1920's Gatsby Gala Closes Out The Sessions
What a spectacular celebration we had at the Gatsby Gala hosted by the Sciots newest Pyramid, Los Angeles 59, (LA59 Sciots)! We extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who played a part in organizing this unforgettable event, as well as all those who attended and celebrated with us at the party. The ambiance was truly enchanting, with guests elegantly adorned in glamorous 1920s attire, walking the red carpet through a captivating step and repeat entrance. The culinary experience was exceptional, reminiscent of a gourmet feast at a five-star restaurant. The five-piece band set the perfect tone with their sensational performance, while the presence of the giggling and smiling cigar girls added a delightful touch of charm. As the evening progressed, the back parlor transformed into a vibrant speakeasy, with cheers of excitement echoing through the air as lucky winners were announced. The exquisite decor and an open bar provided an enchanting atmosphere throughout the night. Be sure to flip through all the pictures below to relish the captivating moments captured in the lively snapshots.
As we move forward, let us remember the words of our Masonic forefathers, who reminded us that the pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement is a lifelong journey, and that our commitment to the ideals of our craft extends far beyond the walls of our lodge.
In parting, I leave you with the words of the great Masonic philosopher, Manly P. Hall, who said, "The Masonic fraternity is one of the most noble and praiseworthy institutions that has ever been founded. It teaches the great truth that human brotherhood is more important than national sovereignty, and that the welfare of mankind is of greater moment than the wealth of nations."
Fraternally yours,
Frank Barbano, Past Toparch 2022
