Monthly Speaker
Our next speaker will be Chris Jones from the Lincolnshire Freemasons, 10am Tuesday 1st September..
Raising Money for the Masonic Charitable Foundation
After walking an incredible 6,479 miles. Taking 13 million steps, and spending nearly two years away from home, Chris Jones has completed his monumental journey around Britain.
A Freemason from Lincolnshire, Chris set out with the goal of raising funds for the Masonic Charitable Foundation (MCF, the Freemasons’ charity). He wanted to shoot for the moon and aim for £100,000 to be raised. Chris is currently amongst the stars with £75,000 collected, with the moon in sight, as donations keep rolling in. Already, Chris has become the largest single fundraiser for the MCF, so we wanted to extend our deepest thanks to Chris for his dedication and support.
Refreshments will be available at the end of the Speaker meetings.
As an active u3a, with regular monthly meetings, and Activity Groups to get involved with, we look forward to welcoming you at our next meeting, usually held on first Tuesday of the month. 10am at Stanhope Hall. Derek Smith - Chairman Horncastle u3a.
