Dear Editor:
In 1717 virtuous and praiseworthy men guided by the purest principal of our fraternity Morality, Charity and Brotherly Love, considered these principal for everyone equally, and established the 1st Grand Lodge of Free and Accepting Mason for the just application of the same.
Since then, Masons around the world have outdone themselves helping others, detecting the philosophical needs of our society, gathering the philanthropic assets and finally addressing the charitable issues hands on.
One of our ongoing efforts is directed to our local elderly community. These folks are on a fixed income and have paid their dues in life. With your donation, we will be distributing Christmas baskets of unperishables and canned goods to our older generation. Unfortunately the percentage of the elderly is always on the rise and this our membership has decline over the years, our charitable spirit prevails in our hearts. With your help this local project will be a success.
Please contact us at this address: Masonic Temple, Paterson Plank Road, Secaucus, NJ 07094 or call at 201-864-4892 for further information and for arranging the collection of goods.
