Brother John Darrow, District Director MSID Program, DDGM Scott Kinney, Staff Officer Nicholas Glassman & AGL Mark Loughran
On December 9th 2018 Deposit Lodge #396 held their Sunday Breakfast and hosted the Southern Tier Masonic District’s Child Safety Identification Program. Many children were processed and those families are now extremely happy to know that their kids now have a “safety net” in case of the unexpected or unimaginable!
The brothers of Deposit Lodge were wonderful hosts - welcoming all their guests and children! I personally encourage everyone to visit the Deposit Lodge as it’s an early lodge who’s charter was signed by none other than DeWitt Clinton, our 14 time Past Grand Master and “Father of the Erie Canal!”
Parallel to the Deposit event, Aiello's Italian Restaurant in Whitney Point is hosting “Photos with Santa” & The Masonic Child ID Program this coming Wednesday night (12/19/18) from 5PM-8PM. A huge “Thank You” goes out to our Masonic Brothers, Charles and Vincent Aiello for volunteering to host the event and their generous contribution to the Southern Tier MSID Program – This program is completely funded by private donations.
Brothers Carl Northrop and Nicholas Glassman of Round Hill Lodge #533, along with Rob Schoonmaker and Marty DeVault (Santa Clause) of St. Mark’s Lodge #435 were also on hand to volunteer.
Please consider giving just a little bit of your time to help the MSID Program. Just ask any Brother who has volunteered in the past and they’ll tell you from experience – “When you look at yourself in the mirror, you’ll see the true reflection of an upright man and Mason!"
