More than 24 Odd Fellows showed up at Cupertino #70 to support 4 new members from lodges in and outside of district 107 for their initiatory. Inge Hinrichs from Berkeley #270 supported Ernest Lee Baldridge III for his initiatory, while 7+ usual suspects out of Mountain View #244 were there for their new member Alexander Patrick Amorosa. Bay View lodge #109 brought Valdeir Faria and Jim Murillo who had great support from their lodge members Glenn and Debra.
The Strawberry Full Moon of June happened at 4:46 pm that evening. Magically strawberries appeared which were said to be delicious. Many other treats and dinner items sustained all both before and after the scenes were put away. It was announced that many of the other degrees will be happening across the Bay Region such as at Mountain View, Cupertino, and especially the Richard Brouse Degree Lodge #190 for all degrees in one weekend. This year the Degree Lodge will likely be staged in Vallejo at San Pablo #43 instead of at the Yreka Cave.
Keep an eye on the district calendar for further developments at, https://www.siliconvalleyoddfellows.org/, which is quite a busy place for good fellowship if
you take a look.
Sincerely, Tom Blackburn, Cupertino #70
