Nobles, Ladies, and Friends,

If you haven’t seen the progress on Facebook, the construction in Woodbury is picking up, and before we know

it, the Shriners Healthcare for Children – Twin Cities Clinic will be in its new home next spring. We just have to keep repeating that it’s now a “clinic,” and not a “hospital.” However, no matter what the formal term is, our mission is still the same; To provide “The Most Amazing Care, Anywhere.” This is the tag line used to promote our healthcare system through digital advertising, which I strongly encourage you to check out on the “shrinershospitals” Youtube page. When you view literature about our healthcare system, you may notice the absence of the word “free.” Due to the acceptance of patient insurance, we are unable to use the word “free” when describing the care provided. The official wording is; Shriners Hospitals for Children is committed to providing specialized care to children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, cleft lip and palate, and certain other special health care needs, regardless of the families’ ability to pay.

In addition to exciting progress with our Twin Cities Clinic, Osman Shriners have continued to plan and to partake

in exciting events. Thank you to Noble Todd Swedberg for organizing the 3rd Annual Potentate’s Pheasant Shoot. 15 Nobles were present at Traxler’s on an overcast Sunday morning to take a leisurely walk through the wet fields. Some of us even brought back pheasants! This has always been a highlight of the fall Osman season. I encourage you to watch for future events from the Sportsmen’s Club, and to even consider becoming a member.

Ill. Sir Mike Nehm and Lady Sandy organized another tasty and well attended affair at Sak’s in Vadnais Heights where we were treated to the music of one of Osman’s favorite local bands, Drive South. Those in attendance were able to taste 16 unique chili recipes while enjoying fellowship and raising money for the Osman Womens Auxiliary. Congratulations to Denise Clymer and her batch of chili which won 1st prize at the 8th Annual Osman Shriners Chili Cookoff!

The event series, “Discover What it Means to be a Mason and Shriner” has been a highlight of the year and a huge success. I would like to to extend a sincere “thank you” to Noble Brad Phelps and his Lady Amanda, for their hard work in organizing this membership event at Kinney Creek Brewery in Rochester. Kinney Creek Brewery

is a lively space with games and refreshments, and it was attended by many Nobles and their Ladies, as well as prospective Masons and Shriners. If you aren’t familiar with the game Hammerschlagen, I suggest you stop in and give it a try. Please note that our final event of this series will be held on November 2nd at Island City Brewing in Winona. We hope to see you there!

We had a great showing in River Falls for the final Temple Parade of 2019. It was held a few weekends later in the month than usual, and it was exciting to see all of the Nobles and Ladies who came together to represent Osman Shriners on a soggy Saturday morning. A special ‘thank you’ to Noble Warren Lynch and Lady Doreen for hosting the final Oasis of the year!

Finally, it is my honor to highlight November 11th in my second to last letter as your potentate. Veteran’s Day provides a special opportunity for us to show support for those who have served our great nation, both at home and overseas. We have countless Veterans represented in our fraternity, and I want to humbly thank each and every one of them for keeping us safe and for protecting our freedoms.

Fraternally,Anders Haugen2019 Potentate

The Chief’s CornerThe 2019 Temple

parading season is officially over. Our final parade, the River Falls Parade on October 19th, was a great day! There was good attendance and

a wonderful Oasis at the Lynch home. This is the best Oasis we have been to all year! A big thank you to Warren and Doreen for their hospitality.

I would like to thank all of the Club and Units, and Nobles for their participation in the 2019 parading season. Thank you to the Ladies, family members and friends of the Shriners who attend and support us through the year. Thank you to Chris, of the Directors Staff, for handling our tickets at the Oasis. Finally, a big thank you to my staff and all the others who help work to make the parades possible. I appreciate everyone’s attendance, dedication,

and help in making this year so great. Our parades are a great opportunity to advertise Osman and recruit new Nobles.

Everyone has earned a deserved rest from the busy season we have had. Time to park the parading equipment and take a break! I will keep everyone up to date with the 2020 parading schedule.

Thank you,Neil Clymer

Greeting from Alexandria Shrine Club,

As we work our way into Fall, all eyes turn to preparing for Winter.

After our last parade in River Falls WI, it will be

time to winterize and park our units till

next year. We are grateful to everyone who helped make the season successful. THANK YOU!!! Our November meeting will be our annual elections. More on that later. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming upon us, let’s take time to remember and continue all the good work the Shriners and each individual does. As always, remember

our hospitals and the children. They are the best reason of all. I personally thank everyone that has supported and helped me through the past year as president. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Until next time, keep a smile on your face and the children in your heart.

