Senior Citizens Partner with Masons in Auction
From the Clayton Today, 7/11/2002
The members of Tuskahoma Masonic Lodge joined with Honobia Senior
Citizens, at the Honobia Community Center, Honobia, Oklahoma in a
fund raising effort. Their goal was to raise monies to improve the Community
Center and purchase equipment for the childrens playground. There was a
lively auction in which the Masons displayed the objects for sale while
the auctioneer, Harold Starbuck (we are told he is not of the famed Coffee
family but a very good and talented auctioneer nevertheless) delivered
his spiel. A very delicious meal was offered by the ladies of the Senior
Citizens group for a small $5.00 donation. All present took advantage of
this offer and seemed to enjoy the food. On the side, some Seniors offered
ticket chances on a beautiful afghan.
There was much visiting and fellowship and everyone seemed to have
a good time. We are told that this kind of activity occurs rather frequently
in this particular location.
We will try and name those present and working but we are sure that
the list will not be complete. The Seniors included but were not limited
to: Joyce Kinsey, Secy/Treas., Senior Citizen Don McKee, Mbr Board of Directors,
Senior Citizens, Howard Kinsey, Pres. Board of Directors, and Jon Davis
Mbr. Board of Directors. The Tuskahoma Masons included Brothers Charley
Talbott, P.M. and pastor of Christ’s Church, Nashoba, Oklahoma, John Welsh,
P.M, Treasurer and Talented Banana Pudding Maker Jack Wilson J.D. and a
Talented Horseman and Dentist in Clayton, Oklahoma, Arvel JacksonW.M. and
Venerated Mayor of Clayton, Oklahoma: Doug Hobbs, M.M. Plural M.M. (not
to be confused with Dobbs as he sometimes is): Wes Shores, S.D., Exteremely
Talented Landscape Artist and husband of a Gifted Eastern Star, Randall
Erwin M.M. and third best looking man in Push. Co., "waiting in line" State
Representative and Hodie Huddleston, P.M. and chosen Master Monitor.
The Tuskahoma Masons matched $1000.00 of the money collectedand
a check for 2869.95 was delivered to the Honobia Senior Citizens on Wednesday,
June 7, 2002, by John Welsh, Treas.
