Promoting the Fraternity across the World
On Saturday 22nd July in the stunning grounds of the Royal Masonic School for Girls, Rickmansworth, both Middlesex and Hertfordshire Provinces will be joining together in this Tercentenary year to run a joint Grand Family Fete from 12 noon until 4.30pm.
Freemasons’ charitable donations are second only to the National Lottery in terms of the amount given. Since 2010, the 40 members of the Dartmoor Lodge have given more than £15,000 to local organisations and individuals, all raised from their own pockets and social events.
Ceres Lodge of the Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire Province have made a wonderful gift of £1,950 to Cynthia Spencer Hospice. Immediate Past Master of Ceres Lodge, Richard Cooke handed the donation to Hospice Fundraising Manager John Helm and Practice Development Lead Amanda Taylor at a White Table meeting at Freemason’s Hall last week, following a talk on the modern Hospice movement and Cynthia Spencer Hospice.
Freemasons have raised more than $4300 for a worthwhile cause. The Wimmera Combined Freemason Lodges and young Freemasons group West Wimmera Region Blue Lounge Social Club presented Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre with a cheque for $2307 from the recent garage sale held at Horsham Masonic Centre.
Kenlis Lodge No.1267, Pillar Lodge No.7615, Sewell Lodge No.421, Scawfell Lodge No.1397 and Dent Lodge No.216 all contributed to raise a total of £250, which was presented by some of the Lodge members to Linda Hewitt and Stella Walsh representatives from Hospice at Home.
