Mini Lizzies, Maxi Good for Kids: Engaging Spouses

[TITLE CARD] Noble Academy logo; Shriners International Education Foundation presents: Mini Lizzies, Maxi Goods for Kids: Engaging Spouses.

[SLIDE 1] Mini Lizzies, Maxi Good for Kids – Inclusiveness.

We recognize that our spouses, partners, and significant others play a vital role in our success in promoting Shriners Children and Shrinedom.

This does not go unnoticed, as Lady Janet Gould of the Modesto Shriner Club has said, “As a proud Shriner wife, we are grateful that we are invited to participate in activities.”

“Shriners made it a point to include their wives and girlfriends in their activities. We appreciate it!” Lady Mystie Leib, Modesto Shrine Club.

Speaker 1:

So what you're seeing now is an example of how we use inclusiveness to build and sustain our chapter. We recognize that our spouses and significant others are hugely important to the work we do. Promoting Shriners Children, investing the time and effort to make sure we demonstrate that we recognize the roles our families play in our work, pays benefits to the club and gets the advantage of a more diverse perspective. I've been in open meetings where a spouse saw something we missed in a conversation, brought it to our attention, resulting in an enhanced decision that was more broad based. Remember Nobles, they know in which tents and in which caravan you sleep.
