THE WILSON C. & EDNA P. WOODS MASONIC SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The Wilson C. and Edna P. Woods Masonic Scholarship Fund was established by Wilson C. and Edna P. Woods as a result of their desire to leave a lasting legacy to qualified Beaver Dam High School graduates to help them become better prepared to assume future leadership roles in their respective communities. “Eddie” and “Bill” wished to identify the scholarship as a Masonic Scholarship to reflect their belief in the principles of Freemasonry - “A brotherhood of men of good moral character who share in a common belief in God, family and in acting to improve themselves for the benefit of the community, their country and the world.” Bill was a member of the Dodge County Masonic Lodge #72, Free and Accepted Masons for many years. Bill and Eddie desired to give back to the community in which they had resided for many years for the goodness that they had received.
