Recorder’s Corner
by Bill Butcher
Greetings Nobles,
Here we are into summer already and
somewhere along the line I missed the
transition from winter into summer. As you
all know we did not have much of a winter
this year, of which along with myself and I
believe many others we are very thankful
for that. Thanks needs to go to Strathoca
Shrine Club for hosting the Spring Ceremonial, a well organized
and fun weekend. We initiated 38 new Nobles . After compiling
all of the donations that were given by the various clubs and units,
the grand total this year was approximatgely $220,000.00, which
was a job well done, Nobles. My lady Sally told me that the ladies
luncheon was well attended along with a great meal and excellent
desserts and thanks to their speaker Pr. Sheila Eldridge who
spoke on membership. Thanks to a well attended Fezzing dinner
the weekend wrapped up with a success.
Well as you all know the Divan has just returned from Imperial
Session at Charlotte N.C. and some fun was had by all. But along
with the fun came a very serious side to the approach of business
of Shrine Hospitals and the many children that need and require
Chaplain’s Chat
Dear Nobles,
As I write this on a beautiful
summer day many of our younger
nobles who still have children in
elementary or secondary school
are likely getting ready or have
already started the process of
buying clothing for the children
and school supplies. Some of them
may be figuring out school bus
routes and the pick up and drop off times. Our Potentate’s
theme this year is “Fill the Bus”. We too as Nobles of the
Shrine should be starting the process of “filling the bus”.
We should be focusing on recruiting new shriners by
encouraging and if necessary subsidizing new and
established masons who express an interest in shrinedom.
This might mean encouraging their advance through other
Masonic orders but more importantly it would mean setting
an example for them of who and what we profess to be by
encouraging their participation in all our activities. There
are often occasions when newer members feel left out
because they lack the resources to participate due to the
pressures felt by young families with school age children.
Our faith has always taught us to be supportive and not to
walk alone. As a fraternity dedicated to helping children
and dedicated to living out our faith by deed and example
we need to be able to jump the bar at the highest level.
When God called Moses to lead his people, Moses said that
he could not do it because he was tongue tied and a slow
speaker, but God said your brother Aaron will speak for you
(Exodus 4:14-16). We are Nobles of the Shrine we can and
must serve together as Moses and Aaron served. We begin
by filling the bus, recruiting and encouraging new members
and supporting one another so that our children and
hospitals can thrive.
Peace, Shalom, Salaam
them. As you all know much work is done all over Canada and the
United States and Mexico to support this philanthropy. I have
neglected to mention that we have a new Imperial Potentate by
the name of Imperial Ill. Sir Alan W Madson and First Lady Jan. I
would also like to mention that the next Imperial Session will be
held in Indianapolis Indiana in July 2013. While I was in Charlotte
I attended a recorders seminar, and was updated on procedures
and up coming changes which will be put into place with the new
Imperial Divan.
When I returned to Mocha I found that things had progressed
quite nicely in the progression of the banquet hall, with all the wall
board up and now the messy part comes with the mudding of all
corners and seams which should be finished by the end of the
week of July 20, 2012. According to the contractor all is on target
for the completion date of Aug. 13, 2012 which will be a relief, to
know, that it will be ready for the Daughters of the Nile for Aug,
24, 2012.
Ending on this note I would like to wish all nobles and their
families a very happy and safe summer and until we meet again in
the fall you all take care now.
I picked that up in that there south.
Yours In The Faith
Bill Butcher

