A tradition since the mid-1950’s involves members and friends of the Austin Shrine Club collecting for the Salvation Army and the Red Kettle Campaign the first Friday in December. Their efforts this year resulted in approximately $11,000, which included a $5,000 match from Minnesota Masonic Charities.
