Freemasons from Clear Lake Lodge (No. 230) recently hosted a community picnic at their Village Park Chalet. They served brats and hot dogs along with side dishes, dessert and beverages to the attendees. There was also popcorn and cotton candy available. All the food and beverages were donated by the Lodge.
The Lodge presented Acts of Kindness matching fund checks along with checks from the Lodge to the Clear Lake Fire Department, EMS, Food Pantry, Police Department, and Museum. Funds were raised by raffling off (4) quarters of beef. Pictured at the top of the article, Clear Lake Lodge Master Dan Boerboon and Senior Deacon Sam Christenson present a $2,000 check to the Clear Lake Police Department, one of many checks given out.
Money was also donated to the Clear Lake High School girls’ softball team for equipment they needed with proceeds from a brat stand held earlier in June.
Osman Shrine Clowns were present with face painting and balloon making for the kids along with a bouncy house and other games. Several donated door prizes were awarded.
