At the beginning of the year, R.W. Grand Master Thomas K. Sturgeon revolutionized Freemasonry with a newfound dedication to raise men not only to BE Masons, but to LIVE like Masons. A lifestyle full of charity, truth and brotherly love will certainly stand out in today's society and draw people to ask, "What difference does Freemasonry make in a man's life?"

Performing one random act of kindness every week, and conducting a monthly act of community service are basic tenets of Freemasonry. Additionally, in celebration of the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown's 100th anniversary, each lodge must host a fund raiser to raise at least $10 per member up to a maximum of $2,000 for the work of the Masonic Villages in 2010. With more than 113,000 Masons in Pennsylvania dedicated to regular philanthropic endeavors, the state is bound to notice a difference!
