On Monday, Dec. 9, Ron Wilcox, Gary Kelm, Jon Tamke, and Jim Arvidson of the Birak Shrine Club distributed bags of toys to the Wadena, Perham and Fergus Falls hospitals. The toys are for children that might be hospitalized around the Christmas season and beyond. This project is spearheaded by the Zuhrah Flyers, from the Zuhrah Shrine Center in Minnetonka, Minn. The Birak Shrine Club has over 65 members from the Otter Tail Lakes and surrounding areas. Pictured with the Shriners are some of the nursing staff at Perham Health.
