November 2018 Edition 3443 South Galena St., Denver, Colorado 80231 Hospital Night and Open Meeting Join us Monday November 12th to hear firsthand the benefit of our fraternal philanthropy; Shriners Hospitals for Children. Hospital night is when we invite one of our patients to be our dinner guest and speak about the care he has received. This year we are honored to have Cameron Watters and his family as our guest. Cameron is a patient at our Salt Lake City Hospital. Noble Cary Williams and I had the pleasure of visiting with Cameron and his Grandparents at the Arvada Parade. He is a very expressive young man. Attend the November 12th Shrine meeting to meet Cameron. Hear how our efforts and continued support of our Shriners Hospitals for Children make a difference in lives.
