2024 Planning and Programming

In addition to serving our young men, monthly mentorship will be conducted to positively impact male students in need at Renaissance Academy High School (RAHS). Men above 18 at RAHS will be included in the mentorship program under our RW Willie S. Godfrey Masonic Education Committee at Coppin State University.

Bro. Derrick Johnson, Sr. is an active duty officer, having been commissioned from the Reserved Officer Training Corps at Virginia State University. Currently, I am enrolled as a student in the United States Army Intermediate Level Education (ILE)/ Advanced Operations Warfighting Course. ILE is the Army’s formal education program for senior captains and majors. Bro. Johnson, Sr. shares membership in Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.■

One of our first community service projects includes supporting ten families at RAHS with a Thanksgiving food basket. This initiative will be held with the 1st Masonic District community service project under the leadership of District Deputy Grand Master Michael M. Hughes, including Enterprise Lodge No. 3, Zion Lodge No. 4, Federal Lodge No. 9, and King David Lodge No. 18.

Anyone interested in donating or participating in the Thanksgiving community service initiative, the mentorship program at RAHS, or future activities of our Knights of Pythagoras organization can contact JW Jamal I. Wright, Sr., at themightymenoffed9@gmail.com.■
