New Year, New Life, New responsibilities are set in the South. Year 2012 is going to be a wonderful venture for the Junior Warden. I look forward to initiate as many Entered Apprentices who may apply and whom we may find worthy. I have been preparing myself to deliver a long form first degree using power point projector and journey into the ancient meaning of the craft and manifest them into the present. This, I have high hopes to do with your 101% support. The sad old is gone, behold the new life has come. Be on our side where hope is upheld and light illumines the darkness.

It is also my hope as your Junior Warden to be able to serve you not only in refreshments but also in any matter I may deem able to assist as a true brother in masonry. I will stand for justice when issues are presented to me in the south, but will also strive to whisper good counsel for harmony and unity.

In our attempt to serve you and be able to accommodate your visitors for dinners and refreshments, I would ask you to please subscribe to the “Meet up” set on our website for food reservations or otherwise email me at OakesLeonard@msn.com or simply call me at (650) 534-5831.

Lastly, I would like to thank Worshipful Master Lohman for allowing the Junior Warden, in his earlier stage, to sit down with the Senior Warden and Secretary in the Budget Committee Meeting. There is yet a lot of things to learn for this young officer and I ask you to allow me in seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and be able to sit in the East in due time just as those who have gone that way before.

Happy New Year and Happy New Life to All.

Fraternally,
Leonard Oakes
Junior Warden
