Brothers, Following the discussion regarding the Scholarship, The following motion was brought before the craft on June 28th ,2022 and passed
Using the existing fund, a maximum of four, $1,000 Scholarships will be issued to children/grandchildren of Frederick Franklin Lodge #14 members.
All applicants must complete the application completely to be eligible and must be enrolled in their second or greater year of College or verified Technical Institute. If greater than four applications are received, the top three officers will be responsible for reviewing the applications and determining who will be awarded. The remaining funds, ie the amount that will completely deplete the existing Scholarship Fund, will be evenly distributed to one more educational improvement groups per the top three officers discretion (for example, DeMolay, Rainbow, etc).
Currently there is $4800.00 in the scholarship account that is not availing itself to the lodge, the community, students or our own fraternal charities. and in no way prevents a scholarship being given out in the future if the lodge so decides
The scholarship was started by a few brothers of the Judd Lewis Quarry in the mid-1980s to assist the children of members who resided in Plainville and entering their second year of higher education.
As the scholarship expanded to other towns, less and less applications were received and none in the past 6 years This is our fault for not promoting it better and the $500.00 probably wasn't attractive enough for applicants to apply for. Even when it was increased to $1000.00 the applications were scarce
If you know or have an eligible applicant please download the fill the application in full and submit it to
Scholarship Committee
Wishing each of my brothers a safe and wonderful summer
I hope you can join your brothers at the lodge Picnic,August 23rd and the Joint MM degree on July 16th
Fraternally,
Jude Medena
Worshipful Master
