The last issue of The Ohio Beacon featured a quiz to test your knowledge of The Ohio Masonic Communities. Now you can test your knowledge even more with part two of the quiz!
1. True or False? The Ohio Masonic Communities is exclusive to Masons.
False! The Ohio Masonic Communities started as a home for Master Masons and their wives, widows, and orphans. In 1996, the doors were opened to the public and Masons and non-Masons alike have been welcomed. However, the Fraternity still has a large presence on each campus.
2. True or False? Financial assistance is only available to Masons who qualify.
True! Financial assistance is here to help those who need it, but it isn’t for everyone. After someone has applied to live at The Ohio Masonic Communities, there is a separate application process for the Masonic Financial Assistance Program. To qualify, someone must be an Ohio Mason or Eastern Star who has been in good standing for at least the past five years, or the wife or widow of an Ohio Mason who was in good standing for the last five years of their life. When you apply to live at The Ohio Masonic Communities, your personal sales manager will help you understand what you qualify for.
3. True or False? The Ohio Masonic Communities is where Brethren go when they’re sick or out of money.
False! The mission of The Ohio Masonic Communities is to help people thrive. That starts before someone feels they need to move to a campus and continues when they do need extra support. We encourage anyone 55 or older to consider moving so they can make the most of this chapter. We have a variety of living options available so support adjusts to each person’s unique, changing needs. For our Brethren, the best part is being surrounded by a community of Masons and an engaging lifestyle full of activities and events that are sure to meet everyone’s interests.
4. True or False? I can be connected with The Ohio Masonic Communities without moving to a campus.
True! We want to help our communities thrive, at our campuses and beyond. There are lots of ways for you to get involved and support our mission. We would love to welcome you to one of our campuses as a resident, work with you as a volunteer with The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center, or have you be a donor or volunteer through The Ohio Masonic Communities Foundation.
