Making A Difference
Members from Lodges 29, Taylor; 87, Temple; and 200, Bruceville-Eddy joined members from Lodge 246, Morgan’s Point to help make a difference outside the SPJST Home Office recently. Members cleaned and beautified the areas around the office. Pictured are, left to right, Linda Pospisil, Collin and Kaitlyn Whatley, James Hosch, Hiram Dixon, Blanche Shollenberger, Jesse Pospisil, David Nauert, and Charlie Herendon. More on page 15. Look around your community. Are people hungry, homeless, or ill? Are parks or schools dirty or neglected? No matter where you live, there’s a need nearby. And on Make A Difference Day, millions of Americans are expected to roll up their sleeves to help others. You can act alone or enlist your friends, family, and coworkers. Thousands of people across the community can band together. Learn more at www.makeadifferenceday.com.
