the ohio MAsoniC hoMe foundAtion's 9th AnnuAl golf ClAssiC

It was a sweltering 95 degrees and sunny for the Golf Classic at

Wedgewood Country Club on June 13. More than 140 golfers participated in the outing and helped raise over $110,000 to benefit the Pathways memory care units at our three communities. One of the many ways these funds are used to support Pathways community members is through robotic pets, like Butterscotch, which you can learn more about on the next pages.

The golf ball drone drop – an additional fundraiser for the event – had not one, not two, but THREE golf balls go in the hole this year! Special thanks to US Bank and our other sponsors for their continued support of this event raising critical funds for dementia-related care.

Did you know? All three of The Ohio Masonic Home communities have a relationship with a local golf course where our residents can play any time, free of charge. Campus life might be FORE you!

did you KnoW August is nAtionAl Will Writing Month?

There’s more to a will than just who gets “the stuff”. That’s just one piece. Having a will is important for all of us and can give you and your family emotional peace of mind.

National Will Writing Month is the perfect time for you to start writing your will, or review your will if you already have one.

Don’t know where to start with a will? Looking for more information about the importance of having a will and what should be included? The Ohio Masonic Home Foundation is here to help you navigate the process and four general pieces of will writing, including: emotional connection, administrative needs, financial necessities, and emotional peace of mind.

Rose Society Ball

The Rose Society Ball is quickly approaching and will be here before you know it! Join us on Saturday, September 24, 2022 in Columbus, Ohio to celebrate another year of generosity.

Grand Duke and Duchess Terry and Cheryl Posey extend their warmest welcome for you to join them!

Start the evening off with a cocktail hour, followed by dinner and dancing. The highlight of the night will be the Grand Duke and Duchess crowning their successors. The 2023 Duke and Duchess will represent The Ohio Masonic Home Foundation throughout the year with philanthropic support and advocating for our mission.

You won’t want to miss The Ohio Masonic Home Foundation’s premiere event of the year, celebrating generosity and the spirit of giving intrinsic to Masonry. The Rose Society Ball won’t be the same without you, so make your plans to join us now!

Proceeds from the Rose Society Ball will benefit community members in the skilled nursing unit at Western Reserve Masonic Community (WRMC). It’s the small details and focus on helping community members live their best lives that make The Ohio Masonic Home different – things that insurance doesn’t reimburse and capital support does not include. This is what your attendance at the Rose Society Ball makes possible. One of the features of the new healthcare center at WRMC will be Med Mizer beds in each room; you can learn more about what makes these beds so special by scanning this QR code and watching them in action at Springfield Masonic Community.

Take a look at these pictures and see how much fun everyone had at last year’s Rose Society Ball.

Come dance the night away celebrating the new Duke and Duchess while supporting Western Reserve’s skilled nursing community members! Purchase your ticket at ohiomasonichomefoundation.org/rose-society-ball (or scan the QR code below with your mobile device), by September 14, 2022 to reserve your seat.
