Potentate’s Report Spring certainly has taken it’s time arriving this year however; through rain or snow the Divan has been extremely busy since January 11th. We have attended eleven Installations, a couple of Official/Ladies Nights and several excellent Shrine and Masonic gatherings, celebrations and an excellent Shrine/Masonic Showcase.

On Sunday, March 17th we had the great pleasure of witnessing the Omar

Temple No. 111, Daughters of the Nile Installation of Officers and the crowning of Queen Evelyn Hawkins. The ritual and ceremonies were absolutely top-notch and it was an honour to be included in this special event. Good luck to all and to Past Queen Sandra Rank – it was indeed a pleasure sharing leadership time with you at Mocha.

In early April, at our Grand Lodge (Ontario Leaders Seminar) the Potentates of the three Ontario Shrine Temples and our Grand Master M.W. Bro. D. Garry Dowling signed a 4-part agreement. This agreement will now permit the ‘Be A Shriner Now’ logo or website link to be included in all Craft Lodge summons, along with the contact information for the governing Shrine Temples. This novel membership idea was put together by Mocha’s hard working Membership Committee including Noble Shayne Eldridge under the direction of Noble Harry Hewbank leading the way. I thank each and every one of the Committee for their hard work, dedication and for showing Mocha as leading the way in membership development province-wide.

Saturday, April 13th witnessed two major Masonic and Shrine-Mason events. In the afternoon, Past Potentate George Sims orchestrated an inaugural and most successful Shrine/Masonic Showcase in Chatham – highlighted by the entertainment of Shrine Patient Ambassador Jeremy Gabriel from Quebec. The event was well presented and attended and congratulations go out to Ill. Sir Sims on your never ending search to attract more Shriners. In the evening, the London Masonic Districts hosted their Grand Master’s Reception. Over 350 Masons and Ladies were treated to a most entertaining night and it proved to be a most fitting tribute to our Grand Master and Lady Wendy.

By the time you receive this issue, the Mocha Ball will have taken place and I thank all of you that attended and all those that helped to make it possible. The May 8th Stated meeting will also be history and I thank Imp. Sir Jerry Gantt for his attendance.

Our next Clubs/Units Seminar is scheduled for June 1st at Mocha – followed the next weekend by the Spring

Recorder’s Corner by Bill ButcherNobles, Greetings from the Recorder’s Office

Here it is into April already. Can you believe it? We still do not have the best of weather as of yet, with rain, rain, rain this makes me think that I am still living in Britain.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Noble Dwight Coughlan

and his team for all their hard work and the excellent job of our most recent Mocha News. Congratulations to a job well done!

As you know the Mocha Ball is just around the corner and this makes me think that the good weather is also right around the corner. We are looking forward to attending the gala again as it is being held right here at the Centre in our newly renovated banquet hall. I am sure the event will be enjoyed by all those who attend.

In about a month’s time, the Spring Ceremonial will be upon us with the first section being held at Dufferin Hall and the second section being held at the Mocha Shrine Centre. All meals are being prepared by Delectable Eats and held at Mocha other than the Ladies’ Luncheon to be held at Dufferin Hall. If you do not have your tickets as of yet, they are available in the main office at Mocha until May 31st. If you are attending the Spring Ceremonial, remember to bring your current dues card. If you have not yet paid this year’s dues, I recommend you send payment as soon as possible. Please remember, you can always pay your dues online. Just visit our website at www.mochashriners.org.

From June 30 to July 4, 2013, the 140th Imperial Session will take place in Indianapolis, Indiana. I hope to see many of you down there. If any Mocha Units wishing to attend have not already registered, please do so as soon as possible.

Since summer is just around the corner, Lady Sally and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a happy and safe summer. As always my office door is open any time I am there, so drop in and sit for a couple of minutes and have a small chat.

Y.I.T.F. Bill Butcher, Mocha/Recorder

Ceremonial in London June 7–8th. This would be a great opportunity to bring a new Noble into the world’s greatest Philanthropy. Thanks to Boris, George, Stew and First Lady Deb for their hard work in putting this event on. Look for the Shrine flyer in the London Community News on the Thursday before the Ceremonial.

