Albert Lea Area Shrine Club News


May, 2008
Nobles,

Our April meeting at Signatures was a success thanks to Bob Hahn's telephone committee. We had 40 people enjoy the evening. Dr. Skorin from the Albert Lea Eye Clinic was our guest speaker. He gave a talk and showed slides of his experience in Ukraine and of the differences in medical practice there compared to here. and how antiquated the practice is there. We should be very thankful we live in these great United States.

I received a report from our Divan stating the Circus was a big success with 2,000 more visitors this year, thanks to the new advertising they did.

Hospital Visitation Day is May 16, this would be a great opportunity for every one to see how the Hospital works and to meet all the support people.
