The 43rd annual deep pit barbecue hosted by Yucaipa Fellowship Lodge No. 668 was a huge success. In the weeks leading up to the BBQ they manned the Child I.D. booth at the local Farmer's Market. In anticipation of  having a large crowd, they completed a revovation of the Lodge by painting the exterior, resurfacing and restriping the parking lot. About 250 people were served with the help of the Rainbow Girls and DeMolay boys, and children’s games were provided along with a disc jockey playing some oldies. This was an event that certainly bonded the members, families, and youth groups together.

Last Tuesday, 9-11-12, Fellowship Lodge No. 668 raised Brother Don Evans to the sublime degree of Master Mason with many of his brethren present on the sidelines. After the Secretary's presentation of the gift of The Holy Writings from his lodge brethren, and Lodge having been closed in due form, many brethren gathered for a lodge photo and later proceeded to the dining room for refreshments where Brother Ryan's wife and children were waiting to congratulate him.

The Lodge officers provided a well-practiced presentation of the third degree with the assistance of a few brethren from Redlands Lodge No. 300, Coachella Lodge No. 476, and Moreno Valley Lodge No. 804.  Worshipful Snyder gave the Master's Lecture. Then, after the charge was delivered by Worshipful Raul Tito of Redlands Lodge, Worshipful Sean Baldwin, Master, congratulated and welcomed our brother into the Fraternity and Fellowship Lodge.
