We will depart via luxury coach promptly at 9AM from the Masonic apartments in Lexington (please be at Lodge by 8:45AM), followed by a pick-up at Riverside MBTA Station in Newton at approximately 9:30AM in order to accommodate any brethren traveling from Boston or the Metro South/West areas.

Child Identification Program (MYCHIP)
Saturday, May 27
I can hardly believe it is that time of year again! On Memorial Day Weekend, Discovery Day in Lexington Center, we will be once again sponsoring Simon W. Robinson Lodge’s Annual Child Identification Program. This is perhaps the most visible outreach program the Lodge sponsors. Over the past few years, we have processed over a thousand children, giving their parents valuable data including fingerprints, tooth prints, a video cassette of their child, and the first Lodge in the nation to provide a DNA sample for their safe keeping.
We have made many new friends in the good work done and once again I ask all brothers, their significant others and children to join us in this worthwhile endeavor. We need help with registration, interviewing and camera operators. As in the past, we will operate 2 shifts due to the length of the festivities that are Discovery Day. The morning shift will be from 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM and the afternoon shift will be from 12:30 PM – 4:00 PM. Once again we will have 4 video stations, so the need is for 12 to 14 people per shift. I encourage you to come down and join in. It is a rewarding fun filled time!
Contact Wor. Charles Gore JLSTANDARDGAUGE@aol.com or pick up one of the informational flyers available at Lodge events until Memorial Day.
