Ali Ghan Shriner's Check Presentation
Proceeds from the CCI 2007 Convention, Hagerstown, MD
In a fitting sequel to the Hagerstown Convention,
a delegation of HMCCC members recently traveled to Cumberland,
MD to present a check to the Shriners. The Ali Ghan Shriners
provide transportation for sick children and their families
to Shriners Childrens Hospitals and HMCCC’s $3767.63
donation will be used in the purchase of a Toyota mini-van
for that purpose.
Ed and Barbara Zimmerman, Butch and Sissy Riley, Earl Chesley,
and Carroll Anderson made the trip the Ali Ghan Shriner’s
facility in Cumberland to make the presentation. A passionate
and eloquent Ed Z received a standing ovation from Shriners,
their Ladies and Guests when he thanked them for the wonderful
work they and their organization do for sick children. The
Shriners were clearly moved by Ed’s remarks and HMCCC’s
donation. We all second Ed in stating our donation is the
least we could do considering the work the Shriner’s
do on behalf of sick children.
Carroll Anderson, Glenn Markley and Ed Zimmerman
All of the delegation feels it was an honor
to represent HMCCC in making this presentation. Convention
Chairman Carroll Anderson said tapping Ed to make the presentation
was his last, and best, delegation.
