A Night of Giving

On November 29, 2022, Ill. Walter Wheeler, Director of Charities, and Ill. JB McNaughton, Active for Indiana hosted the Night of Giving Telethon. This year’s festivities began with a donor banquet in Travis Hall which included both an online and silent auction. Guests then filed into the auditorium for the telethon. This year marked the first time there was a live audience at the festivities.

Brother Paul Revere made an appearance to help introduce this year’s inductees into the Hall of Fame (see page 11). Commander Samiec also presented Lynda Pinaud with the Harry S. Truman medal for her work with the Children’s Dyslexia Centers (see page 34).

Thanks to the generosity of our Scottish Rite family, we were able to raise an astounding $517,571 to continue our important charitable endeavors. It proves once again that there is nothing we cannot accomplish when we work together as Masons should.
