Vermont's "Proud to Be a Mason" Program
Vermont's "Proud To Be A Mason" program was launched on June 13, 2007, when Brother Calvin K. Keyler was installed as the Most Worshipful Grand Master for the State of Vermont. The program's coordinator was Cal's wife, Lady Joanne Keyler. They continued this very successful program for seven years, raising thousands of dollars to help support Vermont's award-winning C.A.R.E. program. Brother Cal and Lady Joanne, knowing the importance of raising awareness as well as funding for C.A.R.E., put so much effort and consideration into this program. They took a lot of pride in their work and were well-deserving at that.
Why should we support this program?
We C.A.R.E. about Vermont's kids. By participating in this program, you can support Freemasonry in Vermont and help Vermont's younger generation stay out of trouble. Profits from the sales of all "Proud To Be A Mason" items go towards our award-winning C.A.R.E. Program, which provides training to help school administrators identify children at risk. Some of the risks that they are trained to recognize are substance, sexual, mental, and physical abuse, as well as bullying. In addition, these items promote your Lodge and Freemasonry in general to the public. Let people in your community see that you are proud to be a Mason.