In July, the Divan and several other members of Mocha, including our Town Crier Ill. Sir George Sims and the Mocha Jeepsters are off to Imperial Sessions in Indianapolis. It appears that one of the big issues facing the delegates will be the state of conditions between Shriners International and the Grand Masters of Arkansas and South Carolina and the fallout that may occur as a result. As evidenced above, we at Mocha enjoy a close and constructive relationship with our Grand Master and it is a real honour for me to share the front cover with Mocha’s own M.W. Bro. D. Garry Dowling, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada, in the Province of Ontario!

I welcome you to the second edition of the New Mocha News. Thank you to all who wrote to me in regards to the new look.

As we continue to reach out to the membership I was wondering if the Mocha News is the right platform. In today’s ever changing environment I wonder if we should be looking at new ways to communicate. If you feel that the Mocha News is the right vehicle, send me a note saying so, if you would like to see change, send me a note with your ideas. If half of our membership would like to receive the Mocha News electronically we can save money there. If they would like to see the Mocha News only 3 times a year we could save money there. Send me your thoughts and let’s continue to evolve.

I put the following challenge out to our Nobles of the North, I would like to hear from you. If you have any stories, pictures, or would like to talk about an event that your holding please contact me. We need to know what you’re up to.

Lastly Nobles, it is parade season. Please ride, walk, and participate safely.

Enjoy your summer.YITF Editor Mocha News Noble Dwight Coughlan

Chaplain’s Chat Rev. Canon Michael FarrDear Noble.

I hope you have noticed that I wear two Fezs at Mocha, Chaplain and Donor Relations. I write to you for this May issue of the Mocha News wearing my “Donor Relations” fez. In Particular I wish to write about planned giving. All too often we give left-overs, which is the money we find in our pockets when we meet a Shriner at the Mall selling the ‘seasonal product’. Planned giving is the Stewardship of God’s gifts to us – it is when we sit down and intentionally plan to give money. In this case I am talking about Shriners Hospitals for Children – Canada. Because we are Shriners, we have an interest in our own philanthropy, which has one of the best records for a high percentage of your dollars getting to our Hospitals!

Part of planned giving could be a legacy in your will, which I trust you have. If you die without a will you are said to be “intestate”. That almost sounds like a disease that you would not wish to catch. If you do not have a will the public trustee takes over and looks after our

estate giving money to all the relatives who come out of the woodwork. (if this is not true I am sure to hear from Noble Fred MacKewn our Mocha solicitor.) So plan now where your money will go. Plan with your family so that they know where you are leaving money. A few years ago, a Shriner left a large legacy to Mocha. His children contested the will and Mocha ended up with nothing.

Another part of planned giving may be life insurance. The Shrine can be named the beneficiary of a policy that is paid up. For younger Shriners it is possible to buy life insurance and name the Shrine the beneficiary and then the premiums are a tax deductible charitable donation.

I had better quit before I start writing of things I have no knowledge. See your own lawyer and financial planner for advice on how to do these things. All material gifts are gifts from God and we are only stewards of them while we are alive. Plan for the distribution of these Gifts after you are finished with them.

To God be the Glory Rev. Canon Michael Farr Chaplain/Donor Relations

It has been a time-honoured tradition at the Mocha Ceremonials to name the “Class of Candidates” after an outstanding Shriner or group of Shriners in the local area.

I am proud this year, to name the Spring Ceremonial Class after three London Shriners, each of whom has had a large influence on my Masonic and Shrine journeys. They are Noble Ron Sewell, Noble Andy Anderson and Noble Joe Scott and not surprisingly are all members of my Mother Lodge – St. John’s Lodge No. 20.

Together, these Nobles have a century and a half of Masonic and Shrine service in the London area and each of them, in his own special way, has provided strong leadership, knowledge, encouragement and support to me and many, many others – for as long as I can remember!

CONCERT bANDMusicians always remember their first music teacher. In my case it was my father who taught me to play the saxophone at the age of eight. As I progressed through high school I was inspired by other teachers who noticed that, although late for rehearsals, I was never late for a performance.

Now I am inspired by my latest teacher, Don McKellar, our Concert Band’s conductor.

