First and foremost I want to give thanks to THE GREAT ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE for his gracious love and compassion for giving each and everyone of us the chance to fellowship masonically . Next, I want to thank all the brethren of South Pasadena # 290 for electing me as their Senior Warden for the 2010 year. I also want to give a very special thanks to Past Master Tony Fairfield for being so instrumental in keeping with South Pasadena’s tradition of excellence.
I must apologize to all the brethren for not getting my January article in on time.
RUSTY TROWELS
Brothers, the lodge has adopted several new programs to promote the polishing of all rusty trowels. Every mason who occupies a space on this earth carries a trowel with him. In order for it shine with brilliance, it is so important for all masons to meet on the level.
Friday of every week the senior warden will be hosting a study hall for all masons, from the youngest Entered Apprentice in the north east corner of the lodge to the Worshipful Master in the east. The study hall will promptly start at 3:00pm. Brethren I challenge you to come out and make our lodge a pillar that will last a life time from all the knowledge that we can share with each other. We have set an 8:00pm stop time, as your senior warden I am flexible on this stop time. We WILL NOT QUIT UNTIL THE WORK IS DONE.
On January 9, 2010 the lodge hosted a BBQ for all the brothers of South Pasadena lodge #290. To describe this event I will use three simple words.(POETRY IN MOTION) The worshipful master and a few of the brothers started the party off with sampling some very exquisite cigars. The one thing that stood out in my mind was when the food was brought to the 3rd floor and everyone helped in cooking the meal which was delicious.
The Worshipful Master , Senior Warden and Junior Warden hope that all Rusty Trowels come in on Friday, share your knowledge and then on Saturday enjoy the well deserved BBQ for all family members.
Brethren this year let us try to call by phone or word of mouth so that we may bring all our brethren together. This is the year that
all masons in this lodge will not fall through the crack.

So Mote it Be
The will of God be done,
Jeffrey Sims
Senior Warden
