This is an excellent opportunity to share Masonic Fellowship as we celebrate the birthday of our nation.

So please invite all your family and friends to join us on this festive occasion.

Date: Sunday, July 4th, 2010
Time: 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM
Location: Sunset Lodge, 1720 Ocean Park Blvd., Santa Monica CA
This event is open to the public

The goal of this program is to act as an extension of the Grand Lodge Leadership Retreats. Participants in the program will meet with our Officers Coach on a regular basis to study the Lodge Bylaws, the California Masonic Code, our initiatory ritual, lodge budget and finances, organization of social programs and membership development in our lodge. In addition, those participating in the program will be given the chance to learn skills in presiding over a Stated Meeting.

The goal of the program is to better prepare candidates for election and advancement to the progressive line as an elected officer, in order that their year as Master of Sunset Lodge can be as pleasant as possible for them, as well as to ensure that our lodge benefits from the highest levels of competency in leadership.

To qualify for this program, you need to be a Master Mason of Sunset Lodge in good standing, and have successfully delivered your 3rd Degree Proficiency.

Over the past year, Sunset Lodge has been blessed with a tremendous growth in membership.  As a result, we have lots of new members who may still be getting to know our lodge and fraternity.  This session will provide a look at our ritual and protocols in the lodge, the workings of our Grand Lodge, Masonic Jurisprudence and some of our lodge traditions.

If you would like to learn more about or lodge or Freemasonry in general, please plan on attending.

Once again, Sunset Lodge #369 will be teaming up with Group 160 N-Trak, a local N-Scale model railway club to bring the sights and sounds of model trains to our lodge.  This even is very popular with our local community, as well as train enthusiasts.

Group 160 is a local N-Scale model railway club, and they will be constructing a layout that will fill our dining area.  N-Scale is growing rapidly in popularity, due to it’s smaller size allowing for a long more railroad in a smaller area.  The scale ration of N-scale is 1:160, and it derives its name due to the fact that the tracks are set 9 millimeters apart, and the word for 9 in almost every language begins with the letter “n”.

Please join us for a day of fun at our lodge.
