Emily and Bob Tibbetts, on behalf of the members of United Commandery and Orient Lodge, presented the proceeds of this year’s Orient Lodge Master’s Appeal to Ted Polonsky of the Aleppo Shriners.

Norwood Masons contributed $4,806.33 for the Aleppo Shriners Children’s Transportation Fund in honor of the Tibbetts’ more than 17,000 hours of volunteerism at Shriners Hospitals for Children–Boston over three decades.

The Shriners Hospital for Children provides care for children in the specialty areas of orthopedics, burn care, spinal cord injury, and cleft lip and palate, regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
