A FEW WORDS!

Learning Your ABC's

By Ill.·. John W. Young, 33°, Chair
AASR Charitable Giving Committee

A B C D E F G--how did you learn your ABC's? You didn't just wake up one morning and know them. Was it with the help of that simple familiar musical jingle? "A B C D...now I know my ABC's, next time won't you sing with me?"

Singing the ABC song over and over led to a life long learning experience. Could we apply that principle of repetition in learning to our 32° Masonic Charitable giving? YES! As we donate over and over we indeed develop a life-long charitable practice.

A B C D E F G--next time won't you GIVE with me? Repetitive giving to 32° Masonic Charities, such as our Learning Centers for Dyslexic Children, truly becomes as easy as ABC!

In the photo (at below), items that were used to decorate the float consisted of Lodge Furniture were carried down three flights of stairs to be mounted securely to a beautifully decorated farm trailer. On the rear of the trailer back drop was mounted a large 5 ft. by 10 ft. American Flag signifying patriotism.
