History

Long Beach Lodge No. 327 F&AM originally begun in 1896 and occupied a space in a bank building on Pine Avenue in downtown Long Beach when the City of Long Beach was a small town by the beach. Since then, several thousand good men have come through its doors and incorporated the teachings of Freemasonry into their lives, thus bettering themselves and our society.
Just over 60 years ago the Lodge moved into its current location on Locust Ave. Built by men of vision, our current Masonic Facility has served numerous Lodges, and other Masonic affiliated groups with beauty and distinction.
Today, Long Beach Lodge has a membership just under three hundred and fifty. It meets the first Thursday evening of the month for its Stated Meeting and the subsequent Thursdays evenings are for degrees and social functions.
In addition to being part of an ancient fraternity as a brotherhood, we participate in a variety of community support efforts throughout the year. Our members are proud of their fraternity and the legacy of Freemasonry.

A Little About Us

September message from the Senior Warden

Brethren,

We’ve had a few very nice degrees this past month.  For those that attended, I thank you for showing your support.  I’m sure when you were initiated, passed and raised, you received the same support from your brothers.

We’ll be holding more degrees in the coming months.  I hope all of you can attend.

Personally, I’ve made  few travels this past month in the Motorhome with my lovely wife Debbie and our three dogs, Kona, Mala and Minnie.   Our last trip was to June Lake.  We took the dogs out on the boat and caught lots of fish.  There’s nothing better than a fresh pan-fried trout right out of the lake.  June Lake is where Debbie and I met over 43 years ago.  We’ll be doing the same trip again at the end of September.  This time, we’ll be spending another week in June Lake and a few days in Yosemite.

I hope you’ll be able to attend the upcoming degrees.  I understand life gets in the way but if you can make the time to attend, I’m sure it will mean a lot to the candidates going through their degrees.

I hope to see you all at the lodge again soon.

Fraternally,
Dean West
Senior Warden

September message from the Junior Warden

Brethren,

 

I hope you and yours are doing fine and well. We had a couple of events that happened this past month. One being the Country Western BBQ event we had last month. It was filled with great food, great vibes and lots of fun. There was even a mechanical bull on site! It was great to see everyone enjoying themselves with all of our friends and family. We also had a 1st Degree Conferral and I am proud to call Aljohn Santiago a Brother. Congratulations and welcome to the Long Beach Lodge 327 family. 

 

We also had a 3rd Degree for Brother Julius Dagodol and we all had the great experience to witness the masterful work of the brothers from the Round Table Lodge perform the 3rd Section of the 3rd Degree. If you have not had the chance to watch them, please do! 

 

This month we have two 2nd Degree conferrals happening. Please come and join us to help us pass our brothers to the next degree. 

Please continue to check our website for information on that event and other events happening this month and the next couple of months. Reminder that every first Thursday of the month we are have dinner and stated meeting. Dinner starts at 7pm and the Stated Meeting will follow right after. We ask for a $10 donation. The menu will be: tacos; chicken, pork, beef with a side of rice and beans. For our Vegans out there, we will have mushroom tacos and salad. Come all and bring all! We look forward to seeing you and any of your friends.
