Contributions over ten years exceed a quarter of a million dollars, with 25 percent of annual drives funded by the order. Also, Meritorious Service Jewels were awarded to Ted Revell and Edgar Adey. A new program to promote pediatric amblyopia diagnosis and therapy was approved, linking with Eye Bank and Johns Hopkins Chair. Ten Manitoba students will join the Youth Pilgrimage to New York. Parkissimo Hockey standings showed Lenore leading with 5 1 2, Elkhorn 4 1 2, and Decker, Hamiota, and Minotai near the bottom with one game remaining.
