Montana Daughters of the Nile, Quilts for Shriners Hospital for Children

Sapphira Temple 79 Queen to visit Helena
Carol Huston, Queen of Sapphira Temple No. 79, Daughters of The Nile, will make her official visit to Helena Sewing Unit No. 1, on Monday, Dec. 13. A buffet meal will be held in her honor at the Macaroni Grill, 2790 N. Washington St., with a social hour at 6 p.m. and dinner at 6:30 p.m.

Daughters of the Nile, founded in 1913, is a benevolent international organization for women related by birth or marriage to a Shriner, Master Mason or Daughter of the Nile. This organization raises money for The Daughters of the Nile Foundation, which is to be used in the care of the children in the Shriners Hospitals for Children as well as purchase of prostheses, braces, special shoes and items needed for outpatient care of children treated at the Shriners Hospitals.
Sapphira Temple members in central and northern Montana also donate quilts, clothes, toys, games and books for the Shriners Hospital in Spokane. They also donate linens, blankets, TV sets and pictures for two rooms that are used to house families of those children being treated at the hospital. All of this, with no charge to the children or their families. For dinner reservations, call Carynn LeMieux, 443-5495, or Karen Burk 442-6904. Dinner tickets are $20. Make checks payable to: Helena Unit No. 1,