Well here it is, almost the end of the year and we had a very successful parade season. We got through 21 parades and without too much trouble.

We bought a newer bus and hopefully the

old is sold by now. We have some things that need to be done by the time parade season starts next year, but not a lot.

If you haven’t got your new dues card for 2020 get $20 to Art by the end of the year so you save $5.

By the time this comes out we would

have enjoyed a very good turkey dinner at Osman’s Hufli and had a lot of fun.

It is not too early to start planning for MSA in Regina, Canada. Do not forget your passport or whatever it takes to get into Canada and back home.

We have two Christmas parties coming up. Rochester Area Shrine Club on Dec. 20th and the Dragon Patrol on Jan. 17th.

Dorothy and I want to wish everybody a very good and safe Thanksgiving.

Fall is upon us, and it’s time to clean yards, cut flowers and prepare for that season that brings the cold wind and white stuff. The Oriental Band held its annual end of parade season picnic

on Sept. 14th and was supposed to take place at the Cedar Valley Conservation Club.

But guess what? When we arrived, it was locked, and we could not reach anyone to open the facility for us.

So, as good Nobles that we are, we went to plan B and moved things to the Austin Tank Wash Building that is managed by Noble Brad Stout. With

the help of several Nobles, ladies and candidates, the area was ready for an indoor picnic. It worked out quite well, and we thank everyone for their patience and their help.

We had several guests that included PP’s Frank Peterson, Jeff Olsen and Lady Julie, Bruce Thomas & Lady Terri. Also attending were Tom and Rose West, Jim Gratias and Ryan Colligan & Lady Audrey. We thank them for attending and hope they had a good time.

One of the highlights of the evening was our ability to donate another $1,000.00 to Rose West for the Osman Auxiliary. This brings the total for this year to $3,000.00.

The Brothers in Fidelity Lodge #39 have been busy with degree work, and we have two candidates that are ready to become Nobles of the Shrine. We have more candidates in process so maybe that number will increase.

As we look ahead, our Nov. 14th meeting will be held at a site TBD, and we will be making plans for the Red Kettle Kick-off on Friday, Dec. 6th, when we cover as much of Austin as possible. Our Holiday Dinner will be held on Thursday, Dec.12 at the Austin Country Club.

Legion of HonorOur Sept meeting

was held at Guldens in Maplewood and it was great. We invited our ladies to attend and enjoyed a good meal and played some fun bingo! Thanks to Noble

Dean Brown for setting up the venue and Noble Dave Komplien for bringing the Bingo.

One important duty we accomplished at the Sept meeting was to choose a nominating committee for next year’s officers. Noble Todd Swedberg and I will be proposing a slate of officers to elect at our Nov meeting. Thanks Todd!

Our Oct meeting was held at the Osman warehouse to do the final

checkout of the season and cook some burgers and brats, Thanks Noble Todd and Noble Norm for stepping up and providing the meal. It was great.

Our final parade of the season was River Falls, on Oct 19th. As usual the weather was unpredictable. Thanks to ZOR for providing the morning Oasis to get us warm and fed prior to the parade. The Legion had a good turnout and thanks to everyone who came.

Special thanks to Noble Jim Smeby for taking the time and efforts to go to the warehouse before each parade and getting the truck trailer and Jeep driven to the parades. You are a valuable asset to our unit! Thanks also go to Noble Norm Hodge for taking his time to do the safety check outs on our equipment.

Our Holiday Party is Dec 19th at the Lost Spur Event Center this year. Noble Smeby will be sending out invites to all Nobles soon with details. Cost should be the same as past years with only the venue and menu changing. The Spur offers more leg room and parking options.

We will also install our 2020 officers that evening too. Please plan to attend, as this is a wonderful time of year to celebrate our past years accomplishments and fun along with welcoming our new officers and their plans for the coming year.

Pipe BandGot Kilt?

Does your heart and soul have an emotional stir at the sound of Amazing Grace or another tune played from bagpipes and drums? The Osman Shrine Pipe Band membership is open to Nobles interested in having fun and making some of the most noticeable music this side of the celestial lodge. We invite you to come investigate, and learn to play the bagpipes or bang on a drum. We meet Monday evenings from 7-8:45PM at the St. Paul Masonic Center, 200 Plato Blvd., St. Paul. The best deal...lessons are free, and if interested in being a drummer...we already have drums for you! If you have an interest in music, learning and being apart of our fun group, please call Rich Purcell 651-373-0806, Chris Zack 651-329-2342 or Jim Smith 651-357-2149. No previous experience is required, just your interest in learning some amazing musical tunes.

