The guys go out to the villages on the north shore of Lake Chapala, pre-advertise their project and show up waiting for the droves of kids who come to have their bikes taped with special reflective tape. Besides applying the tape that comes from a company in Denver, Colorado at a great discount, the Masons check out the bikes for safety and make a lot of repairs. Needless to say, the kids love it and so do those of us driving at dusk when so many kids are on bikes heading home from school. The idea was the brainchild of Past Master Bob Glenn several years ago. To learn more about Mason projects and Lodge Axixic 31, contact Wes Weston, Lodge Master, at (376) 765-2830.
