Grand Lodge Bicentennial Logo hits
NASCAR
(As published on the Grand Lodge website)
The Grand Lodge of Ohio’s
Bicentennial logo has made its racing debut. It rode
along with Brother Blake Feese of North Carolina in a
Nascar ARCA series race at the Daytona Speedway on
February 9th.
Brother Feese drove car number
8 and was sponsored by DeMolay International,
Encompasses Inc., and FPC International, which is owned
by Brother George Riegel of Minerva Lodge No. 13,
Barbersville, West Virginia.
Brother Riegel’s company
produces a fuel additive, which reduces fuel consumption
by 5 to 8% as well as lowers harmful emissions. He
dedicates 25% of sales from their webpage,
www.fpc1.com to support
the racing program. It was Brother Riegel who made it
possible for the Grand Lodge’s logo to be used.
To learn more about Brother
Blake Feese visit his official website at
www.blakefeese.com.

Did you
know........
Did you know there is a cemetery in Springfield, Illinois and one in
Clinton Township, Missouri, that has a large Masonic section that is set
up as a lodge room? There are large stone chairs for the Master
and Wardens and a large stone Altar with a Bible. The area is so
large that a person would have a difficult time shouting loud enough to
be heard from one station to another.

Everett, Volume 15, Issue 8.
