Storm Preparedness Update

As we prepare for the approaching winter storm, we want to reassure our residents, families, and friends that our team has been actively planning to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.

Our community has comprehensive storm plans in place, including preparations to safely accommodate our Independent Living cottage residents in our main building should a power outage occur. Warm accommodations, food, water, and essential supplies are ready, and our staff is prepared to assist with transportation and support as needed.

⚠️Important Communication To Note:
In the event of a power outage, our main phone lines may be temporarily unavailable. During that time, this page will be our primary way to share updates. Please know that if any resident is in distress or requires urgent attention, we have established means to communicate with 911 and other emergency services at all times and have emergency contact information readily available and printed for all residents.

We will continue to share updates as conditions evolve. We are hopeful for a smooth and uneventful weekend, but we believe that careful preparation is the best way to protect our residents and staff.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

📬 Important Year-End Giving Reminder for Our Supporters

Beginning December 24, the United States Postal Service will no longer postmark mail at local post offices. Instead, mail will be postmarked at regional distribution centers, which may cause a slight delay in officially dating your charitable gift.

If you’re planning to mail a donation and want it credited for tax purposes in 2025, please be aware that this change could impact the official postmark date.

✅ Easy solution:
Online gifts are recorded immediately and ensure your charitable contribution is credited this year.

👉 Give securely online: www. mahova. org/donate

Thank you for supporting MAHOVA and helping us continue to honor our solemn obligation to care for our Masonic family.

✨ An Evening of Gratitude, Service, and Fellowship ✨

Last evening, our residents were honored with a beautiful Gourmet Candlelight Dinner, served with care and appreciation by the Grand Master, members of the Grand Line and MAHOVA Board of Governors.

This special evening was more than a meal—it was a heartfelt celebration of the men and women who call MAHOVA home and a reminder of the Masonic values that bind us together: service, respect, and brotherly love. From elegant table settings to warm conversation and smiling faces, the night reflected the deep gratitude we hold for our residents and the commitment of those who serve them.

Thank you to our Grand Master, Grand Line and Board of Governors for stepping forward in true Masonic fashion, and to our residents, who are the very heart of MAHOVA – Your Masonic Community.

📸 An evening to remember and a tradition of service we are proud to uphold.

From our family to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas and the happiest of holiday seasons.
