Masonic Life Network

In the wake of the devastating forces that pounded Houston and the surrounding areas at the end of August,   Masons and the community in the Riverside area have donated numerous boxes of clothes,  food, hygiene items, toys, and  bedding to go to the victims.    Coupled with the  amazing  generosity of  Riverside Harley-Davidson and  Harley dealerships in Texas who are coordinating the transportation of  these donations to the Red Cross ,   there will be some relief .       More was  added  from  donations thru Orange Valley Lodge .  All was shipped to Texas on   9-11.

Congratulations to BROTHER Leaghty, U.S. Marine corps. Raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason at Oasis of Mara lodge #735
