Frank Lee – AGL Division 8

On Saturday, September 1, 2012, Green Valley Assembly #220 held a reception for their Grand Officer, Nicole Patterson, Member of the Grand Executive Committee, California Flag Bearer, and Representative to Italy and Michigan. The podium in the east was beautifully decorated with a cascading rainbow of tulle, with a large golden image of the State of California resting on the rainbow.  The large audience included not only many present and past Rainbow Grand Officers, Rainbow Girls from other Assemblies, many past and present Mother Advisor’s and board members from other Assemblies, and two Assistant Grand Lecturer’s from the Grand Lodge of California. The honored member entered and was escorted through an arch of honor from the members of her assembly. The Rainbow and Christian flag were presented, along with the California flag, the Italy flag and the Michigan flag that also had tributes given to them. Presentations included a lot of laughter and Nicole received an exquisite quilt rack that was made by her grandfather in Texas, and a beautiful quilt which had quilt squares from the grand officers, members of her assembly and advisory board. Congratulations are also in order to Fellowship Lodge #668, for the obvious care they have taken in the maintenance of their Lodge. The outside of the building has recently received a new coat of paint, the square and compass are gleaming in the afternoon sun with its gold background and the parking lot was resurfaced and new parking lines painted. The building made a very impressive statement. Great job Green Valley Assembly!  Your pride for your Assembly and your Grand Officer shined brighter than the afternoon desert sun.

Fellowship Lodge #668, in Yucaipa, has been in the midst of an extensive rebirth.  From the Lodge building to their activities, they have been making big changes.  They have recently painted the outside of the building, resurfaced and marked the parking lot and they have refurbished their Masonic emblem on the outside of the building.

The Lodge has also been working on having more exposure in the community.  They are currently manning a child ID booth every Friday evening at the Yucaipa Market Night, a local community event that is put on by the Yucaipa Chamber of Commerce August thru October.  They started several Fridays ago and will continue well into September, and maybe even October.  The City of Yucaipa loves the Masons' presence.

Come by, see the new look of the Lodge and visit them for a degree.
