The "On the Wings of Words" and "RiteCare" videotapes, like the book Masonic Philanthropies, are Masonic classics. Hosted by Ill. Ernest Borgnine, 33°, G.C., "On the Wings of Words" pictures the expanding work of our 165 RiteCare Childhood Language Clinics, Centers, and Program. Similarly, the more recent "RiteCare" videotape from Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas offers glimpses of therapy sessions with children and interviews with parents and clinicians. Either tape makes for an informative, heartwarming brief program for Masonic, civic, and service club meetings.

Like these videotapes, the book Masonic Philanthropies by Dr. S. Brent Morris, 33°, G.C., explains the work of our flagship philanthropy but also touches on the entire spectrum of Masonic service to America. Masons don't like to brag, but we should not hide our light under a bushel either! The book's lavishly illustrated and expanded second edition provides an overview of the history and purpose of Masonry while showing how our Craft and its many Appendant Bodies are supporting a kaleidoscope of philanthropies. These range from medical research and specialty hospitals to scholarships and public buildings. Masonic Philanthropies is especially effective in answering the perennial question, "Just what do Masons do?"
