Western Star Lodge #2, F & AM

We recently lost our brother and inspector for the 206th Masonic District (W. Ronald L. Craddock, P.M.) to pancreatic cancer. His memorial service will be held June 8 at the Veterans’ Cemetery in Igo. There will be a celebration of life following at Mercy Oaks at 6 p.m.

The Past Masters will be putting on a third degree for Brother Charles T. Roberts on May 29 at 7:30 p.m. There will be a dinner preceding at 6:30 p.m.

Our stated meetings remain the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. with a dinner preceding at 6:30. We will have one more all-you-can-stand breakfast on June 9 before pausing for the summer.

We’re pleased to report that our annual Yuletime donations were a success. In partnership with Sunset Market, we were able to purchase turkeys at cost for each family (roughly $100 total). In addition, we donated nearly $300 of clothes to needy children in our community–43 kids in 26 families each received new socks (6 per child or nearly 258 pair altogether) and are invited to dine gratis at a future AYCS breakfast. Warm feet and full bellies, what could be better? 

We hope you all have a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukah, and whatever holiday you might celebrate. Oh yeah, and a happy new year!

The November All You Can Stand Breakfast will be held at Western Star Hall in Shasta, CA on Saturday, November 10. As usual, we’ll be serving biscuits and gravy, pancakes, eggs, sausage, coffee, and orange juice from 7:30 am until 11:30 am. As always, the public is encouraged to attend. Adults $7.00, children $4.00