Don is a retired music professor form Western University and has contributed greatly to the music scene in London and the province.

ROyAL SCOTS O’MOCHAThe Royal Scots enjoyed another busy year in 2012. Our season started in January when we were invited to play for the Scottish Appreciation Night so ably hosted by Kilwinning Lodge, always an entertaining evening. We also enjoyed the Shrine Club’s Robbie Burns Dinner. It’s a good thing we are all haggis aficionados!

We spent our winter practices getting ready for the Kiwanis competitions under the leadership of our music director Ken Webster. In April, Don Gale, Winston Kooistra, and John Lynes travelled to Michigan City, Indiana to attend a Piping and Drumming Seminar sponsored by The Orak Shrine Club. (We won’t report on the actual trip… it’s an inside story!! Suffice it to say some time was spent at the side of an interstate).

In June we once again played for Kilwinning’s Sunrise Service and Breakfast. We always look forward to one of the best breakfast buffets around. We were also pleased to play at the Spring Ceremonial held in Strathroy.

During the summer we played at the Bothwell Car Show, and in the Wheatley Fish Festival Parade. We also marched in the Annual Labour Day Parade in Sarnia.

A mid -September weekend found the band competing at the GLSA held in Mason, Ohio. We were really pleased that every member who competed won a medal, AND… drum roll please… we won the trophy in the band competition!

All this success fuelled our enthusiasm when we played at both the Thorndale Fall Fair and Wallacetown Fair.

We had a bit of a break in October while we readied ourselves for our usual busy Santa Claus Parade schedule.

It started in November when we participated in the Christmas festivities in Dutton and enjoyed a Christmas drink back at John McIntyre’s house. Next we were hosted in our annual pre-parade get together at Jim Carmichael’s which warms us up for the West Lorne Parade. November ended with us playing an evening parade in Parkhill, where we are hosted a to a post parade supper at the Legion. (Did we mention how good their sandwiches are?) Our last parade for the season was in Bothwell… always dangerous as our wives go shopping at the furniture store!

December also saw us enjoying our annual Christmas party at the Shrine Club. We had cocktails while we visited with one another, followed by a delicious turkey dinner. After dinner we always enjoy some good old fashioned music provided by Charlie Thomson, Don Gale, John McIntyre, and Jim Carmichael. The culmination of the evening was the horse race game which has become so popular that we now have simultaneous events to ensure full participation!

January saw some changes to the Band executive. Our Band Director for the last few years has been Charlie Thomson, who has decided to step aside. His role will be ably carried out by Don Gale. Stew Watt has finished his time as secretary and his shoes

Tenor Drummer Tex Colter, Piper Don Gale and Side Drummer Winston Kooistra celebrate success at GLSA

Did we say we were proud?!!!Scottish Appreciation Night

On occasion, George cleans up well for formal events. But, one of a Hillbilly’s greatest fears is to be caught in new formal wear.

We are now proud to announce that Don will be honored this June with a ceremony in Toronto for his contributions to music and the influence on hundreds of musicians across Canada.

Don will be inducted into Lambda Iota (Ontario) chapter of Phi Beta Mu, the International Bandmasters Fraternity. This prestigious fraternity has been in existence since its inception in Texas in 1938.

Congratulations Don on receiving this well-deserved honour and for improving our concert band while being my most recent teacher.

Director of Mocha’s Concert Band receives international recognition

Hillbilly Clan 59 recognizes an outstanding Shriner: Cuzzin’ George Hillman

Hillbilly Clan 59, extends to George and Bonnie, a tremendous ”Thank You” for your support in the past, in the present, and for many years in the future.

Submitted by Cuzzin’ Ron Cripps

Cuzzin’ George has been actively involved in Clan 59 for over 25 years. He is a Past Raban and has served as Chairman of many of the Clan’s Committees. George is accompanied by his wife, Mama Bonnie, to practically all afternoon and evening parades, and supports him traveling to numerous conventions and other Hillbilly festivities.

Cuzzin’ George is the Clan’s Parade Chairman and is often seen giving directions on how the Hillbilly Parade Vehicles are to be decorated. (What side is each of those flags supposes to go on?)

will be filled by Winston Kooistra. Our outgoing treasurer, Andy Longridge has turned the books over to Dave Kincaid. We wish to thank Charlie, Andy and Stew for their contributions and wish our new executive members all the best in their positions.

