Lodge 117, Robstown: Join Hands Day project continues
Lodge 117, Robstown members joined hands with students at St. James Episcopal School on May 2—Join Hands Day. Students and adult lodge members worked together to clean the school’s plant beds. The project was such a success that lodge members returned to the school last month to help students with fall planting. LEFT PHOTO: Lodge 117 President Frances Mc-
