Brethren,
Congratulations to all on a year well done and thank you to our junior Past Master, Worshipful Brother Miguel Zavala! Another congratulations to all those officers and Brothers recognized for their hard work and contribution in 2015. Continuing the momentum generated from last year 足 2016 will be a great year to experience. As some of you know first hand many facets of our Lodge are constantly monitored in an effort to keep us up to date. After having dealt with the Trestleboard in its former format for many years it was one of those facets decided upon to be updated. For 2016 the Trestleboard will feature an interesting or applicable excerpt and explanation of a portion of our bylaws, Masonic Etiquette, Code or a design from the Worshipful Master. This may be successful or it may fall flat on its face but nevertheless we are going to try it out for size. Our goa~ is to help spread Masonic light and some of the ways we think are most pertinent are the rules by which our fraternity operates; locally, statewide, nationally and internationally. As is also customary this venue will also be used to disseminate important information, updates and events as the year progresses. The Trestleboard is for you. It is important that it be in an acceptable and pleasing format as well as provide the type of information our membership desire. If there is an area of interest that you wish to be addressed please feel free to offer up your thoughts, or better yet a well-researched article the Brethren can enjoy. My first thoughts are always to ~tilize
the resources and skills our membership exhibit and possess first. As members of the the fraternity WE are the best resource available. Looking forward to an exemplary year, Upon the Square, Dennis G. Tyson Worshipful Master
