Community Betterment Program: John Hancock Warehouse
The Square and Compass Couples Club at St. Aspinquid Lodge
volunteered to paine and refurbish the windows of the John Hancock Warehouse
of the York Historical Society. Bro. Schermer, a painter by profession considered
the lack of paint on such an historic building was disrespectful to the memory
of Bro. Hancock. So, with a matching grant from Grand Lodge a dozen men and women
of the Couples Club painted the building and refurbished the windows. The paint
restored the building to its' original color.
