               Greatest gift to veterans

We've already begun filling seats for the April 15 and April 22 flights to the World War II Memorial – and we need your referrals for veterans and volunteer guardians.

Right now, all Masons who are World War II veterans have priority - but after March 31 we'll open the April flights to all World War II veterans. If we don't have your referrals by then, many deserving brothers may miss out on the trip of a lifetime. Additional flights will be scheduled in May, but it’s important that you submit referrals early.

Give referrals to your lodge secretary, unless your lodge has designated another officer as the Operation Greatest Gift point of contact. Refer:

  • Masons who are World War II veterans who would like to be considered for a trip to the Memorial
  • Masons or non-Masons who are over 18 and interested in accompanying a trip as a volunteer guardian

Secretaries: It's important that you provide the following information for each member referral: full member name, Member ID, address, and phone number.

Send referrals to Joyce Hahn, Foundation programs coordinator, by e-mail to jhahn@freemason.org; by mail to 1111 California St., San Francisco, CA 94108; or by phone at 415/292-9139.

Questions? Contact jhahn@freemason.org.

 

                 Masons of California on Facebook

The official Facebook page for the Masons of California is intended as a fun, informal place for members and friends of the fraternity to interact with each other and Grand Lodge. Look for videos, photos, and the latest buzz about the fraternity.

Spread the word to your lodge, your family, and your friends. We hope you’ll become a fan, and be an active part of the online community.

          Edwin Markham, the California poet, has said that “ the three needs of man are Bread, Beauty, and Brotherhood.”
Bread stands for the satisfaction of the physical needs of man.   Beauty is that combination of form and color and tone to which man turns to satisfy the aesthetic nature in him. 
   Brotherhood is that companionship which a human being craves when he comes to a full realization through his work in ministering to his physical and aesthetic needs that we are descended from the One Almighty Parent and are members of the same family.
     It is fitting that reference should be made to these things in writing a history of this lodge, for we must consider that it was the seeking of a means of livelihood amid pleasant surroundings that prompted the original thirteen charter members of this lodge to settle in the Beautiful Valley of Heart’s Delight.
