SCOTTISH RITE CHARITIES
N.C. Scottish Rite Masonic Foundation, Inc. One of God's Greatest miracles
is that of communication. Only man has been given this power to communicate.
Communication is the essence of family life. Although most of us seem to
learn to communicate with little difficulty, not all of us are equally
blessed. Thousands
of Children in our jurisdiction are afflicted by their inability to communicate.
Unless something is done, they face a lifetime of being unable to read
or unable to be understood. Although many of them carry the technical label
of "aphasic" or "dyslexic," they all have a problem
of communication. These children are not lazy, not retarded, not emotionally
disturbed. They are a great concern to all of us who love them. They and
their families must be helped. Thanks to the North Carolina Scottish Rite
Masonic Foundation, Inc., help is available. Funds were provided to establish
clinics at Appalachian State University and East Carolina University, where
programs for these children and their families have been in operation for
several years. A third clinic was established at the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte In July 1988, and in January 1993, it was moved to
the Scottish Rite Temple on Randolph Rd. in Charlotte. Specialists and
public school teachers have been trained, and thousands of children have
been evaluated and treated in these clinics. The need is great and your
help is needed if we are to significantly reduce the impact of childhood
language disorders on future generations. All contributions to the Foundation
are tax deductible. To make a contribution, make your check payable to:
