A master's job is
never done, it lives on through the ages.
The annual Installation of Officers was held on December 15, 1990 and a large crowd was in attendance. After the Installation ceremony a light refreshment was served in the dining hall. A good time was enjoyed by all.
In the stated meeting of January, the newly installed Master read an article on Masonic Education and it was well received by the brethren in attendance. In February the annual Crab Feed was enjoyed before the stated meeting. There was according to the records about 100 people in attendance of the Crab Feed.
In March, Bro. Mike Durham PM of Kerman Lodge, was in Clovis to inform the Lodge of the need for Kerman Lodge to consolidate with another Lodge. They wanted to get a feel for Clovis Lodge and to give our members time to react. A motion and vote carried deciding to give Kerman Lodge any assistance possible in their impending demise.
On the 6th of June it was Past Masters Night and the Past Masters were escorted into the Lodge room by the Junior Past Master and asked to introduce themselves. They were received by the Master and the Past Masters took over and put on a fine degree.
At the stated meeting of June the Master gave a very interesting talk on Bro. Andrew Jackson, The Grand Master of Tennessee and former President of the United States. This lesson showed how a frontier ruffian could be an unorthodoxed Mason and still become the President of the United States, and that there was still hope for our country.
In August it was mentioned for the very first time about the Junior Wardens retreat and how the Lodge should fund this endeavor also. It was passed by motion and vote.
In December it was approved by motion and vote to pay our dues for the Central Valley Masonic Service Bureau at the rate of .06 cents per member for a total of $27.96. At the stated meeting this month 2 brothers received their 25-year service pins. Also it was adopted to adopt the life membership plan from the Grand Lodge of California.
It is worth noting that the Master of this year gave very enlightening talks about Masonry at every stated meeting he was able to attend in this year. Bro. Enloe has gone on to accomplish just about everything that can be accomplished in Masonry. His list of awards and titles stretch to far to even begin to mention them, but it is worth noting that he was the Inspector of the 293rd Masonic District for about 2 years.
