Masons present gift to Thornfield School

Members of Sampson Masonic Lodge #298 in Theodosia on Oct. 23 presented a $400 Masonic Home of Missouri check to Thornfield School superintendent Mike Wallace to help fund the school’s backpack program, which provides food for students who qualify for the supplementary support. The Masonic Home of Missouri, through its  “Creating a Partnership”  program, provides matching funds from local Masonic lodges for certain benevolent initiatives related to the well-being of children.
