Masonic motorcycle club to raise funds for veterans

The Masonic Motorcycle Club Chapter 38 and the Watsontown, Pennsylavania American Legion Post 323 have teamed up to raise money for patients at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Wilkes-Barre.

The event this Saturday, March 31, will feature live entertainment, auctions and raffles this Saturday at the American Legion hall on Main Street in Watsontown.

Bro. Andy Kline of the Masonic Motorcycle Club said many local businesses have donated prizes, refreshments and other items so that all of the donations will go towards the purchase of coupon books for the patients that can be used in the hospital’s commissary.

"Every cent we raise is going right back to the veterans," he said.

Who's that clown on your front porch? A Shriner, collecting for charity

Shriners in Memphis, Tennesee and other cities are using a novel way to get people who promise to donate after being called by telemarketers to actually give the money, WREG-TV reports.

"Leave a check under your doormat," they say.

The next day, a Shriner or a paid agent for the Shrine picks up the check and leaves a receipt.

Hey... if it works, go for it. Just don't call me.
