Freemasons from Landmark Lodge (No. 244) in Iron River along with Pet Smart donated stuffed animals to make Christmas in children’s ICUs a little brighter.

Needing assistance in distributing the animals, the District 1 Leadership Team stepped up to distribute animals on December 15 to Tamarack Health Ashland Medical Center – Pediatric Unit in Ashland, Wisconsin; and on December 18 to Essentia Health St. Mary’s Medical Center – Pediatric ICU and Aspirus St. Luke’s Medical Center in Duluth, Minnesota.

The visit to Tamarack in Ashland included the Grand Master, Jeff Schoenfeldt, and Joe Thompson, the Deputy Grand Master – pictured at the top of the article with the Tamarack Health Ashland Medical Center – Pediatric Unit.
