Freemasons Donate School Supplies

Holyrood Lodge No. 257 Free and Accepted Masons continues their community service activities on Thursday September 24, 2009 with a donation of thirty (30) Backpacks filled with School Supplies to Mrs. Diane Farmer, Principal of Woodbridge Elementary School in Town N’ Country. This event is the kick-off for the 2009-2010 school year for parents, teachers, students, and the community.

The Freemasons at Holyrood Lodge have been collecting supplies for the students since April and will be used for new and deserving children who need supplies to help with their education. The Lodge last year adopted a fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Ashley Meneese, and enjoyed assisting her class with numerous room supplies and materials, Circus tickets for the incentive reading program, end of school pizza party, and special reading area.

Brother Don Barker represented the Lodge due to an Entered Apprentice degree being conducted on the same night. As Masons we are taught to give back to the communities we live in and charity begins with helping others, more especially children. We welcome everyone back to school and wish all a very successful school year. Masons are all about C.A.R.E., Commitment, Attitude, Resources, and Enthusiasm.
