Meet Santa Claus, Toys-for-Tots, and Food Drive Event

On December 4th we had our first ever Toys For Tots and Food Drive event. We gave free pictures with Santa Claus for everyone who brought an unwrapped toy for the Toys-for-Tots campaign and/or some canned food for Betty Lou’s Pantry in Coopersburg. The Lodge was decorated inside and out for Christmas, with music, refreshments and a generally festive atmosphere. We even had some reindeer for the event. (Well, not really reindeer, but alpacas with fake reindeer antlers)

It was a coordinated effort with many of the Lodge brothers and their families contributing their time, decorations and cookies. Special thanks to the Southern Lehigh Key Club for their generous donations of food and toys and the Cub Scouts for their help and for adding life to the party.

It was a fun way to make a difference in the lives of some less fortunate people.

All donations of toys, food, and cash are greatly appreciated!

I would like to offer my congratulations to Rob Brink, P.M., Ray Lapp, P.M. and all of the officers and members that worked so hard to make this a great event. I hope we can make this an annual affair. I believe that any time we “reach out” to the community it benefits Freemasonry in general and our lodge in this area. Thanks for a great job.