Dwight
Coughlan
Welcome our newest Nobles to the Greatest
Philanthropy in the World. Get involved, find a
mentor and most importantly stay involved.
Last month I lost a friend, a brother and a
noble. His name is Felix Gomez and he is the epitome
of our organization. Felix had the grace the patience the
heart and the wisdom to handle life’s little challenges.
Felix courageously battled cancer for a few years,
looking at each day as a new opportunity on life. We
would meet at our favourite Starbucks for his little shot
of cappuccino, and this is where we would share our
funny stories, our challenges and our friendship. He
had an uncanny way of taking a bad situation and
making it a positive experience. His last email to me
went something like this, I am doing better than my wife
(Denise) who has had a few broken bones lately… Take
Care the "Conquistador"...or as he always said "comekiss-da-door".
The following week he passed away.
Noble Felix, Brother Felix and my friend, was
the perfect person in my eyes, he laughed a lot, he cared
a lot, his heart was big, he was a perfect gentleman, and
life was so important to him.
To our new nobles, follow in the steps of Noble
Felix and you to will be a great Shriner and Brother.

William Francis Schrantz, MD
Bill Schrantz was
born November 8, 1945
in Quakertown, PA,
the son of William and
Frances Schrantz. He
graduated from the
Medical College of
Virginia in 1970 and
joined the Naval Reserves
as a flight surgeon with
the Marine Corps. He completed his General
Surgery Residency at Bethesda Naval Hospital in
1976 and completed his Orthopaedic Residency at
Bethesda in 1979. Bill then worked as an
orthopedist at Bethesda and in private practice. He
proudly served in Desert Storm 1990-1991 with the
USN Reserves.
Bill completed his Pediatric Orthopaedic
Fellowship at A. I. DuPont in 1992. He returned to
active duty with the USN and practiced
orthopaedics at Bethesda. He was named the
Physician of the Year at Bethesda in 1999. Bill
retired in 1999 with 20 years active duty with
the USN. During the next 7 years, he practiced
orthopaedics in private practice, as a consultant
and locum tenens. In 2007, he completed a Spine
Fellowship at SUNY Upstate. Bill joined Shriners
Hospitals for Children-Philadelphia as a consulting
pediatric orthopedist in January 2007. On January
3, 2008, he joined SHC-Erie and the rest is history.
Bill was a lifelong learner, teacher, mentor,
influencer and warrior. He cared deeply for his
patients and families. He loved SHC-Erie, the staff,
his peers, the Board and the mission and vision
of Shriners Hospitals for Children. He
cared deeply for the future of SHC-Erie. Bill
was unselfish in his work; through long
hours, his work with residents, house calls and his
cell phone number to all. He had high expectations
of himself and of others. He was a man with
twinkling blue eyes and his little laugh who enjoyed
great conversation, fine wine or an ice cold beer.
Bill was a true warrior in his own health
battle until his death on May 13th. His family
wanted us to know that the last 4 years of Bill’s
life spent with SHC-Erie were his happiest and best.
He will be buried in his scrubs and SHC lab coat
as there is still much work to do in heaven. The
family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorial
donations be made in Bill’s name to Shriners
Hospitals for Children-Erie facility.
BANQUET ROOM RENOVATIONS
At the time of writing this note, we are approximately at the mid point of
the time frame.
Mel-Barr Construction has maintained a good schedule of work and results.
Our Project Overseers, Nobles Barry O'Brian and Jim Thomsen have been
diligent in their duties.
Process variations have been dealt with in an expedient manner. Thanks to
Barry for the progressive pictures displayed in the Lounge as work progressed.
We anticipate completion within the time frame. We are still able to accept
contributions to the funding for this project: thanks to those Clubs/units that have
already donated to this project.

