MASONIC ACTIVITIES IN PARADISE

Greetings from da Captain Bob K.

I'm very active in the Masonic fraternity. I am a 32nd degree Mason and a member of the Scotish Rite in the Valley of Honolulu, a member of the Aloha Shrine and am the current Jr. Past Master of the King Kalakaua Daylight Lodge in Honolulu. I have recently finished my term as Master and now plan to be active in degree work and coaching. Our Lodge helps our namesake school, the King Kalakaua Intermediate school in Honolulu by presenting them with award certificates for academic achievement. I am pleased to report that we give out approximately 1000 certificates each year. As Past Master of the Lodge, I help my brethren learn more about Masonry and we also help the SHRINERS HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN where children receive medical treatment at no cost. If you know a child with a crippling disease who needs medical help, e-mail for information on SHRINER'S MEDICAL TREATMENT where the child is cured and the families are never charged. Cpt. Bob.

Masonry in Hawaii dates back to the time when the Sandwich Islands were first discovered by Captain Cooke and we have the honored distinction of being the Lodges of those Kings who gave up the scepter for the trowel to serve for a season as Masters of the Lodge. Hawaiian Masonry dates back over 160 years. We were under the grand Lodge of California all that time until 1989. At that time we were organized under the Grand Lodge of Hawaii and have remained so since. There are twelve Lodges in Hawaii, eight being on the island of Oahu. There are many other concordant bodies present here.

I'm pleased to report that my son Jon, who was made a mason here and is active in the Potentate's band, has returned to the Mainland and he has found a very good job there. It sure makes me jealous when my kid makes more starting out on job than I'll ever make at my highest rate. Oh well. Jon has a girl friend to go along with his new job. It was great to have him here for the several months we lived together. It's really fun when your kids are old enough to go out honky tonkin' and girl chasin' with you. He's a tall handsom lad, just like a magnet. I love it. We had a great time hangin' out together.

If you know a Mason, ask him about Masonry. If you don't know one and want to know more about it, e-mail me. I'll be happy to help you.
