PROVINCIAL GRAND LODGE

Presentation of Stroke Chair

2012 was a momentous year for W.Bro Andrew Hopkins for several reasons, firstly he reached the Masters chair of Albert Edward mark Lodge, secondly he suffered a stroke. Thankfully, with the benefit of excellent Medical and Nursing care at Llwynypia stroke rehabilitation unit and superb support from his lodge brethren, W.Bro made a full recovery and is back among us as large as life as he ever was. W.Bro Andrew is only too aware of the support he received and wanted to say thank you to the rehab unit in a tangible way. To this end, Albert Edward Mark lodge embarked on a fund raising venture to provide them with a specialist stroke chair . W.Bro Andrew had found this item especially effective and ascertained from staff that they would welcome another one. So, on 21st of July W.Bro Andrew was able to present a specialist chair to Llwynypia stroke rehabilitation unit. Well done W.Bro Andrew and Albert Edward Mark Lodge!