Membership Committee - Mocha News
Noble Shayne Eldridge
It's the hazy lazy days of summer - time for spending time at
the beach, enjoying bbqs and recruiting new Nobles for
Mocha.
Summer may be a time to take a break from some things yet
we should never minimize our efforts to bring new members
into the world's greatest philanthropy.
The Fall ceremonial will be upon us before you know it - it
would be Feztastic to see as many or more candidates as we
did at the Spring ceremonial!
The recruitment process is not just a matter of waiting for
good men to ask to become a Shriner. We need to actively
inform prospective candidates about we have to offer and the
good work that we do.
You never know when the opportunity will present itself so
make sure you always have an
application form handy - have it
presigned with your signature on
it. In order to retain our current
members we need to get them
involved in clubs, units and
Shrine activities. Do we have
enough activities to keep all our
nobles interested and involved?
Are we having fun? New members should be assigned a mentor
who ensures that they know the activities available and
someone is there to introduce them at events and functions.
We must also build on our relationships with our Blue
Lodges. Membership success of our Shrine Temple is directly
related to the membership success of our Blue Lodges.
Remember the acronym Elvis Presley used to use - TCB
(Taking Care of Business). For every Shriner, it is GTL - Go
To Lodge!
Technology is a great tool for reaching prospective members
- we need to increase the use of the Mocha website and make
use of Facebook and Twitter. The web site beashrinernow.
com is an important tool for membership recruitment and we
all need to do what we can to promote this website.
We ALL, every Noble of the Ancient Order of the Nobles of
the Mystic Shrine, have an important role to play in keeping
Nobles in your Shrine and bringing in new Nobles. Remember
why you became a
Shriner and all
those children who
need our hospitals.

What's Happening in the Units?
Mocha's Jeepsters
The four original members petitioned
Mocha Temple to form the Jeepster Unit in 1974 and
permission was granted by the Potentate, III. Sir T. Ray
Powell.
Today, the Jeepster Unit has 30 plus
members.The Unit made its first public appearance the
following year. And with continual growth in
members and vehicles it has been on parade in many
cities and towns throughout Canada and the United
States. Recently, we were represented in Charlotte,
North Carolina and St. Helens, Ontario. Our current
License plates MJU (Mocha Jeepster Unit) are
numbered 1 to 22. Our main mandate is to provide
transportation for our Potentate and Divan in Shrine
Parades, as well as the Imperial Divan when requested.
Our attendance in Civic parades, exhibitions, etc. is
always appreciated.
Each Jeepster is entirely owned and maintained
by the individual member which includes the expense
of travelling from our home base at Mocha to the events.
Every vehicle is identical in appearance and must be
properly maintained to rigid standards.
In addition to parades, this unit, though
relatively small in number, raises a significant amount
of funds for various Shrine projects, youth soccer and
other child centered needs.
Membership is open to interested Shriners; talk
to any current Jeepster member.

Mocha's Historic Concert Band
On June 10 our Concert Band entertained an
appreciative audience during its second Cabaret in the
last year.
Conductor Don McKellar directed the band
which played music from the big band era (Duke
Ellington, Glen Miller), John Williams’ arrangements,
marches and hymns. He was assisted in the presentation
by emcee Noble Gerry Stephenson who introduced the
arrangements to the 155 in attendance.
The concert band has been supporting Mocha
and the community for almost 100 years by playing
over 20 concerts a year with weekly practices each
Tuesday attended by a very dedicated membership of
40 Nobles and Associate Members.

Mocha Motor Corps
Continues to please the crowds at many area fairs and events!
For over 60 years now, motorcycle riding Nobles
who are members of the Mocha Motor Corps have been
entertaining crowds at SW Ontario fair and event parades
with demonstrations of their presence and their precision
motorcycle riding skills!
Every year the MMC members volunteer their
time and travel to communities like Brights Grove,
Goderich, Woodstock, Thamesford, Dresden,
Leamington, Bayfield, Mitchell, Thorndale and
Kingsville to represent Mocha with performances.
Through their parade activities Motor Corps
members raise funds for the Shriners Hospitals and other
Shriner charitable needs every year.
Members of the unit live communities like
Windsor, London, Woodstock, Norwich, Lucan, Brights
Grove and Bayfield.
They travel widely each year as volunteers and at
their own expense to perform at the various parades. At
one time MMC members rode smaller size motorcycles
but in recent years the corps began accepting members
with various sizes of motorcycles. Today, members ride
a variety of different motorcycle brands, including
Hondas, a BMW and Harley Davidson's Non motorcycle
riders also perform in the parades riding on the units'
1951 Harley Davidson golf cart which can seat 4 nobles.
Good fellowship get events after each parade and
a once per year "dinner with the ladies" provides a
friendly social aspect for the unit as well.
All motorcycle riding Shriners as well as nobles
who are non-motorcycle riders are eligible and most
welcome to join the unit.
As with all units of Mocha, MMC always
welcomes new and active members.
Motor Corps uniforms are available and annual

