Are you ready for Supreme Session?

Lots of opportunities to donate to our philanthropy!

Supreme Session will be here before we know it!!  We look forward to getting together with dear friends and meeting new ones.  We hope  you come prepared to share your love for the children.  Some items you won't want to miss:

  • Be sure to bring your western gear for A Taste of Texas for the KIDS! event on Saturday night.  The evening will be filled with fun and laughter, as well as many opportunities to help the children.  Hospital administrators and patients from the hospitals will be available to share with you their experiences and dreams.
  • Stop by the My Gift Incentive Program booth in the Shop 'Til You Drop Marketplace.  New items will be available and there will also be some special deals!  Not attending Supreme Session?  Send your Wish List with another member of your Temple who will be attending.  Items will also be available online in our Shopping Cart immediately following Supreme Session.
  • Don't forget the Silent Auction for Convalescent Endowment Fund.  Lots of goody-packed baskets will be available for bids, including some Buy It Now opportunities.
  • You won't want to miss the unveiling of the fabulous Motor Coach which will begin its Love For the Children Tour immediately following Supreme Session.  You can support the tour by making a donation to the Convalescent Endowment Fund through our online shopping cart, in person at Supreme Session or at any of the tour stops.
  • There will be opportunities to attend breakout sessions on Wednesday afternoon.  The Foundation's Trust and Fiduciary Specialist will be presenting a seminar on Estate Planning, followed by an update on the activities of the Foundation and Shriners Hospitals for Children.

It is an exciting time to be a member of Daughters of the Nile.  As we celebrate our 100th Anniversary, we are reminded of our great philanthropic work – Helping Children.  We look forward to seeing you in Grapevine, Texas.  Be sure to leave room in your suitcase for all the items you will want to purchase to help in the Foundation's mission of Working Together For The Children!
