HOSPITAL SERVICES
Here we go again, beginning the year with a strong start. Once again, the Lancaster area is taking the
lead in providing transports to the Shrine Hospital. While the rest of us are off to a slower start, we are
confident that the requests for transportation will increase soon.
Our list of drivers is growing as well, as we have several Nobles expressing an interest in being part of
this rewarding experience. If any Nobles are interested in joining, let us know.
An extra effort will be made this year to get our HSU parade float out of mothballs and into action.
Noble President Ken Flynn is determined to have the float displayed to the public. It serves as a great
publicity tool to make everyone on the parade route aware of our service to the Hospital and the Children
to whom we serve. This too is an opportunity for any Noble wishing to help. We will need towing vehicles
Walter Lamm and drivers for them to pull the float to and from the parades, as well as in the parade itself.
Here’s to a healthy and prosperous new year for Rajah Shrine, Shrine Children’s Hospital, and more importantly, the kids. After
all, it’s all about the kids.
