March 2023
In ancient Roman times, the month of March was called Mars, after the Roman god of war. If March roars in like a lion, does it go out like a lamb, or vice versa? Like the weather, many things in life are unpredictable. During our February stated meeting dinner, we heard Illustrious John Schneidmiller, 33°, say that our deadline for vacating our current building is July 31, 2023. Unlike weather predictability, this stone has been cast. Therefore, like the Boy Scout motto, we all need to be prepared. Every organization, lodge, Language Center, and anyone who has anything in the current building needs to be making moving plans.
On Saturday, March 25 th , at 8:00 AM, please join me for some coffee, juice, and donuts in Square & Compass Room at the San Diego Scottish Rite Masonic Center. Last year’s “Coffee and Donuts with the Venerable Master” had a great turnout with several Scottish Rite Masons, Blue Lodge Masons, and even a couple of non-Masons attending. This is a social and casual dress event (shorts and flip/flops okay). Put on your Masonic thinking caps and we can discuss whatever is allowed to be discussed regarding Masonry among Brothers and friends - especially fun, food, and fellowship.
Stay tuned, stay active, and stay aware of what is happening here at OUR San Diego Scottish Rite Valley.
