The Lodge is super proud of the hard work these girls put in to everything they do. Thank you Bro Greg Hall, Mrs Angel Tapley and Mrs. Cheryl Hall for overseeing this project and making it a great success.

John P Byrd challenged its members and other bodies to raise money to dont are books to kids for their summer reading program. Our goal was 50 books. The girls in Faith Assembly number 72 stepped up and raised enough money to buy 300 books for kids in our community. They are doing great things.
