Brethren this year has started off strong and we are once again settling into our new positions and already preparing for next year’s line up. We have lots of practices coming up with hopefully a few degrees also. Please make sure
You are practicing your ritual at home so we can present it in Lodge during practice. If any member or officer needs helps learning their parts please contact me or Worshipful Kirt our Senior Warden to assign you a coach.
The Stated Meeting dinner for February will also be our annual Sweethearts - Valentines Day Dinner. If you know a Lodge Sweetheart who would like to attend, please let Worshipful Ryan know.
Don’t forget that our Rainbow Girls will be holding their Annual Pancake Breakfast on February 10th from 8:00 A.M. to Noon at the Oxnard Masonic Center. See the flyer later in the Trestleboard.
Our Annual Roll Call Dinner and Meeting will be on February 21st so come on out and say hello to your Brothers that you might not have seen since last year. Reservations are a must. They can be made and paid for in the same way as the Stated Meeting dinner.

Some of our senior members may even be sitting in your lodge room. In celebration of this milestone Southern California DeMolay is excited to honor the 100 years by putting together 3 Honorary Degrees for the ma-sons of Southern California. You have the opportunity to witness both the 1st and 2nd degree of DeMolay. This will give you a chance to see De-Molay though the eyes of a young man who is just joining our ranks. It is an amazing experience that you will never forget. We would like to invite you to join us for these degrees and watch as the young men from Southern California DeMolay perform the ritual work that they all take pride in.

The proceeds from these degrees will help support the membership program for Southern California DeMolay. This will help ensure that our order is around for many more years to come. Helping more young men have the opportuni-ty to learn more about our fraternity. After witnessing both degrees there will be a performance of the ceremony of light. You will also receive a challenge coin and certificate to commemorate the day. Your significant other is wel-come to join us also for this event.
DeMolay International Celebrates its Centennial In June 2018, DeMolay International entered its centennial year, celebrating 100 years of positive and moral in-fluence for young men in their formative years. Based on the seven cardinal virtues of filial love, reverence, courtesy, comradeship, fidelity, cleanness and patriotism, membership in DeMolay provides a safe, worthwhile program where young men may excel into the successful leaders of the next generation. Founded in Kansas City, Missouri in 1919, DeMolay International (formerly the DeMolay Council and the Order of DeMolay) enriches the lives of its members by providing a fun-filled program which develops key life skills such as public speaking, budgeting, fundraising, collaboration and event planning. Under the mentorship of certified adult vol-unteers, every DeMolay member is encouraged to develop at his own pace, making his own unique DeMolay experi-ence. DeMolay counts among its alumni a multitude of gentlemen who transformed the lessons and examples from their DeMolay experience into the foundation for their success in their personal or professional lives. A select few are enshrined in our International Hall of Fame. While the DeMolay International centennial celebration will be held in June 2019, these coming months are dedi-
cated to the enhanced promotion of the organization’s tenets and influence as a way to entice a new generation of youth to seek leadership opportunities such as those offered through the DeMolay program. About DeMolay DeMolay International is a community-based organization for young men, ages 12 to 21. DeMolay members learn life skills, responsibility and cooperation by working together to plan and carry out their customized program of social, sports and community service activities. Adult volunteers act as role models and advisors. Since 1919, DeMolay In-ternational has encouraged more than a million young men to become leaders of character, including many success-ful businessmen, public servants, entertainers and athletes.
