Reflections from the Grand East
As I sit in the Grand East for these fi nal few days, I fi nd myself fi lled with a deep sense of gratitude and humility. What a year it has been. Looking back, it has truly been a tremendous journey, one marked by challenges, growth, and, most importantly, the unwavering support and dedication of Oregon Masons across our jurisdiction.
Serving as your Grand Master has been the greatest honor of my Masonic life. The trust you placed in me was not taken lightly. Th roughout the year, I’ve had the privilege of visiting Lodges large and small, witnessing fi rsthand the strength and resilience of our Craft . Each handshake, each conversation, each official visit has reminded me of the timeless values that unite us—Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.
There were triumphs to celebrate and obstacles to overcome. Yet through it all, I was reminded time and again that the true strength of our Fraternity lies not in buildings or titles, but in the hearts and hands of the Brothers who carry on our ancient traditions with pride and purpose.
To those who offered guidance, lent a hand, or simply shared a kind word along the way—thank you. Th is has not been a journey I walked alone, and I am better for the companionship I found in all of you.
As we look to the future, I do so with great optimism. Our Craft is in good hands. The dedication of our blue Lodge officers across the state, the energy of our newer Brothers, and the wisdom of our past masters ensure that the light of Freemasonry will continue to shine brightly in Oregon.
My Brothers, thank you for the opportunity to serve. May the Lord continue to bless you and this Grand Lodge. Every Day!
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Timothy J. Best Grand Master 2024-2025

Marc Lloyd Strong was born Sept. 19, 1955, in Bend, Ore. He was the son of Donald Lyle Strong and Barbara Blackstone Peck. He is the youngest of six siblings, with four sisters and one brother. He descends from the early families of Massachusetts in the late 1620s, the founding colonists of Connecticut and Maine in the 1630s and the early Dutch families of New Netherlands (New York), also in the 1630s. Marc’s father came to Eastern Oregon in 1949 and took a job with the U.S. Forest Service.
Marc’s father, paternal grandfather, maternal greatgrandfather, and two of his great-great grandfathers (one on each side) were all Freemasons. Marc petitioned Canyon City Lodge No. 34 and was Initiated an EA May 6, 1999, Passed to FC and Raised a Master Mason on May 22, 1999. He was elected Junior Warden in 2003 and was Master of that Lodge in 2004. He was elected Senior Warden in 2005 and in June of 2005 the Lodge consolidated with Baker Lodge No. 47 and changed its name to Blue Mountain Lodge No. 34. He was elected Master again for 2006, this time for Blue Mountain Lodge No. 34. He served the Lodge as Senior Deacon in 2012, 2013, 2020 and 2021.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SERVING THE BRETHREN OF THIS JURISDICTION AND BUILDING ON THE STRONG FOUNDATION LAID LAST YEAR.
Fostering Connections
By Austin Mier, Contributing Editor, Oregon DeMolay Hall of Fame Committee
You can control your oven with your phone now. Dishwashers, washing machines, basically every household appliance offers some form of digital connection that supposedly delivers on the promise of living a frictionless, connected life. Even your toaster can be integrated into a web of increasingly complicated, and yet increasingly frivolous connections between the various facets of your life. I’ll admit, I’m guilty of indulging in these modern conveniences. My camera now offers an app that I can use to remotely trigger the shutter. What once required a physical connection between myself and the device now can be done wirelessly, requiring a simple tap of a virtual button on my phone screen. Good for selfies.
Strange that all of these connections serve to physically distance ourselves from our tools. The fulfi lment of the promise of connectedness comes in the form of a universal remote built into your phone, such that you no longer have to even get up to operate the simplest of appliances, nothing to say of the increasingly complicated things, like my camera, or of modern cars. The more “connected” a thing becomes, the more distant it tends to become.
What then of human connection? Surely all of our communications technologies serve to maintain an illusory
sort of connection with each other, while maintaining a physical reality of distance. Such was my fi rst reaction when I heard about the possibility of a DeMolay online chapter. How does one forge true friendships through a medium of distance? It seems counterintuitive, and yet the fi rst signs point to Oregon DeMolay’s foray into the digital realm as being successful in what was, originally, the empty promise of tech corporations, a promise of connection despite distance. I am reminded that even the simplest tools can create great works.
