The KOP made a charity trip to the Womens and Childrens shelter of Gwinnett, bearing toys for the children and gifts for the women presiding. Sr. knight Mateen and Treasurer Harte made a speech for the KOP emphasizing the need to help people in need and never to avoid giving.
A small and pleasant surprise came in finding that one of our own Knights had used a shelter once with his mother. It was raining and thundering, however the result was worth the effort.

Truth and Union Lodge and Truth and Union KOP Council Participate in Adopt-A-Road Program12/27/2016 On 12/3/16 the Brothers of Truth and Union Lodge #594, along with the Truth and Union KOP Council, participated in a fourth Adopt-a-Road cleaning in the 2016 calendar year. The Adopt-A-Road cleaning started in the 8am and ended at 10:00am. This was an attempt to showcase how Master Masons, through volunteerism, can be upright citizens and help to maintain the community. Truth and Union Lodge #594 has volunteered to maintain the mile and a half strip of road. After the volunteer event, the Truth and Union KOP council attended a lecture from brothers Daryl Steward and Paul Mateen, which conveyed the values of charity. This was done in preparation of a future trip to a homeless shelter, where the Truth and Union KOP Council will bring toys for children of the shelter as well as needed essentials for the women of the shelter.
