Grand Lodge, an Exceptional Experience

August 2015 Trestleboard Cover

Greetings, Brethren!

Soon, the Grand Lodge of California will hold its 166th Annual Communication. It will take place in San Francisco during the weekend of October 9-11. Please join us for this special celebration at the California Masonic Memorial Temple in that great city. If you are a Master Mason and haven’t attended a Grand Lodge session, I encourage you to make the trip. This is your opportunity to witness the decision making process of the resolutions that will govern us as Freemasons in California. You will have the opportunity to meet Masons from all over the state. I have attended all but one since I have been a Master Mason and it has given me the opportunity to have great conversations with my peers and discuss ways to improve our Lodge experience. The event takes place over three days and there are Grand Lodge sessions on Friday and Saturday, the Grand Master’s Banquet on Saturday evening, and the installations of officers on Sunday afternoon. The banquet and installation will be open to non-masons. Tickets to the banquet can be purchased at www.freemason.org

A great way to get an overview of the 2015 resolutions, whether or not you attend Grand Lodge, would be to join me at the next Masonic Service Bureau meeting on September 27 at the Pasadena Scottish Rite Temple, 150 N. Madison Avenue in Pasadena, where the Most Worshipful R. Stephen Doan will give us a review of the resolutions for consideration at this year’s Communication. There will be donuts and coffee at 9:15 AM and the meeting will start at 10:00 AM. I look forward to seeing you there.

Fraternally,
Adam Wolf, Master