Daddy-O’sAs you read this article it means it

is November and our parade season has come to an end. What a great year for the Daddy-Os. We ended up with 23 parades that we rode with our fellow Shriners. Helping to raise money for the kids, the cause, the hospital, the brotherhood. Are we now done? No! With holiday events and gatherings, membership meetings, recruitment, and planning for a remarkable 2020 we still have so much more to do. The Daddy-Os dues for 2020 are now due, so if you would like to join us and be a part of the fun, $20 is all it takes!

Thank you to the Divan for their leadership, to the best members the Daddy-Os could ever have, and to

Doreen for all her work behind the scenes and most importantly, our ladies.

Included in this article are a couple of Daddy-Os FUN photos from our

Midwest event that I neglected to get in last month.

Greetings Nobles and Ladies of the Shrine! After a whirlwind of Shriner activity over the summer and early autumn, the pace has slowed a bit for the Provost Guard.

However, we have used the time to focus on our fall and winter activities and fundraisers.

At our last meeting in September, we welcomed and swore in a new unit member. Noble Adam Martin hails from Woodbury, and his home Lodge is Accacia #51 in Cottage Grove. Welcome Adam!

Provost members are reminded that unit dues are coming due. Please make your $15.00 check to Osman Shine Provost and send to the Secretary. Email me at [email protected] for my home address.

As I said, the Provost are focusing on fall and winter activities and events. Of course, as I am writing this it is early October, and we are preparing for the final temple parade of the year. The River Falls Homecoming Parade, which takes place on Saturday, October 19th. I hope when this is published and I read it again, I can think back and remember how dry and nice the weather was.

The Provost has also been actively selling Koeze Nuts again this year for delivery in mid-November. This is a significant fundraiser for our unit.

We are looking forward to participating in the Osman Shrine’s 27th Annual Hufli Dinner on November 4th with a Provost table. It will be an enjoyable evening!

Finally, save the date! Our

Provost Christmas Party will be held at Mancini’s in St. Paul on December 16th. More details to follow but mark your calendars for an evening of fun and merriment.

If you are interested in joining the Provost, come check us out. Our meetings are on the third Monday of the month at the Cherokee Tavern, West St. Paul. Social/Dinner is at 6:00PM and Meeting is at 7:00PM.

Can you believe that the summer... that really never came is nearly over and the year as well. What a year, Outstanding Parades, GREAT events put on by caring and active Brothers and their Ladies.

When I first was asked to run for this great office I thought....do I have time,

can I do a good job and every other idea that comes into your mind. Now the year is almost over, and it is time to nominate and vote on new officers. I can tell you from personal experience that these offices are held by GREAT people, working hard so that we have the best Shrine Club... PERIOD. So throw your hat in the ring, even as myself thinking you’re not ready. The support is amazing, the friends you meet outstanding and a decision you will never forget.

The RASC Wine, Beer, Spirits and Cheer fundraising event at the Rochester Event Center in September was again huge success! Thank you to the organizational committee, to those that attended, and to those who donated baskets. Some photos of the evening are attached.

See you all at Hufli and the Christmas Party.

Osman OutlawsOutlaws? Shriners? Two words most

people would never expect to be used together. In this instance you will find that the two words are perfect for one another. The Osman Outlaw Sprint Car Club from concept to reality is due to the combined efforts of Osman Shrine Noble Steve Igou, Noble Jeff Murphy, with the addition of Noble Jim Irvine. They have a passion for dirt track racing, the smell of burnt alcohol injected exhaust, raw power and a checkers or wreckers’ attitude. Combine this with a little previous experience and it equals up to The Osman Outlaws sprint cars!

2019 has held many changes for the Osman Outlaws. The Outlaws have welcomed Jim Irvine of Woodbury MN into the unit. Jim is an avid sprint car

racing fan, along with his daughter. Jim is holding the office of Vice-President of the outlaw unit. Noble Steve Igou has moved to Arizona and has taken up a support role and vows to keep his dues paid and return during summertime to parade with the unit.

