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.

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.
