Welcome
Greetings Nobles, Ladies and Friends!
As Potentate it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website. Our goal is to make this site informative and entertaining for the Nobles of Osiris Shrine and you! We have embraced technology to help us fulfill our mission supporting Shriners' Hospitals for Children. Here you will find information about our hospitals and the services we provide, our fraternity, and the activities of our Divan, Clubs and Units. Immediately below you will find the Announcements section of the website where we post information about events and activities coming up in the very near future. We also post information we think will be of special interest to the Osiris Shrine family and our friends in the announcements area just below. Come back often because this information changes regularly.
All Shriners are dedicated men with a common goal of helping children. Our fraternity, founded in fun, is committed to helping children with burns or orthopedic problems, regardless of their ability to pay.

Numerous Elm Grove residence shared their disappointment noting that they had grown up with the tree always there. It was part of their lives.
When Gene Sligar, who had the task of removing the tree, remarked that the best testimony to a tree is to leave part of it standing ideas on how to mark its important in history began to form. We wanted to satisfy the community at educate passersby of the significance of the tree and the grounds on which it stood and at the same time make them aware of what Osiris Shriners do for children in need of specialized medical care.
It was decided to place brick walkways leading to the base of the tree, and add bench is made of some of the wood making a park like setting. Bronze plaque and printed with information will be placed in the area as well.
4 x 8 inch personalized bricks will make up the walkway. See the sample. To share in memorializing the Witness Tree we will be selling personalized breaks for $100 each. Click here to complete the form to order yours today. Order Form