Bruce Shrine Club
The Bruce Shrine Club (BSC) is having a great
year so far. Members new and old alike are pitching in and
making things happen for our club. It’s been said many
times, “Many hands make light work!” and it is so true.
We were very pleased at our BSC representation at
the Spring Ceremonial in Strathroy.
BSC’s Noble
President Alex
Cameron
along with
2nd VP Ken
Cunningham
presented our
donations at
the Spring
Ceremonial to Ill
Sir Dave Fickling.
Many of our club
members took part
in the candidate’s
luncheon before
heading off to the
parade.
Bruce Trail Riders
had 6 of their
fearless riders
out on the
parade route.
It was a great parade followed by a very good
Fezzing ceremony and lovely Potentates Super.
The Bruce Shrine Clubs Charity Golf Tournament
was held on Saturday June 23rd and by all accounts was
another great success. The Organizers, Noble Paul Zorzi
and Noble Tom Zorzi sent our some very nice words of
thanks to all our volunteer helpers, our supporters and
sponsors for all their effort to make this event another
successful venture.

Noble President
Alex Cameron had
his picture taken
with each of the 24
teams that came
out to support our
event, but none
quite so
enthusiastic as
these four
golfers who had
home made fezz’s in an extra effort to show support for
the good work that Shriners do.
Organizer Noble
Paul Zorzi and BSC
Treasurer Noble
Frank Eagleson
made a last ditch
effort to hit these
enthusiastic golfers
up for payment of
dues on the putting
green.
It was great to see the support of our many fellow
Shriners and Masons but the public support for this event
was great as well. Thanks are extended to everyone and I
know Nobles Paul and Tom are already working on next
years tournament, so if you want to mark this event on
your calendar for next year, give them a call @ 519 483
6787 and they would be more than happy to get the list
started for 2013.
By the time you read this it will be October and
our Trail Riders will have once again participated in the
Women’s Triathlon in Kincardine. We will have had our
Annual Steak Fry, this year being held in the Kinsman Park
in Tara. We will have paraded in the Brussels and Durham
Homecoming Parades. Huron Pioneers Parade and the
Labour Day Parade in Port Elgin. Noble Brian Dayman
and his Lady Corrine are hosting the BSC Corn Boil this
year for the first time after Noble Vaughn and Lady Alberta
retired from hosting this event after 30 consecutive years,
what a great commitment. Many of our Fall Fair Parades
will be well under way and we will be gearing up for the
Fall Ceremonial in Norfolk where we will once again be
on parade together and enjoying Shrine Dom Hospitality,
Fun and Fellowship.
Well that’s it for now but like I always say, “I’m
proud to be a Shriner. I’m proud to wear the plaid. I’m
proud to help the children, who need our help so bad!”
Best of Wishes from Bruce County to you all!

