1 Temecula Catalina Island Lodge No. 524 Free & Accepted Masons of the State of California Chartered March 28, 1922 May 2013 A Word From the East I hope everybody had a wonderful April. The month was filled with all types of events such as a DeMolay Degree, an Easter Picnic, Master Mason proficiency workshops, Fellowcraft and Entered Apprentice Seminars, building renovations and the ground breaking of the Worshipful Ronald C. Perry Masonic Library. Thanks to brothers Fabian Liendo, Al Bergrstom, Blain Koenig, Wes Frye, Jerry Mann and Mr. Steve Lubich for their assistance with the landscaping party that took place at the lodge. Your hard work is truly appreciated by all and is an example for all to emulate. Brothers Matt Black and Matt Crabtree have spent many hours putting a design and plan in place for the Worshipful Ronald C. Perry Masonic Library. We are now starting the implementation phase, which will require some manual labor such as installing laminating flooring, painting and installing new lighting. If you have time to assist please contact myself or Brothers Matt Black and Blain Koenig. Also, if you have any books that you would like donate to the cause please feel free to drop them off at the lodge. Thank you to the brothers of Menifee Valley Lodge for hosting our April OSI. Although OSI is to assist in fine tuning our officer corps, it is open to all Master Masons. Our next OSI is on May 20 th at 7pm at the Temecula-Catalina Island Lodge. Congratulations to Brother Jerry Mann on being raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason, to Brother Daryl Vidal being passed to the degree of Fellowcraft and Brothers Lucian Rigsby, Gabe Borba, and Carlos Palma on receiving the Entered Apprentice degree. Lastly, on behalf of everybody that attended the Easter Picnic, I would like to thank Worshipful Russ Baldauf and his lovely lady Ruth for allowing us to enjoy an amazing Easter Picnic at their ranch. Also, a special thank you to Brothers John McGoldrick and Tom Hafeli and their ladies Kathy and Janet for their tireless efforts in organizing this amazing event. All enjoyed the amazing fellowship, the food was tasty and plentiful, and the kids were able to hunt Easter eggs and play on the jumper. The kids were even successful at enticing Worshipful Russ onto the jumper. Check out the pictures on our Facebook page. As always I encourage you to keep an eye on the calendar for many upcoming events such as our Annual Teacher of the Year Dinner on May 11 th as well as the various Youth Order events. There is an enormous amount of volunteer work that goes into making these events a success. Please come out and support the youth orders and the new brothers joining our lodge. Your attendance is requested and your recommendations are encouraged. I hope everybody has a wonderful and healthy May and I look forward to seeing you all. Fraternally, Dan Bagwell, Worshipful Master

2 From the Editor Greetings Brethren! May is a great month for Masonry! Several important holidays occur in May, particularly Mother s Day. As good upstanding Masons, we should all make concerted efforts to remember and celebrate that holiday appropriately! Our mothers would never forgive us if we didn t! May is also National Recommitment Month, odd as that may sound. It is a great thing to think about, however. What better time to recommit oneself to the principles of Masonry and to strengthening the bonds of brotherhood. We should never forget that the core of Masonry is brotherly love! Perhaps the most important day in May for Masons is Memorial Day. Memorial Day is officially celebrated on the last Monday during the month of May. Memorial Day is dedicated to service men and women who gave their lives for freedom and country. It is also a time to remember loved ones who have passed away. The roots of Memorial Day go back to 1865 and the end of the Civil War. Memorial Day was first called Decoration Day. It was changed to Memorial Day in John A. Logan gets primary credit for institutionalizing Memorial Day. A Union Major General Logan, as national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, proclaimed a day of remembrance for 30 May Logan was a Master Mason from Illinois. Temecula-Catalina Island Lodge is definitely a lodge that holds Memorial Day near and dear to our hearts. Our lodge is filled with veterans and active servicemen of all branches. The Worshipful Master is a former Marine (although I hear that no one is ever a former Marine - once a Marine, always a Marine.) and I am a U.S. Army veteran. The list goes on and on. Take a moment to remember all of the Masons and non-masons that have served our nation and particularly those that have paid the ultimate price for their service. Yours in Fellowship and Brotherhood, Bob English

4 Charity Brother Chris Apgar is taking ACTION against MELANOMA - He needs our support! Yes, I'm doing it, again! I signed-up to participate in a Melanoma Walk/Run to raise money for melanoma research and awareness. This cause is very important to me as a stage 3C survivor. I've pledged to raise at least $ this year and am hoping to surpass the $ that you - my friends and family - gave so generously last year to support me. To do this, I need your help, again. Please consider making a fully tax-deductible donation so I can reach my goal. Melanoma is the fastest growing cancer in the United States and worldwide. One person dies every 60 minutes from melanoma. And, there is no effective medical therapy for metastatic melanoma. I'm taking on this challenge to do something big that will increase awareness and support research for the CURE. Thanks for your continued support! Youth Orders Month Articles
