Being a member of a Charitable Organization as recognized by the IRS, the capacity to raise sufficient funds to maintain our charitable events and giving will be ham strung by a loss of our abatement of property taxes. Our Masonic Fraternity gives funds to 6 organizations in our town to enable them to do their work. These are the Tapply-Thompson Community Center, The Mayhew Program, the Bristol Fire Company, the Scouting America program, the Cub Scouts, the Circle Program and the Slim Baker Foundation. These funds are raised specifically to be given annually and without an abatement of our taxes they will be eliminated,
