Annual Butler Masonic Lodge Turkey Dinner fundraiser Nov. 6th
The Butler Masonic Lodge # 254 would like to invite everyone to our 16th annual turkey dinner Sunday, Nov. 6th, located at 1203 N. Orange St. Butler, Mo. We will start serving dinner at 11:00 AM. Dinners are $8.00 for adults and $4.00 for kids 12 and under. For carry out you can call 660-200-5301; for delivery call 660-424-9450.
A little history regarding this annual event: In 1995, Wilbur Taylor made a motion to our Lodge to have this turkey dinner as a fundraiser for college scholarships. The motion passed and since that time we have given $8,000.00 in scholarships to students in Butler.
That being said, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for supporting us and without whom none of this could be possible. This is something we can all be proud of. With your help this event gets bigger every year. We served over 200 dinners last year and hope to serve even more this year.
As many of you may remember there has been a group of young men in dress shirts and ties assisting us by greeting you at the door and making sure everyone had drinks, just to mention a few things. They are a group of civic minded young men known as The Thirteen Brothers Demolay. We are proud to sponsor their chapter and are looking forward to their assistance again this year.
We look forward to seeing everyone again this year and again thank you for your support. For more information visit the Butler Masonic Lodge #254 web site here at www.butlermasons.org.
