It’s been a memorable year for Mason C. Barrick, Past Master Councilor of Elizabethtown Chapter, Order of DeMolay. The 18-year-old joined Prince Edwin – Spring Creek Lodge No. 486, Middletown, with his proud father conferring all three of his degrees; he’s been appointed Chaplain of his lodge; he’s served Pennsylvania DeMolay as State Junior Councilor; and he earned his Eagle Scout in the fall of 2023. At his Eagle Scout Court of Honor, he was presented with several special awards including the Masonic Eagle Scout Lapel Pin, and a large representation of his DeMolay family was in attendance.

Four seniors at the Masonic Children’s Home are getting ready to spread their wings, leave the nest and explore new opportunities. They are primed for success, thanks to their time spent at the children’s home, made possible by generous donors who invested in their futures.

Eloise Dreese had a rough year in 2023, but with the help of family and friends, she was able to keep her spirits lifted. She feels fortunate to live in a place where she is surrounded with love and comfort: Masonic Village at Elizabethtown.