Remember, if you are stirred by the skirl of the pipes or the beat of the drums please join us at one of our practices (second and fourth Tuesdays of the month). To find out more about our band, feel free to call Don Gale (519.644.0131) or Winston Kooistra (519.951.8621).

Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the Nobles of the Mocha oriental Band wish to “Talk to you”

As we continue to greet Nobility everywhere

Nobles of the London Oriental Band and of the Mystic Shrine are proud to demonstrate in pictures, the importance of having fun when on parade. The pictures are the product of our annual involvement when on parade at the Thorndale Ontario Fair Parade.

So now for the benefit for those Shriners, particularly the newly initiated, if you want to have a great deal of fun while accumulating funds for Children, then join the Oriental Band.

Though we have younger members many members are aging and we need additional young blood. If you feel young, can walk or blow or do both together, don’t belong to another Unit or would like a change, then you are for us. There is no need to have a musical background as we will teach you in short order to play the kind of music we promote. We have a great deal of fun, travel with our Ladies and above all, we delight the public with our dress and entertaining mode. How about it you Shriner’s? We are about 60 strong but many can no longer walk or blow but still enjoy the company and continue to line the parade route.

Call the President NoW. Noble Doug at 519-681-3231 or [email protected]

bRANTfORD SHRINE CLUbThe Brantford Shrine Club is hosting a “Blue Buddy” trip to see the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a great event to introduce our Masonic brothers and their significant others to the Shrine. It is an especially good event for those interested in learning more about becoming a Shriner. This is an adult event where all are welcome and women are encouraged to attend. The event tickets are being sold at cost and are being sponsored by the Brantford Shrine Club.

Prez Stuart with Brant Hats researchers.

The Brantford Shrine Club had the pleasure of University of Toronto graduate students in the Museum studies program attend our March general meeting to discuss Tip of the Hat: Community, Identity and Culture in Brant County. They brought with them pictures of an old style Fez that was donated to the local museum. Noble Ray Bamsey loaned to the project a similar Fez from the early 50’s that had been worn by one of our past presidents, Noble Clark Gothard. We showed them pictures of past potentates from Brantford Shrine Club and provided them a collective recap of our knowledge on the Shriner’s Fez. They were impressed with the $100 Million Dollar pin and noticed that every member seemed to have one. The researchers congratulated the Shrine organization for the good work and thanked us for providing them with information on the Shriner’s Fez. They took several pictures of members wearing their Fez and were amazed with all the different Shrine units represented on the Fez.

WATERLOO SHRINE CLUb

The Waterloo Shrine Club hosted their first ever, Earth Day Green Recycling Event on Saturday, April 6th. This was a free electronic waste collection event for the community. Returnable wine, liquor and beer bottles, and aluminum cans were also accepted. The recycling company Greentec supplied the collection bin and paid the club for all the electronic waste that was received. Noble Ross Maclean spearheaded this endeavour, assisted by other members of the club and several students from Waterloo Collegiate

Earth Day Recycling EventInstitute and Huron Heights Secondary School.

Noble Maclean stated, “We had a very good response from the community and the club will definitely do this again next year.

This not only keeps hazardous electronic waste out of our landfills, it is a good example of a fund raising event that helps the community, gets students involved, and raises public awareness of the Shrine.”

The Waterloo Shrine Club also has an ongoing Cell Phone Recycling program. In coordination with Greentec, the club has collection boxes at various businesses and institutions around the KW area and are paid for each used cell phone collected.

It is that time of year when the Aylmer Shriners start their annual Cruise Nights. Please bring down your ride to the Aylmer ICS parking lot Wednesday Nights Starting Mid May and Ending Mid September. All are welcome to enjoy the music and the great selection of vehicles that come out for the fun.

The Aylmer Shriners donated two bowling ramps to Cy’s Bowling Lanes so handicap children can compete like any other able bodied kids in the YBC Bowling league. They are ready to bowl a perfect game!

