President's Message

Hi Ladies,

Happy New Year and Welcome to 2025!

Our wonderful year celebrates the Khartum Ladies Auxiliary, women who have made the past 100 years of raising funds to benefit disabled children, so successful!  We have survived and thrived through depression, wars, epidemics, floods and sicknesses.

We have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Shrine Children, Children's Rehab Hospital and Shrine Transportation Fund delivering children to specialized care.  We support communications through computers, support mobility through specialized equipment and support families through transportation in partnership with the Shrine Transportation Fund, the Children's Rehab Hospital and the Masonic family of organizations.

In the coming year we will gather, recognize our accomplishments and set new goals that will take us into the future.

Thank you to one and all for your efforts this year and al the years to come!

Sincerely,
Maureen Hardy
President KLA 2025
