DIVISIONAL STRUCTURE  OF GRAND LODGE

Beginning September 28, the California Masonic Lodges will be divided into nine Divisions, rather than the current five.  Each Division will have between 20 and 60 Lodges.  Our L.A. Masonic Service Bureau Lodges in the greater Los Angeles area will be split between two of the Divisions.  Although renumbered, the existing Lodge Districts will remain essentially the same at this time.

Division V, headed by AGL Vernon Dandridge, will include the Lodges in the northwest Los Angeles City and Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties.  Division VII, led by AGL Douglas Eichen, will cover the Lodges in the northeast  and southern Los Angeles City and County areas,  and all of Orange County.


Hope to see you at Grand Lodge!
