| FROM THE EAST Aloha my brethren, I would like to first to express my most sincere thanks to all the brethren for having the confidence in me to serve as the worshipful master of our lodge for the upcoming Masonic year. It truly is a honor to serve the fraternity and I will do my absolute best to continue our rich tradition of brotherhood. Thank you to all the officers who are willing to stand side by side and serve with me, you men are a true inspiration. I thank all of our Past Masters and Past Grand Master for the words of wisdom and guidance that has gotten me to this point and let you know that your mentorship is vital to the continuing success of our lodge. To the brethren and their families, I again thank you for your confidence and support as we continue to build on our Masonic foundation to preserve our ancient and honorable fraternity. I look forward to seeing all of you in lodge and am excited to enter in the new Masonic year with all of you. On November 11, we paid our last tribute to Brother James Grimes, best known for his Shrine Clown antics. Brother Jim has entered into that Celestial Lodge above. At the request of his family, we performed a Last Tribute of Affection. It was well attended with MW Michael P. Baker Sr. PGM and WB Dan Miller PM officiating. “Soft and safe to thee my brother be thy resting place.” I have saved the best for last! Kui and I have a new baby girl in the family. We named her Aaliyah Sanoekeakealaniwili’ iamekealohamaikalanimai Gibson (meaning “The white heavenly mist woven with love from heaven).” See you at the December Stated Meeting.
Troy Gibson Master FROM THE WEST Aloha Brethren!! It was an exciting month in November as we elected officers for the ensuing Masonic Year. I again congratulate Brother Troy Gibson as he has been elected and has accepted the Worshipful Master’s station in the East. I offer my congratulations on the arrival of your newest family member, Aaliyah S. H. Gibson; much blessing to your Ohana!! To all the brethren that have advanced to their next station I congratulate you. Masonry is a forever on-going learning experience and growth, and with the dedication you all show, it’s what keeps this lodge alive and well. In December, I encourage all brethren, families and friends to come and join us in the Installation of officers, it is open to all and we will be having our picnic after the installation at the Old Airport Pavilion #3. Our very own brother, Chef Ippy Aiona, will be cooking the main course and I’m sure you won’t want to miss this occasion! Remember this is a pot luck, so bring your favorite side dish, salad, or dessert. See you there.
Chris Domino Senior Warden FROM THE SOUTH Greetings Brethren, thank you for asking me to occupy the Junior Wardens chair next year, it will be my pleasure to serve Kona Lodge and our new Master. In the Book Of 1Kings, we read: "And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains; Beside the chief of Solomon's officers, which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work." Sound familiar? I have been researching Masonic history, especially pre- 1717 history, and I am learning more about our ancient ancestors. I hope these facts motivate you as Mason's to want to delve into our very interesting past. I will be sharing more facts and some speculation in the future. The December Stated meeting dinner will probably consist of a delectable ham main course and assorted other mouth watering items. See you in Lodge.
Bob Brogan, PM Junior Warden
