voting on three petitions. On the 8th Brother Jeff
Wells will be getting his Master Mason Degree,
let’s all support him on this important night. April
12 we will be having our Outdoor Degree at
Rainbow Canyon. Brother Michael Heiman will
get his Master Mason Degree. As many of you
know, the Rainbow Canyon Outdoor Degree is in
an Old West setting where we dress in old west
fashion including hats; We always enjoy this
event, and of course, the more the merrier. All
Lodges are invited but you must be a Master
Mason. For those of you who would like to stay
overnight, there are some rooms available but I
need to know as soon as possible.
On April 15 we will have an E/A degree and our
Senior Warden Miguel Zavala will be conferring
the degree. April 22 is our Trustee meeting and
April 23 is our MMT meeting. April 24 is the
Master’s and Warden’s meeting.
The Scottish Rite Reunion is April 25 and 26.
Any Mater masons that would like to join the
Scottish rite still have time to get their petition in,
I have petition. The Initiation fee is $255.00 and
you need to present a copy of your dues &
proficiency card.
Tickets are on sale for two “Nellis Baseball
Nights”, June 19 and August 23. June 19 is
$1.00 beer night and August 23 is Jersey night.
This is a great night to bring the whole family
and friends. If you need any information or have
questions, please let me know.
Happy birthday to all my brothers who are
celebrating in April.
I would appreciate any feedback you may have
that would improve our Lodge and make it the best in Nevada.

“Initiation points the way, but only the studious walk therein.” – Anonymous
Let us examine the impetus of initiation. It can be summed up in three distinct words: ask , seek, knock. These acts are important not only as a candidate but as a subtle and powerful lesson of action. Does the lodge seek candidates? No. It is the responsibility of the interested to take the initiative to ask to be a Mason, he then seeks admission and finally knocks on the door of the lodge. However, the process of asking, seeking and knocking does not apply only to the initiate.
Asking. Have you asked to help lately? Have you sought ways to ease the burden of the lodge? Have you knocked on a door of opportunity? We are Masons because at one time we felt we had something to offer the Craft and ventured to apply for membership.
Seeking. Are you seeking to make a difference in the lodge? In your life? In somebody else’s life? Masons have a wonderful history of seeking to make a difference no matter how small or large.
Knocking. What doors or windows of opportunity have you passed lately? Knocking may be as easy as helping a new brother learn the unwritten ways of being a Mason. Or perhaps it is knocking on the door of a brother that is ill or in need of a helping hand.
I look at these three steps as analogous to the three steps of Blue Lodge Masonry. The apprentice asks, the fellow seeks and the master knocks.

Brethren,
Fundraisers have Officially started by aid of Bro. Darce with the AMAZING Gun raffle! So to continue, I will be filling the Display Case with Masonic goodies that will be available to purchase before and after all meetings. Also the Baseball nights have been scheduled, Jun.19th & Aug. 23rd! I will also start recruiting for the Fireworks booth! This will be Nellis' Best year ever! If we do not beat previous years sales we will at least beat the Fun had at the Booth while selling! Its all about the Fellowship!
Fraternally,
SW. Miguel
Secretary
Brethren,
As most of you are aware, whenever I write something in the
Trestleboard it usually has something to do with dues. In this
case that’s partially correct.
I send dues notices and other things to all the brothers each year
and at times some of that mail is returned to the office without
any forwarding information. This wouldn't be too unusual except
this year there we had a curious number of somewhat active
brothers mail returned. These Brothers have never been late nor
have they shown any indication of wanting to leave the Craft.
They not only have no forwarding addresses but their phone
numbers are no longer active. Of these, I was able to find one
through Facebook and another was found by the Master, Harold
(still no response after trying to contact him). Since then I sent
out late notices and yet another Bro. turned up MIA. All I can do
is let their time expire and give them an NPD status. We as a
Lodge do not want to do have to do this.
Now, getting back to dues, as of this printing we still have 43
members in arrears, 7 of which owe for 2 years. This is just
under 1/4 of the dues paying membership! As mentioned before
late notices have been sent at the end of February and only
received 2 payments and one Bro. that wants to pay on a
payment plan.
I am inserting a list of the names of the brothers who are in
danger of NPD status and the names of the brothers who have
no forwarding information and possibly to together we can find a
solution. Maybe someone knows what has happened or can fill
me in on their whereabouts.
Thanks to all of you for your help and I will see you all Lodge
