Hiram Lodge #287/ The Chisago Lakes Freemasons presented 10 Fire Suppression Tool units to Lakes Area PD. This was made possible by our community and local businesses taking part in meat bingo and silent auction to help raise the funds last spring. So it was a community group effort from all!

Through this program that Grand Lodge of Minnesota provides the local “Blue Lodges” of Minnesota matching funds to participate.

Pictured are Master of the Lodge Scott Severson (middle with device), Lakes Area PD Chief Bill Schlumbohm and Lindstrom Mayor Judy Chartrand (middle left) as well as Hiram Lodge members. Not pictured is Chisago City Mayor Jeremy Dresel.
