| FROM THE EAST Aloha Brethren: October was a very busy month for our lodge. First, I would like to congratulate our newly raised brother, Cory Luke, on becoming an entered apprentice mason. Your Journey has just began. The brethren of the High Twelve Club assisted Chef Ippy Aiona of Ippy’s Hawaiian BBQ in a fund-raiser to promote his new restaurant location in Waimea. The restaurant will be open sometime in January 2019. Thank you to all who attended. All the funds collected were donated to our Masonic Center to keep it open. Most importantly and especially thank you to the officers for all the hard work you’ve been investing into Masonry. I’m very honored in having such a devoted line of officers. Your perseverance has not gone unnoticed, It is Masons like you that keep this fraternity alive and well. This year has literally passed before my eyes. It seems like only yesterday I was installed as Master of Kona Lodge. It has truly been a life changing experience. Every Mason has some part of Masonry he takes home, takes to his work, to his friends and to his family. I’ve been taking in all the lessons of Masonry and applying them to my life and now when I say “masonry makes good men better”, it truly has a different meaning to me. That is why I’m honored in belonging to the greatest fraternity the world has seen. This will be my last trestle board article as Master, and again I cannot thank you all enough for the support, brotherly love and friendship you all have extended to me. I know you all will extend the same graciousness to our SW Brother Troy Gibson who will be taking the East for 2019, Congratulations! Brethren, remember that the November Stated Meeting is elections for next year’s line of officers. Please mark your calendar to attend.
Chris Domino Worshipful Master FROM THE WEST Aloha my brethren; what a exciting October stated meeting we had. There were four men interested in joining that came to our dinner. Our Junior Warden, Joe Zapatoliva, cooked a fantastic meal and great fellowship was had by all. Congratulations Brother Corey Luke on your initiation as an Entered Apprentice Mason. Our first degree on the 24th was spectacular thanks to all who made it happen, particularly Worshipful Chris Domino for cooking and scheduling our practices. It looks like the lodge is in full swing and as the saying goes “it takes a village to raise a child”. In our world the saying is “it takes a lodge to raise a mason”. Each and every one of you is important to that process and I would like to thank all of you for your contribution, dedication, guidance and brotherhood. On a personal note: November is a tricky month for me as my wife is 9 months pregnant so if I’m not around you know why. Thank you again for all of your support and as always it’ s my pleasure to serve the fraternity.
