Change for the Troops
This program was established at the beginning of 2008 for the purpose of collecting money at Masonic Events for the purpose of buying prepaid phone cards for American GIs who are stationed overseas so that they can contact their families. Great idea. This program has generated a fair amount of donations. See www.pagrandlodge.org for more information.
It is the duty of the Senior Warden to announce at each event that money will be collected for the troops.
At Wilmington Lodge No. 804 money is collected after the meeting and is then sent to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania after the next Stated Meeting.
