The purpose of this website is to communicate with all brothers and families associated with the Las Palmas - Ponderosa Masonic Lodge No. 366 in Fresno, California, and allow perspective members to better understand our organization.

Our web site has been growing; we are adding more information about Masonry for those interested in joining, and expanding our educational area and resources for our new members.  Plus we are getting ready to enhance our historical pages for folks who are interested in Fresno history, and persons looking for genealogical information.

To accommodate this growth, we have added a sub-navigation bar to help visitors quickly access information.  The top navigation bar will guide you to general areas of the web site.  The black middle navigation bar (just below the splash) will give you choices in a specific section.

If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail us or call the Lodge Secretary at (559) 268-2303.

The proposed golf tournament is open to all Masons and their guests. We need to get at least 60 indications of interest to schedule this event. We have received several responses, but need more. If you think you'd be interested in participating, please e-mail us.  Click the golf ball for more information.

 

Did you go some place exciting; a far-off land, an exotic island; maybe Pismo Beach?  If you've got some great pictures, and/or a funny story to go with them, e-mail the pictures with an explanation to the Lodge Secretary.  We'll put your adventure in the upcoming Trestleboard.  It's a great way to share your travels with other members of the Lodge, and a fun thing to do after a long summer!

Third Degree on Sept 11 - We've got a very special young man coming into the lodge, and would like as many brothers as possible on the sidelines to welcome him.  If you plan on attending, please contact the Lodge Secretary at (559) 268-2303 for dinner reservations.

It's Official, Lodge Dues are $101 for 2009 - At the July Stated Meeting, we voted to increase the annual dues of the lodge to $101.00 ($70.00 dues plus $31.00 per capita).  Where else can you have year's worth of fun for the equivalent of only two tanks of gasoline?

Lodge Makeover - We have completed re-carpeting the Lodge, and repairing the doors.  Even the tiler's desk was re-finished.  We'll have pictures for all you distant brothers in the next week.  Meanwhile, you can see pictures of the work as it was in progress by clicking here.
