THE Masonic Lodges and Chapters of the Coffs Harbour Clarence region recently held a district meeting at which a donation was presented to the CanDo Cancer Trust.
The Trust is a local cancer charity that financially supports patients and families attending the Mid North Coast Cancer Institute.
A cheque for $5500 was presented by the District Grand Inspector of Workings, VW Brother Stan Gordon, in the presence of members and guests.
The CanDo Cancer Trust Chairperson Julie Jardine accepted the donation.
Freemasons within our community, as well as across NSW and the ACT, support many qualifying charities with donations and fundraising.
The Coffs Coast Freemans Association (CCFA) co-ordinates charitable activities amongst lodge members.
“Funds for the donation were raised through efforts and activities supported by our community,” Brother Gordon told News Of The Area.
The Coffs Harbour Masonic Centre is located in Mackays Road and is home for the members of District 12, who hold day and night time meetings.
The Grafton Masonic Centre is located on Bacon Street.
It serves as a meeting place for Freemasons and hosts various ceremonies and events for the region.
