FROM THE EAST Aloha brethren, we are really starting to get in full swing with lodge projects, candidates and new brethren receiving their degrees. I congratulate Doc Halliday on receiving his 65 year pin, what a great achievement. Doc, it’s moments like that night, talking story with brethren that make masonry so special. One quick housekeeping note; If you have any checks written to the lodge that haven’t been cashed please contact our treasurer Bro. Bob F. and treasurer in training Bro. Jerry Akers 808-936-1953. Thank you for your attention to this matter brethren. We are having a great Masonic Year and it couldn’t happen without the dedication, guidance and brotherly love that each and every one of you gives. We are truly blessed to be a part of this honorable institution. As always it’s my honor to serve the will and pleasure of the fraternity.
Troy Gibson Master FROM THE WEST Aloha Brethren, as you know we lost my grandfather Dom Domino passed last month. He fought a hard battle with cancer and this time cancer won. It was a known thing that he was declining but it still is a shock when it finally happens. Kona Lodge is very special to our family as Kona Lodge presented him with his 50 year Golden Veterans Award and I also was raised in Kona Lodge by MW Mike Baker PGM. Grandpa Dom will be sorely missed.
Chris Domino PM Senior Warden. FROM THE SOUTH Greetings From The South; As any reader of my columns has noticed, I am a big fan of Masonic history and the Masons who have contributed to, and been instrumental in shaping our lodges, both ancient and more contemporary. This month I will bring to your attention the Rev. Joseph Fort Newton, who authored over 30 books, the most important of which is arguably "The Builders: A Story and Study of Freemasonry" published in 1914. The Rev. Brother Newton was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason in Friendship Lodge #7, Dixon Illinois in 1902. He served as Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of Iowa from 1911-1913. "Masonry was not made to divide men, but to unite them, leaving each man free to think his own thoughts and fashion his own system of ultimate truth." All its emphasis rests upon two extremely simple and profound principles • Love of God and Love of Man". "Masonry super adds to our other obligations the strongest ties of connection between it and the cultivation of virtue, and furnishes the most powerful incentives to goodness". Quotes such as these bring clarity during times of stress for me; I would hope they might help you too. Read about our Masonic forefathers, they have an important story to tell.
Bob Brogan PM Junior Warden & Brother Dom Domino It is my sad duty to report that Brother Robert Parmenter has passed on March 6th after a year’s long battle with cancer. He was one of our "snowbirds: residing in Canada. It is with sadness we report Brother Dom Domino has passed. Brother Dom was a 50 year member and grandfather of WB Chris Domino PM. He fought a long battle with cancer but now has entered into the Celestial Lodge. Soft and safe be thy resting places..... APRIL BIRTHDAYS
