| Carl and Robert Lindner help Syrian Shrine
Pay-off Their Mortgage
Without a doubt you are about to embark on one of the most exciting times
in recent Syrian Shrine history. At this very exciting time Syrian is preparing
to open a new chapter by securing its future. We are building our tomorrow’s
today.
You know that the Lindner family was instrumental in kicking off the
“Richard E. Parker Memorial Fund” with a challenge to the Syrian
Shrine family, that, if we as members could raise $400,000.00, they would
match that donation.
And now, they have gone further and decided to help us pay-off our mortgage,
that’s a $550,000.00 donation, no strings. This leaves us just $50,000
away from obtaining our goal; all they ask is for us as members to believe
in the fraternity and our heritage. Help make this shining dream come true,
no matter how large or small your gift may be, it is deeply valued. Your
financial encouragement means so much as we work together to make a splendid
tomorrow for Syrian and our Shrine future.
The Lindner family never gives to get, they give because they have received.
They believe that giving can be compared to a muscle. To be strong, you
have to exercise. You can’t really enjoy anything without sharing it.
This includes your faith, love, talents and money. They never really give;
they are only returning and sharing a small portion of what they have received.
Carl and Robert learned that being thankful covers it all - “In
everything give thanks, for this is the will of God concerning you in Christ.”
You may not always be sure of God’s will. You may not be sure you’re
doing God’s will. But you can always be His will by thanking Him for
all things.
There are many thoughts the Lindner family would like to share with the
members of Syrian Shrine. They want you to remember why you joined the Shrine,
to help heal the children who suffer from burns and crippling diseases,
and that mission here in Cincinnati must continue.
Robert Lindner’s quote - “The Lord has blessed Carl and me
so much that we are happy to preserve this part of masonry as it is a strong
part of our heritage from our Dad. I am really happy the burden will be
lifted, as Carl and I do not want to see Syrian Shrine disappear or suffer
financially with the burden of the mortgage any longer.”
By moving from darkness to light together we will make a difference |
