    Kempsville High School Football Game

    Event Details: Kempsville High School Football Game

    Kempsville High School Football Games

    It's the last game of the season! Join us this Friday, November 6th at 7PM, as we finish up our support of the Kempsville High Football Team.

    We will need 5 Masons to assist with cooking and serving concessions at the Kempsville Chiefs football games. This will be supporting the Kempsville band and can be used as a means to cultivate fellowship while performing civic volunteering. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Brother John Donahue. Names are required to be submitted to the school beforehand to allow entry.

    Even if you're not able or needed to volunteer, come on out and enjoy the game and some Lodge fellowship.