The idea began small. As Oregon DeMolay Executive Officer John Coulter puts it, it came to him in a dream. One restless night, he scribbled some notes on a bedside notepad, but by the time he had woken up the next morning, only one word was really legible; “Online”. The hope was that new technology could facilitate communication and reach disparate members of the DeMolay community, connecting people and resources from physically distant chapters across Oregon. It seems simple, but as anyone who has arranged an online meeting knows, things can quickly become messy. Coulter initially tried to apply the idea to a Squire program, but was met with little success. While the online meeting was functional, after he took his hands off it, it failed to grow

into a self sustaining and growing community. “DeMolay is a youth organization, and so these things have to come from the youth.”
Technology at that moment was an obstacle that had to be overcome, and opportunity to do so struck about a year later. Then Junior State Officer Rocky Zachary, while at Convention with other representatives from across Oregon, heard a story about a young man who wanted to be involved, but was too physically remote from any active chapters to do so. Zachary and close friend Bjorn Johnson were both experienced in using Social Media tools to help promote and organize their own events, and so they set to brainstorming ideas for what would eventually become Oregon Demolay’s fi rst online chapter; Oregon Trail Chapter.
meeting can become a frustrating and scary experience.
A new member of Oregon Trail Chapter can experience things at their own pace.
But Oregon Trail Chapter demonstrates that it doesn’t have to be. Meetings are conducted informally within the comfort of the participant’s homes, and displayed name cards even aid in learning names and making introductions less difficult. Participants can join in as little, or as much as they want. From simply listening behind a “muted” camera, to joining in on conversations, debates, and games, a new member of Oregon Trail chapter can experience things at their own pace, while still interacting with real, active DeMolay members.
To call it a chapter is somewhat of a misnomer, as the gathering, conducted through a video call on Zoom, is very informal. All are welcome to join the call every month on the seventh, but officers are typically not in uniform. They also don’t conduct standard ceremonies. Indeed, there are many things that make the online chapter experience very different from a typical Demolay chapter meeting. Rocky describes the initial intimidation of his fi rst “physical” meeting, where he was introduced to many people who, through their manners and dress, seemed important and larger than life. Such a perception, he argues, serves to distance ourselves from the physical reality that these people, who seem so intimidating now, will soon become collaborators and friends. Combined with the difficulty of remembering names and details, a fi rst
"Oregon is the heart of a new wave of DeMolay, and I'm a firm believer in it." - Bjorn Johnson
Indeed, while it was initially intended to reach remote DeMolay chapters, perhaps the greater victory, at least philosophically, is that Oregon Trail Chapter presents a unique and effective way to introduce new members to what makes DeMolay so special in the fi rst place; the values that it promotes and the people who engender those values. Because of the low commitment required to join an online meeting, even someone who is just a little curious can interact with current DeMolays and ask questions, and get prompt answers in an informal environment.
The results are already clear. The fi rst full member from the online chapter was recently initiated into DeMolay, and people from around the state, and even outside it, are beginning to notice. DeMolay leadership from as far away as Bulgaria and Brazil have dropped into the meetings to see what is going on, and there is genuine interest in applying the methods and lessons from the Oregon Trail chapter to online DeMolay meetings around the world. As Bjorn Johnson puts it, “Oregon is the heart of a new wave of DeMolay, and I’m a fi rm believer in it.”
For Rocky Zachary, the value in the Online Chapter lies in the connections he has made and the connections he is facilitating between other members. Imagining the “found” family that he has cultivated within DeMolay, he says; “DeMolay should be a home away from home. DeMolay should be a home even when you don’t have a home. Your brothers and Mom and Dad advisors should be family even when you don’t have one.” The Oregon Trail Chapter is a home that can follow you wherever you go, an ongoing connection to the brotherhood of DeMolay, in spite of physical distance.

Recognizing donors who support Oregon Masonic Charities
Rooted in Masonic values, we believe every act of generosity holds the power to shape the future. That’s why we’re proud to introduce two new giving societies— e 1851 Society and e Legacy Society—honoring those who give with purpose and vision to support the charitable work of Oregon Masonic Charities, both today and for generations to come.

