Michael Wamback, a Past Master of Sunset Lodge and native of Nova Scotia will present a talk on the history and folklore of Oak Island at our May meeting.

Located just off the coast of Nova Scotia, the island is the site of the world’s longest and most expensive treasure hunt, which has spanned several hundred years.  Theories about what lies at the bottom of the famous “money pit” include everything from pirate treasure to Shakespear manuscripts.

In this fascinating look at Oak Island, Brother Michael will examine many of the popular theories and then focus on the possible Masonic connection to the mystery of the Oak Island treasure.

Date: Friday, May 8th 2009
Time: 7:30 PM
Location: Sunset Lodge, 1720 Ocean Park Blvd., Santa Monica CA

Please note: This event is open to the general public.

The April meeting of Solvitur Ambulando was held on Friday, April 10th at Sunset Lodge.

Following a very brief business meeting, a roundtable discussion was held concerning possible events that would benefit the growth of our Lodge and Chapter.

It was suggested that the Lodge and Chapter should hold regular seasonal events, and a number of ideas were discussed including our popular model railroad exhibit, an art show and possibly staging a play.

It was determined that the Lodge and Chapter should hold an educational session for our newer members in July.

Also discussed was the idea of programs to benefit the Veterans Administration Hospital and Public Schools.

The Chapter is going to examine the possibility of hosting exemplifications of the original degrees at some future period, as well as the possibility of attending such events if they are held within the District.

It was also decided that the Lodge and Chapter would examine the possibility of creating a “buddy system”, where new members would be paired with an older member who would act as a mentor.

The society will also examine the possibility of holding an Open House in July.
