Shriners Present Check
Two very happy groups of kids and staff at the Shriners Twin Cities Clinic . Who were very pleased with the donation that they received June 21 , 2022 from the Shriner ; Merton Omtvedt ; Po . L . K . of A Klub and the Po . L . K . of A King and Queen .
We had a great day at the Horsemen ranch with children from the Shriners Children ’ s Twin Cities clinic . The kids enjoyed learning about equine healthcare including watching a Ferrier hammer and fit shoes for horses and they watched a Veternarian work on a horse ’ s teeth . They also got to meet three of the finest Minneapolis Mounted Police officers and their service horses . They also enjoyed lots of horse rides . During a lunch break in the clubhouse , the children got to pick out plush stuffed animals as gifts to bring home . At the end of their visit , the Shriners provided the clinic a donation check .
