| FROM THE EAST Aloha my brethren, a busy January is in the books and I’d like to thank all of you for your diligent efforts and contributions to masonry. Between officer practices, a funeral service and our first degree we were active to say the least. Congratulations to our new brother, Eric Moller who was initiated on January 23rd. Welcome to the fraternity. It was a pleasure to participate in your admission into masonry. I encourage any brother who hasn’t been to lodge in a while to come down and visit your lodge and meet some of your brothers. We are planning on doing some lodge upgrades to the floor as soon as we form a working group and pick a date. I’d like to again thank all of the brethren for working together with Brother Jim Lysiuk to upgrade our lodge. One housekeeping note, if your address, phone number or email has changed please let Worshipful brother Dan Miller know so he can update our roster. While I was making my holiday calls I found quite a few phone numbers to be non- working anymore. As always it is my honor to serve the fraternity at the will and pleasure of the brethren.
Troy Gibson, Sr. Worshipful Master FROM THE WEST Aloha Brethren, January was a special month for our lodge, not only was it the first month since we’ve been back in full officer and lodge practicing, but we also had our first degree. Big congratulations to our newly initiated entered apprentice mason Mr. Eric Moller. Masonry is a forever growing experience and knowledge and with that said, it’s always an honor to participate in such an eventful evening. Big congratulations to all the officers, for some of you this was the first time conducting a degree in your new station and your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. I extend my invitation to all our members who are available on February 23 & 24 to contact me as we will be redoing our lodge floors. It’s going to be quit the change for our lodge and would encourage all brethren, visiting or not to come and see the improvements. Please attend our February monthly Stated Meeting and Dinner, it is our privilege to accept all traveling brethren and their families who come and experience our Kona Lodge Ohana (family).
Chris Domino Senior Warden FROM THE SOUTH I was born on July 24, 1783 and passed from labor to rest on December 17, 1830 in Venezuela. At an early age I was sent to Spain to be educated, and later moved to France to continue my education. After being enlightened on the continent, I returned to South America to start planning for the overthrow of the Spanish Colonialists and the eventual self governing of the residents of the South American continent. I organized and led an army of revolutionaries that fought and defeated the large number of Spanish expeditionary forces sent to wipe out the patriot army. Following the triumph over the Spanish, I helped form "Gran Colombia" the first union of independent nations in South America. I was its President from 1829-1830. In the peak of my power I ruled an area from the Caribbean Sea to the border of Argentina. I was initiated in the "Masonic Lodge Lautaro" in 1803 in Cadiz Spain. In May 1806, I obtained the status of Master Mason in the "Scottish Mother of St. Alexander" in Paris France. In 1824 I was given the 33* of Inspector General Honorary. I founded the Masonic Lodge No.2 of Peru, named "Order and Liberty". I was very anti-slavery, I admired the American Independence movement, but didn't believe that governmental system would fit and work in South America. Who am I? Simon Bolivar was the liberator of much of South America and the namesake of Bolivia. This is another example of our famous Freemason forefathers, who helped shape portions of the historical past and whose legacies continue to this day.
