Page 10 The North Carolina Mason May/June 2019 TRAVELING THE TAR HEEL STATE NEWS FROM OUR LODGES SSWANSBORO – Seaside #429 in April raised about $3,700 for the Masonic Home for Children at its annual fish fry – and sold out every plate in the process. The lodge was prepared to sell some 400 plates, but brothers sold so many tickets, they ran out about an hour before they planned to close. WB Alex Garner donated all the sup- plies and some 24 brothers worked the fish fry. Celebrating a job well done are, from left, Rusty Forbis, Master Mike Hodges and SW Ken Jackson. SHIGH POINT – Cornelius Harnett Camp 97 of the National Sojourners presents a printed copy of Toast to the Flag by John Jay Daly to Aca- cia #674 at Acacia's May Stated Communication in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the National Sojourners formation. On hand are, from left, James Pugsley, Master Jake Summey, John Chandler and Troy Chandler. SELIZABETH CITY – Masons of the First and Fifth districts spent a recent Saturday visiting Museum of the Al- bemarle to attend the official opening and ribbon cutting of the Blue Lodges of the Albemarle exhibit, followed by a presentation about the master's chair from Unanimity #7. Brother Paul Vincent (pictured), who is a member of Revo- lution #552 and Widow's Son #75, and Collections Assistant at MOA, worked with the lodges in both districts to as- semble a collection of artifacts representing the history, charitable contributions and values of Freemasonry. OES #44 provided light refreshments for the event, and many on hand toured the museum awaiting the official opening. Every Lodge in the First District loaned an item to the museum for the display. The exhibit is open through December 2019. XGOLDSBORO – There's always time for fun! Brotherly love and friendship are on the menu every Wednesday morning at Wayne #112. Brothers and sisters from Wayne and other lodges meet that day every week at 7:30 a.m. to enjoy a hearty breakfast and fun. These brothers dressed up a bit for the St. Patrick's Day breakfast.
