    DUNEDIN, FL, USA (December 14, 2009) - Masonic Lodges from Districts 20 & 21 assembled a generous donation of holiday gifts for U.S. troops overseas. Sponsored by the SunCoast Masters & Wardens Association, the "G.I.Care Package Program" supports military personnel overseas during the holiday season.

    According to committee chairman, W:.Bob Matheson, PM, "This is the fifth consecutive year the Association has supported the G.I. Care Package Program and I am always overwhelmed by the generosity of the Craft."

    This year, the Association collected enough gifts and supplies for 27 boxes.

    Matheson said, "We collected everything from snacks and candies, to cigars, books, games, DVD's, CD's, and baby-wipes which the troops use to refresh themselves when they come out of the desert. A big tip of the hat goes out to all of the Masonic Lodges in Pinellas and West Pasco Counties who participated in the program. And thanks to our troops for all of their efforts. Hopefully our shipment will make a difference."
