On May 15, 2017, Masonic members from across the state held a ceremony at Charlotte Hall Veterans Home honoring the veterans for their service.ย  Residents who are also Mason members were individually recognized before the Freemasons of Maryland presented a check for $6,000 towards the Homeโ€™s Memory Care Project.ย  This project will help improve the lives of residentโ€™s who suffer from advanced stages of dementia.
