THE Uncle Eddie’s senior citizen’s home in Tucville, Georgetown  has benefitted from a facelift, compliments of the Union Lodge No. 247.

According to a release from the Union Lodge, the freshly painted west wing ceiling of the diner and lobby areas of the Home were recently handed over to management. The Lodge also donated a plaque to the facility’s administrator to this effect.

The works commenced a few months ago, and necessitated the areas being professionally repainted, further enhancing the aesthetics and atmosphere for the residents of the Home to fully utilise and enjoy.

In handing over the plaque to commemorate the work being done at the Home, Worshipful Master of Union Lodge No. 247, Bro. Clifford Van Doiemen said: “Charity and benevolence have always been fundamental tenets of Union Lodge, from which many organisations in Guyana have benefitted.”

He said that the Lodge undertook a similar exercise back in 2001, and plans to continue well in the future.

“We are here to present a new plaque to Uncle Eddie’s Home to commemorate the continued support and the work we have recently completed, and will continue to do for the Home and its gracious residents,” VanDoimen said.

Administrator of the Home, Ms Bonita Moore seized the opportunity to thank the Lodge for all that they’ve done.

“I am deeply grateful, and I know the residents here are very grateful for the work you have done so far,” she said, adding:
“It has surely served to enhance the appearance of the West Wing and Dining Room area, which I believe will surely lend itself in great measure towards improving the overall environment and ambience of the Home.”

Members of Lodge, in turn, expressed their gratitude to the management and staff of Bounty Farm Ltd for supporting their activities.

Union Lodge No. 247 is the oldest Freemason’s Lodge in Guyana, having been warranted in July 1813 by the Ancient Grand Lodge of England.