Currently the unit is working on building cars. Two more are scheduled to begin the assembly process in the near future. The unit is waiting on backordered engine parts to complete the engines for the parade cars. The unit has picked up a corporate sponsor- Kevko Racing Components based in Fairmont MN. They are providing oil pans, pumps and misc to the unit. Jim has also secured our website address. Osmanoutlaws.com & osmanoutlaws.org should be up and running in the

near future.

The process has taken longer than expected to get off the ground, but every day we are making progress.

We can’t wait to hit the streets with these bad boys – This isn’t our grandfathers typical parade unit!

The Osman Outlaw Sprint Car project is believed to be the FIRST ever Full-sized Shrine sponsored sprint car unit in the country. The goal is 8 Full size parade units in the afternoons, and a goal of 1 full blown race unit operated by Murphy on Friday and Saturday nights to bring attention and to support Shriner’s Hospitals/Healthcare for Children. The Club is open to all Shrine motorsport enthusiasts looking to operate and support the club in

various roles. 2B1ASK1

Nobles interested in unit membership – PLEASE contact us!

We have no idea what we are doing…We are just wing’n it!

If I only had a few more minutes, just give me 5 more minutes, where did the time go, this month sure went by fast, it can’t be that time already, Hard times, good times, time of your life, time is money,

wow time went by fast, I’m sure that each of you can come up with your own list of time metaphors.

The truth is each of us have 24 hours in a day, or 1,440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds, each day. Each day we get to make the decision on what we are going to do with our very own time. I had the opportunity to go to a fellow Brothers funeral the other day. I wasn’t excited about going, I had a lot of other things I wanted to do, but the Brother’s wife Irene, and my wife are good friends, so I went. When I entered the church, Irene, was so excited to see me, and right

away asked if I would participate in the Masonic Funeral, of course I would. What struck me was that I did know Brother Schultz and had taken him to Lodge in Lake City a couple times. I could have taken him more if I only had more time. I was just too busy with, whatever. The Masonic Service was held in Wabasha, by the Blue Lodge of Black River Falls, Brother Jay Dee Nichols officiated. Those Brothers from Black River Falls had time, after all it was only a couple hours drive over and a couple hours back.

Brother Mike and I talk about going to a stated meeting one of these nights, as soon as we find the time. I wonder where you find TIME. My brother Larry wants me to take him to the Hospital for Children in the Twin Cities and I have agreed to take him there, as soon as it fits into my schedule. I probably could have made a few more parades this year or RASC meetings, or Zagalas meetings

if I could have just spared a minute and found the time. The children at our Hospital only want a little of your time. Your time helps them to heal and live a more normal life. This next year let’s all see if we can find just a little more time for our Masonic Brothers, and our Children at the Hospital. Thanks to all members that spent time away from their families, to parade around the country. It was certainly time well spent, and each parade is the time of your life.

“Time is something man has very little of to waste what you have is to lose it, there is no going back to make up for it.”

To the World you may be only one person, but to a child you may be the World.

Chris ChristophersonZagalas

After Noble Oz and his wife moved into their first home he decided to plant a garden like his grandpa had long ago. Oz smiled as he thought about keeping the tradition alive in his grandpa’s memory.

As part of the garden Oz planted a climbing hydrangea at the base of a corner of a stone wall and spent the summer nurturing it. Finally the hydrangea began sprouting green leafy vine, but no flowers bloomed.

After a couple of months the vines continued to grow and grow, but were still bare. One morning Oz stood in the garden wondering if he should dig it up and start over with something different to bring life to the dark corner.

Then a voice from over the wall called out, “You-hoo! I want to thank you for the beautiful flowers!” Confused Oz went next door where his elderly neighbor Joan opened the garden gate and showed him in. TO his surprise Oz saw that the vines had bloomed along the wall like a mosaic painting of white and sweet scent.

It was at that point Oz realized that his work gave his neighbor so much pleasure that he decided to never cut the hydrangea down. Oz understood now that he had really planted the seeds of friendship.

Being a Shriner is much the same as Oz’s story. Initially we join to help children and their families, having darkness in their lives, for a better

future. And then through Shriner’s efforts sunshine is spread over walls never imagined.

That above said; ECS is at the point of nurturing our Vine’s, as a Club, or to let it be cut down. Our Vice President stated he won’t step up and it’s time for me to pass on the torch. As such, do we support our Club’s status and growth? Or, do we return our Charter to Osman? See you on November 21st at Key’s Café in Forest Lake!