The Masons and Nobles of Chatham District took the initiative recently in an attempt to

• EDUCATE the general public and young men about the Masonic fraternity.

• STIMULATE interest in what we do.

• REJUVENATE our activities in the public eye.

• CELEBRATE programmes, Jeremy Gabriel, Ahcom sponsored children.

• CULTIVATE and develop to a greater extent the image of ALL Masonic bodies.

• MOTIVATE young men to continue our tremendous legacy.

• ACCOMMODATE and make use of the time of young family men.

• ILLUSTRATE we can work together for a purpose.

• GENERATE a greater feeling of brotherhood.

• WE ANTICIPATE masons of all levels participating.

• WE APPRECIATE your personal attention and attendance.

We put together a MASONIC SHRINE SHOWCASE. We rented the Chatham St. Clair Capitol Theatre on Saturday, April 13. This was a first class facility for both presenters and audience.

We intended to have a programme starting at 1:00 in the afternoon until 4:00 involving many aspects of masonry and the Shrine. Admission was free with donations accepted. It is not a fund raiser but a public relations effort.

Shrine Units were invited to help by making this a blueprint for future SHOWCASES by providing:

SHRINE UNITS and CLUBS1. Parts of your unit for display in parking spaces.2. Description of history and activities of your unit.3. Your meeting times.4. How to contact your unit for information.

MASoNIC LoDGES1. A performance/explanation of approximately

20 minutes.2. 20 minute segments have been allotted from

1:30 to 4:003. Breaks have been scheduled for circulation and

audience movement.4. Bands are most welcome for stand still

performances.

We had to schedule this date for the availability of the facility and the Shrine Patient Ambassador Jeremy Gabriel. We hope this activity will become a stepping stone not a road block.

Worth the time. Worth the travel. Worth the effort.We acknowledge the support of the District Deputy Grand Master, the Potentate of MOCHA Shriners, the President of AHCOM Shrine Club, the Members of AHCOM Shrine Club, the financial support of Moramos Shrine Club, The individuals of Units and Clubs that supported the idea of doing something positive for Membership and Public Relations.

We established a VISIoN committee (Very Interested Shriners Identifying Our Needs)

This committee met and decided to go forward quickly while the iron was hot and enthusiasm could be generated rather than shelved to be done later. Communication through electronic media and personal visitations to district lodges explaining our purpose and to act posthaste was commenced. Teams attended lodge meetings to present and explain purpose for the benefit of all Masonic bodies. We requested active support from the grass root level. We contacted, through various media, the Clubs and Units of MOCHA in the area requesting their support to take part in displaying their specific contribution to the Shrine.

We were happy with those who responded positively, and felt that the rest missed a great opportunity to participate. We were able to contact a Unit of Elf Khurafeh Shriners of Saginaw, Michigan and

On behalf of our Chairman, Noble Harry Hewbank, greetings from the Membership Committee. The Spring Ceremonial is soon upon us – what have you done to bring in a candidate? I know some of you are working hard and trying – thanks!

Membership is our Number One Priority!

A big thank you to the AHCOM Shrine Club who put together a fantastic Masonic Shrine Showcase in Chatham on April 13th. I really hope that we get some new brethren and Nobles coming out of this initiative.

We are all in this together. Each Club and Unit should be undertaking some activities to

bring in new Nobles. We have 21 Clubs in Mocha and if each Club was able to bring in two candidates for both the Spring and Fall Ceremonial, this would mean 84 new Nobles in Mocha! The Units and Shrine Clubs in a particular area should take Noble Chris Bradley (Waterloo Shrine Club) up on the Blue Buddy Challenge! If you don’t know about this, contact Noble Chris at [email protected].

When you are at Lodge, remember it is as simple as asking the question to your fellow brethren ‘Have you considered joining the Shrine?’. Don’t wait for them to ask you – ask them!

You should soon each see the Be A Shriner Now logo in your Lodge summons. We have the support of our Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Garry Dowling who along with the Potentates of Mocha, Tunis and Rameses signed a letter being sent to all District Deputy Grand Masters. This letter asks them to communicate to all the Lodge Secretaries in their District information about Be A Shriner Now that can be put into their Lodge summons.

