Lewisville Lodge No. 201 A.F.&A.M. "Race for the Children"

As we enter into our Sixth year with “Race for the Children”, we are proud to say that past year’s races were a tremendous success. We have increased race participants each and every year, and since its inception, the race has raised over $20,000 for these worthy causes.
 
The efforts of the Scottish Rite Hospital for Children to help children with orthopedic needs and dyslexia, at no charge to the families, are known worldwide and certainly worthy of our support.
 
For more information about the Hospital, you may visit their web site at www.tsrhc.org.

Garden Oaks #1306 Brisket Sale

July 25, 2010


Greeting, Friends, Neighbors, Brethren. I come to you once more. It is that time of the year where our Lodge, Garden Oaks #1306, has its Annual Brisket Sale Fund Raiser for the Labor Day weekend. I wish to solicit your help as in the past to help me make this even bigger than last year, where we were able to sell over 140 briskets and I was informed that it would be difficult to sell that many and to which I replied, “Just Hide and Watch.”

Garden Oaks Lodge turns out one of the best tasting briskets you can get your hands on and is a great fund raiser. So I would like to ask if you could please buy one brisket for your family and one to be donated to those that are going through some difficult times. Garden Oaks works with a food bank that we can use for your donation or if you prefer, we can donate it to the Star of Hope Mission, which is what we have done before.

Please help us if you can, and may the blessings of heaven rest upon you. The briskets are trimmed, rubbed, smoked and slowly cooked and they weigh any where from 10 to 12 lbs. on average. Priced as last time $45.00 each. Please help us beat our fund raiser sales from last year!

God Bless.

Constantine Lodge #13 Masonic Service Awards

My Dear Brethren:

 

The WM has scheduled a date for the Service Award Presentations well enough in advance so that all Honorees and their Guests will be able to make their plans to be present. This is a very important event in the lives of each Brother to be honoreed and we want everything to be in order. The date and time was selected because the weather will not be as hot, to prevent the least amount of Masonic conflicts and to give the Brethren to be honored enough time to return to their homes prior to darkness.

The date and time for this auspicious event will be Saturday, September 25, 2010 at 2:00 P. M.

The list of Brethren to be honored are as follows:

Brother Leo Williams - 60 years

Brother Billy Masters - 50 years

Brother John R Armstrong - 50 years

Brother Jackie D Smith - 50 years


Would you PLEASE mark your calendars and make every effort to be present. We will be looking forward to being with you on Saturday, September 25, 2010, Come early and let's enjoy the Fellowship.:-)

R H Bob Waters, Secretary

Food Drive- McAllen Lodge #1110

McAllen Lodge #1110 will be making another donation to the Rio Grande Food Bank this Friday.  We would like to thank everyone who donated food and supported this worthwhile service.  We encourage all our brothers, who are in the area, to continue dropping off unused food items at the Masonic Temple in McAllen.  We will be taking food donations every Monday night and at every stated meeting (third Tuesday of the month).  We hope to keep donating food to the Rio Grande Food Bank throughout our new Masonic year.
