Wicomico Lodge sponsors Maryland Child Identification Program
On Saturday April 24, 2010, Wicomico Lodge No. 91 A.F. & A.M. in conjunction with
the Grand Lodge of Maryland A.F. & A.M. and the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons
in North America sponsored a booth at the Salisbury Festival
to enroll children in the Maryland Child Identification Program called MDCHIPS.
The Grand Lodge of Maryland provided all of the equipment and
necessary forms for Wicomico Lodge No. 91 to run this program. The
Salisbury Assembly No. 5 of the Rainbow Girls provided the workers to
input all of the necessary information into the computers.
This program is a comprehensive identification and protection program
designed to give families a measure of protection against the ever increasing
problem of missing children. This program is provided "free of charge" to every
Maryland family who wishes to participate.
What we provided: CD with child’s name, address, height, weight, eye color,
hair color, description of distinguishing marks, notes on health concerns,
birth date, parental / guardian contact information, 3 to 4 photos,A video
interview of the child,Digital fingerprints,DNA sample and a Dental Wafer.
It is our sincerest hope that no family will need the resources provided in our
packets, but if the need should arise we believe the information that we provide
from our program will be instrumental to law enforcement agencies in recovery
of missing children.

On Saturday December 12, 2009 under a special dispensaton from the Grand

Degree of Master Mason.
Shown above left to right are Weston Raphael Park, David Franklin Long, Worshipful Master
Craig L. Scott, John Matthew Mendygral, and Kyle David Heberle
What was most remarkable was that this degree work was conferred by a
veritable who's who of Freemasonry on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Most
participants were past masters and/or Grand Lodge officers.
Lodge 91 was overwhelmed by the support we were offered.
It was truly heartwarming that our lodge was able to work with so many good
friends and brothers and to know that they had voluntarily offered their services
to help us. This was Freemasonry in action. Lodge 91 would like to congratulate
each of the brothers listed below who helped us in this endeavor.
All did exemplary ritual work.
