FIREFIGHTER BREAKFAST A SUCCESS

Ashlar Lodge Donates $500 to Greenwich Fire Department Following Community Breakfast

Greenwich, NY - Ashlar Charities, the charitable arm of Ashlar Lodge #584, presented a $500 donation to the Greenwich Volunteer Fire Department following their successful New Year’s Resolution breakfast buffet held on January 5th, 2025.

The presentation took place during a special recognition service where Assistant Fire Chief/President Mike Genevick and Support member Brittany Genevick represented the Fire Department. The ceremony highlighted the department’s dedicated service to the Greenwich community.

“Our firefighters exemplify the values of service and sacrifice that we hold dear at Ashlar Lodge,” said Harry Booth, Master of Ashlar Lodge. “This donation represents not just our financial support, but our deep appreciation for their tireless commitment to keeping our community safe. The tremendous turnout at our New Year’s breakfast showed just how much our community values these everyday heroes.”

The donation will support the fire department’s ongoing operations and equipment needs, reinforcing Ashlar Lodge’s nearly 200-year tradition of community service in Greenwich.

Looking ahead, Ashlar Lodge will host their Washington’s Birthday Breakfast on Sunday, February 2, 2025, from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Greenwich Masonic Temple, 2543 NY-40. This special event will celebrate Lafayette’s historic 1825 visit, featuring historian Sean Kelleher, who will share insights from his decades of experience portraying soldiers under Lafayette’s command.

For more information about upcoming events, follow Ashlar Lodge on Facebook or contact Brian Nilsen at (518) 366-3108.
