The Stone Mountain Lodge #449 Annual Bar-B-Que was better than could be expected this year, due to the down economy. The event helps support local charities in the area and fund activities of the lodge with such organizations as the Masonic Children's Home of Georgia and several other agencies around the Atlanta area.
Thanks to all that attended and helped with the food preperaton and serving. Special thanks to those who stayed and helped with cleanup (that is the hardest time to get anyone to stay, thanks to Charles Nash for heading up the team).
Sammy Wade did a great job with handling the ticket sales and money again this year, Jim Payne handled the outside serving services, Zak Byrne handled inside serving services, The Eastern Star made and sold the Deserts, Bruce Bentley handled the cooking teams, and Charles Nash handled the food order and lodge cleanup.

GEORGIA CHILD IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM
WHAT IS GACHIP
Georgia Child Identification Program addresses the alarming fact that more and more children are reported missing each year. While most are found, many are not. ALL of the identifying materials generated by the program are given to the Child's family. We retain none of the information and this program is offered to the public at NO CHARGE.
GACHIP is part of MASONIC CHIP, an initiative of North American Freemason's Grand Lodges, that generates "completed packs" of various identifying items of children for parents or guardians.
MASONIC CHIP is recognized by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and has received a SPECIAL AWARD OF COMMENDATION from the NCMEC in February 2007.
