STATED MEETING INFORMATION:
Stated Meeting information: I would like to ask all attendees at the Stated Meetings to show respect to our visitors and guests by:
*Making sure they have seats, even before we, the members do!!!
*Please let's overwhelm them with a warm welcome and an extended hand of Brotherly/Sisterly Love
*I think it would be a great Idea to have one member of each body assigned to welcome anyone that walks in the door that could be potential member of their Order.
*When someone is speaking I ask that you cease your discussions at the tables and give the speaker your undivided attention. Your help in this matter is GREATLY appreciated.

****We are going to change things a little. We are going to OPEN the meeting at 6:30 with Prayer, then have the Guest Speakers, do award and introductions, and THEN we will serve the meal. If you are someone who comes to the dinners EVERY DINNER, we would like to make sure we have you on our Standing Reservation list; for this and making reservations please call our Jr Warden, Wor Patrick Janitell at 951-485-1073 . Thank you all for your cooperation!!
