Greetings from the East

Brethren, a reminder that we will be working in advanced stations for our June stated meeting. If you intend to be installed as an officer next year, you will need to demonstrate the work during an upcoming degree, or to the Inspector, prior to Installation in December. It is necessary to have your proficiency vouched for prior to being installed in your  office, for 2011.  If you are unsure what is required of you, contact the Officers’ Coach, Bro BJ McCuiston, PM. Attendance at the monthly Inspector’s School of Instruction is a requirement.

The Outdoor 3rd Degree will be held on June 19th, at Forest Ranch. Lodge will open at 9AM.  This degree is scheduled a little earlier  than normal, due to a conflict with the Grand Master’s schedule, which will definitely affect attendance to this event.  Members of The California Masonic Posse have been asked to confer the degree, since Salinas Masonic Lodge #204 has a peace officer they hope will be ready by this time.  We already have a committee assigned; Bro. BJ McCuisten (Degree), Bro, Larry Connell and Bro Skip Bradbury, whom will assist with lodge preparations and family BBQ to follow. Rainbow & Eastern Star will be asked to assist with the Bar-B-Q preparation. Ticket sales will be discussed  at our next stated meeting and in the June Trestleboard.
