The brothers, ladies, and friends of Boggs Lodge spent Saturday morning scrambling eggs and flipping omelettes for a great cause: the National Champion Riverside High School PowerLifting Team. As part of the Team's Quest for a World Title, OmeletteFest raised money to fund the costs of sending over a dozen young men to the World Drug Free PowerLifting Championships in Evansville, Indiana next month.
Earlier in the year, the team won the National Drug Free PowerLifting Championships, earning the right to compete for the World Title. Team members joined the Boggs Lodge family Saturday morning in preparing and serving over 200 omelettes to members of the community and supporters of the team.
Worshipful Master Ron Helmlinger was joined by his officers and several ladies of the Lodge, along with the team's Coaches Scott Stewart and Rick Moffett in running the skillets. Omelette-making tools were provided through the generosity of the Ohio Poultry Association. Event coordinator Lindsay Hill, wife of Brother Andy Vance, said "This event was a win-win for the Lodge and the Team. Not only was the team able to raise much needed funding for their travel to the World Championships, but the Lodge was able to demonstrate to the community the Masonic ideals of brotherhood and community service."
