Husband, wife team up
for community kids through CAP There are hundreds of Masons and Eastern Star members across the state who work diligently to make the Masonic Home of Missouri’s Creating-A-Partnership program work for kids in their communities, and for two of them in central Missouri, it’s a family affair. Tha and Raylene Kribbs are a married couple who have taken on the responsibility of doing the legwork for the CAP program at their Lodge, Cairo Lodge #486, and Chapter, Cairo Chapter #180, as a team. Tha manages the program for the Lodge, and Raylene manages the program for the Chapter, which both are members of.

“We can’t do it without each other, and we can’t do it without the members,” Tha said, noting that while they manage the program, it is a wide, group effort to raise funds and find needs in their community. This past year, the couple, along with their Lodge and Chapter, provided funding for things like backpack programs and school supplies to five rural schools in their community. This means kids in rural central Missouri won’t miss meals, have the supplies they need to be successful, have warm clothes this winter, and more.
