Many of the estimated 7,000 attending the Central Penn Parent's Family Festival in Harrisburg's Strawberry Square Mall on March 8 were munching plenty of popcorn while they learned what the Masons of Pennsylvania are doing about the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse among children. The Pennsylvania Masonic Foundation for Children sponsored a booth at the festival and Joseph W. Dows, D.D.G.M., 6th Masonic District and several brothers from the area staffed the booth. It was Bro. Dows who provided the popcorn popper that served up more than 1,200 bags-full, in addition to the promotional materials.

The Masonic Foundation for Children is interested in sponsoring informational booths at events such as festivals around the state. Any district chairman, or brother wanting to help set up such a booth in a community should contact the Executive Director, Raymond G. Brown, at 215-988-1978.
