 The Valley of Houston Scottish Rite challenges area masonic lodges to participate in a toy drive donation event benefit for the Scottish RIte for Children Hospital in Dallas.
The lodge donating the most toys (see listing below) between September first and December first will set down to a Christmas Dinner provided - and served - by the Valley of Houston at the winning lodge's first stated meeting following the contest. That's right: A-Winner-EAT-All evening at the expense of the Valley of Houston Scottish Rite. Those who may not be familiar with the Hospital's history should know that the Scottish Rite for Children Hospital was established in 1921 when a group of Texas Freemasons approached orthopedic surgeon W B Carrell, MD – Dallas first orthopedic specialist – about the possibility of providing care for children suffering from Polio. The non-profit facility, located at 2222 Welborn St, Dallas 75219, currently has 100 patient beds and, still a pediatric operation, specializes in treatment of orthopedic conditions and sports injuries; including certain related arthritic, neurological, and learning disorders including dyslexia. Patient service is free for those without insurance. Insured individuals are not billed for expenses not paid by their insurance company. It is affiliated with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center – listed among the Top 5% US News Best Hospitals Honor Roll. It specializes in medical education and clinical care.
