The Master's Message
April 2026

 

Greetings from the East,

We have the Lodge’s 98th Birthday coming up. We’re going to celebrate it on Thursday April 30th . Due to the Van Nuys Masonic Center kitchen being closed down the menu has changed. We will have a Taco Truck catering this event. Tacos, Quesadillas, Mulitas. Your choice of three meats or none, along with rice, beans, salsa, and flavored drinks. Price $20 per person. Family, friends and guests are all welcome. We will also be having a talent show following dinner. If you can play a musical instrument, sing, do a short skit, stand-up comic, or any kind of performance that would be great. Please see Edmond Abramyan or Frank Capurro as they will be doing the scheduling. Worshipful Eric Sharp has agreed to MC for us. That’s an honor in itself. I will have a couple of amps, mics and a keyboard set up for anyone to use. Let’s everyone get together and make this a Great Lodge Birthday Celebration.

709th District Spring Event (Van Nuys Lodge, Home Lodge, CFS Lodge & Reseda Lodge) Easter Egg Hunt. Saturday April 4th, Noon to 4PM. BBQ, games, prizes, jumpers and more. All members and friends welcome. Bring the kids, the more the merrier. Van Nuys Masonic Center.

The Officers have been diligently practicing the second degree this past month. They will continue working on the 2nd degree April 9th, 16th, and 23rd .

Be sure to see the Events Schedule.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Stated Meeting on April 2nd, dinner by Jersey Mike's

Cordially and Fraternally on the Square,

Glen O. Moore
Master, Reseda No. 666

 



From the West


Brethren. I hope you had a great month this past March. We unfortunately had to cancel our pancake breakfast. We apologize for the inconvenience. That being said, I am looking forward to this coming month, where we will have more second degree practices in preparation for advancing brothers, as well as the Lodge Birthday. Have a great Easter and Passover!


Upon the Level,
 
Jose Valdivia
Senior Warden

 



From the South 


Brothers, as the days become longer and the world around us comes into full bloom, let us take it as a reminder of the importance of nurturing growth, not only in our lodge as a whole, but also in ourselves as individuals. Take this month to renew ourselves in meaningful degree work and in our personal needs.

Seek further light, remain committed to your duties inside and outside the lodge, and support one another in Brotherly Love. Continue building upon the strong foundation of our lodge. I’ll see you in lodge!

 

By the Plumb,

Hunter Goodin
Junior Warden

 


From the Secretary's Desk


Brethren, April is upon us. If you have not paid your dues, please try and do so. Also a quick reminder, if you receive a dues notice from Grand Lodge and you have paid your dues please disregard.

Stay cool, even though we are not in the summer season yet.

Fraternally,

Chris Snyder 
Secretary

“How then is the mind to begin a course of reasoning which is not based on sensuous perceptions and which proceeds from causes to effects rather than the reverse? One way is open to us which, though well known, is seldom used to this purpose. It is that of the study of pure mathematics, especially of pure geometry. Mathematics is the only exact science, the only one of the so-called sciences which is not based on sensuous perceptions. None of the problems in plane geometry can be proven to the senses; the proofs exist in the mind. Inasmuch as the efforts of the mind have been to experience through the senses, it has applied mathematics to the senses also. Nevertheless, mathematics is the science of the mind. All mathematical theories are seen, worked out and proven to the mind, then only are they applied to the senses.”

Harold W. Percival, "Consciousness through Knowledge." (The Word, 1917)
