Masons have a long history of supporting learning, education and
the public schools. In several states, Masons established the first
public schools. Many do not know, that in 1817 Masons in Michigan
provided the much needed support for the newly-created
University of Michigan. Of the total amount subscribed to start the
University, two-thirds came from the Masons in Michigan.

In Michigan, Masons have been instrumental in the Juvenile
Diabetes Program and the very successful Student Model
Assistance Program designed to help teachers identify students
who may be suffering from substance abuse.

In January 2001, a statewide team of Mason volunteers in over 400
communities began working with local elementary schools. In
capacities large and small, from mentoring to grounds keeping,
Michigan Masons work to improve the experience and educational

The Michigan State Department of Education calls it wonderful.
The Governor calls it outstanding. We call it the right move at the
right time.

Grand Master of Michigan Masons in 2000/2001. "This pledge gives
Masons the opportunity to make a difference and make themselves
known. Too long in the background, and often shrouded in
mystery, our Fraternity is eager to demonstrate its important role in
society. Masons need to revitalize, to make real, the values and
commitments they stand for and it's my job as Grand Master to
support that goal. Beacon is the perfect vehicle for that."
