Tuesday, March 04, 2008                     Shriners: Helping kids and having fun....

Our History:

We were chartered in 1956. There is more, which we'll post soon, we're still under construction...

Our Present Goals:

Members have elected to expand our horizons, to attract young men to become members of the greatest philanthropy in the world. The Shrine of North America spends $750,000,000 (that's right, $750 million dollars!!) every year on FREE medical care for disabled and burned kids. The Northwest Shrine Club endeavors to advance the Club's presence in the Whatcom County jurisdiction of Washington State. We want to expand our membership by recruiting young men, by stimulating our membership through fun and heart-warming endeavors on behalf of kids with disabilities. We meet monthly, enjoy community events and activities that take part in the Nile Shrine Center's facilities and activities. Any man over age 21 is eligible to become a Shriner, and we're looking for YOU.

Our Future:

We're not going away. And we're going to become much more visible in the Whatcom County community. We have plans to raise money, have fun, do great things for kids with disabilities, and while we're at it, add to our membership. We want to, we can, and we will.