The Membership Committee is looking forward to working with our new Public Relations Chairman, Noble Jeff Smith in getting the Be A Shriner Now logo and information out into the public and increasing the visibility of our Shrine in our community.

Noble John Parker (Stratford-on-Avon Shrine Club)

MEMBErShipis now our Retention Chairman. Noble John and his committee will be working the phones to contact Nobles who have not paid their dues and to assist in keeping the contact info for each Noble up to date.

Our Potentate asked each Shrine Club to appoint a Membership Representative to work as part of our Membership Committee. Thank you to each Noble! If your Club is not listed here, let me know!

I will be working on the Mentor Program to increase the number of mentors we have available for possible new candidates. You can be a mentor by joining through Shriners Village.

June 6th is International Shriners Day. Put this on your calendar!! Make sure you wear your Shrine shirt, hat, jacket whatever that day – be proud of being a Shriner! Let everyone know!

Each of you play an important role in increasing our membership – personally and as part of your Club/Unit. If you have any ideas/suggestions, let me or your Club Membership Representative know. If your Club or Unit is doing a membership initiative, please send me the details.

Yours in the Faith Noble Shayne Eldridge

Shriners Hospitals for Children® in proud to announce a contract has officially been signed with SNC-Lavalin, stating that it has been chosen as construction manager for the new hospital project in Montréal. Working closely with Shriners Hospitals for Children, and Shriners Hospitals for Children – Canada leadership, SNC-Lavalin’s responsibilities include the procurement, installation and commissioning of medical equipment.“We are about to make history. We are happy to announce that the project is proceeding as planned and excavation work will begin shortly” announced Jerry Gantt, Member of the Boards of Directors for Shriners International and Shriners Hospitals for Children and Liaison for the Montreal hospital construction project.The new 207 000 square foot hospital will feature 8 floors, 2 below ground and 6 above. Our patients and families will benefit from 22 single patient rooms, meeting all the highest standards for infection control. We have planned for several areas dedicated to families. There will be 4 operating rooms, which is double from our current facility. The new hospital will also include state of the art technology for teaching as well as expanded space dedicated to basic and clinical research.These new facilities will allow our specialists to diagnose and treat even more children with complex orthopaedic conditions coming to us from communities across Canada. We will be able to expand our research laboratories and enhance our clinical care activities in order to develop further tailored treatments. The new hospital environment will be focused on families with the additional family rooms on each level, increased space allotted to rehabilitation and ambulatory care services, day treatment and day surgery centers.

Lavalin (TSx: SNC) is pleased to announce that it has officially signed a contract with Shriners Hospitals for Children for the construction of its new Montreal hospital, including the procurement, installation and commissioning of medical equipment. The new hospital will replace the existing Shriners Hospital in Montreal.Officially known as Shriners Hospitals for Children® – Canada, the hospital will have eight stories, and be linked to the new Montreal Children’s Hospital located at the McGill University Health Centre’s Glen site, allowing the two facilities to share services. It will have 22 single-patient rooms, four operating rooms, a basic research and new clinical investigation unit, ambulatory care services and rehabilitation services, including physiotherapy and occupational therapy. The new building will be more than twice the size of the existing facility, with a surface area of approximately 20,500 square metres. “We are very pleased to have been awarded a third key project in Quebec’s health care sector,” said Charles Chebl, Executive Vice-President, SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. “This state-of-the-art health care facility will be a true model of excellence in pediatric orthopedics.”SNC-Lavalin provided structural engineering, civil engineering and pre-construction services for the project following an early services agreement between SNC-Lavalin and Shriners in May of 2011. Construction will begin in April 2013, and the project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2015. SNC-Lavalin is one of the leading engineering and construction groups in the world and a major player in the ownership of infrastructure, and in the provision of operations and maintenance services. Founded in 1911, SNC-Lavalin has offices across Canada and in over 40 other countries around the world, and is currently working in some 100 countries. www.snclavalin.com

The world is a fabulous place for Kierstyn in the care of Shriners. The amount of care Kierstyn and myself have received is endless.

Who knew a scare of bone disorder can become such an humbling experience for me. The feeling that there is a solution to Kierstyn’s extremely rare bone disorder.

