Hello Brothers;
   We Have a new Master Mason in our lodge. Welcome Efren Prado. Don't let anyone fool you, it takes time and hard work. You learned much so be proud. I know we are proud of you. I feel honored to be your friend, Brother Efren, feel free to check out our library. We have a great library. There is so much knowledge there. Also this library is for all of us to use, use it my brothers. Efren was raised on June 10th 2010. I want to thank the officers for a outstanding job. John Nelson P.M. did an excellent talk after the Degree. Also thanks to Janet Price and Ruth (my wife) for the great dinner.
   We also had a double Second Degree on June 17th. The candidates were
Joel Henderson and Minas Bekerjian. Again the officers did a outstanding job. It was great to see so many sideliners. After the degree Brother Jim Ritter talked to us about the Trestleboard, well done. Also again thanks to Janet Price and Ruth for the great dinner. We are so fortunate.
   I hope all of you have read the California Freemason for June and July. It is full of inspiring information. We seem to always think of how Masonry has changed history. Well we are changing everyday life now. You should read (In California) by Heather Boerner. The article tells about three of our brothers who've made a lasting contribution to their scientific fields. Ludwig senior warden at Placerville lodge 26, referred to as the Time Traveler, Sonny Stormes , The Mastermind, and Randy Brill, the Dolphin Whisperer. Also read Around the World by Cason
Lane. "The next time you get a flu vaccine, search the Internet, or enjoy some fast-food fries, don't forget to thank the Freemasons. For centuries, Masons around the globe have been the minds behind important scientific discoveries and breakthroughs. From life-saving medical miracles to feats of physics." It's worth taking some time and reading.
   Well summer is here and we are enjoying the warmer weather. A lot of
you are on vacation or are planning on one soon. Remember to be safe
and have a great time.

Satisfaction

There's no skill in easy sailing

When the skies are clear and blue

There's no joy in merely doing

Things that anyone can do

But there is great satisfaction

That is mighty sweet to take

When you reach a destination

That they said you couldn't make
