OETA
 |
For some years now, the Lodges in Oklahoma have sponsored the finest television to be seen on Public Television in our state. The Lodges raise funds, ideally by holding a public fund-raiser, and then send those funds to the Masonic Charity Foundation of Oklahoma. The Foundation matches the funds and accumulates them, making note of the total contribution of each Lodge.

"Masons Night"
On “Masons Night”, the last Saturday night of the spring OETA Festival, members of the fraternity man the telephones and take pledges. The Grand Master is interviewed on camera, and the names of the Lodges and amount of their contribution “crawl” across the bottoms of television sets across the state.
The publicity of Masons Night is good, of course, but the real benefit comes six times each week when the programs we sponsor are preceded and followed by an announcement, complete with animation, that the program was made possible by the Masonic Fraternity in Oklahoma. |
