While the article says that she might have several months of hospital time I wouldn’t bet on it.

Last year my Lodge was informed that the Shriners were closing a couple of their burn hospitals. It wasn’t a money issue even though several of us were reaching for our wallets. It turns out that the treatments for burns have advanced to the point that most of the victims take about 1/3 of the time they took 10 years ago. I hope she is as lucky.

For those who don’t know, the Freemasons also support heart research, juvenile spinal cord research, diabetes research, and a host of other medical related projects. I know because I am one.

TB1Ask1 - it is the second best question a man can ask.

Yes we do. Now it's time for you to become one (if you happen to be male, if not, get your hubby going, you will be his female counterpart).

The first step is to seek out a local Mason and become one.

After becoming a Mason, you can join the Shriners and help the burn and orthopedic hospitals.

This is one of many traditional and historical organizations that has had declining membership due to distractions such as sitcoms, etc.

Without your help, the Shriners Hospitals will cease to exist.

Then guess what? Hillary will want the Government to take over.