Kosair Charities grant supports Shriners International Educational Foundation

The Shriners International Education Foundation (SIEF) was created to support and expand educational opportunities and leadership development of our fraternity members and allied organizations. Since establishing SIEF, we’ve expanded offerings to include distance learning programs via live webinars and on-demand video training, and enhanced program content at our seminars.

Kosair Charities also believes that education is a critical component to the success of our fraternity and we are pleased to announce their support of SIEF, through a generous grant of $50,000 to further enhance training programs for current and future fraternity leaders – helping to provide the necessary tools to more effectively lead our hospitals and temples.

John Piland, executive vice president of Shriners International, accepted the grant on behalf of Shriners International at the Shriner Appreciation Reception hosted by Kosair Charities on Oct. 3. The evening celebrated the history of both organizations, while providing an update on grant recipients, future goals, and recognizing key honorees.

“Shriners International Education Foundation is extremely grateful to Kosair Charities,” said Piland. “This partnership will allow the fraternity to make a sustaining impact by providing education, training and leadership development at the 2020 Assistant Rabban Seminar and strengthening other efforts.”

Representatives of Kosair Charities will

attend the 2020 Assistant Rabban Seminar in Tampa, Florida, March 9-11, 2020, and the closing reception will be named in their honor.

“We are proud of this grant and are looking forward to great impact with it as we help future Shrine leaders better understand leadership, responsibility and our mission to help children,” said Keith Inman, president of Kosair Charities.

We thank the board of Kosair Charities for their support of Shriners International and their commitment to preparing future leaders of the fraternity.

We enjoyed a break from the rain with a warm and sunny morning on Sunday, September 15th, for the Osman Shrine Golf Classic. We had 14 groups that joined us for a fun morning of golf and games. We had a putting contest and a bean bag contest to help raise money and provide a

break from all of the serious golf.

We would not have been able to do this without the generosity of so many people. I want to thank Rose West, Kathy Flicek, and Cathy Sportelli for all their hard work in helping to put on this fun event. Thank you to all of the hole sponsors and donators

that made this event possible. Thank you to all of those with the Osman Womens Auxiliary that helped make this a successful event. And last, but not least, thank you to the golfers and those that came for lunch.

Osman Membership – JUST ONE

During the past couple of years, Osman Membership has subscribed to the I AM RU Imperial Shriner membership program. Many Osman Shriners signed the I AM RU banner and the picture of that signing was posted on our Facebook page. By signing this banner we publically declared that we were committed to increasing our membership rolls through new creations and restorations, and decreasing our suspensions. To those nobles who have contributed to this end, we extend our sincere thanks! Your commitment continues towards increasing our membership. Our 2019 trend line is positive, but we are still not there as we seek to achieve Gold Membership Status by the end of the year.

At the Imperial Session this past July, Imperial Sir Jeff Sowder commissioned a new membership initiative entitled “JUST ONE.” To learn more about the program, I recently attended his Facebook webinar and found the program to be simple and straightforward. In this session, he emphasized that if every Shriner would bring in “JUST ONE” new candidate or be responsible for restoring “JUST ONE” dropped member, our membership rolls would be impacted significantly. The same holds true for Blue Lodge membership as obviously Osman’s membership is impacted by the vitality of our blue lodges throughout Osmanland.

To build excitement around the JUST ONE initiative, a multi-level reward system has been established. This program will recognize and reward top-line signers for their successful efforts in bringing in new members or restoring suspended members. Here are the reward levels:

Level 1 – Upon creation or restoration or one member, the top-line signer will receive a postcard and JUST ONE pin from Imperial Potentate Jeff Sowder.

Level 2 - Upon bringing in two members, the top line signer will be listed in the Shriner magazine.

Level 3 – Upon bringing in three new creations or restorations, the top-line signer will receive a certificate of appreciation and a letter of commendation from Imperial Sir Sowder

Level 4 – After five creations or restorations, the top line signer will receive a personal phone call from the Imperial Potentate.

Level 5 – Top-line signers responsible for 10 additional Shriner brothers will receive a special invitation to attend a JUST ONE VIP reception with the Imperial Divan at the 2020 Imperial Session.

