The Los Angeles Masonic Service Bureau had their annual breakfast at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport Hotel on March 4, 2012. The Masonic Service Bureau was formed for the primary purpose of properly relieving the distress of Masons, who are members of Lodges in other areas of the State or members of Lodges in others states, that may need assistant while residing or visiting in the area of the Service Bureau. Additionally, they arrange for and conduct funerals for such Masons, visit sick sojourning Masons, operate a clearing house as to applicants for membership in local Lodges, make special investigations for Lodges when requested, and conduct other Masonic service activities that the Grand Lodge may direct in California.
This annual breakfast honored the Grand Master of Masons in California, The Most Worshipful Frank Loui. Congratulations to Michael Bear, A. Sherman Ostrom and, Jack McEnterfer AGL for Division 7 conducted an impressive program. Past Grand Master, R. Stephen Doan presented the Grand Master. There were many other Past Grand Masters also in attendance. There appeared to be over 500 Masons present, with Temescal-Palms Lodge being well represented, having brought two potential candidates and enough Brothers to fill two tables.
The Grand Master gave an inspiring message about his project for the year, “Raising A Reader”. We even had a little fun with everyone present singing “Happy Birthday” to the Junior Grand Warden, Russ Charvonia
