ROYAL ARCH MASONS OF MANITOBA PHILANTHROPIC FUND PRESENTATION

The Royal Arch Masons of Manitoba were proud and pleased to present a cheque of $4500.00 to Lois Weidman, Representing “CAMP QAULITY MB” - an organization whose objective is “Lifting the spirits of children with cancer.”.  This cheque will enable children and their companions to attend a week long camp at Brereton Lake.

Camp Quality is a not for profit, volunteer based organization with year-round activities conducted with both medical professionals and volunteers.  Its programs are designed to give the affected children  ranging in age from 3 to 18 years of age an opportunity to “just kids’” and provide support for their families.

This presentation was made on Tuesday, July 22, at the Shrine House on behalf of the Royal Arch Masons of Manitoba’s Philanthropic Fund. This is an annual presentation for which money is raised by the Companions and their families.  The Philanthropic Project has given out a total of $113,500.00 to non-profit organizations and groups in need of financial support since 1983.  Each year, at the Annual Royal Arch Masonic Convocation, all Manitoba Chapters are asked to nominate an organization or group they deem worthy of receiving the funding.  All the attendees vote on which organization will be the worthiest one to receive our funding.  This year the Camp Quality MB was the chosen recipient.
