We had the pleasure of a double first degree last night. Brother Snowball and Molina. We had a guest SR Deacon Brother Molina from San Leandro Lodge #113 who assisted in initiating his son into our craft. It's a pleasure to welcome an eighteen-year-old man into our fraternity. Brother Snowball has been a knocking for over a year and we are delighted he chose California Lodge 1.