If you didn’t have a chance to attend here is
what took place, we started off Friday evening with
250 people attending our half chicken meal with all the
trimmings which was open to Nobles, Ladies and the
public. This was followed by entertainment, a live band
and disc jockey for dancing with plenty of socializing.
Bright and early Saturday (6:30 A.M.) “Mel’s Diner”
started serving breakfast to get the gang ready for the rest
of the day’s activities. The “First Section” started at 9:00
A.M. and after that ended the Ladies were bused to Mt.
Brydges for their Luncheon where over 130 ladies sat
down to an enjoyable meal. At noon Noble Lyle Smith and
his team of “BBQ chefs” served over 250 at the men’s
lunch.
Our thanks to all the Clubs and Units who
participated in the parade and was well viewed by the
citizens of Strathroy which was followed by the “Second
Section”. Mocha received 42 applications to join but only
38 crossed the “hot sands”. The fezzing took place in Mt.
Brydges prior to the “Potentate’s Fezzing Banquet” where
everyone enjoyed a great meal with desserts that were
out of this world. A good crowd of over 150 attended the
banquet and after much fellowship the Nobles and
their Ladies departed for their homes throughout our
jurisdiction. Our thanks to Noble John Cann,
Transportation Chairman for recruiting non Shriners
Pal Mocha
At Pal Mocha’s regular meeting in June, the club
had the privilege of meeting Danny Steves and his parents.
The Pal Mocha was approached about assistance in
the purchase of a manual wheelchair for Danny.
Danny is 17 years old and has cerebral palsy. In
the past year he has suffered numerous medical problems
and is now hopefully in recovery.
We donated a total of $3800.00 for his manual
wheel chair which has been designed specifically to Danny’s
body with supports and tilt mechanisms for his comfort
and health. It will allow him access to areas his electric
chair would not fit. It also allows him more comfort
and more traveling experiences.
to drive the many buses and vans that were available to
transport the Nobles and Ladies.

visiting Nobles who attended the “Ceremonial” here in
Strathroy. Also a “tip of the fez” to our club members
who took part and worked very hard to make this this
Ceremonial a success.
Our members were well rewarded 3 days later
as we held our annual “Past President’s Night” and steak
barbecue, this was also the Potentate’s official visit and
was held at Noble Bruce McLean’s estate just south of
Glencoe. Several members of the Divan attended as well.
Thanks to our chefs Noble Lyle Smith and Noble Rick
Collier and their helpers for a terrific meal which was
followed by and interesting and informative address by

The Iron Camels held their AGM @ Molly Blooms
Irish Pub in Stratford, Ontario on the 17 April 2012.
Seven of our Noble Camels and their ladies were able to
attend and partake in the fun. It was at this meeting that the
Iron Camels accepted a motion to donate $300.00 at the
MOCHA spring ceremonial in Strathroy on the 2nd of
June. I.C.President, Noble Fraser Grant and I.C. Treasuer,
Noble Gerry Hooper made the presentation to Illustrious

One of our Camels, Noble Ron Duncan, AKA
“Shriek” who just happened to be the DDGM for North Huron
District was having his final visit to his home lodge
“Tiverton Lodge # 341” so we made arrangements to
surprise our Noble Friend with a motorcycle ride in for
that Tiverton meeting. It was a great surprise and a lot of
fun.
We also made plans for a spring ride in the London

Camel Mike Anderson and his Lady Deb on the Friday
night and had a wonderful trip in and around the shores of
Lake Erie lead by Noble Camel President Fraser Grant and

Strathoca Shrine Club
Wow! What a turnout to our Regular Meeting
Night in February. We had over 75 Shriners and friends
attend our Annual "Wild Game Dinner". Chef Noble Lyle
Smith welcomed all to the "Cook Shack". Noble Smith
and his helpers prepared the following wild game; deer
(roast and sausages), turkey, muskrat, duck, jack rabbits
and beaver. Each mouthful of meat was a great way to
experience some of "Mother Natures" animals.
Our guest speaker for the evening was "Noble
Bill Blackwell" President of the "Anglers and Hunters
Association" who gave an interesting talk on what
the group has done and what it hopes to do in the
future. A great way to end a theme night. A nice sight to
see that evening was the five or six pairs of father/son
combinations. Future members some day? In the same
theme, our Lodge Night was 10 days later where we
received "3 applications". May I suggest to the other clubs
and units that they hold a "Special Night" and receive
applications and in a year or two we have a chance of
increasing membership.
Speaking of membership, in the last issue of
"Mocha News" it was mentioned we have purchased a
"Very Long Rope" for the candidates to hold on as they
parade around town but we need your help to fill the ranks.
Please contact your club/unit president or secretary or
Mocha's office to pick up your application forms. The
joining fee is $375 and does not have to be paid until
Saturday morning, June 2nd. What does a candidate
receive for this fee? A fez for life, a free breakfast 7 - 9am
for him and his lady, then at noon time his lady will attend
the "Ladies Luncheon" free while the candidates receive
a free luncheon at the "West Middlesex Arena" where the
activities are being held. Details listed in the issue. Let the

