Shriners holding recycling driveLocal Shriners are setting up 20 large yellow bins at city schools and businesses to collect pop cans for recycling as part of a new fundraising drive. The goal of the Brantford Shrine Club is to raise $10,000 for a London-based Shriners initiative. The Mocha Shriners Orthopedic Telemedicine Service will allow video link hookups with patients to facilitate long-distance consultation and diagnosis with London physicians, said local membership chairman Dean Bauer. As well, Brant Masonic Lodge 45 is planning a child identification program for Canada Day at Cockshutt Park. Bauer said that Masons will erect a 40-foot by 40-foot tent at the park where parents can bring their children to complete a free identification kit. The kit will include fingerprints, photograph, audio and video, all of which will be burned onto a CD for the parents to keep. Some dental impressions may also be taken, Bauer said. |
Brantford Shrine Club Donation
Local Shrine Club makes a big impact on new paediatric infant security systems at the Brantford General site of the Brant Community Healthcare System.
The Brantford Shrine Club donation of $94,914.58 will help support a new infant security system for our family birthing centre unit and a paediatric security system at the Brantford General site. Local Shriners raise funds through their Christmas cake sales and by co-sponsoring the official Shrine Circus held in Cambridge June 17-19.
The Shriners Club is a fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. Their main goal is to provide care for sick children through a network of Shriners Hospitals for Children across North America.
Thank you, Brantford Shrine Club, for your kindness and generosity. Your donation will go a long way in providing a quality security system for the young patients and parents at the BCHS.
