Some Browning Masonic Community residents volunteer with The Ohio Masonic Communities Foundation as part of the Rose SPRIG I. In December, the group hosted Festival of Trees, a fundraising event to support the campus, and raised over $11,000. These funds were then available for them to use on campus for items and activities that would improve their lives.
The group decided that the first thing they wanted to use their donations for was updating their outdoor gathering spaces. They purchased new patio furniture for their gazebo, and held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the new additions.
The gazebo ribbon cutting was held July 12, and it opened just in time for their Community Fest event that evening. Community Fest at Browning Masonic Community was a perfect opportunity for residents to gather and enjoy some of their new spaces together.
Community Fest was open to all residents and staff, and their families, as well as members of the community. Everyone enjoyed cookout staples like hot dogs and hamburgers, root beer floats, live music from Andrew and Teri Dean, snow cones, games, and more. The night was capped off with a magnificent fireworks show that was enjoyed by all. Everyone is already counting down to Community Fest next year. Of course, this year’s Festival of Trees will come first and planning is well underway.
