FROM THE EAST:
Brethren, as we close out the year of
2007 and enter into our new Masonic year I hope each of you are having or have
had a Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a Happy and productive New
Year. Our lodge has had a very good 2007 Masonic Year. Worshipful Wright is
very happy with all the successes from membership increases to events held
during his year as Worshipful Master. Every time we did something it just
seemed that it came out better than planned. My goal is to continue with the
momentum from 2007 and see the lodge continue to do great things for our lodge,
our community and even this great nation of ours.
Once again, my brothers, the Grim Reaper has visited and took with him one
of our members; W: Troy L. Guynn (affectionately known as “Boss Hog”) passed
away on December 18th. Brother Guynn was a Past Master of Hilliard
Lodge #208 and Perpetual Member of our lodge. If you know his wife, Claire, or
any of his children I’m sure they’d appreciate hearing from you.
This coming Saturday, Dec 29th, we will be having our
Installation of Officers for 2008. We will serve dinner at 6 P.M. and have Open
Installation of Officers at 7 P.M. In order to accommodate our guest and
conduct some lodge business we will briefly open the lodge at 5 P.M.; take care
of business; and then “Retire from Labor to Refreshment” so that we can have
dinner followed by Open Installation of Officers.
As
we begin our new year we have 3 individuals to Initiate and a couple of more
petitions to vote on at our meeting in January; our normally stated meeting
would be New Years Day so we won’t meet that night. I have set Tuesday, Jan 22,
08 for an Entered Apprentice Degree.
On
Dec 8th we had a Master Mason Degree and Raised six (6) brothers to
the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. W: Terry Kuch (Oceanway Lodge) presided in
the East and was assisted by the Past Masters Degree Team as well as Team
Ruffian from Amelia Lodge. R/W Wilmer T. Atwell delivered the Master Mason
Degree Lecture. After the degree
we had a Christmas Party and had over 75 in attendance. We were entertained by
W: Kevin Sanders and even Santa Claus paid a visit to the delight of all the
children present. A special thanks to Brother Len Lee’s mom who prepared the
turkey, ham, dressing and fixings. Also a great big thank you to our OES
sisters who brought all the deserts. It was a great day and evening.
Speaking of “great days” I would be
remiss if I failed to mention the great day we all had on Dec 1st
for the Callahan Christmas Parade. We had a group participate in the parade
with a lodge float and several of us helped cook and serve lunch, along with
our OES sisters, at the Shrine Ceremonial. This was the first time Morocco
Temple held it’s Shrine Ceremonial in Callahan and everyone seemed to really be
pleased. Special thanks to Brother Don Myers for the use of his truck and to
JD, Paul, Ben, Mike, Jack, Jason, Brian and Worshipful Wright (hope I didn’t
leave anyone out) who rode or walked along with our float. Also thanks go to
Bruce Oliver for working so closely with us to in supporting the Shrine. All
those Shiners in the parade really made it a truly special day for our
community.
At our first meeting in December we held our election of officers for
2008. The elected and appointed officers for the new year are listed below
under Lodge Officers for 2008..
This coming year we will again be working with our community and other
organizations to do those things Masons should be doing. With everyone’s help
we can truly make a difference for the better. A simple thing like stopping by
and visiting goes a long way towards making events enjoyable and successful
occasions.
Brother Don Myers is in Baptist Hospital (New Heart Wing) recovering
from an operation. Please keep him in your prayers; he’d also enjoy a visit.
Remember our other sick and shut-ins in your prayers.
Upon the Square
John H. Page, P.M.
Worshipful Master (Elect for 2008)
FROM THE SECRETARY’S
DESK:
Brothers,
It is an honor to have been
elected to serve as your Lodge Secretary for 2008. I look forward to a

already paid. Also I need help finding Charlie D. Henderson, a brother with
last known address of Dover, FL; he is 50+ year member of our lodge.
Fraternally yours,

FROM THE EAST Trestle-board
For December 2007
I want to thank the members of
Callahan Lodge #32 for allowing me to be your Worshipful Master for the year
2007. I think we have made great progress this year. We have brought some 20
new members into the Lodge. We set the record for attendance at the 11th
& 12th Masters & Wardens Assoc. Meeting. We put
approximately 80 children through the child ID program. Our joint Callahan
Community and Callahan Lodge Military Appreciation Night Drop In was a huge
success. Local businesses donated gift certificates and door prizes to the
active military and retirees. Come and visit an active Masonic Lodge

