My Brothers, by electing me to the office of Worshipful Master, you have bestowed upon me a great honor. I stand on the broad shoulders of those faithful men who have traveled this road before me, who, by their dedication, skill, and fidelity to their trust, have governed this lodge with regularity, integrity, and brotherly love.

I am humbled by the task that lies before me, but I know that in matters of mundane business, I can rely upon brotherly counsel and eager hands to carry the Lodge forward through another year. I request that in your devotions to deity, you will remember me and your officers. May the Great Architect of the Universe guide us in performing the functions and carrying on the traditions that we have recently promised to do.

My emphasis for the coming year will be simple: Harmony. A simple word and concept it is, but as we all know, requires the vigilant application of the most excellent tenets of our organization, which are friendship, morality, and brotherly love. It is through harmony that we will be enabled to join together our individual efforts to erect the Temple of Living Stones that will give hope within our homes, community and the world.

We have a successful joint Christmas Party with Downey United Lodge held on Dec. 13. The children had a great a time watching the puppet show and they get more excited when they saw Santa giving away Gifts. Thanks to all Brethren who help during this event.

Congratulations to Brother Raymond Yan, Brother Edmund Leviste and Brother Mark Gatchalian who has completed their 3rd Degree Proficiency this month of December. I hope this would be an inspiration to all Brethren who have not taken their 3rd Degree Proficiency. I would like to thank Wor. Charles Cross, Wor. Ray Balbin, Wor. Nonato Palomar, Wor. Ed Steigely and Wor. Reymond Rosenbaum for your undying support and Dedication to our Lodge.

I look forward to serving you this year. I look forward to sharing the right hand of fellowship with you. I look forward to continuing the great traditions and work of our noble fraternity. May God richly bless our work, our fellowship, and our homes.

Fraternally,

Wilfredo P. Sia
Worshipful Master
