Ways to give this year

Pick up where the Lodge left off

  • Youth and church education. Give an evening to a youth program or help chaperone a trip.
  • Lights Spectacular. Take a booth shift in November or December. Shifts are short and sociable.
  • Blanco County Fair and Rodeo. Sign up for a fair shift; a half day is a real contribution.
  • Community meals and fundraisers. Cook, serve or clean up at a church or community meal.
  • Christmas outreach. Help build the Living Nativity or shop for a family at Christmas.
  • Neighbors in need. Check on an elderly neighbor. An hour fixing a door counts.
  • Other service. Any service done as a Mason counts. Record it and it will be reported.

Whatever you do, record it. Members can enter hours, miles and gifts in the members area in about a minute, or reply to the Secretary's monthly email. Both go into the same record and into the Lodge's annual report.
