| FROM THE EAST Aloha Brethren, My time as Master of the Lodge is slowly coming to end and I would like to share this: As I traveled on my recent vacation, I had time to reflect on one particular thing that being Master of the Lodge truly means to me. As a Master Mason, we are able to travel in foreign countries, work and receive master mason wages, the better to support ourselves and family, and so on.. Being the Master of this lodge, I feel that my wages are seeing the lodge continue on growing with brethren supporting and spreading brotherly love, relief and truth. Also, seeing new members being initiated is very rewarding with the knowledge that our own Kona Lodge is growing by new brethren bringing new Masonic fellowship which hopefully turns into friendships. I’ve also learned that being a Master Mason let alone Master of a lodge, does not happen overnight nor just by doing the work as an officer with ritual movements and lectures. That just prepares one for the journey and continuance of Masonic Education of what being a Master Mason truly is. I thank our Brother Senior Warden Troy Gibson on sitting in the East when I was traveling and to Brother Ippy Aiona for taking care of the stated meeting dinner. Last note, I thank all the officers that have been putting in the work, for their dedication in attending the practices, and preparing to put on future degrees. We have a few 1st degrees coming up, so please make your calendars and attend the ritual.
Chris Domino Worshipful Master FROM THE WEST Aloha brethren, I am pleased to inform those of you who were unable to attend the stated meeting that we have voted two gentlemen to receive the degrees of masonry. This of course means that there is much work ahead, which is exciting. Our new grill was christened by our Brother and Chef ‘Ippy.” He gave us a preview of the fundraiser meal and trust me it was ono. I would like to echo something that was discussed in our meeting. Each of you has something specific that you enjoy about masonry and I encourage you to share it with the brethren. Brother Whipple shared some historic thoughts and it was truly appreciated by all. I would like to solicit anyone to share any Masonic points of interest in our next meeting Make sure to give the master or any of the pillars due and timely notice so we can make time and be prepared. It is my honor to serve the will and pleasure of the lodge.
Troy Gibson Sr. Senior Warden FROM THE SOUTH Aloha Brethren, This coming October signals a great opportunity for the Kona Lodge to shine. We are on track to opening our doors to a potential brother. I ask all officers who are taking part in these degrees to take the time to practice on their own. To understand what it takes to be an Entered Apprentice Mason in a Lodge of Master Masons, we need to study to remember. We have a duty to our forefathers and to ourselves to continue to learn. Our teachings help us to remove the rough edges in our lives and to shape our character, and to understand that we are not alone. I ask all brethren who have not had the opportunity to join us in the past to keep abreast of our final scheduled date to receive our newest candidate. Come and share fellowship with us during our stated meeting and enjoy a good dinner with fellow brethren and guests.
