From the East

Brethren,

This will be my last message to you as the Master of the Lodge.  This year is almost over, and the Lodge is preparing itself to begin a new year with a new set of Officers.  In November, my good friend, Worshipful Ralph Zenger, PM, was elected to serve the snsuing Masonic year as the Master of Glendale Lodge No. 368.  The Lodge also elected Brother Ralph Santos as our Senior Warden, Brother Richard Bisetti as our Junior Warden, Worshipful Hamlet Khatcherican as our Treasurer, and Worshipful Lawrence Mountjoy as our Secretary.

The Installation of the next year's officers will be held on Saturday, January 12, 2008.  The Annual Installation, as you all know is one of the most important activities of the Lodge, and the program will be more successful if you support it with your attendance.  Please join me on that day in supporting our Lodge and the 2008 Officers.

I would like to take this opportunity to offier my heartfelt thanks to all of the officers and members of the Lodge who supported the Lodge during 2007.  The Lodge enjoyed the support and participation of many of our members and officers during our Degree nights and special events.   Thanks to your help and support, we had successful events such as our Hiram Award, Public School Ceremony, Police Officers and Firefighters Night, Breakfast, Barbeque and the Dinner Dance.  If I want to list the names of all those who helped me and the Lodge, then we need to add pages to our Trestleboard.  I sincerely thank all of you and ask you to continue to support your Lodge and its Officers.

Finally, let me wish a wonderful Holiday season to all of you, your family and your friends.  I hope Christmas will bring joy, Hanukah will bring peace, and the New Year will bring success and health to all of us!

Fraternally yours,

Narbeh Bagdasarian, PM
Master
