Best Fraternal Organization Escondido Near Me

4worldlovers: From scientists and soldiers to politicians and philanthropists, many of the world’s most influential men have also been brothers of the mystic tie – and great authors are no exception. Here, we profile three Masons whose legendary works have captured the imaginations of so many readers both in and out of the brotherhood.

Mark Twain – born Samuel Langhorne Clemens – was the trickster storyteller of American letters, so it should be no surprise that he applied his particular brand of observation to the Masonry as well. Take, for instance, his description of a character in his 1897 “Tom Sawyer’s Conspiracy”:

My Brothers, As the sun sets on my year as Master of the Lodge, I humbly reflect at the great year you all have made. Looking back to the beginning of the year, many were not sure if we would even open. It was not a guarantee that we would be able to return to labor within our Lodge, but through patience and perseverance we were able to open with some restrictions.

In September, NBC’s streaming service Peacock debuted a new television adaptation of Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, based on the follow-up novel to the smash hit The Da Vinci Code. One of the most anticipated novels of all time, The Lost Symbol originally set several sales records when it was released in 2009—selling a million copies on its first day and staying on the New York Times bestseller list for 29 weeks.

My Brothers, the sands of the hourglass seem to be falling faster and faster as the year wanes. Recently, we had our “Past Master’s Night.” The Degree was very well done with Worshipful Tom Handell in the East. The candidate, Bro. Currie, was passed to the Degree of Fellowcraft and enjoyed more enlightenment as he was introduced to additional moral lessons veiled in the allegories of the Middle Chamber. This is a signpost of Consuelo Lodge that the year is coming to an end.

My Brothers, welcome to October! The sun is already setting earlier, the leaves are slowly falling from the trees, and there is more darkness in a 24 hour period than light. As time begins to dwindle down on 2021, Consuelo Lodge is still going strong.

Brethren, we are in the last quarter of the year. In the coming months we will have the Mason of the Year, Hiram Award, Grand Communications, Elections, Veteran’s Appreciation Night, and the Holiday Party. All of this, some degrees including Past Masters Night, and another community project we will fit into the next three months. We can, and we will. I will be breaking up a few of the above events into committee’s to spread out some of the work. That being said, I encourage everyone to participate as they can. Your contribution to the success of these events is what makes Consuelo 325 such a successful lodge. If you would like to volunteer to be a chairman of any of these committees please let me know ASAP.

My Brother’s by the time you receive this Trestleboard edition, August will be over half spent. These last two months have been very busy in the Lodge, and outside with Masonic events. For those that are interested, I trust you have had the capacity to join at least one of the events Consuelo #325 has had to offer. Whether it’s been a degree, Coffee & Donuts, Consuelo at Refreshment, Fire Side Chats, the Pancake Breakfast, or our visit to the combined East San Diego Masonic Lodge # 561/ San Diego #35 Lodges for a BBQ and to donate blood. I would find it easy to defend there has been something for everyone this month.

Around 1853, the subject of this photograph, Samuel Larison (also spelled Larrison), drawn by the promise of the Gold Rush, emigrated to California. Larison mined for a few years and “met with more or less success.” Eventually he left prospecting and purchased land to farm. He settled with his family near the town of Cloverdale in Sonoma County, California. There he became a pioneer winemaker, a cooper for the new wine industry, and a charter member of the town’s Masonic lodge.
