A couple years ago, we became aware of a need within a local school through an acquaintance of one of our members. That need was for supplies and specialized equipment in the Special Needs class of Mrs. Amanda Murphy at Albert Cassens Elementary in Glen Carbon. Unfortunately, the needs were above and beyond what budget constraints would cover.

For these past couple years we have been blessed enough to be able to support Mrs. Murphy and the work she does with some additional funds. This year, we were made aware of a potential grant program from one of our primary Grand Lodge Charities - the Illinois Masonic Children's Assistance Program (IMCAP). Thanks to the grant program from IMCAP, we were able to present Mrs. Murphy with a check for $1,000 to use towards her classroom needs.

Teachers play such an important role in the lives of our children, and we are thrilled to be able to assist Mrs. Murphy and Albert Cassens Elementary in this way.

(Included in the picture receiving the check is Amanda Murphy, 5th grade special education teacher; Katie Bevis-O'Neal, Principal at Albert Cassens Elementary; Jeff Cassens, Harry Glass and David Hutt - members of Edwardsville Masonic Lodge.)
