I would like to thank Bros. Michael Guarnera and Antonello Stornelli for hosting the brethren, friends and family of Reseda Lodge in their beautiful home, and sharing their wonderful food, friendship and hospitality with us. We deeply appreciate you!

I am sad to share that our Worshipful Master is now in hospice and unable to attend our meetings while battling grave illness. Our first duty as friends and brothers is to surround Wor. Glen and his family with our affection and prayers. I thank Bro. Chris Snyder and all the brethren who have gone above and beyond in support and assistance of our dear WB. Glen.
 

During his absence and in accordance with California Masonic Code §805.210, I will endeavor to discharge the responsibilities entrusted to the Senior Warden with prudence, fidelity, and due regard for the plans and intentions established by Wor. Glen for the year. Our Stated Meetings will be conducted, candidates will be instructed, our fellowship will be maintained, and qualifications for advanced stations will continue.

We at Reseda Lodge will continue forward, as our Worshipful Master would want us to do. Our Worshipful Master entrusted this Lodge to a line of officers and brethren capable of doing the work. We honor him best by doing precisely that.
 

I ask each officer and brother to give a little more of himself during the months ahead. Attend when you can. Assist where you see a need. Support one another. Reach out to brethren who have been absent. Above all, remember and pray for our Worshipful Brother in the East, whom circumstances prevent from being here among us.

May the Great Architect of the Universe sustain our Worshipful Master Glen and his family, grant them peace and strength, and guide Reseda Lodge as we continue the labor solemnly entrusted to our hands.
 

Upon the Level,

September brings a time of transition and reflection for our lodge. While Worshipful Glen is being cared for in hospice, our thoughts, prayers, and support remain with him and his family during this difficult time. I want to especially thank Bro. Chris Snyder for being of assistance to our Worshipful Master. In Wor. Glen’s absence, all of the officers have begun preparing for and carrying out their advanced stations. As Wardens, Bro. Jose Valdivia and I have taken on the responsibility of helping to care for the lodge and ensure that its work continues. I am grateful for the dedication and support of all the officers and brethren who have stepped forward during this time.

While this is certainly a challenging period for our lodge, it is also a reminder of the strength of our fraternity and the bonds that unite us as Brothers. Let us continue to support one another, remain steadfast in our obligations, and carry on the work of the lodge with the same spirit of brotherly love, relief, and truth that has always guided us.
