| FROM THE EAST Aloha my brothers, I am starting with thanking our brethren from Kilauea Lodge for being such gracious hosts for their first degree. I also would like to thank WB John Nordblum PM for allowing me to sit in the east and the officer line for putting on a fantastic degree to initiate out new brother Scotty Duggan. The experience was absolutely top notch and mahalo for the privilege. Kona Lodge continues to be very active and a heartfelt thank you to the officers and members of Kona lodge. We truly have a team effort approach and I am grateful to each and every one of you. Personal thanks, specifically to our Junior and Senior Wardens, for organizing the logistics of our Annual Kona Lodge Picnic. To my fellow lodge officers your dedication to the craft is exemplary. Our annual picnic was a hit as usual and it couldn’t happen without that team approach that I spoke of earlier. The food was fantastic and the fellowship was the highlight. On a sadder note on Saturday, July 27th, we said good-bye to one of our long time members, Gordon Poire. His Tribute of our Affection was commenced at the Fish Hopper Restaurant, at 2:00PM. Brother Gordon was an active member in the Kona Shrine Club, the Scottish Rite, and Kona Lodge until his long time illness which led to his passing. “Soft and Safe to thee my brother be thy resting-place” Amen! Officiating were MW Michael P. Baker Sr. PGM and WB Dan Miller PM. In closing I would like to encourage each and every one of you to come down and join us and meet some of the newer brothers (there are quite a few). We remain busy and that is a positive thing. I am looking forward to seeing all of you soon.
Troy Gibson Master Aloha Brethren, It was another great and pleasant afternoon at our annual Kona Blue Lodge potluck and I want to say thanks to all that helped prepare, cook and bring our favorite dishes especially Mrs. Betty Meyerson’s cherry cobbler, if you never had it you don’t know what you’re missing, and to the Kokua (help) crew for setting up and breaking down our event, very much appreciated!! To all our traveling brethren and family members, mark your calendars and join us for monthly stated dinner and we’ll be having a first degree at the end of this month so brethren, please come and celebrate the important event and Masonic comradery.
Chris Domino PM Senior Warden FROM THE SOUTH "It has not been my fortune to know very much of Freemasonry, but I have had the great fortune to know many Freemasons and have been able in that way to judge the tree by its fruit. I know of your high ideals. I have seen that you hold your meetings in the presence of the open Bible, and I know that men who observe that formality have high sentiments of citizenship, of worth, and character. That is the strength of our Commonwealth and Nation.” Calvin Coolidge "Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion; and its teachings are instructions in religion.” Albert Pike II Samuel 11 States: "And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house". There are many more references to David and Solomon, and as Masons we strive for enlightenment. Enlighten yourselves and read more; become conversant in our ancestry. See you at the August Stated Meeting! Bob Brogan PM Junior Warden AUGUST BIRTHDAYS
