Happy Fall, My Brothers!


I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather! Lots of “cool” things happening around SAL6. First, our new Mini Splits are currently being installed on the 3rd floor so our October meeting will have Air Conditioning! Some may be thinking “Well great timing Worshipful, summer is over.” I’ll have you know that our mini splits also do Heat! From now on our Lodge room will be whatever temperature we deem comfortable! As you can see, I’m pretty excited about that.


I’m also excited to say that our Fellowcraft degree was amazing! I can’t congratulate the degree team enough on their performance. Everyone worked hard, stepped up, and did everything possible to put on an incredible degree. That’s 2 degrees down and 1 to go! So if you didn’t get a chance to be part of our MM or FC degree and would like to have a part in the EA, please reach out!


Speaking of stepping up, thank you, Bro. Abed for putting together our 2nd floor remodel plan and presenting it last month. I know it was short notice but I’m sure the members of SAL6 are just as excited as I am to see the potential on the 2nd floor. More to come on that project!


This month's program is what was supposed to be last month's program…Vigilant Brewing Company will be joining us to discuss their delicious beverages, a possible glow ball tournament in the spring, and maybe even a future SAL6 beverage to help raise money for our next charity of choice! If you want to learn more or have some ideas, please join us!


Please note! This month we will be opening at 530pm!!

Recess at 6 pm for dinner and the program! RSVP’s are REQUIRED by October 7th.

Back to labor once the program is over!

Dinner will be a tailgate theme. Catered by Baja’s

Price TBD.


See you all soon!

Manuel J. Benevides
