We have a young man, Rico Rodriguez, who is currently working toward the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest achievement in Scouting. Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle rank has represented leadership, service, and commitment — qualities earned through years of effort and demonstrated character. Only a small percentage of Scouts reach this level, and each candidate must complete a significant service project that benefits the community.
Rico’s Eagle project will take place on April 25, 2026, at 10:00 AM, and involves cleaning up the back hill leading down to the water. He will be removing dead brush, clearing overgrowth, and planting new bushes to restore the area and improve its appearance for everyone who uses the space. This project is designed not only to improve the grounds but also to teach Rico the essential skills of planning, organizing, and leading volunteers — the very purpose behind every Eagle Scout Service Project.
In addition to volunteer support, Rico is working to raise $1,200 to cover the cost of materials, plants, and supplies needed to complete the project. Any contribution — large or small — will help him reach this goal and move one step closer to earning the rank of Eagle Scout. Those who wish to donate may do so directly to Rico or through the lodge using the link below and all funds will go toward the project expenses. Please contact the Lodge secretary Ricky if you wish to help on any level. 313-717-0417
This is a great opportunity for us as Masons to support a young man who is learning the same values we uphold: service, leadership, and bettering the community.
More details about timing and volunteer needs will be shared soon. Your support and participation would mean a great deal to Rico and reflect well on our lodge’s commitment to service.
