I am proud to inform you that I’m a Freemason and a member of Kitchener

Lodge No. 2998 E.C, a Lodge in its 111th year of existence. It might interest

you to know that the Freemason’s not only are the world’s oldest fraternal

organization, we also lead the globe in charitable donations. Its three cardinal

principles worldwide, applied to six million members, are Brotherly Love,

Relief and Truth.

As part of a charitable endeavor, we are collecting surplus woolens from

members and friends, to be deposited at the Lodge on Monday the 6th January

2014. These woolens, which will ultimately be passed on to the needy in and

around the Delhi/NCR region, can be of any size and form including but not

limited to jackets, trousers, blazers, blankets, sweaters and shawls among

others. As long as you believe the article you’re donating can help insulate a

person from the fatal effects of a cold winter and is able to provide them some

warmth, it is welcome.

God has been very kind to all of us. Last year, when we all were cozily sitting

before the heater in our home snugly wearing woolens, there were many less

fortunate who were out in the open without any protection. The same chilling

winters are approaching again. I thus appeal your good self to take some time

right now and reach into your wardrobes and trunks to help those less fortunate

than us. From a single scarf to a trunk full of your children’s old woolens –

everything is welcome.

Let’s talk and work out how we can get your contributions to the Lodge before

the 6th of January 2014. Please do call/mail if there are any further clarifications

I may provide. Alternatively, please mail Kitchener Lodge directly at
