WILSON – The holidays got a bit warmer
for the Flynn Christian Home. Brothers of Wil-
son #712 presented a donation of more than
$1,500 to the home. The funds were raised from
the lodge's Fall pancake/sausage suppers. Pictured

ROXBORO – Lodges in the 19th District gathered 224 boxes filled with gifts for distribution to veterans and
other groups for the holiday season. The gift drive came after DDGM Ron Bowling challenged each lodge to partici-
pate. Every lodge responded and sent in gifts. The district connected with veterans through the Give Me Five project,
a nonprofit organization that helps collect and distribute items to veterans in North Carolina and other states.
SMYRNA – The brothers of Crissie Wright #741 welcomed family and friends
to a family night meal, followed by awards night. On hand were, from left, PM Billy
Jack Taylor and PM Charlie Goodwin, 50-year honors; presenter PGM Gerry Smith;
Dean Graham, 25 years; Master Casey Tosto; and PM Sam Taylor, 50 years.
CLEMMONS — Sometimes, brothers take
some time to give thanks for those who can't
show up. The brothers of Cemmons #755 in
December gathered to thank longtime Clem-
mons Charity Golf Tournament supporter The-
resa Phillips , who couldn't attend the 17th an-
nual tourney due to illness. The brothers said
they just wanted her to know they can't wait to
see her next year! Pictured are, from left, Bruce
Ayres, Jon Canupp, Doug Mason, Theresa Phillips
and Richard Brewer.
