| FROM THE EAST Aloha my brethren, congratulations to our newest brother Maxwell Baum. The journey is just beginning and we are honored to be a part of that. I thank all the officers and brethren who helped in the first degree. Special congratulations to our WB Senior Warden for his sitting in the east for a first degree. You did a great job my brother and I thank you. For the officers it’s that time to start thinking about your progression in the line. Brother Lysiuk, thank you for leading the charge and setting an excellent example. We have some important fiscal discussions to have, about the lodge financials, so please do your best to attend lodge to have your voice heard. If for some reason you are unable to attend lodge please feel free to call me or any of the pillars to get up to speed on our current issues and voice your opinion. This is a lodge of brethren and each and every one of your voices need to be heard. As always it is my honor and privilege to serve the fraternity and I hope to see you soon.
Master FROM THE WEST Aloha Brethren, I would like to congratulate our newly raised EA Mason Maxwell Baum, I was pleased to be a part of your first step into the fraternity.

Of course it seems that nothing is as it was, anymore, as a lot of schools are now starting in August. What happened to having 3 months off for the summer? I guess it's the “new normal”. Back to the subject: During the 2018/2019 school year, Kona Lodge donated some much appreciated supplies to a worthy class. But we didn't donate those supplies until well into 2019. We can view the timing of this donation in one of two ways: (1) we made the donation toward the end of the school year when, maybe just maybe, the class was low on supplies, or (2) we could maybe make a donation to a worthy class earlier, so the class might better use the resources we provide them. Remember, these supplies were donated by Kona Lodge's individual members generosities, no Lodge funds were solicited. I will be bringing this matter to your attention at the Stated Meeting, so please have a think about it. Another thought about supporting education: I've seen articles in the local paper concerning back-pack giveaways done by different organizations. Is that something that interests anyone, and can we support something like that in the future? I would love to talk to you about educational support, so please come see me.
