UPDATE DUE TO ROAD CLOSURES

We have been granted a special Dispensation by Grand Lodge to move our Communication to Nanaimo on Saturday June 10 2023. Lodge will tyle at 1pm, with a light repast to follow. Many thanks to WB Matt Dunbar and the Officers and Brethren of Ashlar No 3 for their Brotherly love in welcoming us to meet in their Lodge.

To the Brethren of Manoah trapped in Port Alberni and Tofino who won’t be able to attend, you will be in our heart and on our mind.

No suits, no ties, no sandals, your best HAWAII Shirt, long pants.

Dear Brethren,

I am directed by the Worshipful Master to request your attendance at the REGULAR meeting of Manoah Lodge No. 141, to be held on Saturday, June 10th 1:00 PM in the Masonic Hall, 308 Neill Street, Tofino BC.

Inasmuch as we are facing the onset of warmer weather, our Worshipful Master has directed informal dress (slacks and button-front shirts, without ties) with regalia.

The repast will begin at 12:00 Noon in the banquet room. We suggest you pick up a take-out order from Gary’s Kitchen (downstairs from the Lodge room) by 11:45. They have now converted to a take-out only operation with the same selection and reasonable prices. So, the repast will be much as it was before the pandemic struck, with the exception that we will be dining in the Lodge facilities…..

Sincerely and fraternally,
Ian Rumley
Secretary

From the East:

Thanks to all who attended our Installation, and especially to those who took part and otherwise assisted before, during and after Installation. It was very much a team effort that made the day a success for Manoah and Freemasonry. With that same spirit, effort and support we can accomplish what we set our minds to and make our Lodge stronger.

I intend to visit all Lodges on the Island and spread Manoah’s name. My first visit was to Qualicum Lodge No. 197 on May 27th. Visiting strengthens the bonds between Lodges and members. I will make a schedule and welcome any Manoah members to attend with me.

Our next meeting on June 10th has a “Hawaii Shirt Day” dress code. Long pants and shoes. I am looking forward to seeing you all there. For those who won’t be able to attend we will keep you in our thoughts and wish you a speedy return.

Sincerely and Fraternally,
W. Bro. Michael Schnurr

Regular Meetings Of Manoah Lodge No. 141 Will Be Postponed Until Spring 2022.

Dear Brethren,

Given due consideration, and on a balance of caution, VW Bro. Morris Soer, the Worshipful Master of Manoah Lodge No.141 has determined not to hold Lodge meetings until the spring of 2022.

While the Grand Lodge of BC and the Yukon issued a blanket dispensation on June 21, 2021 for the resumption of Lodge meetings under certain COVID-19 restrictions, the high and growing number of COVID-19 cases in BC, along with the prevalence of the highly contagious Delta variant warrants a prolonged period of caution, particularly among our aging membership.

Any hopes we had for a possible Election of Officers on September 11, 2021 and an Installation of Officers on October 9, 2021 are delayed. We will contact everyone with updates as they become available.

Best wishes to you and your families for both good health and good spirits,

John McIntosh, Secretary
Manoah Lodge No. 141

Manoah Lodge No. 141 Benevolent Donation

Dear Brethren,

Back in the fall of 2019, we made a local benevolent donation to one of our few local troll fishermen to enable him to travel to Victoria for a long and periodic series of cancer treatments. You may recall my reporting the following spring on his elderly mother, Mary, being awarded the Oueen’s Volunteer Medal for her years of selfless service to the community. The Ucluelet town Council Chambers were packed to overflowing for that happy event. (See video below)
