Long Beach Lodge began when Long Beach was just a little city near the beach on a floor above a bank in 1896.

Greetings and Happy New Year!

I would like to congratulate all the newly installed 2026 officers and thank you for your commitment to making this a memorable and successful year.

Our 130th Installation of Officers on January 10, 2026, was a beautiful event filled with fellowship and great food. My sincere appreciation goes to the Installing Team and everyone who assisted with coordination, preparation, and cleanup.

I was blessed with a special surprise moments before the installation—my daughter (and OES Sister) Summer and our youngest grandson, 5-month-old Dawson, flew in from Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, to share this occasion. Their effort and presence made the day even more meaningful.

Please check your email regularly for the tentative 2026 calendar and other announcements, which will be sent electronically.

A few thoughts: Many brothers shy away from positions and commitments in the lodge, often feeling intimidated by the memorization of ritual. In my own journey to the East, I faced those same challenges, doubts, and concerns. Through reading,

studying, and learning our ritual, I grew to understand its deeper meaning. Our ritual—beautiful and magnificent—is truly a guide to living a moral and upright life. I encourage you to revisit any section of the lectures with the intent of discovering their true meaning, rather than simply qualifying or returning a proficiency. Let me know if you gain new insights or appreciation for their teachings.

 Fraternally,
Craig E. Miller
Worshipful Master, 2026

Greetings Brethren, Masonic Family and friends, I hope all is well with you and yours.

First, I’d like to say thank you to the Brethren of Long Beach Lodge #327 for granting me the honor to serve as Senior Warden for the ensuing year. Next, I look forward to a great year supporting Wor. Brother Craig Miller in his role as Master of the Lodge. I have seen the calendar for 2026 and there are many opportunities for the Brethren of Long Beach Lodge #327 to gather and enjoy Fellowship as well as improving ourselves and Lodge Brothers in Masonry. From casual gatherings and celebrations to Degree practices and Conferrals—Wor. Bro. Miller has it planned! Finally, I look forward to working with our Brother Entered Apprentices and Fellowcrafts, and their Coaches, in their efforts to advance in their Work. The Proficiency Memory Work is an integral part of our Craft; and to me, a way to engage the Tenets of our Fraternity on a deeper level. A note for those looking to advance in the Degrees: Patience and Perseverance are central components to becoming Proficient in the Blue Lodge Degrees, and they are central components for practicing our Craft overall. Be ready to apply the principles of the Twenty-Four Inch Gauge by allotting time to become Proficient in your current Degree. I am here and very willing to assist you all.

All the best to you and yours,

Marshall R. Goodman, Sr.
Senior Warden

Greetings from the South brethren. I feel truly honored to have been elected as Junior Warden of Long Beach Lodge and I hope that you all will enjoy my tenure as such. I wish to continue the excellent dinners that we have enjoyed in the past and for those brothers who enjoy the pleasure of cooking and relieving in the comradery that comes from the kitchen, I plan to have at least 2 dinners in the following year that will be cooked at Lodge, those are most likely to be a BBQ in the summer and a German themed Octoberfest! 

I would like to thank brother Marshall Goodman for giving me some guide lines for being Jr. Warden for such a large lodge as ours here in Long Beach. A very large thanks to Phebe Fricioni for being a power house of a helper and all those brothers and sisters who have assisted with cleaning and setup. 

 For our next stated Meeting Dinner menu will be chicken alfredo and meatball pasta as the main course, then garlic bread and a vegetable dish. If any brother/sister or guest has a dietary need please reach out to me and I will do my best to accommodate. 

I wish to congratulate brothers Morgan Wheeler and Bobby Macias as our new Stewarts and who I will be asking for assistance at Stated Meeting Dinners in the future. I wish to extend a final thank you to Brother Leo Machado for his energetic assistance.

Fraternally,
David Kinnison
Junior Warden
