Worshipful Master Jonathan Davies said “Tremendous support from the Henllys Brethren and visitors at the Lodge this evening.” W. Bro. Gerwyn was overcome with pride in receiving the donation from the Brethren.
W. Bro Gerwyn thanked the Lodge and the Brethren, saying,
“Brethren. What you did for my boy last night left me still pinching myself this morning that it actually happened. He’s my stepson but brethren he is such a deserving cause, and I promise you that he will fully appreciate the extremely generous gift you bestowed on him last night. I can count on the fingers of one hand how many times I’ve been moved to tears at events in my life and yesterday evening certainly was one of them. Unfortunately it is left to me, due to his disabilities, to convey his heartfelt gratitude to you all. Another truly amazing act of kindness from the Brethren of Henllys Lodge. We truly have something very special. Let’s look forward to his photos of what will be a trip of a lifetime for him”
