ANNUAL FUND-RAISER BARBERTON MUM FEST

On September 28^th & 29^th, National Lodge held the 17^th annual ‘Famous Fried Bologna Sandwich’ Fundraiser during the Barberton Mum Fest.  We sold over 700 sandwiches this year, along with 50-dozen ears of corn.  We had a little rain on Saturday afternoon that derailed our sales, and Sunday continued the mayhem for the day. While some braved the rainy forecast on Sunday, we had some that just needed to get their Bologna ‘Fix’. We closed early due to the heavy rains. A special ‘Thank You’ to all the volunteers.

A special thanks to Chad & Debbie Hollon from Blanchester Lodge #191, and several members from Star Lodge #187 for their help during the weekend.

As part of the ongoing support of National Lodge, and to let everyone know around the area, that a Masonic Lodge resides within the city of Barberton, we approved to have Road Signs made and put up around the city where the corporation limit signs are currently placed. The bold masonic emblem, and National Lodge No. 568, proudly displayed, will ensure anyone entering the city knows that we exist and support the city of Barberton.

Bro Christopher W.R. Schill spearheaded this project. He worked closely with the city, providing artwork, and general locations around the area where existing corporation signs are placed. We appreciate Bro Schill’s effort in recognizing the need for these signs and putting together the idea to promote National Lodge within the city. There will be 10 signs erected around the city, and I’m sure one of them will catch your eye as you travel the area. The map below shows the approx. locations for the signs.
