A great time was had by all, at the Sweethearts Luncheon!
From the East
Here we are again in the heart of spring. We have been practicing as a lodge for
upcoming degrees and even have had some School of Instruction. There has been a
lot of working with other lodges lately. It’s good to see what happens when lodges
work together. One of the major announcements is that we are planning a BBQ Rib
Cook off/Potluck. We are going to be sending invites out to Orland, Paradise,
Oroville, Forbestown and Gridley. It will be a chance for the lodges to brag about
who makes the best ribs. More details to come later. If you think of something fun
the lodge should do , mention it to me or at a stated meeting. Last but not least we
handed out three $100.00 donations to three High Schools here in Chico. They were
Chico High, Fairview High and Pleasant Valley High. They were happy with the
donations. Hope to see you in lodge.

Hello Brethren!
I bring you this May edition of the Trestle Board starting with May Day on May 1st—which marks the
return to spring. This is when we begin to see life return to the earth; the sun begins to warm, the birds
singing their songs, flowers are blooming and the gardens begin to grow.
May is named after the Roman Goddess Maia who is associated with fertility and oversaw the growth of
plants. In ancient Greek religion, she is told to be one of the seven sisters of Pleiades as well as having
mothered Hermes in partnership with Zeus. The month of May being correlated with the mother of
Hermes, holds a connection to the ancient Hermetic roots of our Craft. In this May time, I encourage you
to learn something new about these Hermetic roots whether it be Alchemy, Magic, Gnosticism,
Spirituality, Kabbalah, Theurgy, Astrology, or any other mystical approach to relating the physical reality
to the spiritual realm. It is all there in our ancient tradition! Whether the lineage to this ancient wisdom is
referred to as Thoth like in Egypt, Mercury like in Rome, or Hermes Trismegistus like in Greece is of
little consequence; what matters, is the wisdom which it holds of the Natural, Celestial, and Divine
aspects of our reality. May the month of May remind us of the lessons in the fellowcraft degree which
encourage us to always challenge our beliefs and seek knowledge!
Have a Great month of May Brethren!

April Showers Bring May Flowers
Hello Masonic Family,
Spring has been a little wet but that is okay with Josephine
Chico Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star. At our first meeting
we celebrated our Past Matrons and Past Patrons. Those
present included Sisters Jan Smith, Dee Yount, Peggy
Glander, Marie Worthy, Cathryn Hepburn, Jill Ramsey,
Malinda Caven and of course, Brother Darrel Hunter, Past
Patron extraordinaire. We also presented Sister Dee Yount
with Eastern Star’s Service Award. Her dedication to our
chapter is appreciated.
Our second meeting we are honoring our Secretary Jan
Smith. Without a good secretary, an organization cannot
function. It is a hard job to take on, those who have never
served as secretary don't realize all the correspondence,
forms, and reports that need to be completed every month.
We love you Jan.
Teresa Elliff, Worthy Matron
Darrel Hunter, Worthy Patron
