Last spring, brethren from the Roosters' Corner, a Masonic Homes resident-run wood-working shop, committed to help prepare the Masonic Youth Camp at Sugar Run, Bradford County, for the youth of the Masonic Children's Home. They built and donated six picnic tables and benches, a porch glider, and a rocker from funds donated by the Masonic Homes' Independent Living Community Residents Association.

The club members also began working on a 15 ft. x 30 ft. screened-in pavilion. Abraham C. Treichler Lodge No. 682, Elizabethtown, recognizing the men's good work, donated $2,500 toward the lumber materials needed to build the pavilion.

When the pavilion was built, it was disassembled by the Roosters' Corner members, and the Masonic Homes' staff transferred the materials to Sugar Run to be reassembled by the club members. On Aug. 21 and 22, Bros. Gene Tobias, Sr., John Irwin, Gene Light, Robert Murray, Martin Weinelt, William Treager, and William Hildebrand; and Masonic Homes' staff members, Mark Spada and Gene Tobias, Jr.; plus a few of the youth from the Masonic Children's Home worked hard to rebuild the pavilion.

Workers on the pavilion are: standing (l-r), Gene Tobias, Jr., Mark Spada, Robert Murray, William Treager, Martin Weinelt, and William Hildebrand; sitting (l-r), Gene Tobias, Sr., Gene Light, and John Irwin.
