Masonic Charities Annual Fall Appeal

Several weeks ago, I mailed you a letter asking for your support of the 2013 Annual Fall Appeal. If you have already responded with your financial support, I say “THANK YOU.” If not, I ask you to pull out the letter you recently received and please read the material.

Our communities and fraternal families depend on our charitable programs. Your compassion and generosity, combined with that of your brothers, helps keep them going. As you examined in your third degree obligation, relief also enriches our own lives. As those who have the ability to give, we are the lucky ones.

You can make your donation by returning the response form attached to the letter received in the mail, along with your check, or by logging onto www.MasonicCharitiesPA.org and clicking on “Donate” and complete the form. Thank you for your continued support!

There was a separate mailing for the annual dues notice that coincided with the
mailing of the October notice. All Life Members and 50 Year Members will receive their
dues cards for 2014 and should not receive a dues notice letter. Please inform the
Secretary if you do not receive the correct mailing. Dues for 2014 are $80.00.
