A new feature of the site is the calendar of Masonic events for the Findlay Masonic Complex. The calendar will allow for events to be updated as changes or dates occur. Please send an email to findlaycouncil@gmail.com to request that a Masonic event be listed.
The work for the Council is still underway for our support of the Diabetic Kids Fund raising for Camp Berry here in Findlay. Planning is ongoing for fund raising events to include a dinner night at the Max and Erma's restaurant, guest speakers at the Masonic Complex and a CAKE (Community Awareness for Kids Education) booth at the Wal-Mart locations as we did last year. Our diabetic kids like CAKE. These events provide an opportunity to inform and educate the public of our support for the Findlay area kids that are diagnosed with diabetes so that they may attend Camp Berry to learn how to live with the disease and gain self-confidence. Our theme for this year is “Hugs & Kisses”.
Our regular stated meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month. During this Council year, we have had guest speakers, a magician and presentations before each of our meetings at the carry in dinner starting at 6:15pm. If you have not attended, you have not only missed great food but also great fellowship, fun and interesting presentations. The recent presentation was on Flag City Honor Flight established in 2010, a non-profit organization dedicated to sending Hancock County and regional veterans to Washington D.C. to see the memorials built and dedicated in their honor. If you are a veteran or know of a veteran, please visit http://flagcityhonorflight.org/ for more information or to volunteer as a guardian on a flight.
The Northwest Ohio York Rite Festival will be held at the Findlay Masonic Complex on Saturday, May 14th beginning at 8:00am. This is an opportunity to reach out to our fellow brothers who have not yet joined us and our Council. See the calendar for more details.
In closing, I thank all the Companions for the opportunity to serve Findlay Council, and yes One Companion can make a difference.
May you have a blessed spring and Easter,
Ron Drebert
Illustrious Master
