Good afternoon brothers!

Our lodge is trying something new to raise money for the Masonic Home for Children. We could use a little help. We are doing a Canoe Kayak Race at Goat Island in Cramerton. We are hoping this will show the community more of what we are about and not only raise money for charity but also bring awareness to our fraternity. The race is Saturday morning October 7 at Goat Island in Cramerton. To make this event successfu, we will need some volunteers as follows:

4 people Friday evening Oct 6 to help pass out race packets.

6 people Saturday evening Oct 7 to help pass out packets and help people register.

3 people who own a kayak or canoe on the river as monitors.

3 people at the boat ramp for starting and finishing

2 people at the finish line tracking finishers.

AND JUST AS IMPORTANT - share this link to your social media pages if you have one. THis will help tremendously to get the word out.

Brethren!! We are excited to announce that Lowell lodge is organizing a Canoe Kayak race as a fun way to raise money for the Oxford Childrens Home and the Gold Star Teen Adventures program. The Gold Star program helps kids who have lost a parent while serving in the military.

This community wide event is being held on October 7, 2023 at Goat Island in Cramerton. We are being assisted by Belmont 627 and South Fork 462. This event has 2 purposes - one to raise money for our charity and two to show our community what we are all about.  We hope you will help this to be a successful event.
