Bikes for Books

Brothers,

Once again it's time to support our local children in the Bikes for Books program. Last year we doubled our support for our schools and contributed 8 bicycles to High Desert Middle School in Globe and Lee Kornegy School in Miami. After discussion at the last meeting, it was decided that the need is greater at the Elementary School level where the kids are developing their reading skills. We are not abandoning the middle schools and plan on providing 2 bikes apiece like in previous years. We would like to provide 3 bikes apiece to the elementary schools in Globe and Miami.

Brothers, last year the bikes were donated by multiple Brothers in the lodge so the net cost to the lodge was zero. We would like to extend an invitation to all the members of White Mountain Lodge #3 to donate the equivalent of one bike to cover the cost of the bikes. The more bikes that are donated, the more bikes we can provide to the schools. The cost of the bikes are $65 (27" for middle schools) and $45 (20" for elementary schools). Reading is so important skill for a child to succeed. The child of today may be our Brother or Sister of tomorrow. BTW, make out checks to the Lodge and they will be forwarded to the Masonic Foundation for Children which is a non-profit 501c3 organization and they will provide you with a tax deductable receipt (the bikes are donated by them).

Fraternally,

Bill Greenen

Public Education Committee Member

Something to Think About

 

Aesop Fables

 Truth and the Traveler
 
 A WAYFARING MAN, traveling in the desert, met a woman standing alone and terribly dejected.
 
 He inquired of her, "Who art thou?"
 
 "My name is Truth," she replied.
 
 "And for what cause," he asked, "have you left thecity to dwell alone here in the wilderness?"
 
 She made answer: "Because in former times, falsehood was with few, but is now with all men."
 
 
 The Manslayer
 
 A MAN committed a murder, and was pursued by the relations of the man whom he murdered.
 
 On his reaching the river Nile he saw a lion on its bank and being fearfully afraid, climbed up a tree.
 
 He found a serpent in the upper branches of the tree, and again being greatly alarmed, he threw himself into the river, where a crocodile caught him and ate him.
 
 Thus the earth, the air, and the water alike refused shelter to a murderer.