Don’t miss a chance to see or hear Imperial Sir Jeff Sowder as he is a very convincing man—tall in stature, boisterous in voice and so enthusiastic in his love of the Shriners. The Osman membership team hopes you will join his enthusiasm and his new “JUST ONE” initiative. First of all, you will make a positive contribution towards Osman’s goal of growing its membership. And, receiving recognition from Imperial membership for your accomplishment will be amazing! When we see you wearing your new JUST ONE pin, we will all know what you have accomplished for Osman Shrine!

JUST ONE new member or restoration…sounds pretty easy, doesn’t it?

Dear fellow nobles,

At the January 2019 Leadership Conference of Shriners Hospitals for Children, a high-level vision for

the hospital system in 2035 began to emerge. It was decided that quality would govern all care

decisions, delivery of care models would be evaluated in all facilities, and new methods of reaching

more kids in more places would be fully investigated. As healthcare has undergone incredible changes,

so too must Shriners Hospitals for Children.

The vision of establishing 1-4 Centers of Excellence was established along with a goal of 200+ access

points to Shriners care throughout the United States. Since that time, many changes have taken place

within our system. Twin Cities, Tampa, Boston, and Cincinnati are all reimagining their delivery of care

and transforming to better serve the pediatric specialty needs of our patients in the future.

With quality as the primary driver for all future decisions, criteria were established for evaluating

potential Centers of Excellence throughout the United States. Many steps, including short term and

intermediate transitions will be necessary to arrive at that goal of establishing these premier pediatric

care facilities. Since our Imperial Session in July, Houston and Galveston, utilizing a newly established

governance model, along with the Joint Boards voted to merge their facilities into one by late 2020.

Most recently, the Joint Boards have approved the Beta Center of Excellence Business Plan for SHC

— Northern California. This decision begins the process of necessary investment and changes needed

to begin the journey of potentially becoming a Center of Excellence.

All of these decisions reflect system wide opportunities, and regardless of geography, should be

viewed as system initiatives that benefit the continuation of our incredible mission at Shriners Hospitals

for Children. As we journey toward our next 100 years, working together we can take our system

beyond where it has ever been before as we re-reshape and transform pediatric specialty care for

future generations.

Yours in the faith,

Dear Auxiliary Members and Friends of the Auxiliary,

The Osman Shrine and Osman Womens Auxiliary sponsored their 4th Annual Golf Tournament on September 15th. It was a beautiful day, and everyone had a great time. We had 60 golfers and raised over $4,000 which was all given to the Auxiliary for the Wheelchair Fund for the children at our Shriners Healthcare for Children – Twin Cities. It really was a huge success!!! Thank you to everyone who participated in the tournament and everyone who sponsored holes and donated prizes. We really appreciate all of your generosity!! Thank you also to the committee who worked on this event: Illustrious Sir Anders Haugen,

Kathy Flicek, Cathy Sportelli and Rose West.

Thank you also to everyone who attended the Auxiliary luncheon on September 28th. As always, Chef Mike prepared a delicious meal which we all enjoyed. Our speaker, David Jones, gave a very compelling presentation about the 1936 Olympics also called the Nazi Games. The stories and facts he shared were absolutely fascinating. We learned so many interesting things about the Olympics and the history of the games. Thank you to Diane Johnson, Betty Porter and Marjorie Park for planning and hosting this great event. We appreciated the special treat boxes which Diane made, and the beautiful centerpieces made by Betty.

I also want to thank the Austin Shrine Club for the wonderful donation of $1,000 from the sale of their pop cans and tabs. This project was started by Charles Van House many years ago and the Club has continued the project. They collect the cans and tabs, sell them and give the money to the Osman Auxiliary for the Wheelchair Fund for the children at our Shriners Healthcare for Children – Twin Cities. We so much appreciate this great donation.

We will be distributing the Christmas stockings to the children at our Shriners Healthcare throughout the month of December. If you are interested in helping to distribute the stockings, please contact Kathy Flicek at 651-454-

7868 or [email protected].

Please mark your calendar for the last event for 2019 which will be the Auxiliary Holiday Luncheon on Saturday, December 7, at the Mendakota Country Club. The entertainment will be the Elizabethans, a community organization dedicated to preserving, promoting and performing music of and inspired by the Renaissance Period. They have performed at the Renaissance Festival several times. The festive Mendakota Country Club setting and these performers will definitely enhance our holiday spirit!

Again, it is a pleasure and honor to serve as your Chairman and thank you for all of your continued support to the Auxiliary. Your donations are making a difference in the lives of the children at Shriners Healthcare for Children – Twin Cities. We appreciate everything you do. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me..
