Our Quarterly stated meeting will be next Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 7:30 pm at:
Gateway Lodge
500 East Imperial Highway
Brea, CA 92821-5564
The topic of the evening will be, How are we, as Masons, relevant in these changing times? And who are we going to be relevant to–our members, other lodges, and/or our communities. Worshipful Bob McNamara will lead the discussion using an article published by Ed Halpaus, the education officer of the Minnesota Grand Lodge. The article was published in his “More Light” weekly release on July 27, 2009, #235 entitled:
THE LOST WORD RE-DISCOVERED
Delivered by Dr. Gary D. Colby Union Station, Washington, DC May 29, 1995

Quarterly Meeting Recap and New Research Papers
We had a well-attended stated meeting on May 20th, 2009. Worshipful Bob McNamara sat in the east and opened and closed the lodge in due form. We handled our normal business and welcomed our newest member into the lodge. After closing, we retired to the dining room to enjoy pie, cupcakes and coffee. Worshipful Richard Mullard presented his paper on the Mayo Brothers which was followed by open discussion.

We have also included a research paper written by brother Burton N. Brin, P.M. which originally appeared in the OC Research Lodge Newsletter in February, 1997. This is an extremely well written account of the life of John Wycliffe who was responsible for the first English translation of the Book of Holy Writings.
