Somewhat to my surprise, that sounds like fun... what's it take to be a Shriner, anyway?

As you can see on three occassions, we do two parades in one day.

To answer your question Mr. MacDougall, You have to be a Mason first.

The parades are fun, but the greatest thing about being a Shriner is the kids that we help at our 22 Shriner Hospitals for Children in North America

As a pediatric nurse, I'm familiar with the good work Shriners do, both in your own hospitals, and in other hospitals.

Mr. MacDougall,

There are very few, that understand that. We not only raise money for our hospitals, but raise money for Shriners Research Center. That ends up in other hospitals.

As a member of the Shrine Clown unit, I raise alot of money for Burn research. The Boston Shriners Hospital for Children is the leader in Burn Research. The Shriners Hospital in Boston is a 30-bed pediatric burn hospital providing comprehensive acute care and reconstructive and rehabilitative care to children who have been burned. There is no charge to the patient or family for any of the medical care or services provided by Shriners Hospitals. This hospital is one of 22 Shriners Hospitals throughout North America.

Tonight I attended the raising of a Master Mason his name is Dan Hess. He is the father of the Hess Twin, two little girls that when they were 18 months. They were badly burned and became Shriner Kids since than the Shrine Clowns go to thier Birthday Party every year. This pass July they had thier 9th birthday. Dan decided he wanted to give back, and become a Shriner.

This is just one of the GREAT STORIES...

It is GREAT to see some GOOD THINGS re the MANY good works of such a fine and ancient tradition. The pivotal time in my own life came from my time spent as a chaplain in Scottish Rites Children's Hospital.
