Nov 2019

El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium

552 N. 40th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85008 Cocktails at 6:00 pm, dinner at 7:00 PM.

I am extending an invitation to all Arizona Masons, Sojourners, Masonic men’s and lady’s appendant and concordant bodies, their family and friends. This year we are having our Christmas party at the El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium. This event has grown from a group of participants able to fit in the Grand Lodge office building to a group of 200 plus that required a ballroom at a local resort. Each year the Christmas Party has been a big success and this year we expect it to be even bigger. This year’s party will include a dinner provided by Robert’s Catering, Robert is 5-star caterer, and promises to be well worth the price. We are also planning on having a Gong Show so sign up to showcase your talent- musical, comical, magical, or whatever your specialty is. It will all be in good fun. We will also be raffling prizes from businesses and services around the Phoenix area like a round of golf, a weekend at a local resort, a day at the spa and other such prizes. The proceeds from this event are intended to be donated to our Masonic Youth Groups. Tickets The price for the 2019 Christmas Party is $45 per person, plus a $2.00 handling fee, via PayPal, the link being located on the Grand Lodge website. Tickets may also be purchased at the Grand Lodge offices, 2723 W. Northern Ave. Phoenix, AZ 85051-6624 (602-252-1924). Should you choose to buy tickets from your Assistant Grand Secretary at the Grand Lodge Offices, the price is $50, $2 handling fee applies. Time and Place El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium, 552 N. 40th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85008. No host cocktails at 6:00 pm, dinner at 7:00 PM. 7 December 2019 Menu Roasted New York Strip Loin.

Arizona DeMolay is launching two very exciting programs that began in July that involve recognizing Senior

DeMolay by presenting service pins and beginning an Alumni Association.

Along with recognizing past DeMolay, we are looking for our State Officers and State staff to visit Lodges to

provide Senior DeMolay with their service pins recognizing those members who have served as DeMolay for 25,

50, and 75 years.

Let me know if you have any questions. I am looking forward to actively partnering with you to feature DeMolay

monthly in upcoming issues. Please feel free to contact me with any information, questions or concerns.

Fraternally,

Steve Johnston - State Chapter Advisor

Would you like to remember a Masonic Family member, member of your lodge, or

a notable Mason?

Changes to the Constitution and Statutes of the Grand Lodge of Arizona allow you to purchase a Memorial Life

Membership for a deceased member of your lodge who was in good standing at the time of his death. The fee for

this membership is calculated at ten (10) times the amount of the yearly dues of the lodge. The deceased

brother’s name will remain on the lodge rolls as a perpetual member, and the funds from the purchase will

remain in the lodge Perpetual Membership fund and will count toward the annual distribution of funds from the

Perpetual Membership fund at the end of the calendar year.

The Joy Bus is a Not for Profit organization whose sole purpose is to relieve the daily struggles of homebound cancer patients with a fresh Chef Inspired meal and a friendly face. Our vision is to elevate the livelihood of our patrons with the joy of culinary sustenance. Founded in 2011 and named in honor of our dear friend Joy who struggled with the painstaking side-effects of cancer, ultimately losing her life to this horrific disease. Joy suffered from cancer in the 4 “L” s (in Joy's words) “Lungs, Liver, Lymphoids and Loveries”. Her drive and determination are inspirational to all those who fight her same battle and if a hot meal and a little compassion can brighten her day then it’s the least we can all do as humans and as a part of a community. Millions of cancer patients are left to fend for themselves during this turning point in their lives. The Joy Bus will relieve the burden put on families during this time by providing healthy meals specified to meet our patron’s needs. The Joy Bus delivers not only quality meals to your doorstep but compassion and a smiling face.

Shoebox Ministry, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit service corporation, located in Arizona. Shoebox was founded in 1988 with a specific goal of meeting the personal hygiene needs people experiencing homelessness and others in need of help. We are the only agency in the greater Phoenix area with an ongoing program that focuses on meeting the hygiene needs of our targeted populations which include people experiencing homelessness, domestic violence victims, abused and neglected children, the working poor, and other people who need but cannot afford hygiene items. In addition to the obvious health benefits of good hygiene, Shoebox believes ongoing access to these items is vital in the journey back to self-sufficiency, healthy living, and human dignity. Good hygiene is necessary for job interviews and societal interaction. Plus, it just feels good to clean, groomed, and smelling good!

We would like to thank Rural Metro Fire San Tan Valley for not only supporting our wonderful city with fire or emergency needs, but for their generous donation to the 2019 One Voice Gala silent auction.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL

Erected in the 1920s and 30s, it soars 333 feet as a beacon of Light and knowledge, educating and inspiring all who visit it. Recognized in 2015 as a National Historic Landmark, the Memorial is one of the most impressive and iconic buildings in the area around our nation’s capital. Our new fundraising endeavor, The Landmark Century Campaign, aims to support a thorough restoration of the Memorial. And we can help! Today, the Memorial is a museum like no other in the world. Everything we do revolves around our vision: “to inspire humanity through education to emulate and promote the virtues, character and vision of George Washington, the Man, the Mason, and Father of our Country.” Open seven days a week, the Memorial offers detailed exhibits and guided tours that teach the general public about George Washington, his life and virtues, and the role that Freemasonry played throughout his life. Further, the Memorial is an important space for the performing arts, social gatherings, public events, and educational seminars. And, of course, it is an active Masonic temple, housing two Craft lodges and regularly hosting visiting lodges from around the country. The Memorial is a central hub connecting Masons to one another, and connecting the Craft to the public, our nation, and our world. For the past decade, the Memorial Association has devoted tremendous energy and resources to the renovation of the Memorial. Major exhibits have been added. Interiors have been repaired and repainted. Lighting has been updated. But the most considerable work is the top-to-bottom restoration of the building itself—the first such renovation since the Memorial was completed nearly a century ago. Beginning at the Memorial’s pyramid level, we have begun a multi-year project to perform all needed structural repairs. Stone by stone, are repointing the mortar and protecting the building from water penetration. When completed, the building will be in better than new condition.

The George Washington Masonic National Memorial stands as the most

distinguished monument to Washington ever build by a

private organization –THE MASONS

Your generous

help is essential in

reaching that goal.

Masonic Trivia

Masonic Trivia: In 1893 Judge Fletcher Doan moved to Arizola, Arizona. In 1895 he was elected district attorney of Pinal County. Before he could take office, a messenger was dispatched to his ranch to notify him to come to Florence, Arizona and take the place of a district attorney who had disappeared to Mexico. He departed Arizola at 4 o'clock on a Monday morning and never returned to spend another night at his ranch. After serving as district attorney, Mr. Doan was appointed district Judge which he held from 1897 to February 12, 1912 when he moved to Douglas, Arizona to practice law with this son, Frank. During his time in Florence, he was very active in Masonry and kept Gila Valley No. 9 F & AM Masonic Lodge alive during some lean years. He served as Master of the Lodge in 1899, 1900, 1902, 1903, and 1905

Masonic Trivia: Arizonians' Answer to the Query: "What's the matter with Kibbey?" THEY SAY HE'S ALL RIGHT! On February 10th, 1905 President Roosevelt sent to the senate the name of Joseph H. Kibbey, attorney general of Arizona. News of the appointment was received in Phoenix and throughout the Territory, A high honor which was not only unsolicited, but for a time refused! Judge Kibbey had recently formed the law firm of Kibbey, Bennett, & Bennett and was worried that being Governor of the Territory would take away from his time there. Governor Kibbey was a very active Mason, being a Charter member and serving as the Fourth Master of Gila Valley No. 9 F & AM Masonic Lodge in 1893.
