176 Deliver Christmas Meals
Masons from Lodge St. Andrew (Denney and
Loanhead No 176 have made headline news in their local paper, the
Falkirk Herald.
A team of drivers headed by RWM James Wilson
delivered over 100 Christmas dinners to some of their senior members and
widows.
Treasurer Martin McMenemy snapped the team with
chef Bro. Alistair MacDonald before they headed off from the Lodge car
park.
Lodge St. Andrew organised a meals initiative
in the early months of the COVID pandemic and gained some financial
support from The Grand Lodge of Scotland through the Provincial Grand
Lodge of Stirlingshire.
The response from recipients was terrific and
in a recent meeting by Zoom it was agreed to lay on a Christmas special.
A successful Christmas raffle helped to fund this December delivery.
A report on the project was submitted with a
picture to the Falkirk Herald and published on Wednesday 23rd December.
Secretary Archie Mackay, PM, said :”I’ve had
loads of calls and messages from our senior members and widows thanking
the Lodge not just for the meal but for thinking of them and spending a
short time chatting on the doorstep
“It has really meant a lot to them. It’s also
been good for many of our young office bearers to be directly involved
in a Lodge project.”

before they set off on their delivery rounds.
