April Stated Meeting - Monday, April 8th

Dinner @ 5:30 pm - Stated Meeting @ 6:30 pm

Greetings Brethren,

Spring, my favorite time of the year. A symbolic time of rebirth and growth. Spring reawakens us and everything surrounding us while bringing everything back to life. A time for new beginnings. One of my favorite things about Spokane and the main reason I fell in love with this city is how close and easily accessible the great outdoors are. We are so lucky to live right in the middle of one of the most beautiful landscapes on earth. Rivers, lakes, mountains, camping, fishing, and reconnecting with nature. Gotta love it!

On March 18th Manito Lodge passed our brother David Layne to the degree of Fellowcraft. Big shout out and congratulations to David for being so solid. A very special thank you to Worshipful Brother Jeff Galpin and the conferring team for taking care of business.

Recently we held a meeting regarding our Masonic Charities and where we will be funding the money this year, which will be discussed at the next stated meeting. Charity is one of the single most important reasons for doing what we do and I am so proud of this lodge and every Brother for taking ownership and exercising love for the craft.

Our next stated meeting on April 8th we are being visited by Most Worshipful Brother Steve Martin, Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Washington. We will also be having Worshipful Brother Lucas Walsh from Spokane Lodge No. 34 delivering a lecture for education that evening as well so don’t miss out!

For those who cannot intend, you may catch the business and education portions of our meeting by logging into our Zoom meeting. Our credentials are:

As always, we will be serving dinner at 5:30pm and the gavel strikes at 6:30pm. Hope to see you all in person very soon!

Fraternitas et Pax,

Marshall Lichtenwaldt, Worshipful Master
