On December 15, 2026, members of the lodge gathered at the Marine Corps Toys for Tots temporary collection storefront located in the Royal Plaza to support the final day of the annual holiday toy drive.
Three Brothers arrived with boxes filled to the brim with toys, each one destined to bring joy to a child in the area this Christmas. The timing was intentional. The final day carries a special energy, and the sense of urgency and purpose was felt by everyone involved as the truck steadily filled.
A Tradition of Giving
This effort is not a one-time gesture. Supporting Toys for Tots has become an annual tradition for the lodge—one more way to quietly but consistently serve families in the community during the holiday season.
The Masons were not alone in this work. Throughout December, members of the Order of the Eastern Star were also hard at work, purchasing toys and delivering them by the bagful to support the drive.
A Season’s Largest Contribution
Just days earlier, the Order of the Eastern Star made its largest contribution of the season, ensuring the collection bins were overflowing as the deadline approached. Three Sisters paused briefly to pose for a photo—capturing a moment that reflected both the joy and the generosity behind the effort.
Quiet Work, Lasting Impact
There were no speeches or formalities—just steady hands carrying boxes, shared smiles, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing the impact these gifts would have. Each toy represented a moment of joy waiting to happen for a child on Christmas morning.
Through continued cooperation and shared commitment, the Lodge and the Order of the Eastern Star once again helped make the holiday season brighter for families throughout the community—one thoughtfully chosen gift at a time.
