Allen Lodge,
and many of the Allen Lodge Brothers and their wives perform many Charitable Activities
and
Good Works
in the Allen Community every year. Just some of these activities
include:
Providing Scholarships to both Allen and Lovejoy Graduating High School Seniors. We support our Allen Schools through the "Fantastic Teeth Club" Program. We
support our Allen schools through the "Take Time to Read"
Program. We support the Community by sponsoring three "Gift of Life"
Blood Drives every year. We support the Community through the "Keep
Allen Beautiful" Trash Pick-Up Program (We pick up trash four times a year). We recognize a non-Mason who has distinguished themselves in their
service to the Community by presenting a
"Community Builder Award". We recognize a non-Mason Educator who has distinguished themselves
in their service to Educational Activities by presenting a "Lamar Award". We support the
Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and Shrine Hospitals by making monetary
donations
and helping to refer potential patients.
We ask Lodge
members to complete and turn in our
Allen Lodge
Charitable Activities Form
when they
perform
Charitable Activities and Good Works in the Allen Community that they do not use
as Income Tax Deductions. For example, when volunteering, we ask the
Brother to wear something with a Square & Compass which identifies
them as a Mason.
This year we gave back almost $ 22,000 to the community! |
