Flag City Honor Flight

Brothers,
 
I am presenting a check to Flag City Honor Flight on Tuesday, October 2nd.  They are flying out of Grande Aire Hangar in Swanton.
 
I think it would be great if we could have a bunch of Masons/Shriners there to send the Vets off.  There is suppose to a Toledo News team there.  Will you please try to get the word to the Lodges?
 
Here are the directions and address:
You go to Toledo Express Airport the second light. Turn left. Go to the stop sign. Instead of turning left to the airport you will turn right down the service road. Go down about a mile or so. Grande Air Hangar will be on your left. Be there by 6:00 am. You'll need a government approved ID like a drivers license to get in. If you google Grande Aire Hangar 11777 W Airport Service Rd, Swanton, OH.
 
Thanks!
 
Fraternally Yours,
Rick Schau
Grand Master
Grand Lodge of Ohio F&AM

Shrine/Special Olympics Fundraiser

Brothers,

A great opportunity has fallen into our lap and your help along with your friends and family are needed to raise money for the Special Olympics and the kids in the Shriners Children hospitals. It is that time of year for the Shriners to sell their Vidalia sweet onions to support their hospitals but the 5th is putting a twist on it.  Each 10 lb. bag is sold for $12 with $5 going to Shrine Hospitals and the farmers. The remaining $2, if purchased through the 5TH District Association, will go to the Special Olympics. 

Our current four county goal is to sell at least 200 bags of onions. To give our District Secretary a break, I will spearhead this and collect monies and deliver them. Please email me at sbrunn4@roadrunner.com or call me at 419-344-8441 to order or with any questions.

We can meet this goal easily Brothers. Let’s step forward and help the kids and our Special Olympians.

Fraternally,

Steve Brunn

5th District Masonic Association, Past President
