| On Wednesday April 3 2013 the IPM of Wyre Mark Lodge No 754 VW Bro Captain Walter Porter PGJO presented a cheque for £800 to Trinity Hospice, Blackpool. The donation consisted of charity donations which were made during Walter’s recent two year’s mastership of the lodge together with a very much appreciated ‘top-up’ from the West Lancashire Mark Charities’ Fund. | |
| The presentation was in memory of Walter’s brother, Eric Porter, a prominent businessman who was well known to many local Freemasons, including members of Wyre Mark Lodge. Sadly, Eric died in the hospice in 2011 whilst Walter was the lodge’s WM. | |

Linzi, on behalf of Trinity Hospice’s patients and staff, asked Walter to convey a big thank you to the members of Wyre Mark Lodge and the WLMCF for their very generous donation. |
