Welcome Lodge No. 255
Trestle Board F. & A. M. of the State of California
From the East Worshipful Charles Dimaano, PM
Greeting Brethren,
I hope this message finds all of you in good health and wellness. February
was another busy month for the lodge. Aside from our monthly stated
meeting, we had a very enjoyable Sweethearts and Widows dinner on the 14th
of February. I would like to thank all the brothers who helped make the event
a successful one.
As I previously mentioned our combined Lodge picnic with Hanford Lodge
was scheduled for June 15. That event has been moved to June 8 at Heritage
Park in Lemoore. Bowling night is scheduled for July 20 and our Camping
trip at Lake Millerton is from October 11-13.
I also want to update you on our Investment Account. As I mentioned in the
trestleboard last month, we are working with Edward Jones to get access to
our accounts. We now have most of our accounts being managed by them.
We ran into a couple of issues with 2 of our accounts but we are in the
process on getting access to them.
Congratulations to Brother Christian Datu on being passed to the Second
Degree of Freemasonry. He also did an outstanding job on giving the long
form proficiency of the First Degree. During that same night Brother Paul
Jones also gave his First-Degree proficiency and did an outstanding job as
well.
In closing I would like to leave you with this quote “When you were born
you cried while the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when
you die, the world cries while you rejoice.”
Fraternally,
Charles D. Dimaano, PM
Worshipful Master

A Note to the Family
If you are receiving the Trestle Board and wish to continue to receive it, we are happy to
continue mailing it. We also know that some of the families of our departed Brothers no
longer wish to receive it. If that is the case, please notify Jack Cloud at
[email protected] and we will be happy to update our mailer. We would also just
enjoy hearing how the family is doing if you want to let us know. Thank you.

2019 DUES
Brethren, there’s nothing more disheartening for the Secretary
than to send delinquent dues notices. March is that month!
Notices will go out in to those who have not paid their dues to
date. Please take a few minutes to send them in. Your support
is greatly appreciated. If you have paid and not yet received
your receipt (card), please call or text me. Thank you.
Secretary POC: Ph: (559) 381-2112 Email: [email protected]
From the West Brother Ed Kaczynski
Brethren,
I’ve seen our lodge improve with time, we are a team and it’s our responsibility to make things happen. I invite ALL BRETHREN to attend meetings and ceremonies.
We have learned our craft from PM’s and brothers, young and old. Our PM’s have a wealth of knowledge and are honed in the craft.
For all officers this year, if in anyway possible, make the practices. The Officers Coach plans the event for us and is there to help us master the Craft; Thank you Worshipful Herme, I appreciate all you have done for Welcome Lodge.
My brothers, we are all a team and no one person can do what we all can do together.
Fraternally, Brother Ed Senior Warden

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away.”
– Bro. Henry David Thoreau
Upcoming Events
Brethren,
We have a large building and it’s hard to maintain. Each and everyone who utilizes the lodge must help maintain it.
I have cleaning supplies set aside in the table storage area. Bags are in the bottom drawer in the kitchen. If you spill or drop food and/or make a mess, please clean it up. If you are going to use the Lodge, and you are not scheduled for it, please contact me first. We have rentals coming in and out that take priority. I appreciate your help in keeping the lodge clean.
Fraternally, Brother Ed Building Manager
