Pa Freemason Feb. 00 - Volunteers needed



Using the theme "Come Home for the Holidays," this year's annual holiday celebration at the Masonic Homes in Elizabethtown for residents in the Masonic Health Care Center and the Freemasons Building, along with their families and friends, was held on Saturday, Dec. 11. This year, the residents in each unit of the Masonic Health Care Center chose and helped to arrange the programs they shared with their loved ones that afternoon -- from the music and food they desired to the decorations and activities they enjoyed. Residents in the Freemasons Building celebrated their holiday get-together in the Roosevelt Building Assembly Room. As predicted, Santa appeared to share lots of hugs and cheer, but this year, he was accompanied by "Rudolph" and an elf or two. While the holidays are wonderful times to experience fun and fellowship with residents, the Masonic Homes would like to encourage brethren and their families to be a constant part of the "Mission of Love" prevalent at the Masonic Homes every day. Volunteers are integral to providing for some of the residents' daily needs, such as serving as a courier at resident care units by freshening ice pitchers, distributing and reading mail to residents, escorting residents to medical appointments, assisting with therapeutic recreation programs, escorting residents on shopping trips, visiting residents, staffing the gift shop and the information desk, and escorting residents to and from church services on Sunday afternoons. Volunteer opportunities may vary at each Masonic Homes location. If you would like to experience the fulfillment that volunteering can bring to your life, don't hesitate. Call today to discover opportunities that could enrich your life! At the Masonic Homes in Elizabethtown, call (717) 367-1121, extension 33175. For opportunities at the Masonic Eastern Star Home-East in Warminster, call (215) 672-2500. In the western part of the state, call either the Masonic Eastern Star Home-West in Pittsburgh at (412) 931-8300 or the Valley Care Masonic Center in Sewickley at (412) 741-1400.
