TRESTLEBOARD
A Chico Freemasons Tradition Since 1856
Published by Chico-Leland Stanford Lodge, No. 111, F&AM
Vol. 165 No. 5 - December, 2021
From the East
We’re coming to the end of my time in the East, yet there is more to accomplish.
It’s my goal to speak with each of you before our Senior Warden, Bro. Story, takes on the responsibilities
of W∴ M∴ in January. I’ll endeavor to call all of you, and I hope to see as many of you as possible in
Lodge on the 14th,, at our last Stated for 2021. I have a token of appreciation for every Mason who can
join us for dinner and the Stated meeting.
While there are more than 50,000 members and about 330 lodges in California Freemasonry is a distant,
unknown thing to most of the world. Perhaps you might make it a New Year’s resolution to help those
around you unfamiliar with the Craft to come to a fuller understanding of it. I do.
I’d also like to revive a celebration of the Holy Saints John, on Saturday, December 18th, 2021, at
the Lodge, 0830 hours (8:30 a.m.). December 27th is the actual date the Evangelist’s day is celebrated.
June 24th was the Baptist’s date, but it was too close to our re-opening for us to contemplate an
unrestricted event. Invitations will be extended to any Lodge within a two hours drive.
My most heartfelt wishes for peaceful, joyous and calm holidays for all of us, and may 2022 bring us
many more occasions to meet, act and part as Brethren. -John L. Barneson III, W∴ M∴
Thursday December 2nd, at the
Chico Masonic Family Center
at 6:30pm. EVERYONE is
welcome! Come support, play
some games and have fun. A
fun event for the whole family!
Congratulations to our Golden Veteran Award Recipients
for 50 years masonry brother’s Arbuckle and Caprealian!

It is so nice to be able to hold our meetings again and we have been busy
working on our projects for OUR KIDS at Shriners Hospital Northern
California. We had a delicious lunch at our November meeting and
honored our Past Presidents at our meeting. Our December meeting will
find us continuing our sewing and quilting projects and another delicious lunch is on the
schedule as we celebrate the “Reasons for the Season”.
Happy Holiday wishes to all of our Chico Masonic Family. We wish each of you and your
families a joyful and healthy New Year.
Jill Ramsey, President
From the Board of Directors
We continue to move forward, some hinderances but overall heading in the right
direction. As the year comes to a close, I reflect back at the difficulties that were faced
and look forward to a continued progress. Please keep an eye on an upcoming clean up
day, hopefully sometime in December. Many lodge and appendant body members have
put in effort and time helping the facility as we limped due to COVID and shutdowns.
You are all very appreciated and we couldn’t have done it without all of you help. Our
scheduled meetings are the first Monday of every month at 6pm in the library,
ALL brothers are welcome to attend and see what we are up to. Happy Holidays to all!
Dan Heal – Board President
DeMolay
Thank you to all our young men who continue to move the order forward. On behalf of
DeMolay I wish you all happy holidays.

Josephine Chico No. 104, OES
Greetings of the Season to all of our Chico Masonic Family,
Josephine Chico Chapter No. 104 has started a new year, finally. My name is Teresa Elliff
and this is my first time serving as Worthy Matron. I am a Past Honored Queen of Bethel
No. 326, Chico. And, a special thank you to Brother Darrel Hunter, who is our Worthy
Patron in 2022, for your devotion to our Order.
I look forward to working with all of our appendant and concordant bodies.
Our meetings are the 2nd and 4th Wednesday and start at 7:30 p.m.
Did you know that Eastern Star was created by a Master Mason, who felt that female
relatives of Master Masons, should share, in a measure, the benefits from knowledge of the
Masonic fraternity, which would benefit both men and women…?
Our Brothers are necessary to our existence and we would be honored to have you join our
Order. We would love to see our Star Brothers at our meetings. And, Oh Yes, you fella’s are
eligible and we really need you.
Did you know that the Grand Master, Jeff Wilkins, is a member of Eastern Star?
We wish all a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2022.
Teresa Elliff, Worthy Matron
Darrel Hunter, Worthy PatronWe are Back for 2022!!
Robert Burns Night Charity Dinner and Whisky
Tasting
Mark your Calendar for Saturday
January 29th!
The February 2020 dinner was wildly successful. Our lodge
and Butte County Scottish Society will again be jointly
hosting a Robert Burns Night Charity Dinner and Whisky
Tasting at the Chico Masonic Family Center to support
local charities and the Shrine Children’s Hospital in Sacramento.
Burns Night is widely renowned as a commemoration of the famous Scottish poet and Mason
Robert Burns' birthday. He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement, and after his
death he became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both personal liberty, equality,
and justice, and a cultural icon in Scotland and around the world.
• A Burns Night dinner is celebrated with a feast showcasing the best of traditional
Highlands cuisine and showcasing music, arts, humor, and single malt whisky tasting.
• A formal sit down dinner will feature tri-tip or salmon, Haggis, all the trimmings and
a traditional Scottish desert. Wine, Beer and Whisky will be on hand.
Come for the fun of the bag pipes, Celtic music – featuring Ha Penney Bridge, humorous
stories and Support the Local Charities and Shrine Hospital.
The time of the event will be 5:00-10:00pm.
Ticket sales will begin in late December. We hope you get the word out to your network and
attend yourselves. There will only be seating for 225 people, don’t be left out!

Our November dinner of roast turkey with all the fixings was excellent. And don’t forget
Bro. Loch’s homemade Apple Crisp for dessert. Our Rainbow Girls did a great job serving
and on clean up.
Our December Dinner Menu
Roast pork loin, slow cooked tender and moist garlic mashed potatoes with gravy. Mixed
vegetables, green salad with choice of dressing with rolls and butter.
Dessert
This night's Dessert will be special. Bro. Loch will be making Worshipful Steve
Catterall’s Famous Christmas Cookies from the original recipe. Those were the cookies
that everyone loved to eat at Steve’s Old Gold Jewelry Store during the Christmas Season.
