June 2026
It has been said that “time flies when you’re having fun.” Well, May was certainly that
and now it is June already! Wow! We are in for another busy month in the Valley of San
Diego.
On June 3 rd , we had our June Stated Meeting where we honored the York Rite of San
Diego County. We had the heads of the different York Rite Bodies at our head table. It
was a great evening, and it displayed the unity of the two Rites: different tools, different
traditions, ONE brotherhood.
On June 6 th , we will be helping the Filipino Masonic community by co-sponsoring the
Philippine Independence Nite, a fundraising event benefitting our San Diego RiteCare
Childhood Language Center. It is slated to be another great event with approximately
250 attendees expected. We will have a silent auction, speeches, Filipino food, and
entertainment.
​
The Illustrious Jerrold Wohlfarth, 33° and Honorable Sheldon Berman, KCCH Spring
Class finished on May 30 th, and we welcomed a new batch of Scottish Rite members.
We will have the New Member Orientation night on June 17 th . Support these new
members by attending this special event.
​​
The next big event is our All-Masonic Picnic celebrating the semi-quincentennial anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence --- America 250! All Masonic organizations in San Diego are invited. We will have burgers and hotdogs, games for all ages…even a paintball competition! Our tagline is: Free Admission, Free Food, Freemasonry!
