DONOR RELATIONS<br />
Jon Swartz<br />
Greetings from Donor Relations. As usual, it was a busy year for our nobles, their<br />
ladies, families and friends who help us raise funds for Shriners’ Hospital and for our<br />
<strong>Rajah</strong> Transportation Fund. My thanks and appreciation go out to all who help with<br />
our fundraising events, especially our multiple crusades throughout the year. Without<br />
your help, we would not have raised $12,164.68 from our hospital crusades in 2016.<br />
As the years go forward, we have less available help to collect these funds<br />
and to let the world know who we are and what we do as Shriners and Shrine<br />
supporters. The new banners and stands are terrific! To all our incoming members<br />
and our less-active existing members, please consider helping with our crusades.<br />
You do not have be a member of any club or unit to help, just inquire with any<br />
club or unit President or Secretary to be a part of their efforts at the assigned<br />
location. The rewards are endless.<br />
In addition to the efforts in our crusades, many clubs and units provide generous<br />
contributions to our hospital and our transportation fund during the formal ceremonial.<br />
To those clubs and units, I offer a resounding “THANK YOU.” <strong>Rajah</strong> Temple is one of the busiest transporters of<br />
patients to our Philadelphia hospital. Our Philadelphia hospital is one of the most successful and productive hospitals<br />
in our network. Thus, your contributions are being used responsibly with great appreciation by our many patients and<br />
their families.<br />
My best to all for a happy and healthy holiday season and for a successful 2017.<br />
