Wor. Dennis Stahr, Master,  Brother Ryan Bacaoco, JW, and Brother Robert Salini, SD had the pleasure and honor to visit Heartland Lodge #576 in El Cajon, CA, on Thursday night February 9th, 2012. 

They were given the usual warm brotherly welcomed by Wor. Ron Chandler and all the Brethren, and observed the passing to Fellow Craft, two Brothers:  Brother Joe De Mello and Brother Tracy Smith.   Brother Angel Salazar, JW, was in the East for the obligation of Brother De Mello and did a great job.  Brother George Taylor, SW, obligated Brother Smith and also did a great job.

Wor. Ron Kidwell, PM, gave a perfect Middle Chamber lecture
Bro. Gary Kauffman delivered a flawless charge.
