Lodge Treasurer Larry Slagle and Secretary James Parsons awarded the scholarships to Jaslyn Reynolds and Vianna Ross of Paris, Sabrina Wilson of Bagwell, and Tanzila Hostetler of Brookston.
“It’s a tremendous honor for us to provide scholarships to these nursing students,” said Slagle. “The Roan Oak Masonic Lodge strives to assist others and make the world a better place. We’ll continue to do this. I wish we could do more, and maybe we will be able to.”
The Lodge’s major fundraiser in the fall each year is a fish fry and it is scheduled for October 27, from 4:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. in Garrett’s Bluff, and everyone is invited to attend. For information about the event, call 903-732-4035.
