The Master's Message
April 2025
Greetings from the East,
I wish you all a very joyous and Happy Easter and Passover! Our lodge had a great March with our famous Pancake Breakfast in support of our Youth Orders; we also enjoyed exceptional Masonic education from Past Grand Bible Bearer, WB Tuoc Pham. It was a pleasure to be joined by our friends and family, including brothers from surrounding lodges. Thanks to everyone who worked hard and showed support in making these events a success!
Reseda Lodge will also be celebrating her 97th year of bringing brotherly love and Masonic light to our community. Come join us on April 10th at Lulu’s Restaurant, and enjoy your meal in the company of friends, family and loved ones! Our officers will continue to hone our ritual, and several will attend the Masters and Wardens Retreat to prepare for our dear lodge’s future.
We will also be co-hosting a dinner with all the lodges of Van Nuys Masonic Center in honor of our First Responders, in gratitude of their heroic actions during January's fires.
We look forward to seeing you! Our lodge is made better with your presence, brotherly warmth, enthusiasm and good will. Come join us as we celebrate the beauties of Masonry in Reseda Lodge!
Cordially and Fraternally,
Daniel Rivera, PM
Master, Reseda No. 666

From the West
We’re off and running into baseball season and the Dodger’s are up 4 and 0 for the first time since 1981. This means it’s time for Masons4Mitts. Just enter Masons4Mitts, click donate, and search for North West Beach Bums (that’s us) Dodger’s. You can then donate what you want to your heart’s content. This is a GREAT way to get kids into youth baseball.
Worshipful Paul Russell introduced this program to us and quite a lot of us have been giving to this GREAT event ever since. It’s amazing how many at-risk youth have gone through this program and gone on to be successful in life. See y’all at Lodge.
Upon the Level,
Glen Moore
Senior Warden

From the Secretary's Desk
Happy Spring, Reseda Lodge. With that being said I am reporting very sad news. Our Past Treasurer, Wor. Jim Jarnagin, is seriously ill. He is a great member of our lodge, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
As I mentioned last month, Grand Lodge has sent out the final dues notices to those who may not have paid yet. I want to thank all of you that have paid your dues.
Have a great spring.
Fraternally,
Chris Snyder
Secretary
