Have you watched Masonic Improvements interview with the one and only R.W. Roberto M Sanchez?We have been hearing so much about R.W. Roberto M. Sanchez, but who is the man behind the , who is the man spilling all the “Tea”? Well, first I would invite you to watch our interview with him on Masonic Improvement.We have his full resume and bio available on a Google Drive http://tinyurl.com/j4hdxxyy; but here is a very short account by comparison of what's on his bio. So here is the “tea” on the guy spilling the “tea”. Brother Sanchez is an accomplished academic with 5 degrees including a Doctorate of Divinity and Theology, and an MBA with a concentration in Leadership. Brother Sanchez is also an Ordained Minister, an apostolic Priest, and Bishop of different catholic lineages. He is a regulatory consultant for the Rail industry by trade. He is a family man and proud father of a daughter and son whom he raises with his wife – a native Texan.Masonically, R.W. Sanchez's resume makes me feel like I'm standing still. He is a Past Grand Master and the sitting Grand Chancellor for the Gran Logis del Estado de Mexico. He is the sitting Grand Generalissimo of the Grand Commandery of Hawaii, He is the sitting Grand Conductor of the Council of the Grand Council of Texas R. &S.M., He is the 1st Vice President of High Twelve International, He is the Most Eminent Grand Master of the Royal Order of Knights Occidental, He is the Grand Bung of the Americas of Ye Antient Order of Corks, He is the Grand 2nd Herald for the National High Council of the SRICF. He is the Grand Commander for the Adonhiramite Rite, the Brazilian Rite, and the French Rite for North America. In Texas, he is a Past Master of 3 different lodges, served as DDGM in 2013, served on the Fraternal Relations Committee for a 7-year term, and is the Grand Representative for the Grand Lodge of Sweden near the Grand Lodge of Texas. And about 20 other pages worth of accolades and honors. Again, I invite you to listen to our podcast with R.W. Brother Sanchez and read his full bio and resume. But for now, that's the “tea” on the lightning rod spilling the tea. -----------------------------------
Ainslie, Mike, and Toby are all experienced Odd Fellows. They like to *think* they have a handle on what new members are looking for, but do they really? To test that theory, they invited Josh Dandurand from Oregon and Randy & Caylee Chorrushi from West Virginia to come on the podcast and offer their insights. All three are members who have joined within the last six months so their hot takes are still burning hot. The conversation ranges from how degrees are performed to the lack of Odd Fellows swag to the controversial Supreme Being requirement. All three new members have some great ideas and insights to share. Maybe the old dogs can learn some new tricks from them. Pueblo Lodge #8 in Colorado gets this episode's Shoutout for their excellent renovation work and community engagement. The Odd Podge has Ainslie sharing about his trip to the Illinois Grand Sessions where he will be made a DDGM, Mike sharing his happiness with how active his new lodge members are and giving a preview of the Oddlympiad, a series of outdoor games with Odd twists. Randy and Caylee talk about their excitement at having earned their Third Degrees so they can attend the West Virginia Grand Sessions. Josh expresses his gratitude for being included in the podcast and gives a preview of his efforts to bring an AMOS Sanctorum to his part of Oregon. Toby gloats over the Seattle Mariners' first postseason appearance in twenty-one years and also previews his trip to the Idaho Grand Sessions.

Hello! On this episode, we’re the guests. Bro. Jeff Borosky, DDGM of PA’s 59th Masonic District, invited us to be a part of their monthly Speaker Series on Zoom and we were happy to be a part of the event. Right Worshipful Junior Grand Warden Robert D. Brink and several Brothers from the district attended and participated in the discussion. Even though we meandered toward the typical gripes about the state of the Craft at times, it was a great conversation, with hints of brightness for the future. After the interview, we hear another fantastic segment from Dutchy Doug, the Masonic Lite News, and wrap in the standard form. This episode was brought to you by the letter G, the number 5, and the support of heavily reinforced chairs. [00:00:00] Introductions [00:9:00] First break, brought to you by George J.

Another great episode with R:. W:. Jim Rumsey. We get deep into our discussion question about if a unified ritual is important. Brother Jim goes over his approach to conducting forum and exams.
