Rawlins (Wyo.) Lodge Takes Good Care of City's Needy Children

Rawlins (Wyo.) Lodge, No. 609, is justly proud of its charity work during the past few months. Under the auspices of the Social and Community Welfare Committee every destitute child in the city has been supplied with shoes and clothing, and many dozens of baskets of food have been distributed to the needy families. This good work called forth a vote of thanks from the teachers of the Rawlins public schools, as the generosity of the Lodge made it possible for many of the children to return to school, properly dressed. During three months over $1,000 has been spent for this work. In addition, the Lodge recently gave a banquet at its Home to which every poor child in the city was invited. Over 130 little tots sat down to a real meal. By acts of kindness such as these Rawlins Lodge, located amidst the sage-brush of southern Wyoming, is doing its part to make the principle of Charity a living, actual thing.
