At the Bury District Dinner in May Chris Eccles, Bury District Charity Steward, auctioned off a TLC teddy which was won by the highest bidder, Simon Fairhurst a “non Mason” who was in attendance as a guest. The teddy raised a record £51 on the night. The teddy has now been presented, complete with a hoodie knitted by the ladies at the ELMC, to this lovely little girl. I think the expression on her face speaks a million words. Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest differences.

This is why I love Freemasonry.
