The Oregon Area First Responders’ Steering Committee — consisting of Oregon Masonic Lodge (No. 151), Oregon Chapter No. 49 OES and the Oregon-Brooklyn Optimist Club — along with the Oregon area community came together on August 28 to honor their first responders. Pictured above, Oregon Masonic Lodge Master John Graham welcomes the first responders.

It was the fifth annual celebration. It featured free food and entertainment for the first responders and their families. It gave members of the community an opportunity to say “thank you”.
