JUNE 20, 2018 - Congratulations to all of our MCC members who donated their images to grace the walls of the examination rooms, lab and test rooms, offices, conference rooms, bedrooms, etc. at the Shriners Hospitals for Children. See top image for some of our members who were present.
We were offered a tour around the hospital, displaying our different images on the walls. This was followed by a cocktail reception, wine and cheese. The second image shows the different Shriners' executives sitting on the Board of Directors, coming from all provinces of Canada and even some states of USA for a monthly board meeting. Glad we could squeeze most of them in one photo (June 20-2018) |
