MASONIC Home Ride
Members rode with about 100 motorcycles to the Masonic Home for Children in Oxford. This was a charity ride that is done each year for the last 12 years. This ride
which started near Charlotte raised almost $22,000 for them. Over the last 12 years, almost $200,000 has been raised by this ride. This is important because the
Home is private and is supported entirely by donations. They receive NO state or federal funds.

We were led on a tour of one of the cottages and the museum by a couple of the young residents. There have been many changes at the Home in the past years. If you
have not been lately, you need to see it now. If you have never been, you need to see their mission. See how,  where, and why it began and what it has become today.


Below are some a few pictures from their ride.  Please click on them to see them larger in another window.
