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

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Brethren!

Remember to don your green—no one wants to risk a leprechaun’s pinch.

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of meaningful work and powerful moments: OSI at Downey United, the Temple Board transition, the Grand Lodge Officers Reception, the Scottish Rite Cap & Ring Ceremony for Bro. Wheeler, and preparations for our upcoming Master Mason conferrals—possibly three before the end of April. And of course, our Lodge fundraiser, “Live Beyond AverAge,” lead by Wor. Dave Romero.

To every brother who invested time, energy, and heart into these efforts—thank you. Your dedication is felt, and it strengthens our Lodge.

Over the past few months, I’ve appreciated the strong turnout at our events and the time spent with our brothers and their families. Meeting your spouses and seeing families join us reminds me that our Lodge isn’t just a place where we gather—it’s a place where we build lasting bonds. We will continue creating opportunities that include and strengthen our families. Remember: spouses and family are always welcome at our Stated Meeting dinners, followed by Bingo while the Lodge is at labor. Their involvement adds to the life and spirit of our Lodge, and I encourage you to bring them out whenever you can.

 As we move into March, the pace will ease slightly as I step away to pursue a long‑awaited personal dream. After our Stated Meeting, we will go dark until the March 19th practice.

As I will be in the Bay Islands of Honduras, on Utila, chasing whale sharks, hoping for an opportunity to snorkel alongside them, and enjoying scuba diving in the warm, clear Caribbean waters.

Lodge Business: We are seeking brothers willing to step forward into committee roles that make a meaningful impact:
Prospect Management: Staying connected with prospects—inviting them to dinner, answering questions, helping them feel welcome.

Retention Committee: Supporting our senior brothers and widows—checking in, offering rides when needed, and ensuring they continue to feel part of our Masonic family. These are just a few areas where your involvement can truly matter.

Lastly, please verify your profile information in iMember 2.0 to ensure you receive all Lodge communications and updates. Should you need assistance, I’m confident our resident tech expert, Bro. Dreger, will be glad to lend a hand.

 Fraternally,
Craig E. Miller
Worshipful Master, 2026

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

As we advance into March we—here in California—prepare to advance our clocks for daylight  savings time and we ourselves for the renewal of the Spring Equinox.

For the remainder of Senior Warden Trestleboard articles, I will provide you a selection of the Masonic education items that I have found in Masonic literature during my time as a Freemason and many years prior

I will draw from several of my favorite authors including J.D. Buck, C.W. Leadbeater, E. A. Wallis Budge, Manley P. Hall, Mark Booth, Dr. Maulana Karenga, Albert Churchward, and others. I'll share some concise thoughts with you in hopes of sparking interests and receiving insight and feedback from those willing to share.

All the best to you and yours,
Marshall R. Goodman, Sr.
Senior Warden

Greetings from the South brethren,

I am truly amazed by the participation we’ve had from the members and extended family of Long Beach Lodge for we had a productive last month! A huge thank you to all who assisted with all the events in February. As the next month is dawning, I am sure all of you are wondering what the Stated Meeting Dinner Menu will be! A carted Corn Beef and Cabbage with Shepherd’s Pie, sides of home-made red potatoes and garden salad.

Fraternally,
David Kinnison
Junior Warden
