From the Provincial Almoner
|
|
Freemasonry Cares has provided enough memory sticks for each Almoner in
the Province of West Wales to have his own. W Bro John Watson has
preloaded each one with a copy of the Almoner’s Handbook, this will make updating the handbook easier as and when required. The
remainder of the memory can be used to store other information, for
example a Members list, Widows list and Masonic Diary. This will make it much easier for everyone concerned when the Lodge Almoner changes. Please contact W Bro John if you haven't received your memory stick yet. |
Freemasonry Cares offers free and confidential guidance on the wide range of financial, healthcare and family help available to Freemasons and their dependants. Contact Freemasonry Cares on 0800 035 60 90 for advice. You acn also view the video by clicking on the image above, or by clicking here. |
