North Hollywood Lodge 542 Community Service Projects
| Elementry School Book Drive |
It is said that the number of jail cell needed in 20 years is directly related to the number of third Grade students who are reading below grade level. The local school, Lankershim Elementery (located two Blocks from the lodge), has a program lead by a reading specialist, Cynthia Braley. The aim of this program is to bring students up to grade level in reading. Much of the encouragement to these students is owning their own book. Many are from families that don't have the funds to buy books. The Masons of North Hollywood have stepped up at the right time to lend a helping hand. Mrs. Braley can't say enough about how much this helps her and the students. We are currently looking for books for third and foruth grade reading levels (see requested Book List) All donated books will be labeled with a sticker that reads "Donated by North Hollywood Lodge 542" and has a Square & Compass. We may not save the world but may save a kid from a life of problems. Gene A. French/Kusaladhamma, PM |
