Brethren,

Hope y’all doing well.
I wrote this message while in Texas.

Doing this fundraising ride across USA opened my eyes with different and more positive outlook in the brotherhood.

How we were received and treated by brothers & Shriners was really incredible.

I wish you are all with me to experience first hand how strong this brotherhood really is.

Please continue to support and promote the fundraising .

Your compliments are highly appreciated but it won’t increase the donations, so please convert those compliments into donations.
Every penny counts.

Fraternally,
Dave Romero
Your Brother

Brethren,

It’s hard to believe we’ve blown through the first 5 months of 2023 already.  Amazing how time flies.  It seems to go much faster as we get older. 

Our Worshipful Dave has begun his journey across the country.  I hope you were able to attend the sendoff.  As of this writing, he just left Santa Rosa, NM and is on his way towards Tucumcari.  He’s making good progress for sure.  Remember, this is a fund-raiser for both Shriner’s Children’s Hospitals and Masonic Homes.  If you’re able, please make a donation.  This can be done through a link on our website, www.masonry.org.

We’re working up to hold more degrees in July.  Right now, we’re tentative to hold two third degrees on July 10, a Saturday.  More details on that will follow.

I look forward to seeing you all at our next stated meeting on June 1.

Fraternally,
Dean West
Senior Warden

Brethren,

I hope you and yours are doing fine and well. Last month, we had the opportunity to send the Worshipful Dave Romero off at the lodge on his journey to ride across America to bring awareness and support to both Masonic Homes of California and Shriners’s Children’s Hospital. You can support and catch Worshipful Dave’s progress on Instagram @davecyclingacrossamerica as he makes his way to the Big Apple, New York City! 

The latter part of May brought in the June Gloom a bit early. Make sure to dress appropriately and keep those light sweaters out before packing them for the summer.

As a reminder, every 1st Thursday of the month, we have our monthly dinners starting at 7pm. This month’s menu includes: Rice, fried egg, seasoned burger patties and gravy topped with green onions. Vegan patties may be available. Bring your friends and families to the monthly dinners. $10 donation is suggested. 

Last month I had the opportunity to visit the Segerstrom Event Center in Irvine, CA. Segerstrom Shelby Event Center If you haven’t had the change to visit and are a classic car enthusiast, Shelby Mustang in particular, this is definitely the place to visit. Make sure to check out the dedication at the flagpole near the entrance of the event center. Special Thank you to Worshipful Mike Selix of International City Lodge.

Stay tuned for upcoming events happening here at Long Beach Lodge 327 by visiting www.masonry.org
