Activities Abound! It's All There at the Masonic Homes

"Disney World of Pennsylvania" is how William C. Stevenson, Sr., of Joseph H. Brown Lodge No. 751, Philadelphia, refers to retirement living at the Masonic Homes at Elizabethtown. Bro. Stevenson elaborated that it's all there when he explained that living at the Masonic Homes is like staying at Disney World: "You have good food, excellent landscaping, one price gets you everything, and there is entertainment."

The Stevensons led active and busy lives before they moved to the Masonic Homes, so when they arrived, they immediately became involved in activities that enabled them to pursue the interests that they had been enjoying and much more. Aware of the importance of good health, they exercised on a regular basis, so at retirement living they joined the Masonic Life Center and often begin each day with exercise at the fitness center.

Being a "people person," Bro. Stevenson discovered there are myriad opportunities to interact socially. He's often found assisting visitors at the Information Desk in the Freemasons Cultural Center, offering help with special projects, serving on the Retirement Living Food Committee, and visiting residents at the Masonic Health Care Center. Carol finds it extremely rewarding to be involved by volunteering with the music therapy program at the Masonic Health Care Center. "I feel as though I am receiving more than I am giving when I volunteer," she said. Yet there is much more to do, such as breakfast outings, bus trips, musical events, concerts, shopping trips, ceramics and crafts, bowling, and golfing. According to the Stevensons, there is not enough time to do everything.

Follow Bro. Stevenson's recommendation: "Why wait? I am so glad we came when we did. It is almost indescribable!"
