To All Tabloid Chairmen, All Club Presidents, and Unit Directors:
Happy and Healthful New Year!
It is our pleasure to announce our Annual Tabloid Training Seminar for Aladdin
Shriners. This seminar will be just for Tabloid - nothing else! It will be held
on April 16, 2011 Saturday), at our Center. We will start with coffee and
doughnuts at 10:00AM The seminar will open promptly at 10:10AM and will close
promptly at 12:10 PM . Lunch will be served.
After lunch you can pick up your Tabloids!
Due to rising hospital costs out pacing our income Shriners Hospitals for
Children is currently operating at at 238 Million dollar deficit. Just to keep
services going we are spending 6.5% of our endowment fund. Medical costs
continue to go up. More children than ever before are requiring the use of our
hospitals. Naturally, this means the we will have to supply more funds to get
the job done. In fact, we need to supply more funds just to keep our 22
hospitals operating!
Our goal this year is to have 100% participation by every Shriner to reach
$300,000.00!
To do this we need a Tabloid Chairman in every Club and Unit, no matter how big
or how small, we need the support of every Club and Unit, no matter how big or
how small. We are asking that each President and / or Director look forward to
this coming year and appoint a Tabloid Chairman for 2011 right now! We realize
some clubs and Units do not have Tabloid Chairmen and in part that is why our
donations are forty-five percent (45%) less than we contributed in 2007.
WE NEED THE COOPERATION OF EVERY NOBLE IN THIS EFFORT.
If, for any reason you cannot be at our Seminar, or your Tabloid Chairman cannot
be there, PLEASE, see to it that a responsible party from your Unit or Club is
there. This is a top priority meeting. Much information and material will be
issued. Top flight speakers will be there. You Don't Want To Miss This One!
Please call Gail and let her know you are going to attend!
