I would like to share a little about an organization I have been a member of since 2004, the Shriners.
Supporting hospitals around the nation that provide specialized care for children, the Shriners actively participate in service to their community. Shriners Hospitals provide children up to the age of 18 with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate care in a family-centered environment with no financial obligation to patients or families.
You can learn more about the Shriners hospitals at http://www.shrinershq.org/Hospitals/Main.
Beginning Sunday, the Blue Springs Shrine Club will be selling freshly harvested Vidalia onions to raise funds for the local club and Ararat Shrine Temple. The onions will be available daily at the parking lot entrance to Adams Dairy Landing on the east side of Adams Dairy Parkway (in front of Target) until all are sold. They are available in 10-pound bags for $10 and half bags for $5.
We appreciate your support of our local Shriners organization.
