Brethren!
October 7th through October 11th
is Grand Lodge. I will be attending our annual communication and representing Burbank Lodge along with our Secretary Norm Furman. I am looking forward to the sessions, debates, and all of the Fellowship with many different Brothers from all over the State of California.
As we start the fourth quarter of our Masonic year, I will begin finalizing all of my plans and calendar for the next Masonic year. I ask any Brother of Burbank Lodge or any person who associates with Burbank Lodge, if there are any suggestions or recommendations for the next year.
I am happy to hear all requests, whether they create change, spend money, or are out of the ordinary. I will take all suggestions into consideration and see how I can implement them with my plans.
My wife and I have had our hands full with our baby Brianna Rose. Parenthood is fun, but very tiring. We would like to thank all of our Masonic family who have thought of us during this time.
Brianna Rose Brennan was born
August 25th, 2006 - 11:52 PM. 21 Inches,
7 Pounds, 6 Ounces.
Fraternally,
John T. Brennan
Senior Warden

From the South
Brethren:
Fall has arrived, the leaves have been changing colors, and a chill is in the air. Well maybe, but then again for those who reside in Southern California never see leaves turning in September or October, but sometimes in January!
However, my wife and I saw the beautiful seasonal changes on our recent trip to Alaska. For those of you who have never been, we highly recommend it, and for those who have, I am sure they will agree it is one of the most spectacular places to go! This was our first trip there and without a doubt, we would both like to go back someday!
Since October is the celebration of Oktoberfest, this month's dinner will be German Cuisine. Those who wish to have fish it will be available again this month. I'm thinking along the lines of Apple Strudel for dessert, yummy!!!. Please feel free to extend an invitation to your neighbor or family, as all are welcome for dinner and can join the lady's group after dinner. Just remember to include them in your reservations!
Speaking of reservations, I am implementing a change this month for the people who request fish. To avoid confusion and fish being served to people without reservations, tickets will be given to those who have ordered fish when you pay for dinner. Those people who have a ticket will be guaranteed fish for their dinner, and people who wish to have fish without a reservation, will be given fish on a first come basis. If there is no fish left, then the dinner of the month will be available to you. So please make your reservations by Tuesday, October 3, 2006. Cost of dinner will be $10.00 for the men, and of course, ladies eat free.
Fraternally,
Marc S. Canterbury,
Junior Warden
