The local Order of Eastern Star Pickwick # 191 joined with local Masonic Lodge Winona # 18 to donate the first $1,000 to support Winona Health in providing a book for each newborn born at Winona Health. As education, understanding, and growth are all important parts of Freemasonry through the Masonic Lodge and through all Masonic Groups, it was easy for Winona’s Masons and Eastern Star members to decide to come together to provide this service for newborns and their families. Winona Health Manager of Community and Donor Relations, Katrice Sisson, said, “We’re grateful fort his generous gift in support of providing a book for every newborn. Our Pediatricians and staff, who are of course strong advocates for family bonding, learning and literacy, select the books that will be presented to parents of newborns.”