Membership begins at just $100 per year—less than $10
a month—and over time, unlocks exclusive recognition and unique experiences.
e Legacy Society honors those who include Oregon Masonic Charities in their will, trust, or estate plans. These thoughtful commitments provide a lasting foundation for the future, ensuring that our shared values—relief, education, and service continue to thrive.
MASONRY HELPED ME GROW AS A PERSON. MY BROTHERS DEMONSTRATED RESPECTING ALL PEOPLE AND I STRIVE TO EMULATE THAT. MY DRIVING FORCE IS TO GIVE BACK. BY DONATING TIME, RESOURCES, AND SUPPORT, I AIM TO SUPPORT MASONS AND OUR MASONIC FAMILY.

Culture, Assessment, & Positive Change
by R.W.B. Eric M. Young, Senior Grand Deacon
The members of this Long Range Planning Committee represent a diverse cross section of Masonry in Oregon. Th is committee represents many years of Masonic experience. We are honored to serve and have the goal of creating a valuable tool to assist in producing positive change within our jurisdiction.
The Long Range Planning Committee has been meeting via Zoom on a monthly basis. Our diverse locations makes the use of Zoom meetings and Google Docs the most efficient and cost effective way of communication and collaboration.
After taking on the diverse and expansive subject of Lodge culture, we narrowed our efforts into creating an interactive Lodge document that can assist Lodges in assessing their culture. Identifying the problem is the fi rst step in fi xing it. Th is interactive Lodge assessment tool will identify areas within the Lodge that need focused effort or improvement.
Next, the tool will suggest practical ways for the Lodge to respond to the challenges that they have identified. Those activities, when built into a Lodge 3- to 5-year action plan, create a road map for positive change and creating a constructive culture within the Lodge.
The subject of Lodge culture has become a focus point that many Lodges are discussing and looking for assistance with. The Masonic day of training spent a great deal of time discussing this topic. Discussion among Brothers is the start. It is our hope that Lodges will use these conversations to facilitate Brothers stepping up and committing to lead their Lodges in this exercise of assessment and improvement.
As of the writing of this report, the committee is compiling reports and working on conclusions, and next steps. We are hopeful that a fi nal product will be rolled out to the Lodges soon.
I commend the members of this committee for their diligence and hard work. The members of this committee have shown their dedication to Oregon Freemasonry by spending many of hours of discussion and work on this project.
You Were There for Your Degree Will You Be There for Theirs?
By W.B. Dale B. Palileo, Grand Lecturer
We all say we love the Craft. We say Brotherhood matters. We say we want our Lodge to grow, to thrive, to stand tall for the next generation.
And yet when it comes time for a Degree conferral — when a man takes the biggest step in his Masonic journey — the sidelines are half-empty. The excuses roll in: Busy. Tired. Already seen it. They won’t miss me.
And maybe some of those reasons are real. Life gets in the way. Work piles up. Family demands attention. Nobody’s saying those things don’t matter. They do, but far too often, it’s not that we can’t come, it’s that we choose not to.
We tell ourselves it’s no big deal. That someone else will cover it. That our presence isn’t going to make or break the night. But it does. It matters. Maybe more than anything else
we do. Let’s break it down, in no uncertain terms, why your presence matters more than you realize.
THE CANDIDATE’S FIRST IMPRESSION IS EVERYTHING
Picture this: A man stands at the altar, hoodwinked, heart pounding. He’s vulnerable. Trusting. Unsure.
And when the hoodwink is lifted, what does he see? A few scattered faces looking bored, or a full room, shoulder-toshoulder, Brothers standing tall to welcome him in?
That first sight matters. It sets the tone for everything that follows. When he sees a packed room, it tells him something powerful: “This is real. These men showed up for me, for the Craft, for something bigger than themselves.”
When the room is empty, it sends a message too: “Maybe this isn’t as important as they said it was.”
That moment, that first sight, shapes a Mason’s entire perception of the Craft. It tells him everything about what he just pledged himself to. It either affirms that Masonry is alive, vibrant, and worth devoting his life to, or it leaves a seed of disappointment he may never fully uproot.