FROM THE EAST Trestle-board
For November 2007
October was a very busy month
for Callahan Lodge. We still have a large class of new Masons working their way
to Master Mason level in the Lodge. Your Lodge is alive and active and being
recognized by other lodges in the area. We are going to finish the year in high
speed. You are invited to come to a meeting and see for yourself.
Foster Wright
Worshipful Master
Update
since the mailing of the Trestleboard: On Thursday, Oct 25th, the
daughter of Brother Al Martinez and grand-daughter of W: Wayne Nye was hit and
killed on the way to catch her school bus. It is sometimes hard to express our
heart-felt sympathies but Brother Martinez said he appreciates his Masonic
Brothers who rallied together to support both he and his family. He said he
received calls, cards, visits, and food from members of other lodges as well as
our Lodge. We also received word that Brother Maurice Tatum passed away on Oct
1st; he was a member of our Lodge for over 50 years. Please remember
to keep these families in your prayers.
Several activities also took place: the Child-ID Program was held at the
Lodge on Saturday, Oct 27th, and we had 85 kids go through that day;
each received a free Child-ID tee shirt. Special thanks to Sheriff (Brother)
Tommy Seagraves and his deputy who used an Eye Scanner and finger print cards
and R/W Allan McQuaig, Brother McQuaig’s wife and Brother Daryl Boone who came
out to take picture for ID Cards. Helping us that day were our own members:
Brothers Ben Marquis, Monroe Royal, Danny Johnson, Jack Tucker, John Page as
well as Eastern Star members Betty Mathews, Peggy Taylor and Carol Kwaak. The
OES also had a yard sale that day with Sisters Carol Kwaak and Susan Drawbond heading up that event.
They raised over $300 that went towards supporting the Children’s Halloween
Party at the Pediatrics Section at Shands Hospital in Jacksonville. The Girl
Scouts were also participants and sold bake goods to help raise funds for the
Children’s Halloween Party at Shands. On Tuesday night, Oct 30th we
held a Fellow Craft Degree and Passed 6 brothers to the F.C. Degree; special
thanks to R/W Robbie Stokes who gave an excellent lecture and Brother Len Lee
who provided an outstanding meal.

board For October 2007
The Past Master, Widows and
Family Night we held last month was a great success. We had approximately 90-100 in attendance and everyone
enjoyed the entertainment provided by W: Sanders.
We Initiated 11 Brothers into
Freemasonry in September. On Saturday, Sep 15th we took 2 candidates
to be Initiated with 6 other candidates at Solomon Lodge and then we held
an Entered
Apprentice Degree on Sep 25th here at Callahan Lodge were we
Initiated 9 other of our candidates. It was good to see all the chairs filled
by officer and members of this lodge. As usual R/W Wilmer Atwell gave an
excellent lecture.
Update:
Our lodge has lost 2 members in the past couple of weeks. On Sep 29th W: Gene Steedley
(Past Master of Hilliard Lodge #208) and perpetual member of Callahan Lodge
passed away. Then on Oct 13th
W: James S. Page lost a long battle to cancer. W: James Page was Master of

WHAT A GREAT SUCCESS!! I

Lodge. We have a GREAT COOK and
the word has gotten out. Why don’t
you come and sample the fine food?
A special “thanks” to the
brothers who set up the Masonic Booth at the 4th of July Celebration
at Hilliard. We talked to several

attendance. It was a good thing
that Brother Tom Page came prepared and was able to feed the multitude. The Official Visit of the District
Deputy Grand Master, R:W: Alan McQuaig also went well. At the end of the month on March 30th
and 31st we supported our community at the West Nassau County
Relay-for-Life where we raised money for the American Cancer Society. We sold ice cream as our fundraiser and
didn’t do as well as we had hoped because the weather turned rainy and
cold. However we had a lot of good
fellowship and enjoyed our brothers from the Blue Lodge Brothers Band who
entertained Friday night and Saturday morning. A special “THANKS” to R:W: Robbie Stokes and W: Barry

Brethren, The month of January has not been good for Callahan Lodge.
Three deaths have hurt us greatly; the first being Worshipful Bob Taylor’s,
then Worshipful Mike Wingate and Brother Ben Marquis’ wives. Our prayers go out
to the families of all. However the 2007 Installation of Officers program was a
huge success; some 47 people showed up for it. We also have five applications
for the Masonic degrees, which is a good start for the year 2007. What I need
now is for you to come to the Lodge meetings. Why don’t you make a New Years
resolution to show up.

Trestleboard for
December 2006 (Sent by U.S. Mail on Nov 29, 2006).
This is an electric copy of
our lodge trestleboard and has been edited for the internet. Complete
names can be found in the trestleboard sent to our members via U.S. Mail.
FROM THE EAST:
Brethren, it is with sorrow that I write this last Trestleboard as
Worshipful Master. I just found out that Worshipful John J. Reaves, Jr.
died last night. He was one of our Past Masters and was a key person in
building our new lodge building. Now is the time for us to wrap our arms
around his family and let them know that his Masonic Brothers are there to help
them. His Viewing will be Wednesday evening, Nov 29th, from
6-8 P.M. at Naugle Funeral Home, 1203 Hendricks Ave; the Funeral Service will
be on Thursday, Nov 30th at 11 A.M. at Southside Baptist Church,
1435 Atlantic Blvd; followed by Internment and Graveside Masonic Rites in Mayo,
FL at 3:30 P.M.
(UPDATE: Many brothers
attended the Viewing and Funeral Service of Worshipful John J. Reaves,
Jr. Several of us made the trip to the cemetary where we conducted
Masonic Graveside Rites. A special thanks to Rite Worshipful Wilma
Attwell who served as Master of Ceremonies at the grave side.)
