I love hearing about new organizations, especially ones as interesting and civic-minded as this one. The Daughters of the Nile is holding a fundraiser for special children that receive care at Shriners Hospitals for Children. The annual Card and Games Party is Jan. 27, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Abba Shrine Center at 7701 Hitt Road.

Come for the card games, bunco, dominoes and lunch for $10. Stay for door prizes, a silent auction and a cake sale. You can also buy a chance to win $100, and who couldn’t use that after the holidays?

All the proceeds benefit the Shriners Hospitals. For details, call Barbara Winstead at 251-660-1217 or Mildred Houston at 251-344-4572.

Daughters of the Nile is a fraternal organization for women related by birth or marriage to a Shriner, Master Mason or another Daughter of the Nile. The local temple Niad Number 109 is led by five line officers and Queen Loran Chavez. The line officers are Princess Royal Dorothy Oliver, Princess Tirzah Barbara Winstead, Princess Badoura Linda Boullion-Smith, Princess Recorder Past Queen Gail Payne and Princess Banker Bessie Bullington. Temple Niad Number 109 is known as the Doll Temple, as its members send dolls with clothes and accessories to the Shreveport Shriners Hospital.
