Members of the Orion Masonic Lodge #46 helped make it a special Christmas for some underprivileged children on Saturday.
The organization hosted about 20 kids, with the presentation of gifts, a magician and a special visit from Santa Claus, himself.
Masonic Junior Deacon Mark Meyer said the organization takes part in various benevolent activities during the course of the year, but is sometimes overlooked for its efforts.
The Orion Masonic Lodge #46 was founded in 1852, and has been a mainstay in the community ever since.
Meetings take place the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Lodge at 25 N. Broadway St. The meetings are held upstairs.
