Freemason

Following his attendance at the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Japan, Most Worshipful Brother Garrett S. Chan, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of California, arranged a private visit to Taiwan and paid a fraternal call upon the Grand Lodge of China.
It is understood that while former Grand Masters of California have visited Taiwan in the past, Most Worshipful Brother Garrett S. Chan is the first sitting Grand Master of California to make such a visit during his term of office, rendering this occasion particularly meaningful.

During his stay in Taipei, MW Bro. Chan and his lady, Mrs. Jo May Chan, were most cordially received by Most Worshipful Grand Master Tommy Huang, accompanied by several Past Grand Masters, senior Brethren, and Grand Officers. The gathering was marked by genuine warmth and fellowship, offering a valuable occasion to renew fraternal bonds, exchange goodwill, and further strengthen the longstanding ties between the two Grand Lodges.

Although the visit was of a private nature, it reflected the natural continuity of international Masonic fellowship and mutual respect, and has laid a solid foundation for deeper interaction and cooperation between the two Grand Lodges in the years to come.

加州美生總會總會長 Garrett S. Chan 於出席日本總會年會後，特別安排私人行程來台，並親臨中國美生總會進行友好訪問。

據了解，過去雖曾有加州總會前任總會長訪問台灣，然此次由現任總會長任內親自蒞訪，尚屬首次，使本次會晤更具特殊意義。

訪問期間，Garrett 總會長偕同夫人 JoMay 於台北受到本會總會長黃通顯伉儷，以及多位前總會長與資深總會職員兄弟的誠摯接待。整體交流氣氛溫潤而融洽，兄弟間情誼自然流動，不僅深化彼此聯繫，也進一步鞏固兩總會長年建立的深厚友誼。

此次來訪雖屬私人行程，卻充分展現出國際美生情誼跨越地域的延續與真誠互動，亦為未來兩地總會之間更密切的交流與合作，奠定穩固而正面的基礎。
