Knob Noster Masons “paint the town” Masons from Knob Noster Masonic Lodge No. 245, Knob Noster, Missouri, took advantage of what could be the last nice weekend of the year to give parking slots and curbs in downtown Knob Noster a fresh coat of paint. Several Masons and their wives came out bright and early on Sunday morning, November 26, to participate in what has become an annual community service project for the lodge. The activity is a joint effort between the city and the lodge with the city supplying the necessary paint and supplies and the Masons providing the labor. “This is a project we always look forward to,” said Joe Joyner, Worshipful Master of the local lodge. “Not only is it good for the city,” said Joyner, “it’s also a great team-building project for lodge members.” (l-r) WB Randy Eckert, Bro. Kyle Hookey, WB Les Stewart, and Bro. Max Grindstaff apply fresh paint to parking slots and curbs on State Street. 62 Spring 2007
