Masonry related info- Great Masonic News

[admin]

This sounds like the kinds of stuff we need to be involved in. What do you think? Subject: [Masonry related info] Great Masonic News! Brethren: This is the kind of thing that we, as Masons, need to do more of! Hopefully, spreading news like this on our list which reaches Masons in all 50 states AND 22 foreign countries, will encourage other Brothers to do the same. If your Lodge has something like this which really puts Masonry in a great light, please let me share it with the thousands of other Brothers on this list from around the world! Best Wishes from Euless, Texas!

As you had heard on the news all over at least the United States on January 12th there were 2 young boys that were found that had been abducted (one was that past Monday, the other 4 1/2 years earlier). During that week of that abduction our Public Relations Masonic Children's Foundation Coordinator had done a GREAT job promoting our Child Identification Protection (MOCHIP) and advertising the events that were scheduled for this past Saturday there were 5 MOCHIP events set up in the state with 2 of them being with in 10 miles of where the boys were recovered found where over 600 children were processed. The one event had 370 children, the other had 259 children, the other 3 were in the Kansas City area one was cancelled do to the weather, the other two had 456, and 111. In one day we processed 1,196 children. One event had a radio station that came by and interviewed people the other event had a couple of tv stations that stopped by in the St. Louis area, one of the events in the KC area had a tv station that stopped by. The people of St. Louis and Kansas City area's (along with therest of the state) got to find out about Masonry and seen it at its best this weekend. Trust me they knew who was sponsoring these events. Everyone I talked to that was working at one of these events all said when they leftthey were really feeling good about what they had done that day. For any jurisdiction that don't have a CHIP event they really should consider getting one. Once again like to thank the PR person RWB Nick Cichielo for all of his work on promoting it, also to the lodges that sponsored the event for there promoting of it also. Rodney
