Brethren, We are now in “high summer” and the Lodge is also on a ”high”. After several years of discussion and deliberations we have, at last, let a contract for the remodeling of the main bathroom facilities. The details of the remodeling are given in the article in this trestleboard written by Bro. David Jones P.M., President of the Hall Association. The main construction activity will take place during July and August and our activities during this period will need to be adjusted to suit - but it is in a worthy cause. We expect the project to be completed by the end of August and the lodge to be fully functional again by September 7th, for our September Stated Meeting. The arrangements for July and August Stated Meet-ings and other ritual requirements during the con-struction period are covered in the Senior Warden’s article. Because of the remodel we are unable to host any ladies events during the summer. I trust you will think it worth it in the end. After the construction, September will be a busy month as we catch up with our normal activities. One date I urge you to note on your calendars is Friday, September 10th when we will be honoring Bro. David Jones P.M. with a Hiram Award. David has not only served as Treasurer of the Lodge and President of the Hall Association but regularly assists the Officer’s line on degree practice nights. Thank you all for your support of your Lodge. Fraternally, A. David Goodman |

Child ID Program
August 7th and 8th (Saturday & Sunday) at Burlingame Artz, Burlingame Avenue
(Formerly Burlingame Art & Jazz Festival) We had a successful ID program in June and we will do it all again, adding to the number of local children and families who benefit from this community service. Each year approximately 725,000 children are reported missing in the United States. The Child ID program gives parents the peace of mind that they are prepared for the unthinkable. Masons of California provides free fingerprinting and photo identification for children of all ages. Parents also receive an identification sheet that includes space to record a child's height, weight, eye and hair color, and distinguishing marks. This sheet will be extremely valuable to authorities if a child ever becomes missing or abducted. The entire process takes only a minute and no information is ever recorded on the computer equipment. Since the program began in 1998, we have provided ID documentation for more than 800,000 California children. August 7th and 8th at Burlingame Artz Festival, Burlingame Avenue Sign up online at: http://www.burlingamemasoniclodge.org/Pages/Announcements.html |

Brethren, After years of debate, deliberation and discussion, the Hall Association has decided to renovate, and remodel the bathrooms located on the 2nd floor of the lodge building. We anticipate that demolition will start sometime around June 21 and the project should be completed in late August. I believe that we will still have one functional bathroom on the 3rd floor during the renovation. But there will be pe-riods when even that bathroom is out of service. I would urge members to consider the lack of facili-ties before visiting the Lodge. Fraternally, |
