The East End Temple Masonic Lodge # 476 presented a check to the Boys and Girls Club for $1,000 to help with uniforms for the upcoming football season. #476 says they just want the Boys and Girls Club to know they are thinking about the kids.

"And I want to accept this check on behalf of all of the kids that participate in our program," Boy and Girls Club Director Ricky Hood said. "The example that these men have set over the years is tremendous and I wish more men would set an example that they are setting. It takes a man, to teach a man, how to be a man."

Hood says he is pleased that the east end masonic lodge #476 is becoming more involved with the boys and girls club and looks forward to the future.
