Sickness and Distress
Worshipful Robert Hartman, well-known among the members of Twin Peaks Lodge #32 and serving as the current Senior Warden, needs our help. Many of you are already familiar with Brother Hartman’s wife, Kathleen, who has consistently shown support for his endeavors in Masonry. She is not only a member but also holds the esteemed position of Past Matron at MT Olympus Chapter #23 OES, located within the premises of this cherished Masonic Temple.
Regrettably, Kathleen is currently battling lung disease and requires a lifesaving transplant. In light of this urgent situation, we humbly present her fundraising web page to the brethren, inviting you to read it. Those who feel inclined are kindly requested to contribute to this noble cause. Moreover, Brother Hartman earnestly requests that you kindly share the link on your respective social media platforms, ensuring that others may become aware of Kathleen’s pressing need.
Let us rally together as a united Masonic community, demonstrating the strength of our fraternity by extending a helping hand to one of our own in this time of great need. Your support and contributions will be deeply appreciated, further exemplifying the values we hold dear.
Contribute to Kathleen Hartman
Please keep these brethren and their families in your thoughts, and add them to your daily devotions to the Grand Architect.
If you happen to hear about a brother who is in distress, please contact either the Worshipful Master or the Lodge Secretary ASAP so that the Lodge can put itself in a position to assist.
FROM THE EAST
Congratulations on a great first half of the year. We are doing amazing things in Twin Peaks Lodge #32. It’s good to see the renewed energy. The degree work has been exceptional. The fellowship phenomenal! We are making a positive effect in our own lives and in our community, all while having a good time while doing it.
Just because the lodge is “dark” during the summer months doesn’t mean we don’t have anything to do. We will be practicing for the upcoming degrees as well as hosting special educationals.
We expect to receive seven petitions when we meet again in September. Get ready! We will be busy with degree work and coaching.
Your Brother on the Square,
Ephraim Sng, Worshipful Master

Report on Past Events

Welcome our Newest Master Mason!
Please join me in welcoming Brother Austin Stoker as the newest raised Master Mason. Austin has worked hard in memorizing the catechisms and done an excellent job by returning his work in open lodge. It was an excellent turnout with brothers from four different lodges in attendance. We are proud to have Brother Stoker as our newest member!
