Honorifics

There are two parallel schemes for awards/incentives during the Festival: one associated just with the Festival; one associated with the Masonic Samaritan Fund.

Any donation made to the 2015 Festival will automatically count towards both the Festival and the MSF schemes. For direct donations to the Masonic Samaritan Fund please make cheques payable to the MSF. When making transfers from your Relief Chest use the blue form and attach a detailed schedule of donors to enable the MSF to record individual donations accurately.
