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

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

August message from the Master

Brethren,

For the first time in a long time, Long Beach Lodge had an outdoor event which was held in the beach. It was a very good BBQ event although, sadly attended by very few members. I would like to thank Bros. Harry, John IV, Albert, Raymond, Ana and Via for their efforts in this event. Bro. Harry created a nice invitation flyer and coordinated other brothers for participation. Good time nonetheless.

We had the opportunity to fellowship with fellows who expressed their interest for membership to our lodge.

September 2, 2022, Friday, is really important event for our lodge. We are celebrating our 125th Anniversary. It will be a sit-down dinner so it is important that you send your RSVP. This celebration will be attended by the Grand Master & Grand Lodge Officers .It will also be the reception for Matt Vander Horck , a member of our lodge who is now the Assistant Grand Lecturer.

August 8-12 will be the last day to let us know if you are attending. Please email our Brother Secretary John Gaddis IV at secretary@masonry.org

The quantity of food to be catered will depend on your RSVP. Let us avoid the inconvenience of not having a seat or food caused by not confirming your attendance.

I am also asking for volunteers to help set up for the event. Call me directly at 562 818 27 88

Fraternally,
Dave Romero
Your Brother

October message from the Junior Warden

Brethren,

What a fantastic celebration we shared September 2! A tremendous amount of planning, organizing and executing was put forth to make the 125 Year Celebration an overwhelming success! I have heard nothing but positive feedback from everyone. Thank you to all who volunteered to work together to make it such a memorable evening.

October is here and it’s time for Grand Lodge 173rdAnnual Communication. Let’s bid safe, fun and memorable travels to Masons throughout our great State.

We are still planning to confer a Third Degree in the near future and are still looking for volunteers
to help fill all the stations. If you are interested
in taking part in the degree please contact Wor. Dave
Romero.

Enjoy Autumn and stay warm as the weather cools.

Fraternally,
Brian Halter
Junior Warden
