Masonic groups around the US support supplementatl services for students with Learning Disabilities in reading (dyslexia). The services, which are predicated on Orton-Gillingham methods, are a wonderful focus for the charitable efforts of these groups and have benefitted many individuals. Of course, it costs money to provide them, so Masons have developed fund-raising campaigns. In Shreveport, LA, where one lodge has a member who is both a school teacher and a musician, the Masons sponsored a concert by local musical groups.

Ryan Reid, a math teacher and a member of the band The Hoodlum Circus, is using his connections in the local music scene to raise money for the Louisiana Masonic Learning Center’s Dyslexia Training Program. Beginning Saturday at 6 p.m., eight bands and a variety speakers will take the stage at 516 Soundstage in Shreveport to raise money for the after-school
program.

Here’s hoping that these folks raised lots of money.
