Skreeech of the FMRC's Gulfcoast Travelers Chapter of Galveston,
Texas |
It's been a busy
couple days down here on Galveston Island... The annual
Lonestar Rally has been going on since Thursday and will wrap
up tomorrow. The Lonestar Rally is the largest AMA sanctioned
rally in the country.
Brother Melvin Green and I were able to secure a booth for the
Shriners and FMRC to come out and do some volunteer work and
collect donations for the Shrine Burn Hospital located on the
island. We set up shop with both our Shrine and FMRC
information and regalia about the booth. I am actually almost
out of business cards as is Dennis!
We have meet alot of brothers out there who fell in love with
out shield and I am sure will be joining our organization very
soon. We were also able to spread the word about Masonry to
the public and dispell some myths about the Craft. Best
part... we gave out 10 petitions for the blue lodge, and 4 for
the Shrine over the past couple days!

While there, we met this fella!! He fed us
all weekend. Why you ask... he was a Master Mason from Lebenon!!
Him and his brother had food booths there. |

|
Needless to say, we treated both brothers
to Gulf Coast Travlers patches as well as FMRC pins and El Mina
Potentate pins! They were really happy.. |

When is was all said and done.. we had
raised over $3500.00 for the Shriners Burn Hospital in Galveston.. |
