Great job in a difficult time to the officers of 2020. Congratulations to the lodge officers for 2021. We have a bright year ahead of us.... (Image of zoom installation of officers. Where 2 Past Grand Masters of California and our Right Worshipful and Grand Officers were in attendance. We feel incredibly blessed to have them with us.) Thank you to the 78 people that made time to attend our web event. We appreciate you greatly for your support and love. - It's an incredible time to be Masons!

**Update to all of our members.** As discussed at our stated meeting, starting April the lodge newsletter "The Gauge" will now be emailed only. This move is being done to better serve and better inform our brothers. The current format that has existed for many years has limited us on the amount of articles and news we would like to get out to our members. With the rollout of our email newsletter we will no longer have the 2 page limitation and will be able to provide real ti...me links, more in depth lodge news, and full resolution picture for you to save to your computers. On top of this, we will also be doing polls and surveys that help us provide better service, communication and events to our members. If you have any question, please feel free to contact the lodge master and or the officers of the lodge. We will still be able to provide a limited print version for brothers that wish to receive it due to limited access to internet or other limiting circumstances. Thank you all.

Brothers, Family, and Friends... We are aware we have been silent on out facebook page for some time now... like many other organizations much of it is do to us being unable to meet to perform degrees, hold events, or have functions. With that said, We wanted to take this time hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy. We can't wait to come together once again as we miss everyone dearly.... If you for any reason need to talk, remember we are all brothers. Never hesitate to call on us. Cheers.

Brothers, We are pleased to announce our adoption of the Grand Lodge's iMember 2.0 system. Please head to freemason.org as you usually do and sign in. Some people will have to create a "new" account but please use the same email address you have always used to access the Grand Lodge member website. You may be asked for your member number which is included on the label of every California Freemason Magazine that is mailed to your home. ... Once you are in, please help us by updating your information in your profile if anything is out of date or has changed. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. On behalf of the 2020 officer line, We hope you are all staying safe. If you are in need of assistance, always feel free to reach out to any of the officers of the lodge. Cheers.

A fantastic video by an amazing and talented brother. Remembering the life and art of brother Vassil Bebelekov. Beautiful Bulgarian Folk music that was inspired by his Grand Father and his mountain town of Devin Born July 31st 1960 Passed July 31st 2016