sign up begin.
At our regular meeting night in March we had
the executive director and one of her clients from the
"Middlesex Community Living" inform us of how they
have incorporated the mentally challenged people into
job placement and group homes. Bringing relief to their
parents. Most informative.
At our April meeting Nobles chefs Rick Colier
and Bob Marshall served us St. Paddy's famous "corn beef
and cabbage" Along with other food items. Yum - Yum! A
surprise guest speaker was Mrs. Lorie Colledg a director
of our Montreal Hospital. She gave us a slide presentation
on what our new Shrine Hospital looks like and what fund
raising is to be expected. They have already started on
McGill's Hospital for training doctors, followed by
building the Children's Hospital next door.
Our Shriners Hospital will begin in 2013 next to
the Children's Hospital. She also showed slides of how
the extended areas of research and the operating rooms
will look when completed, along with some of the minor
departments. It was a great update to hear about our new
hospital which will be ready in 2015.
Also at this meeting we had 2 Shriners join our
club. Great to have you fellows. If any other Shriners
would like to join our club, we would be more than pleased
to have them. Our meetings are the 1st Tuesday of each
month which are held at our "Fraternal Hall" (15 Centre
Street) starting at 6:00pm with "Happy Hour" followed by
supper at 7:00pm served by Noble "Chef Rick" After this

what

missed...
MOCHA NEWS August 2012 Page 25

The popular actor Brother Ernest Borgnine died 08 July 2012, at
the age of 95 years, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles,
California.
He was a member of Hollywood Lodge No. 355, Los Angeles. In 2000
Ernest received his 50-year jewel in Abingdon Lodge No. 48,
Abingdon, Virginia. Bro. Borgnine was a Scottish Rite Mason of the
Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A. He joined Valley of Los Angeles in
1964; received the KCCH in 1979; was coroneted a 33° Inspector
General Honorary in 1983 and received the Grand Cross of the Court
of Honour in 1991.
(Text and pictures from the internet)
Bro. Borgnine was a dedicated Freemason. Below is the detail of his
joining Freemasonry and his expression of the value he placed on his membership in the order.
. . Cal
Why I Am a Mason
Mouth to Ear
By Ernest Borgnine, 33° Abingdon Lodge #48, Virginia (From The Scottish Rite Journal)
In 1946, 1 traveled with a friend down to a little town called Abingdon, Virginia, to see what the
Barter Theater had to offer. It offered nothing except hard work and board. My friend, not
accepting the work they offered him, stayed one day - I stayed five years. In that time I grew to
love the town and all it offered. The people, in particular, were simply marvelous.
Occasionally I would be assigned to go down to the printing shop and get posters made for the
upcoming shows at the Barter Theater.
One day, in talking to the owner of the print shop, one Elmo Vaughan, I found that he belonged
to the local Masonic Lodge, No. 48, in Abingdon. My father was also a Mason and had advanced
to the Thirty-second Degree in Scottish Rite Masonry, and I told this to Elmo. He was pleased,
and sensing his pleasure, I asked him if maybe I could join. He said nothing, continuing his work,
and a short while later, I took my posters and left.
The next time I saw Elmo, I asked him again about joining the Masonic Order - again he said
nothing - and again my work took me away. We became good friends and finally one day I passed
by and again I asked if I could join the Masons. Instantly, he whipped out an application and I
hurriedly filled it out. I didn't learn 'til later, that in those days, you had to ask three times.
I was thrilled! Not only was I going to be the first actor ever in Lodge No. 48, but I could just
imagine my father's surprise when I would spring the old greetings on him! I wanted only to
surprise my Dad - and was I surprised, when after I was made an Entered Apprentice, I found I
had to remember everything that happened to me at that event and come back and answer
questions about it!
Page 26 August 2012
MOCHA NEWS

