by
Brethren,   FYI-Very-Very important request!
Our Second Erie District, Masonic Military Outreach and Veterans Affairs Chairman, Brother David Peters has set up a date at the Veterans Hospital to distribute items that were purchased through our Masonic Brotherhood Fund for our Veteran’s that are currently patients at the Veterans Hospital on Bailey Ave.
 
Brother Dave needs our help distributing the items; please read his message and request and then share with the Brethren in our lodges.
Let’s get over to the hospital and show our Veterans that we Mason’s care dearly for them and support them–I hope to see you all there.
Wear your Apron, show your pride in Masonry
Thank you Brother Peters for all you do for our Veterans;
Fraternally, Your Brother
