Ukraine Relief Fund Through The Grand Lodge of B.C. & Yukon

Brethren,

We have received the following message from the Grand Lodge of B.C. & Yukon regarding a new Ukraine Relief Fund:

“Brethren, all :-

The Grand Lodge of Ukraine has contacted our Grand Lodge, requesting assistance during their current humanitarian crisis. Brethren wishing to make financial contributions are asked to forward cheques to this office, payable to the Grand Lodge of B.C. & Yukon, noting that the funds are to be directed to the Ukraine.

The Grand Lodge of B.C. & Yukon will forward the funds directly to the Grand Lodge of Ukraine.

S&F,

V.W.B. Trevor McKeown”

This is an excellent way to provide direct financial support to our Ukrainian Brethren during these times of desperate need in Ukraine.

We will look at setting up a way of collecting cheques from any Vancouver Island Brethren wishing to contribute and then forwarding those cheques to the Grand Lodge of B.C. & Yukon in a single package.

We will take a hike on Mt. Prevost in the near future to get a photo of this site.
