2 Page 2 April 2016 Spring Musings from the East Companions, Our Chapter performed the Mark Master Degree at the York Rite Festival in Woodland on March 19th. Word is that the degree was very well presented. Congratulations to new Companions of Sacramento Chapter who received their Royal Arch Degrees there: Joseph Madrid, Jared Yoshiki, Rolando Santos Jr., Craig McKinnon, Jonathan Brizuela, Brian Teabo, and Sonny Stormes were exalted. Our next convocation of the year is Saturday, May 14th at 9 a.m. Hope to see every Sacramento Chapter companion there, especially our new companions. I know full well that is probably a vain hope to expect fifty companions to be there that morning. But, it is a fine thought. Participation by all, or at least as many companions as possible, is what will enable us to have a successful, interesting and fun year. Hopefully, you will all prioritize high enough in importance attendance at our Saturday morning meetings every other month. We, and I emphasize this we, cannot succeed without participation. I mentioned this as my first point in my previous Trestleboard article. May I point out again a simple fact? No leader can lead without participation by others; no leader can accomplish very much alone. It requires a team. That team is the key to everything. I want you on the team -- not just elected and appointed officers -- you sideliners we seldom see, too. We need interested, dedicated sideliners if we are to accomplish much at all. Please think about (continued at right) From the dias (continued from left) this, and take action to set aside time to at least attend our scheduled Saturday meetings. This will be the last harp you will hear from me on this theme. Growth, my second point of emphasis in the last bulletin, requires that we all reach out to Masons in our Symbolic Lodges and invite them to become Royal Arch Masons and get the light we have to shine on them. Our seven new companions are a great start on that growth. What of our other Chapter aims, and purposes? We will be discussing these more beginning with our next Chapter meeting on the 14th of May. The Sacramento York Rite Honors Luncheon is on April 9th after the Commandery Conclave. You will want to be there as we honor Excellent Companion Joseph Dongo with the Chapter Meritorious Service Award for The Council and Commandery will be honoring Excellent Companion Harvey Holcomb and Sir Knight Greg Voetsch. Fraternally, Dusty Deryck, High Priest dusty@gotsky.com Companions! I would like to thanks all who showed up at our last Stated Assembly and for sure those who are making progress in our ritual. This coming Saturday will be very special date -- our official luncheon for our distinguished companions Joseph Dongo, Harvey Holcomb and Gregory Voetsch. I encourage the companions to make an effort to attend and help show our appreciation to (continued on page 3)
3 April 2016 Page 3 (continued from page 2) these gentlemen who put so much time and dedication into our masonic traveling. I am pleased to say that our line of officers in the Council is solid, and every officer is very conscientious of his duties; we will continue to improve our ritual. I will make sure this time to talk to our companion Recorder about more rituals. Well companions, I wish you all health and happiness; I will see you next Saturday, April 9th. I will say bye with our depth phrase that is in our ritual: To retire in peace, practice virtue and maintain silence. Fraternally Juan Faranda, Illustrious Master juan.faranda@yahoo.com Greetings, Sir Knights! Let us welcome Sir Knight Aaron French, our newest member. At the March Stated Conclave, along with five other petitioners to receive the Orders, he was elected to membership by affiliation in this Commandery. They were all balloted on collectively. Also at the March Stated Conclave, the Annual Commandery Inspection by Sir Knight Wes Mindermann took place. At the time I am writing this article, I myself have not yet seen the results. Anyway, whatever the results may be, I would like to thank our Officers Coach, Sir Knight Greg Voetsch, Jr., and the Officers who have devoted their time and talent to improve their floor work, sword work and memory work. The 2016 Grand York Rite Sessions will be held at the Doubletree Hotel in Bakersfield from May 21st through May 25th. On behalf of our (continued at right) (continued from left) Commandery, I will be attending the Grand Commandery Session on Wednesday, May 25th. The Sacramento-Sierra York Rite Festival Commandery (Knight Templar) Orders, for which we are the host Commandery, will be held on Saturday, June 11th. As in previous years, our Commandery will again confer the Order of Malta (the second of the three Orders) on a class of candidates. Let us congratulate and applaud our degree team, under the able direction of Sir Knight Richard Wilson (Degree Master), who have been doing excellent work in conferring the Order of Malta. Special recognition and thanks also to Sir Knight Joseph Dongo, our Junior Past Commander and currently Recorder. He took the added responsibility and challenge of forming a degree team to confer the Order of the Temple. Under his direction and leadership, we have been practicing since October of last year at least once a month. We are looking forward to having our Commandery confer the Order of the Temple for the very first time after so many years. Last year, my predecessor, Sir Knight Joseph, started a new program, that of putting our progressive line Officers at advance stations beginning at the September Stated Conclave. As I found this extremely helpful, I would like to continue on with this program in order for the Officers to get a jump start on their work and to give every promise of making the term of my successor an outstanding one. Till next issue, Sir Knights. May we never fail to do our best. Lito Viray, Commander Jsviray32@yahoo.com
4 Page 4 April 2016 Cryptic Degree Festival The annual Sacramento Sierra York Rite Association (SSYRA) Festival will continue Saturday morning, April 30th, when the Council (Cryptic) Degrees are presented at the Auburn Masonic Temple.

The SSYRA Festival will conclude on Saturday, June 11th, when we host the Commandery Orders at our Temple. All Royal Arch Masons are eligible to receive the Council Degrees, though if you did not apply to Council at the same time as Chapter, you must present a Council petition to be balloted on at our April 9th Stated Assembly.

Self-contained RVs and tent campers are welcome to set up any time during the week, and restroom and shower facilities are available. There are also a wide variety of motel accommodations in Mendocino and nearby Fort Bragg. Nancy Hardiman and Kitty Wilson are planning a ladies trip into Fort Bragg or Mendocino for shopping and lunch on Saturday while the degrees are being conferred. Plan now to attend this fun event and bring a friend to take the degrees. New Members Needed The Sacramento York Rite Bodies have experienced significant growth the last couple of years. But, that growth must continue if we are to be a vibrant and relevant organization. New members are always welcome, particularly if they are interested in sharing in the work. Please find the time now to contact that Master Mason whose petition you would like to sign, and invite him to join us. The spring 2016 SSYRA Chapter Festival is past, but the Royal Arch Degrees will next be offered June 25th at Comptche (see left). Deadline for petitions for that festival is our May 14th meeting.
