'Guest Fund' for Masonic Homes Needs Support of All Brethren The Gu es t Fund-to assis t our Guests at the Masonic Homes at Elizabethtown-must h ave the support of every M ason in this Jurisdiction to reach the goal of $250,000. Formerly known as the Christmas, Entertainment and Recreational Fund, the name was changed to Guest Fund since every dollar donated goes to the benefit of our Guests- the older folks,
the children a nd the boys at Patton M asonic Sch ool. Many M asons in the past believed that moneys collected merely bought presents and e ntertainment at Christmas. This is far from t h e fact. Without this important money, your Masonic Homes would be just another institution.
SPECIAL ISSUE The M asonic Homes at Elizabethtown are featured- showing the beauty of the H o mes a nd the continued n eed to keep it a H ome for our Guests a nd not just another institution.
