Huckleberry Frolic
First Nassau Masonic District held its first event on June 12, 2010 at
the
Huckleberry Frolic in East Rockaway. This was done accomplished under the direction
of the co-chairman for the district: Bro. John T. Hansen and W∴ Marc P. Lapinel.
There were several key individuals whose help ensured the success of the event.
R∴W∴ Larry Gordon, R∴W∴ Bud Prout, Lorrie Gordon
and the help of several members of our team including Bro. Michael Prior of Lynbrook-Massapequa
Lodge, and Bro. Cecil Frank from Spartan Lodge as well as our own DDGM R∴W∴
George J. Saar. We had a pleasant visit from our past DDGM R∴W∴
Alan Gellar. We had two young ladies from Sunrise Triangle, Liz Hijny and
Jillian Stephan, and look forward to future events with their added support of the district.
Seventythree children were processed, a substantial increase from the forty
children that we were told that
the team had done last year. I am happy to say that there were two promising leads
for additional venues that I will investigate for future programs.
I also want to thank Lorrie Gordon and Holly Lapinel for their support and hard work. All
in all, I am glad to report that the team functioned well and we are on our way
towards our goal of becoming an asset to the Masonic Community.
