Bob Polzine and Jon Tamke, members of the Birak Area Shrine Club (Otter Tail Lakes Area), recently made a presentation at the Shriners Children’s Clinic in Woodbury, Minn. Polzine, left, displays the assortment of Christmas bags sewed by his wife Jeanette, who is a member of the Birak Ladies Auxiliary. She made 53 of the bags, along with 38 fleece blankets, all which were donated to the Woodbury clinic. The Christmas bags will be filled with toys for the patients who visit the clinic. Tamke, center, is presenting checks to Jennifer Sutch, Director of Development at Shriners Children’s. A check was given to each of the programs at Shriners Children’s Twin Cities: $1,000 to Child Life (camps for patients), $1,000 to Outreach, and $1,000 to POPS (prosthetic and orthotic devices). The funds were generated from the Birak Kar Kor go-cart parade unit account.
