Brethren,
Our Grand Lodge’s participation in the Hands-on-D.C. work-a-thon, on Saturday, April 26th, 2008 was a stunning success! A strong showing from across the jurisdiction was evident with volunteers turning out from many lodges, including Naval No. 4, William R. Singleton-Hope-Lebanon No.7, Fraternity No. 54, and La France No. 93. Brethren from Social Lodge No. 1, under the jurisdiction of the M.W. Prince Hall Grand Lodge, also lent their helping hands.
Worshipful Brother Walter R. Hoenes, secretary of Fraternity Lodge No. 54, successfully recruited members of his college fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon (SigEp), to participate on the DC Freemasons team. Thanks go out to the George Washington University chapter of SigEp, which comprised the second largest group in attendance, in helping us make Stuart-Hobson MHS a great learning facility for 400 D.C. students.
Refurbishing projects completed include:
- Landscaping of school grounds.
- Painting: more than 75 classroom doors, basketball court markings, lines on the baseball diamond, the fence along the playground and parking space lines and repainting the basement mural.
- Removing debris and trash in the outside courtyard
- Cleaning and organizing of the custodial storage as well as utility closets.
Special thanks to Brother Dustin Rawlins, the Grand Master’s Assistant for Educational Affairs for heading up our volunteer efforts and coordinating with the staff of Hands-on-D.C. to make everything possible.
