Tall Cedars Give Generously to Masonic Charities

A few years ago, members of the Tall Cedars Norristown Forest No. 31 decided to sell the Norristown Cedar Club and meet at Norristown Lodge No. 620.

Thanks to proceeds from the sale, the Forest is able to generously support multiple charities, including the Masonic Blood + Organ Donor Program, Shriners Children’s and the Children’s Dyslexia Center of Reading.

On Dec. 12, 2024, Brother Harvey “Bud” Willard Jr., Past Supreme Tall Cedar and a member of Norristown Forest No. 31 and Norristown Lodge No. 620, along with Brother David McDade, of Harrisburg Forest No. 43 and Prince Edwin-Spring Creek Lodge No. 486, Middletown, presented a check for $150,000 to Bill Kingsbury, CEO of the Masonic Charities, and R.W. Grand Master Larry A. Derr.

“We’re pleased to support activities of the Grand Lodge,” Bud said, “especially those that lean toward youth. Also, many of our members have enjoyed their older years at Masonic Village.”
