Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been online much lately but here is a "taste" :laugh: of where your BBQ dinner money went.
Mannford Masonic Lodge #515 donated $300 dollars to the Akdar Shrine for financial support of the Shriner's Hospital in Shreveport, LA. The funds were matched by the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma. There is only one cash register at any Shriner's Hospital and that is at the Snack Bar. The most expensive item is 30 cents! All other costs are covered by donatations. Thank you everyone for your help in giving.
If you know of a child that is in need of speech or hearing therapy, crippling disablilities, or burns, PLEASE contact a Masonic Lodge near you or contact me. No child or family will be turned away for a lack of ability to pay, PERIOD. If you attend a parade this upcoming Holiday season, if a Shriner's group is participating, please help them with anything you can. Your donations are put to work helping kids. Thank you all for eating dinner with us at Dirtweek 2003.
<self edit> Additional proceeds have yet to be committed. When the funds reach their final distination I will update everyone.<self edit>
Pictured below are the men that helped serve the BBQ at DW03, my Dad, Jesse D. was off playing Blue Grass in MO when this pic was taken. O. J. Roland was also unavailable at the time the picture was taken. The number on 'Brutus' is my lodges' number.:)
