FROM THE EAST
        Greetings brethren, Happy 4th of July.Remember to
make plans to attend the Annual Lodge Picnic at Old Kona
Airport on July 24th. Social hour is 12:00 and we intend to
sit down to eat at 1:00.This is a pot luck and the lodge will
be providing the main dishes. We need Desserts and Salads.
       It was great to see so many of our Masonic Family at
the June stated meeting. We had a great dinner provided by
Brother Ramon Villasenor and shared some quality time.
       A motion to increase dues from $75.00 annually to
$85.00 annually was discussed, voted upon and passed
unanimously. Grand Lodge executive committee has
approved the
amend-ment to our by-laws.
       We had a first degree on June 30th for Jorge Villasenor
the brother of our very own Ramon Villasenor, Junior
Deacon. Congratulations Brother Jorge on your first step in
a life long journey to enlightenment. Dinner was provided by
Brother Ben Spencer
       Brother Danilo Ebias, JW, sat in the East for the first
time and did an excellent job.
       We participated in the Kailua Kona 4th of July parade.
We walked in aprons and full regalia, a first for our lodge.
We joined the Shiners, of which most are members of our
lodge. This was a first, the Shrine Club and Blue Lodge
marching together. I hope you had a safe and happy 4th of
July.
       I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the
upcoming picnic and the stated meeting on July 7th.
Fraternally yours
Mike Baker, Master


FROM THE WEST

       I would like to congratulate our newest Entered
Apprentice Mason, Brother Jorge Villasenor.   Jorge is the
brother of our Junior Deacon, Brother Ramon Villasenor.  I
would also like to thank Brother Pete Wikeen, who volun
-
teered to fill in at Senior Deacon that evening, since our
current Sr. Deacon, Brother Rocco Landi is taking some
classes on Wednesdays in preparation for the birth of Yuko
and his first child. Congratulations to them both!
       I also want to congratulate Brother Danny Ebias, who
sat in the East for the first time officially, and delivered a
fine Master’s Lecture. He claims that he was nervous, but
you would never know it. He did a great job. Last but not the
least I want to thank Brother Admar Ularte, who delivered a
stirring rendition of the Entered Apprentice Charge.
       I  hope all of you had a safe and wonderful Holiday and
plan to join us at the Old Airport Park on July 24th for our
Annual Masonic Picnic.  This event is always a fun time, with
lots of good food and fellowship to be had. Bring your
family and friends for a good time.  Thank all of you for your
support of Kona Lodge. Without you, our Lodge would not
exist.
J. Dan Miller, P.M.
Senior Warden
