2011 Kismet Holiday Party

December - Our clowns were entertaining kids at the annual AHRC Babylon Masons Holiday Party

Kismet Clowns have been sharing their love with the children of this Babylon school for over ten years,
According to Magee the Clown, "It really is rewarding to see the pleasure in their eyes when they see a clown.
Even though they can't express their happiness. You just have too look into their eyes and see how they are
glowing with happiness. That is when we enjoy being a clown."

Kismet Shrine Scoliosis Screening Clinic at El Puente, Brooklyln NY

On November 19, 2011, a health screening clinic was held in the Williamsburg community of Brooklyn, NY. Shriners teamed up with a local community group, El Puente, who sponsored the well-attended event.

Kismet Shriners planned to hold a clinic this fall .We were asked by Shriners Hospital in Philadelphia to consider holding a Scoliosis Screening Clinic for inner city children. Because a clinic in this inner city area had not been held for many years we researched many venues and options. It was felt that because Mecca Shriners is a neighboring Shrine that is part of New York City, it would benefit the target audience to ask Mecca to join us. After going to the local politicians looking for a location we were told about a local organization that helps the local community with health issues, El Puente. We had numerous meetings to plan setup this clinic. We now have a working relationship with this large Spanish community and are now looked at as a resource in the area to help children. The Shriners booklets in English and Spanish are now part of there