I was assigned to a dear old man of about 92 years of age who, I felt, must have been there when
the Lodge first started. He was really of the old school - and he started me out with the
foot-to-foot, knee-to-knee and mouth-to-ear routine of teaching.
Besides doing my work for the Barter Theater and a little acting to boot, I was also going to that
dear Brother for my work in Masonry. I would tramp all over those lovely hills and work on my
"Whence came you's" and one day - oh, one fine day - I stood foot-to-foot with my Brother and
answered every question perfectly!
I was ecstatic! I was overjoyed and couldn't wait to get to Lodge to show my ability as an Entered
Apprentice.
After I quieted down, that dear Brother said, "You've done fine, but aren't you really only half
started?" I couldn't believe him! I knew my work; what else was there? He said "Wouldn't it be
better if you knew all the questions too?"
I couldn't believe my ears! All that hard work and only half done? He gently sat me down
foot-to-foot, knee-to-knee and mouth-to-ear and taught me all the questions. That didn't come
easy, because I was almost doing the work by rote, but with careful listening and by really
applying myself, I was soon able to deliver all the questions and answers perfectly! The night that
I stood in front of the Lodge and was asked if I were ready to answer the questions of an Entered
Apprentice, I respectfully asked if I could do both - questions and answers. I was granted that
wish and later found that I was the second man in my Lodge to have ever done so! I am truly
proud of that, never having demitted, I am still a member in
good standing in Abingdon Lodge No. 48.
I tell this story not for the merit it might gain me, but to tell you
that learning the Entered Apprentice obligation taught me a
great lesson in acting as well: that before I ever attempt to do a
part I should work, rehearse, feel, almost live that part to know
what I am talking about!
As I've advanced in Masonry, I have found we are an elite group
of people who believe in God, country, family and neighbors. We
work hard to help our fellowman; and through our charitable
work, such as support for the Childhood Language Disorders
Centers, we have made it possible to help many children grow
Into good American citizens. We should always be proud of the
Order we belong to. Where in all the world do you find so many great men and Brothers who have
helped the whole wide world? But - we are hiding our light under a bushel Basket!
Recently I attended a dinner for a friend, and I ran across a Brother who identified himself in a
hushed voice. I asked why he spoke in a whisper when talking about Masonry, and suddenly I
realized he wasn't the only one who had ever done that. I speak out loud about Masonry to
everyone! I'm proud of the fact that I belong to an organization that made me a better American,
Christian, husband and neighbor; and all it took was a little self-determination by going
foot-to-foot, knee-to-knee, and mouth-to-ear!

Revenue Cycle Billing "Goes Live" At Erie facility on June 5
The Shriners Hospitals for Children Erie facility will go live with Revenue Cycle on June 5. At that time
patients' private and governmental health care coverage will be charged for the services received at our facility.
Erie joins the other Shriners Hospitals for Children facilities in the U.S. that are already charging insurances for
services.
Under the contractual obligations with commercial insurance companies, Shriners Hospital is now
required to bill patients for their co-payments and deductibles. This will not affect those who do not have
insurance, or those with governmental coverage. Shriners Hospital received a waiver for collection of co-pays or
deductibles from governmental insurers, such as Medicare or Medicaid.
Patients will receive a statement from Shriners Hospitals for Children if their insurance requires the
collection of a co-payment or deductible. These statements will be sent after the patient's visit. There will be no
point of service collection or any method to accept these payments at the Erie facility. The statements will also
include a phone number to call with any questions regarding the statement. Our facility will also have financial
counselors on staff who can assist families if they express an inability to pay these balances.
Due to the complex and sensitive nature of this topic, all questions from patients and families regarding
financial obligaitons or the use of the insurance are to be directed to Karen Wagner, Director of Fiscal Services
at Erie. Please do not attempt to answer these questions yourself.
Questions you may receive:
coverage. Can the hospital NOT bill my insurance carrier for the services rendered at Shriners
Please remind your families and patients that Shriners Hospitals for Children will care for their child
regardless of the ability to pay. Inability to pay any amount will not affect access to care at Shriners Hospitals
for Children.
If you have additional questions about the Revenue Cycle and the billing of insurance, please contact
Karen Wagner at 814-875-8700

