‘Advance one step…’

   

W. Matt Rancosky

The Master of Good Samaritan Lodge in Gettysburg will be out of town for a week and a half as he takes a hike across Pennsylvania to raise funds for several Masonic causes.

Matt Rancosky will advance one step, for starters, from Connellsville, not far from Ohio, and proceed to the Masonic Temple in Philly. From the publicity:

Walk My State

September 30 through October 9

Walking My State is a walk across the State of Pennsylvania to raise money for Masonic youth groups, the Masonic Widows Fund, and other charities of Good Samaritan Lodge 336. Brother Matt Rancosky, Worshipful Master, will walk 265 miles from the Pleasant Valley Masonic Center to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in a ten-day journey.

Matt will track his progress daily on our Facebook page. Please come and join him for a little bit when he is in your area. This walk is not just about raising money for great charitable causes, but also about meeting brothers across the state and maybe even a chance to explain Freemasonry to others.

The fundraising part is understood in three denominations: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Click here to learn more about that. Gifts of other generous amounts are welcome too, of course, so click here to contribute thusly. On Monday, Matt will be the guest on the Masonic Lite podcast, so we’ll learn more about this after the weekend.