We only get one shot to give a candidate that first moment. One. Why would we ever waste it?
IT REMINDS YOU WHY YOU TOOK THE OBLIGATION IN THE FIRST PLACE
It’s easy to forget. Over time, the Degrees blur together. The memory of your own first steps gets buried under meetings, minutes, and motions. But when you stand on the sidelines and watch a man take his obligations, something stirs inside you if you’re paying attention. You remember what it felt like. You remember the hope, the excitement, the fear, the pride. You remember why you did this, and you realize that journey isn’t finished. It's still unfolding, right there in front of you — not just in him, but in you too.
Masonry isn’t something you join once and forget. It’s something you live, EVERYDAY, or else you slowly stop living it at all. And sometimes, all it takes to wake you back up... is showing up.
him to feel that power, that welcome, that charge in the air. Be the Brother you hope is there for the ones you love.
YOU WILL LEARN SOMETHING IF YOU’RE WILLING TO LISTEN
You think you’ve heard it all before? Good. Now hear it again as the man you are today. Because here’s the secret: The Ritual never changes. You do.
Freemasonry doesn’t repeat itself because it’s stagnant. It repeats itself because you are supposed to grow. You’re not the same man you were when you first heard those words. You’ve been through more. You’ve struggled, succeeded, failed, grown. You bring different eyes, different ears, a different heart to the Degrees every time you attend. And if you really listen — not with boredom, but with curiosity — you’ll hear something you missed. A new layer. A deeper truth. A quiet challenge you weren’t ready for before.
THIS IS REAL. THESE MEN SHOWED UP FOR ME, FOR THE CRAFT, FOR SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THEMSELVES.
YOU BECOME PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER EVEN IF YOU DON’T SAY A WORD
You don’t have to be on stage to matter. You don’t have to deliver a lecture to make a difference. You don’t even have to open your mouth.
Just standing there, just being there, you are doing something important. You are part of a moment that Brother will remember for the rest of his life. You are part of the story he will tell — about the night he became a Mason.
You might be a face he can’t name. You might be a handshake he barely remembers. But your presence will be felt. The Lodge feels different when it’s full. The energy is different. The whole experience lifts when the room is alive. And someday, when it’s your son, your nephew, your friend at that altar... you’ll want every chair filled too. You’ll want
Freemasonry isn’t static. It’s alive. And if you think you’re too advanced, too busy, or too important to sit and listen, maybe that’s exactly when you need it most.
THE BOTTOM LINE
It’s easy to talk about Brotherhood. It’s easy to say you care about the Craft. It’s easy to post a square and compass on your Facebook page.
Showing up is harder, and that’s why it matters more. No degree team can succeed without support. No candidate becomes a strong Mason in a vacuum. No Lodge thrives on the backs of a few tired volunteers. It takes all of us. And it starts with the simple, stubborn, powerful decision to just be there.
You won’t get a trophy. You won’t get your name in the minutes. You won’t get public applause. But you’ll get something better: the knowledge that you were part of something real. That you honored your obligation. That you helped build a Mason’s future — and in doing so, strengthened your own.
So the next time a Degree night comes around, don’t make excuses. Make history. Stand up. Show up. Be the Brother you promised you would be. Because if we don’t show up for each other, then who will?

“The Home”
The Robert M. Richmond Memorial Library and Museum is proud to unveil its newest exhibit: "The Home."
Th is compelling display tells the story of the Masonic and Eastern Star Home of Oregon—from its founding, through its daily life and operations, to its eventual closure in the 1990s. For decades, The Home was a sanctuary for Brothers, Sisters, and orphans who had nowhere else to turn. Within its walls, residents found not just shelter, but dignity, community, and care. Adults lived out their golden years with access to food, medical support, and companionship. Orphans were given more than a roof—they were given a fresh start and a future, thanks to the generosity and vision of the Masonic family.
Come explore the legacy of The Home—a powerful testament to Masonic charity and compassion.
You are invited to visit the Robert M. Richmond Memorial Library and Museum to access Masonic and Lodge history.
Open for tours and visits by appointment. Please call in advance.
