There were more than 6,000 people at the Masonic Homes at Elizabethtown for Autumn Day on Saturday, Sept. 23. During the annual open house, Pennsylvania Freemasons, their families, and friends visited family members, reunited with friends, and toured all of the service areas at the Masonic Homes. The day was filled with visits from clowns, devouring hordes of "Homes-made" food, and enjoying musical entertainment and children's activities.

Also during Autumn Day festivities, the Masonic Homes and Elizabethtown Model Railroad Club members received a Pennsylvania Masonic Train that was donated by Bro. Raymond E. Tierney, Administrator, Retirement Living for the Masonic Homes, and his wife, Annette. The presentation (photo at right) was made by Robert L. Dluge, Jr., R.W. Grand Master (right) to Bro. Walter Weidner, President of the Masonic Homes and Elizabethtown Model Railroad Club.