Our first approach by Shriner Grant Fotheringham to Shriner Richard in Kitchener. Thank you, I feel isn’t enough. Our Shrine Circus experiences have been so much fun! Kierstyn involvement with the circus, her eyes twinkle with love and laughter and secure to any man in “a red hat with sparkles, its beautiful!” as she says at three years old!

From our care of travel by office assistance at Mocha in London (Jody Axford), to our stay in Montreal. Support from (Audra Smith) for our travels from the hotel to Shriner Hospital in Montreal. To the “best” Surgeon (Dr. Hamdy assistant Mario Rinaldi) orthopedic brace makers... and the social workers in Montreal.

I am over the top comfortable knowing Kierstyn is in professional and educated care. We have a long road ahead but it is an easy one with Shriners by our side.

Alan Madsen Imperial Potentate A Message from

May 2013

Dear Fellow Nobles,

Greetings from the leadership of Shriners International and Shriners Hospitals for Children. We thank you for all your efforts to promote your temples, Shrine clubs, units, and

Shriners Hospitals for Children®.

The 139th Imperial Session is right around the corner - June 30th through July 4th. We hope the voting representatives will be prepared to make decisions on the various legislation changes being introduced for the Iowa and Colorado Corporations.

Appropriately, the session will begin with a church service on Sunday at 1 p.m. followed by the public opening ceremony at 3 p.m.

There will be a night parade on Monday, July 1st stepping off at 7 p.m. The Shrine Clowns and Shrine Clown Ladies will lead the parade in hopes of setting a world record of 851 clowns in a parade! In order to comply with current bylaws the clowns and clown ladies will be ahead of the Color Guard, and this will be the called a Civic parade!

First Lady Jan has planned an extraordinary luncheon for the ladies featuring a Broadway entertainer. The representatives evening will be filled with lots of FUN and a variety of music. You just might be a part of

the entertainment. Tickets for the luncheon and the representative’s entertainment are available on www.imperial2013.com

We thank the various ladies groups – the Daughters of the Nile, Ladies Oriental Shrine and the Shrine Guilds of America – for the millions of dollars they raise for us. They also volunteer thousands of hours for Shriners Hospitals for Children.

In an effort to promote more family fun and family activities legislation is being proposed from SBANA for a Shrine bylaws revision to allow ladies to participate with performing units/clubs (Bands) with the approval of the Temple Potentate. The sponsors of this proposed

bylaws change are Illustrious Sir Steve Jones (Moslah Shriners) and myself. We hope you will support this change that will strengthen the membership in units.

It is very interesting to note that the percentage of Master Masons who are also Shriners ranges from a LOW of 10.50 percent in Arkansas to a HIGH of 75.32 percent in North Dakota! The average throughout SHRINEDOM is 24 percent. It is no wonder the Shrine temples in North Dakota continue to post positive gains year after year.

Please remember to keep MEMBERSHIP the Number ONE priority in your temples, clubs and units by promoting more family fun and more family activities to attract younger members and KEEP them!

The Spring Joint Boards meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico was coordinated with the outreach clinic conducted by our Philadelphia hospital at the Veterans Administration Medical Center. While in Puerto Rico, we also visited the Puerto Rico Grand Lodge. Illustrious Sir Rafael Acosta of Al Rai’e Saleh Shriners and the divan helped with the arrangements.

The Shrine Ladies sent so many books to San Juan Puerto Rico that there will be plenty to distribute at future Shriners Hospitals’ outreach clinics. A big hand goes to Supreme Queen Suzie Schumacher for asking the Daughters

of the Nile ladies to participate. An estimated 7,000 to 8,000 books were donated. A big THANK YOU to Tato and Elba Carrero for receiving and storing the 173 boxes of books.

The Imperial Divan and Trustee Ladies distributed books to more than 450 children. There were many happy smiles on the children’s and parents’ faces. Thank you, ladies, for your generous hearts. You did indeed plant seeds for a lifetime of reading.

Lady Jan and I are looking forward to see you in Indianapolis, for the 139th Imperial Session from June 30th through July 4th.

Yours in the Faith,

Alan “Al” W. Madsen, Imperial Potentate
