Hospital Dads
STATEWIDE
The Hospital Dads is a group of Shriners who volunteer their time to transport Shriners Hospitals for Children® patients and their family to either the Chicago or Twin Cities hospitals. Zor Shriners have hospital transport vans located in Madison, Janesville, La Crosse, Eau Claire, Wausau and Wisconsin Rapids. When a van makes a trip, in addition to the driver there must be a rider who is not related to the patient. Therefore, if you do not want to be a driver you can volunteer to be a rider. Sometimes the days can be long, by the time you travel from your home base to pick up the patient, then to the Hospital, deliver the patient home then back to your home base. However, the reward is great. To see the results of the care provided to the children by Shriners Hospitals for Children® and the appreciation of the family makes you feel great to be a Shriner.There are occasional training session, throughout the State, for drivers and riders to help understand policies and procedures. If you are not already a Hospital Dad, why not get your name on the Chairman’s list.

Zor Imagineers
ZORWIDE
The birth date of Zor Geekz was February 2010 under the direction of Joe Thompson PP 2010. We are the first Technology Unit in all of Shrinedom. Under the direction of Bob Gorsuch PP 2013, a long-range strategic plan for Zor was developed with communications to be addressed. Under the direction of Chuck Miller PP 2017, the technology group was rejuvenated with this purpose and renamed the Zor Imagineers by incoming 2018 MarCom director Steve Livernash. Implementing the communications upgrade from the plan, the team excelled. Improving communications between all Shrinedom Nobles is our goal. Zor has been recognized by Shriners International by receiving numerous Dromedary awards.
Communications have many channels these days. People use new technologies to interact, while others do not or have the know-how to do so. Learn, share, & educate. Since the 1980s technology has changed from 3-day handwritten letters to 5-second smartphone instant messages. Our mission is to unify Zor Shriner's generational gaps & office communications. Provide awareness avenues of interaction & enhance Zor's public image. Simplify & connect our membership with modern technologies. If you have a passion to create or just have an idea, contact us and become part of the excitement.
Imagination + Engineers = Imagineers
