The South Plains Shrine Club will host their first ever Badge Appreciation Night at their stated meeting on Monday, August 15th, 2016.
The Shriners are inviting all area law enforcement and first responders to come out and be recognized, learn about what the Shrine does for children in Texas, and discuss ways that the Shriners can partner with law enforcement.
Shriners have a burn hospital in Galveston and the children’s orthopedic hospital in Houston, and the organization works hard across the South Plains to support these facilities so that no child is turned away – regardless of their family’s ability to pay.
The meeting will be held at the Khiva South Plains Shrine Club, located at 7412 83rd Street in Lubbock, and the dress is business casual or uniform.
The meet and greet will begin at 7:15 p.m., with the meal and presentation beginning at 7:30 p.m. The meal will include BBQ brisket, sausage, beans, potato salad, peach cobbler, and more.
Lubbock Police, Lubbock Fire Rescue, EMS, and the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office personnel have been invited, and the event is open to all area first responders.
