The other officers of Coastside Lodge have been working tirelessly to represent Coastside Lodge in a favorable light throughout the Masonic Community, and I believe our success speaks for itself. Come on out and participate in our Lodge’s and fraternity’s events!

Remember that in addition to our website and Facebook pages, our monthly Trestleboard is also available via e-mail. If you would like to receive the Trestleboard electronically, please send me your e-mail address at: glopez@netwiz.net

I’ll be happy to add you to our growing cyberspace list. Getting the Trestleboard on-line will save the Lodge roughly $8 per year per member.

There will always be a few hard copies at the lodge for guest and reference. If you do not sign-up for the electronic version, it will still be mailed directly to you.

Brothers, your lodge needs all of you to come out and share your knowledge with us in order to make Coastside Lodge the best that it can be.

Fraternally yours,

Adolph Gus “Gomez” Lopez

Greetings my Brother!

There are still a few Brothers who have yet to pay their 2011 dues. June is the month that is suggested by Grand Lodge that members who have not paid their dues should be suspended for non-payment. Please if you are one of them, please send your dues in as soon as possible or contact me to make arrangements.

Brethren, this month we have updated the Lodge Roster. You will be able to pick up a copy at the Lodge or a copy will be coming to you in the mail shortly.

Finally, I’d like to propose hosting a “Rusty Nail Degree BBQ” this summer at the lodge for those Brothers whom we haven’t seen for a while and who may need a refresher in how to get here. LOL

Secretary’s Message (April 2011)

Greetings my Brother!

Spring is almost here and the Northern California Football League has already started. I hope you will be able to attend one of our games and see the purest form of amateur adult tackle football, they play for the love of the game.

A last reminder, there are still a few delinquent dues and I hope those of you who have a problem will please contact me as soon as possible.

Since last month several of you have taken care of you dues and I thank you for your response. There are still a few brothers we have not heard from. Please my Brothers, do not disregard this matter. Your support through dues is one of the main methods of Masonic Philanthropy.

Every member of Coastside Lodge #762 is very important to us all. Your dues is what allows us to do the great philanthropic works both locally and nationally. As Masons we pledged to help one another and others outside of masonry that are less fortunate than ourselves.

This month we plan to host a Masonic Information night April 21st at 7PM. This would be a great opportunity to connect with new people and reconnect with the brothers of the Lodge. Hope to see you all at the Lodge.

If the Lodge or I can be of any service to you my Brother, please do not hesitate to call me.

Fraternally

Adolph Gus “Gomez” Lopez

Greetings my Brother!

Winter has arrived with all the dol-drums and cool weather. It is also the dreaded period of the year for most Lodge Secretary’s because of the ne-cessity of sending Delinquent Notices to some (20) Brothers.

These are indeed very tough economic times and there are many people who are feeling the pinch. By the time you read this message the Delinquent Dues Letters will have been mailed and if your Dues are not current you are about to receive a letter of reminder from the Worshipful Master.

Please my Brothers, do not disregard this matter. If you have paid your dues and have received your current 2011 Dues Card, please accept my heartfelt thank you for your Lodge Support.

If you have not paid your dues as of yet for any reason, please contact me by phone or mail to discuss this mat-ter. Lets see if there is anything we can mutually do to rectify this situa-tion.

Secretary’s Corner (October 2010)

Secretary’s Corner

During the past couple of months I have submitted to the Trestle board Editor a few articles that I found interesting and promote in me the search of more “Light”. It’s my hope that you have found these of interest too as we share this portion of the Masonic journey together.

Another reminder, “Dues” is an important part of our operating budget. As you know a portion of your dues is sent to the Grand Lodge and if you don’t pay, we still must do so to keep your status as active.

As of this writing there are just a few who have still not paid. If you have not paid your dues for 2010, please do so. I cannot be any clearer on this issue.
Please send me your e-mail address so I can add you to our contact list. I do not send junk mail, just the communications and important undertakings of your Lodge.

Fraternally,
Gus Lopez
Secretary
