Welcome
to the Website of Allegheny Valley Caravan No. 16!
Those of you who do
not know what the Shrine is all about, let us tell you! It is all about
helping children through the Shriners Hospitals! Be sure to follow the
link to the Shriners of North America to learn more about the only
Hospitals to provide free care to children regardless of their
race, creed, or religion. In fact, the only requirement is that the child
be in need of help that the Hospitals can provide. The Shriners Hospitals
for Children do an amazing job. Did you know they have no billing
department? That's right, they don't charge the families of the patients
nor any insurance companies. One thing they do have is a dedicated, caring
staff of health care professionals!
As always, Caravan
No. 16 tries to have some fun and our Website is no different. We have
links to other Shrine and Masonic related sites as well as those we find
interesting. If you would like to submit a link, please let our Webmaster
know via Email.
The photos in our
Photo Album are from various events we have had. Make sure you check out
the ones from the Children's Christmas Party, they're GREAT! Don't forget
to check our schedule for dates, times, and locations of our upcoming
events.
Be sure to read about
the Caravan's history which includes a section about joining the Caravan,
the Shrine, and other Masonic related bodies. If you're already a member
of the Shrine, come on out to one of events and you will see what a good
time we have. If you're not a member of the Shrine but think you might
like to be, Email us and let us know of your interest. We'll provide you
with the information you seek and an invitation to our next event.