A Final Message from
Imperial Potentate Mike Severe
Greetings my fellow Nobles,
As I write this message, I’m in Charlotte,
N.C., preparing for the 2012 Imperial Session. It
will be an exciting week as we welcome our incoming
Imperial Potentate Alan Madsen and celebrate the
140th anniversary of our fraternity. I look forward
to seeing many of you in just a couple of days!
Last month, I had a wonderful time with
several Shriners and their Ladies during the
Imperial Potentate’s Trip to Alaska. Right after
the trip ended, I traveled to Portland, Ore., for
the Daughters of the Nile Supreme Session. At the
event, the Daughters of the Nile gave our health care
system a generous gift of $800,000, bringing their
total donations to Shriners Hospitals for Children®
to more than $50 million. In addition to monetary
gifts, the Daughters of the Nile volunteer countless
hours at the hospitals and provide much-needed
items including clothing, quilts, books, toys and
games. The organization’s dedication and support
over the years has played an integral role in the
success of our health care system.
My next stop was Tampa, Florida, for
Shriners Hospitals for Children and Shriners
International Committee Week. During the
visit, I attended meetings for the Investment
Committee, Strategic Assessment Task Force and
Salary, Personnel, and Retirement Committee.
The meetings were extremely productive and I’m
excited about the committees’ ideas for the upcoming
Imperial Year.
I then traveled to Louisville, Ky., for the
International Supreme Council Order of DeMolay.
As part of an annual tradition, I presented a check
on behalf of Shriners International to DeMolay
during their opening session. I also met with key
leaders of DeMolay to discuss ways we can work
with their organization. As a Senior DeMolay, I
believe it is important for temples to develop
and maintain relationships with DeMolay; the
organization can positively influence and impact the
future of our fraternity.
While I was in Louisville, I attended a
dinner at the Kosair Temple to promote fellowship
and membership. The Kosair Shriners are doing
a fantastic job bringing
in new members, and I
congratulate them for all
of their hard work. Later
that weekend, I had
the pleasure of attending
the DeMolay Hall of Fame induction of our very
own Past Imperial Potentate Nick Thomas. Also in
attendance were Imperial Recorder and Executive
Vice President Jack Jones and Imperial Sir Chris
Smith, a Senior DeMolay. Imperial Sir Thomas has
devoted 60-plus years to Masonry and I cannot think
of anyone more deserving of this tremendous honor.
I honestly can’t believe it was almost
one year today that I became your Imperial
Potentate. The past 12 months have been an
incredible experience and one that I will always
cherish. I’ve enjoyed traveling the country and
meeting so many of you. We are a special group of
people and every Noble should feel extremely proud
of helping make Shriners International what it is
today.
In addition to numerous temple visits, I
Children. At every hospital, the staff I spoke with
impressed me with their knowledge, attentiveness
health care system has on children and their families
is always an unforgettable experience.
This past year has allowed me to do some
amazing things. Never in my wildest dreams did
I envision I would raise a flag at Fort McHenry,
participate in the wreath laying at the Tomb of the
Unknowns, tour the Panama Canal, ride on a float
in the Tournament of the Roses Parade and have the
chance to put a Fez on my own son.
It has been an honor to serve as your leader and
I cannot thank you enough for allowing me this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“Remember Why You Became a Shriner!”
Yours in the Faith,
Michael G. Severe
Imperial Potentate
Chairman of the Board of Directors
