St. Johns Masonic Lodge 162 Islandmagee ran their third Charity Afternoon Tea on Sat 28th April 2018 with fifty five people in attendance.
The W. Master James McCord supplied a glass of Prosecco or soft drink on arrival. All the sandwiches, scones, cakes and tray bakes where either donated or made by the members wives and where greatly appreciated by all.
The Provincial Assistant Grand Master of Antrim R. W. Brother John Edens after saying a few words was presented with a cheque for £600 by the W. Master for Action Cancer.
