costumes (No Hats). I feel like my "sun is

setting" as lodge master. The year is going by so quickly I can hardly keep up. Only a few more stat-ed meeting left with me in the East. The holidays are quickly approaching us and that will only make time seem even shorter. Please be sure to start making your reservations for our Lodge Thanksgiv-ing Dinner. This year it will be on November 8th from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. Also I would like to get an early start on reservations for our December Stated Meeting Dinner. It will be important to list exactly who is attending to assist me for planning purposes. When you call or email the Lodge Secretary give the name of all guests and especially the age of any children. Kerry, Olivia and I are looking forward to seeing you this Holiday season. Fraternally,

Jahmal R. Neff Master

Greeting Brethren and Families,

I hope that you have all

enjoyed your summer and that we actually get a change in seasons to en-joy some cooler weather for the rest of the year. I'm looking forward to making the trip with the other pillars up to San Francisco for annual com-munications, to join rep-resentatives from lodge member’s state wide, to ballot on our proposed legislation changes. I'm still getting used to what I view as our biggest change in recent years which is being able to en-joy the company of our Entered Apprentices in our meetings. I will also be able to see Worshipful Don Taylor perform his duties as Grand Tiler one last time. I want to thank Worshipful John Gowen, Worshipful Terry Allison, Steve Bumgarner and Worshipful Mike Young(2014 Hiram Awardee) and his Lady Billi for all of their hard work and assis-tance in executing a spe-cial evening to celebrate Worshipful Don Taylor's retirement. I was unable

to attend the event due to surgery, but heard it was an enjoyable and well attended night and most importantly Wor-shipful Taylor approved.

We currently have no upcoming degrees sched-uled for October, but have brethren working on proficiencies and we have recently given out a few applications to receive the degrees of masonry in our lodge. It’s been a pleas-ure to meet all of the new candidates that continue to knock on our doors this year. There has been a steady flow of website inquiries as well as gen-tlemen stopping by the lodge to see what we are all about. As a district we will participate in our an-nual 913th Masonic Dis-trict 3rd degree. This year it will be on Tuesday, Oc-tober 21, 2014 at Black Mountain Lodge. All Mas-ter Mason are welcome to attend. The district de-gree has enjoyed a very large turnout in the past. Our very own Brother Tommy Dones received last year’s conferral.

For our October stat-ed meeting dress code is Halloween themed

Well, do you still not believe in global warming? I grew up in San Diego and I have never witness the kind of weather we have had so far in September like we have had this month. Oh sure it would get hot for a week or so in September back in the 60’s and 70’s but never with this kind of humidity. As I write this there is another tropi-cal storm that could turn into a hurricane off the coast of Baja California. Let’s hope “Polo” wants to go to Hawaii for a va-cation and stays out of South-ern California. Coming up the pillars and a past master will be attending the Grand Lodge Communication the second

weekend in October. Please take a moment to review the proposed legislation and let me know what your feelings are. As Senior Warden I am represent-ing Unity lodge and my opinion should fall in line with just that, a representation of what the brethren at Unity want. Natural-ly my own personal opinion will be an influence on how I vote but I do want to represent the lodge as well. You can let me know at the next stated meet-ing or send me an email swarden@unitylodge632.com or give me a call at (619) 602-9730. Finally, I still believe we need to provide an incentive to our brothers to take that 4 year journey to the East and I be-

lieve rewarding the Master for his 4 years of dedication to our lodge in the form of a lifetime membership is great way to do it. No one has come to me with a better idea or even a different idea. Please support me on this issue as I plan to put the mo-tion on the floor at the October Stated Meeting. See you then! Sincerely and Fraternally,

Steven H. Bumgarner Senior Warden

to eat? So without further a due, October's stated meeting

will be Mexican food. Enchila-

das, fajitas, rice and beans. After that stated meeting, we

will start getting into the holi-day menus; ham, turkey and

stuffing. I hope you are all looking forward to that, I

know I am.

Fraternally,

Rico Castelo Jr Warden

The summer is ending and the holiday season will soon be

upon us. This years has gone

by quickly for me, I assume it has gone by quickly for many

of you. I hope it has been a good year so far. Next year I

will move into the Senior War-den roll where I will have even

more interactions with the

brethren and there family. I try to keep my articles sim-

ple and short, not because I'm lazy, but because everyone

seems to always have the same

question for me, what is there
