Masonic Family Fun Day was a great event put on by Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts. There was plenty of food and games and activities there for all ages and an awesome museum to tour. Amongst the appendant bodies of Freemasonry were some of the Aleppo Shriners Units.
The Aleppo Fire Brigade Provided their “Mini Fire Engines” to help with getting people from the parking lot to the event (we were on a grass runway). They did an amazing job helping everyone.
If you have never seen the American Heritage Museum in Hudson MA, you’re missing out on a hidden gem and a huge part of history. One of the best treats was a chance to drive a real tank around the museum’s obstacle course.
The Aleppo Minutemen presented the Colors at the opening ceremonies. With the Aleppo Medical Corps combined with Grand Lodge Medical Corps we had a First Aid Tent and a good crew composed of both units. This was a combined effort to make sure the public that in attendance was safe and if needed prompt medical attention could be provided.
I would like to thank RW. David Maxim, RW. Jerry Bergeron, RW, Kevin Hamel, Wor. Craig Erickson, and Wor. Ed Burg of Grand Lodge Medical Corps for their help on this day and allowing us the opportunity to work an event together. The Aleppo Medics on staff were Capt. Patrick Ventola, Lt. Mitch Shair and Sgt. John Robinson.
Aleppo Medical Corps does have several certified instructors that do CPR, First Aid, AED training as well as other First Responder classes. We do travel and can bring the classes to your lodge or facility. If you are interested in hosting or having a class, please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “training.”
