PRESQUE ISLE, Maine - May 2010 - The Sisters of Kappa Mu chapter recently ran away to join the circus; The Anah Temple Shrine Circus, to be exact. The circus was held May 6th, 7th & 8th at the Forum in Presque Isle, Maine, but the sisters of Kappa Mu chapter started their work the day before, working straight through the end of the circus.

Many sisters, both active and alumnae, volunteered their time to spin cotton candy sold at the circus, with proceeds benefiting the Shriners Hospital for Children. The sisters of Kappa Mu chapter have worked with the Shriners for several years including their ongoing efforts to donate to the Shriners’ Can Tabs Collection Program, which has run since 1989.
