I had the pleasure to attend the deep pit bar-b-que at Fontana Lodge, after the Officer’s School of Instruction in Palm Springs, on Saturday, September 15th. The food was delicious and I again complemented them on the updating they have done to their Lodge. Here are a few pictures of the new floor they have installed in their Lodge room.

Over the past year, the familiar face of Evergreen Masonic Center has been under-going a significant perking up. Just drive in and you will see that the grounds are looking the best they have in years. The sign in the entry-drive got fresh letters and a coat of paint and the parking lot got a fresh blacktop, and the building has a fresh coat of paint . As you approach the front door you will see that the big beams that had been coming apart at the seams have been repaired and the weather-beaten front doors are all freshly …
