On Monday January 30, members of Hilton’s Clio Lodge #779, Free and Accepted Masons, presented a check in the amount of $3,000 to the Merton Williams Middle School on behalf of Dominic Cook and his family. Dominic was a student of the school and died tragically in an automobile accident. His parents were active members in the Masonic community.
Each year for the last four years, the Masons of Clio Lodge have hosted a no-tap bowling tournament fundraiser at Pleasure Lanes in Hilton, entitled “Pins for Dominic.” All proceeds raised are designated for the school. In addition to bowling, there is a 50/50 raffle and other prize giveaways throughout the afternoon. This is traditionally a well-attended event, and in 2022, with tremendous help from the management of Pleasure Lanes and Carbone’s Pizza, the lodge was able to raise $3,000 for the school.
Becky, the manager of Pleasure Lanes, provides support and helps in organizing the annual event. This year’s tournament will be held on Sunday, April 30, and the public is invited to attend. Contact Pleasure Lanes for more details, 392-9800.
Clio Lodge has been active in Hilton since 1877. It is a fraternal organization, supporting local and national charities, such as the Ronald McDonald House, through their efforts at the Have a Heart Campaign in the malls every February.
