Last gatherings of summer, first fund-raisers of fall
[Excerpt]
A SUMMER family barbecue presented by Northern Light Masonic Lodge No. 40 was Sunday at the riverfront home of Barney Stickles. The picnic was a benefit for the lodge's Ghana Relief Project for a school for the deaf in Ghana, West Africa. Mari Towslee, daughter of lodge member Doug Towslee, served in the Peace Corps in Ghana and taught at the school. During her service the lodge donated monies to pay for a walker for a physically and mentally handicapped child and a pair of glasses for another child and more. With the funds raised Mari will be returning to Ghana in September to coordinate the purchase and distribution of supplies and equipment. The picnic raised $800, which brings the total so far to $5,000, thanks to the nearly 100 guests.
