Masons begin effort to contribute to local charities

By Howard B. Owens

Last week, the Batavia Masons presented Paul and Bridget Ohlson with a $500 check to support their Cara-A-Van Ministries.

"We were proud to be able to make a small contribution to such a worthy cause," said Jim Rosenbeck (handing the check to Paul), Master of Lodge #475 of the Free and Accepted Masons. 

"Our lodge has decided to begin regularly identifying worthy causes within the community to financially support," Rosenbeck added. "With membership in all community service organizations dwindling, we feel that this is one way that we can help make a difference in Batavia."

Two great local organizations, great to see one helping the other, Paul and Bridget are great people doing Gods will, and my Brother Masons doing the same so proud to know both!

Yes. And a woman's auxiliary, though I'm not really clear if there is DeMolay (I think not) and Rainbow Girls (think so). (I did a year in DeMolay when I was a freshman in HS.)
