Lady Linda's List Auction
Mark your calendar now for Saturday, September 13. That’s the night of Lady Linda’s Charity Dinner and Silent Auction at Aladdin Shrine Center in Columbus. A wonderful dinner, program and silent auction, all for the benefit of Lady Linda’s List, await all attendees. Social hour begins at 5:30 p.m., as does bidding for the auction items; dinner is at 6:30 p.m. Bidding ends when entertainment begins. Entertainment by the “Troubadour of Freemasonry,” Brother Howie Damron and his daughter, Karisa.
Linda Winnett, this year’s First Lady of Masonry in Ohio, is planning an exciting, enjoyable evening for this date. “With all the excitement the bicentennial has brought to the men, we wanted something in which the ladies could get involved this year and this is that event”, Linda said. “The District Deputies wives and, in a number of Districts, wives of Worshipful Masters and other active brethren, have been hard at work creating and preparing baskets to be auctioned off on this special night. All of the baskets are very special thanks to the hard work of these great ladies. Some of them are very unusual and should bring not only great bids in the auction but a lot of comment, too!”
The beneficiary of all this activity and proceeds of the evening is, of course, The Ohio Masonic Home and the items on Lady Linda’s List. Linda and the Grand Master, MWB Ron Winnett, have long been ardent supporters of The Home. So, when choosing her “project” for the year, it was an easy choice. “We love The Home and the very important care it provides for so many of our elderly brothers and their wives, widows and others. It’s important that we “give back” and continue the important Masonic tradition of taking care of our own. That’s why The Home and “the List” were an easy choice for this year’s First Lady’s charity”, said Linda.
