District 1 MWPHGLOH Annual Thanksgiving Basket Drive 2024 was a resounding success, and we couldn’t have done it without your generous support.
Thanks to the efforts of our dedicated volunteers and community partners, we were able to donate over 970 Thanksgiving baskets to families in need. Each basket will provide a meal for a family of four, helping to make this holiday season a little brighter for many in our community.
Thank again to the wonderful Brothers of Mt Calvary Lodge #76, Phoenix Lodge #112, Samos Chapter Order of Pythagorans, and Enoch Court #7 for their generous donation to our sickle cell program for the Christmas holiday in the amount of $1,475 . The families of several sickle cell patients at The Showers Family Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders were the recipients of some extra blessings this past holiday season. The lodge has made a commitment to continue the tradition annually and this is the third year they have supported our families. The donation was able to be used to help several patients diagnosed with sickle cell disease and their families. A huge “Thank You” to the Lodge from the sickle cell team and everyone at The Showers Family Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders at Akron Children’s Hospital.

The Central Ohio Ronald McDonald House provides much needed comfort, support and resources to families who travel far from home to obtain medical care for their children.
In keeping with one of the principal tenants of Freemasonry, on Saturday, January 14, 2023 the Brothers of St. Mark's Lodge No. 7 provided relief to the community by preparing, and serving food to the families at the Central Ohio Ronald McDonald House:
On 23 July 2022, Unity Lodge #115 hosted the 4th Masonic District’s Master Mason Degree at the Masonic Temple, 2531 Germantown Street, Dayton Ohio. We were honored to have in attendance, the Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master Robert Estelle, Right Worshipful Grand Lecturer Eric J Kidd Sr. and Junior Warden Cisco Moore of Mt Calvary #76. Also in attendance was 4th Masonic District Deputy, Right Worshipful Villani "V.J." Thomas, as well as a host of other Grand Lodge Officers.
We had 11 newly raised Brothers from the various lodges within the district, and the degree team was highly proficient in their work. The event was well attended by the lodges of the district, and the newly raised Brothers were treated to an outstanding lecture presented by Right Worshipful Ronald Ogletree, with the assistance of PM George Goosby on lecture slides. Pictures of the event are posted in the Grand Lodge Photo Gallery as well as attached below

The Masonic District's brothers and sisters worked together to make a difference. The brothers of Excelsior Lodge No. 11, their sister chapter Queen Elizabeth Chapter No. 9 and two volunteers collaborated for an Adopt-A-Highway clean-up on Saturday, June 5, 2021. We rendered this service under the umbrella of the MWPHGL of Ohio at the "Troy Lee James Highway", the area of Interstate 490 numbered 71-90 in the west and 77 in the east. The area was named in memory of former Excelsior Lodge Brother Troy Lee James on March 19, 2003. Troy Lee James (April 18, 1924 - November 1, 2007), a former laborer and union member, was the longest-serving Democrat in the Ohio House of Representatives at the time of his death, serving from 1967-2000. Following the establishment of term limits in 1992, he was ineligible to run for office in 2000. He left the House in 2000, after 34 years in the legislature, making him the longest-serving Democrat in the history of the Ohio General Assembly. We hope and pray that we have made him proud.
