Thank you to everyone who supported this fundraising event. We now have the plaque on the wall to show the world who helped this project.

We still have a few more names to get on a plaque to finish off the names to this project but this is the most of them at this moment.

There are still tiles for donation if anyone wants to get there name on the next plaque. Still spots to fill. It’s $20 a tile. Either let a Brother know at Sandoval Lodge or private message WB Tyler McKenzie if you are interested as this is a part of our history and this is our 50 year anniversary this year (2024) for our lodge. You can put your name or anyone’s name on the plaque even your lodge name can go on the plaque.

Have a blessed day and happy holidays.

Behold how good and how pleasant it is for Brethren to dwell together in unity. Psalms 133:1-3

Tonight was an amazing evening with Brethren, Friend’s and family. We all showed up in something Masonic to give a presence in the public that we Freemasons exist. We had dinner and some drinks at Steel Bender Brewery on 2nd street just south of Paseo Del Norte in Albuquerque.

We had one prospect show up as well as a Brother from New York showed up too.

We all enjoyed our time and also held a Turtle degree. Where we made 6 new Honorable Turtles.

At these Brotherhood nights family, friends, prospects and Brethren of D6 are always welcome. Hope to see more at the next Brotherhood night.

Thank you to everyone who attended. I hope you had a fun evening. Till next time be safe, be blessed and remember to meet everyone on the level.

Hello Brethren I invite you to our next regular communication and EA degree coming up this at our next meeting at Sandoval Lodge.

We also have special guest WB Jon Ruark coming into town to give a presentation on the Circumpunct. We have a small bit of business and a wonderful dinner served by Bro. Burx Norrod JW, Bro. John Keel SS and Bro. Bill Whelchel JS which will be Chicken Marsala and fixings. Please come fellowship with us and let’s have a great night of Masonry on Monday the 9th of January 2023.

Here is a brief introduction for our special guest:

WB. Jon T. Ruark is a Past Master of The Patriot Lodge No. 1957 in Fairfax, VA, and has served in many masonic and fraternal bodies, favoring those with esoteric and educational focuses. He is the Founder and co-host of The Masonic Roundtable podcast that has been running for almost 9 years, spanning 400 episodes with over 2 million downloads. He is also the co-author of It's Business Time: Adapting a Corporate Approach to Freemasonry and an annotated edition of The Master's Word: A Short Treatise on the Word, the Light, and the Self. When not doing masonry, he works as an Agile Innovation coach for global private clients and the federal government.

So I can only assume we are going to have a wonderful night of Brotherhood. See you all there.

Hello time works quickly. Our first communication of the year is tomorrow at 7pm and dinner at 6pm. I hope to serve the lodge according to my best abilities. Thank you to everyone that showed up to the TikTok Masonic Meet Up and the installation as well. What a wonderful new experience. I hope you all enjoyed.

Dinner menu for this meeting Dec 12th, 2022:

Greek menu
Meat Dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves) - ground beef
Keftethes (meatballs)
Tzaziki sauce
Pita Bread
Fruit Tray
Birthday Cake (I think it a good idea to sing a happy birthday before dinner - so everyone is in attendance - and no time wasted)
Baklavas

Recap 12/9/2022 meet up: 107 in person attendance. 4,000+ online attended. Thank you to every Youth Group and Appendant Body that came out and gave a presentation and as well supported this great event. I think the 1st annual was a success.

Recap 12/10/2022: installation was amazing and a wonderful experience and thank you all for your support and trust. Many were in attendance but no direct count but online there were 45,000 viewing and 33,000+ likes. This is amazing and a great way to spread the light of Freemasonry to the world. Let’s keep this momentum and get the lodge more engaged in our own lodge and in the Masonic family and in our own communities.
