Brethren,

According to the brothers, their families and guests, the Sweethearts and Honorable Ladies’ Night was great and they have enjoyed what the night had brought. The food, the music, the design set up and the ambience. Thanks to the volunteers Wor. John Gaddis IV, Brothers Harry Bugarin, Orly Mangahis Rommel Arellano and Andy Valdez. Also from our volunteer prospects and applicants Eljohn Soriano and Ruben Datu. Sheila Bugarin and lastly but definitely not the least Ana Romero. It showed that if we come together as a lodge, we can come up with not just a great event but with a meaningful and enjoyable fellowship.

On March 16, let us convene to support candidates Ruben Datu and Ron Noble as they go through their first degree conferral. Your attendance may inspire them for a continous journey in Masonry. 

As you may already know, I initiated a cycling fundraising that will benefit the Shriners Hospital For Children and California Masonic Homes. This cycling event will start on May 13 from our lodge to New York. In conjunction with the fundraising ,Wor. Mike Selix of International City Masonic Center, to support, will host a breakfast and mimosa at his lodge at 5155 E Pacific Coast Highway CA 90804 on March 25 from 9:00am to 1:00 pm. Donation is $15.00. All proceeds will be for the fundraising. The same live band that performed at our Sweethearts and Honorable Ladies’ Night will be there to add to the fun. Please join us and support.

Save the date , April 23,2023 for our own Long Beach Lodge 327 Annual Pan cake breakfast. Good food, games and fun awaits.

Fraternally,
Dave Romero
Your Brother

Brethren,

I had a busy month in February. First we’ve had our 1^st degree practices.  In addition to that, I also had the opportunity to travel to other lodges.  First was when our Worshipful Brother Dave Romero and I travelled to Huntington Beach Lodge #380 for a 3^rd degree conferral.  The very next week I was at Newport Mesa Lodge# 604 for a 2^nd degree.  Both conferrals were done very well and were well attended with over 20 sideliners at each.  It was also nice to meet new brothers in new places and put Long Beach Lodge in their thoughts and minds.  I invite all of you to make a trip to a different lodge.  If you hear of a degree conferral, and wish to attend, please let me know and I’ll be more than happy to go with you.   Perhaps we can make a larger presence and have a good number of our members make the trip and enjoy the event(s).

On March 25, International City will be hosting a breakfast as a fund raising event for our Worshipful Master’s bike ride across America.  Please do what you can to attend and support our Master and Long Beach Lodge.

We have our own degrees coming up. We’ll be practicing for those as well and all of you are welcome to show up and hang out.  You don’t need to participate in the degree.  Just being there is enough.

I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Fraternally,
Dean West
Senior Warden

Brethren,

Greetings from the South to you and your families. 

We had another great event this past month at the Sweethearts and Honorable Ladies Night. Great food, great vibes and especially a great time! Thank you again to all of you who took the time to help set up for the event days before and especially staying after the event to help break down and clean up. Looking forward to our upcoming events this year. 

Please remember, our stated meetings fall on the first Thursday of every month at 8pm. We also have dinner during our stated meeting days that start at 7pm. Please invite your friends and family to come and join us for a little bit of fellowship and breaking of bread. We ask for a donation of $10 a plate. Looking forward to seeing all of you, your friends and family at our next stated meeting dinner.
