EMERGENCY MESSAGE FROM THE
GRAND MASTER OF THE GRAND LODGE OF CALIFORNIA
Brethren,
The tragic reports of devastation and suffering resulting from
powerful earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand have shocked
the world. As Masons, we are concerned about the well being of
the citizens of those countries, particularly our brethren and their
families.
The Grand Lodge of California has established a relief fund for the
disasters in Japan and New Zealand. All contributions will be sent
to the Masonic Service Association of North America (MSANA).
The MSANA will then forward all donations directly to the Grand
Lodge F. & A.M. of Japan and the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of New
Zealand.
Please share this information with your lodge members as soon as
possible. If your members, lodge, families, or friends would like to
make a contribution, please make your check payable to the MSA
Disaster Relief Fund and mail it to:
Grand Lodge of California
Office of Philanthropy
Attn: Denise Avila
1111 California St.
San Francisco, CA 94108
Please indicate on your check how you wish for your gift to be
distributed (Japan or New Zealand). If no designation is made the
funds will be divided equally between Japan and New Zealand.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please
contact Adam Kendall of the Masonic Service Bureau at 415/292-
9137 or akendall@freemason.org.
Please open your hearts to the victims of these disasters, and give
what you can to help.
Sincerely and fraternally,
William J. Bray III, Grand Master10
