REGIUS MANUSCRIPT

Hie incipiunt constituciones artis gemetriae
secundum Eucyldem.Whose wol bothe wel rede and loke,
He may fynde wryte yn olde boke
Of grete lordys and eke ladyysse,
That hade mony chyldryn y-fere, y-wisse;
And hade no rentys to fynde hem wyth,
Here begin the constitutions of the art
of Geometry according to Euclid.Whoever will both well read and look
He may find written in old book
Of great lords and also ladies,
That had many children together, certainly;
And had no income to keep them with,

On October 27, 2017, Brother Neal Roberts, Past Master of the Richardson Masonic Lodge, hosted a twitch.tv event to raise money for the Scottish Rite Hospital. Two eight-man teams were paired against each other to speed run Diablo 2. During the event people could donate money for certain incentives such as stripping or giving weapons to one team or the other. This successful even raised $15,000 for the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital and Brother Neal Roberts, due to one contribution had to dye his beard green.

We hope to do this event again in the near future.
