We are now well<br />
into summer and it<br />
feels good, after<br />
the cold wet spring.<br />
There has been a<br />
lot of activity with<br />
the <strong>Mocha</strong><br />
<strong>Shriners</strong>, since the<br />
last <strong>Mocha</strong> News<br />
and I will try to<br />
bring you up to<br />
speed on the activities.<br />
The first would be the <strong>Mocha</strong> Ball on<br />
May 7th at the Lamplighter Inn. Some<br />
changes resulted in a good attendance of<br />
approximately 280 people and I want to<br />
thank everyone who came out to support<br />
Helen and I for this event.<br />
Next, was the Spring Ceremonial in beautiful<br />
Saugeen Shores, again, another good<br />
attendance of <strong>Shriners</strong> and their ladies.<br />
Approximately 150 ladies attended the<br />
luncheon held on Saturday. We had 49<br />
new candidates at the Ceremonial along<br />
with another 3 at the Bruce Shrine Club<br />
installation, and 1 affiliate for a total of<br />
53 new <strong>Shriners</strong>.<br />
A great parade, with entries from all over<br />
the <strong>Mocha</strong> jurisdiction, even from<br />
Rameses Temple, was a highlight of the<br />
weekend. Thanks to the Legion of<br />
Honour, Bands, the Jeepsters for taking<br />
the Divan, and to all Clubs and Units for<br />
the special effort you put forth to be<br />
there.<br />
The donations were excellent being<br />
approximately $503,000 at the<br />
Ceremonial, including what has come in<br />
since. Great work Nobles, and thanks for<br />
your consideration of the Shrine Hospitals,<br />
Transportation Fund, the 100 Million<br />
Dollar Club, General Operations,<br />
MoFund, <strong>Mocha</strong> News and donations to<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> Temple for the planned renovations<br />
to the Upper Banquet Room. We<br />
are now in a good position to move forward<br />
on this project and I hope by fall, we<br />
have all the plans in and approved.<br />
Thanks Nobles for your support of this<br />
project.<br />
Getting back to the 53 new members of<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong>, we are also planning a Fall<br />
Ceremonial in the Temple on Saturday,<br />
Nov 5th at 9:00 am. We have approximately<br />
10 candidates for this event plus 4<br />
at the Sault Shrine Club, which we will<br />
bring in while on our visit there in<br />
September. This will bring us very close<br />
to the 75 we lost to the Black Camel this<br />
year, so we are close to maintaining our<br />
membership numbers. We have received<br />
a Bronze Award for 2010, to do with<br />
maintaining our membership totals.<br />
Membership Chairman, Harry Hewbank,<br />
says we are in line for a Silver Award for<br />
2011 for membership, so we are certainly<br />
going in the right direction. If any of you<br />
know of a Master Mason interested in<br />
Potentate’s Report<br />
joining <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong>, please bring<br />
them to the Fall Ceremonial.<br />
Noble recorder, Jeff Brown and I were<br />
invited to Brantford Shrine Club on June<br />
2nd and presented with three lovely paintings,<br />
which were in their building prior to<br />
their sale of the property. We appreciated<br />
very much, accepting these paintings on<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong>’s behalf and will treasure their<br />
monetary and sentimental value very<br />
much as we look at them in our Temple.<br />
We attended the Imperial Session of<br />
Shriner’s International in Denver<br />
Colorado, from July 2nd to July 7th. It<br />
was a very busy session with a lot of business<br />
on the “Call”. The new Imperial<br />
Potentate is Imperial Sir Michael G.<br />
Severe from El Jebel <strong>Shriners</strong> in Denver.<br />
Imperial Sir “Mike” became a Shriner at<br />
22 years of age, so he brings a lot of experience<br />
with him.<br />
We are now into the season of Golf<br />
Tournaments and B.B.Q.’s so take the<br />
opportunity to visit some of your neighbouring<br />
Clubs and Units in a social atmosphere.<br />
September 14th, is the Great Lake Shrine<br />
Association Annual meeting in<br />
Youngstown Ohio. We will be travelling<br />
to that event to represent <strong>Mocha</strong>, as we<br />
are a member of GLSA.<br />
September 20th, we are going on our<br />
Northern Trip to visit the Huron Shrine<br />
Club at Elliott Lake and the Sault Shrine<br />
Club at Sault Ste. Marie.<br />
There are still a couple of seats left for the<br />
Potentates Trip on October 13th to<br />
October 17th, so if anyone is interested,<br />
please call me.<br />
The next stated meeting is on Wednesday<br />
October 12th so please plan to attend, as<br />
it will be an interesting and busy evening.<br />
Hope you are enjoying the format of the<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> News, thanks to Nobles Boris<br />
Melnyk, George Van Slack and Stew<br />
Murdock. They have done a lot of work<br />
on the best way to produce this magazine<br />
at a lower cost, so thanks Nobles for what<br />
you have done. It just enforces my motto:<br />
“Let’s All Pull Together” it works every<br />
time.<br />
We are planning our second information<br />
day, as per your request, on Saturday,<br />
<strong>August</strong> 27th at 9:00 am in the Temple.<br />
Seniors Day will be the same day as our<br />
next Stated Meeting Wednesday October<br />
12th at 11:00 am at the Temple, with a<br />
roast beef dinner and presentation of<br />
awards at 12:00 noon. If you plan to<br />
come, please contact us for meal reservations.<br />
Have a good summer nobles, your<br />
ladies and families and I hope to see you<br />
soon at some event in your area, or the<br />
next Stated Meeting.<br />
Yours in the Faith, Jack Cumming,<br />
Potentate, <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong><br />

Recorder’s Corner<br />
by Jeff Brown<br />
Our Spring Ceremonial was a huge success<br />
and it was thanks to the Bruce Shrine Club<br />
for hosting a great weekend. We initiated<br />
three candidates just prior to the Ceremonial<br />
at the Bruce Shrine Club Official Visit as<br />
they were unable to attend the weekend’s<br />
festivities. Then at the Ceremonial, we initiated<br />
a further 48 candidates for a total of 51 new Nobles! As we<br />
reconciled the donations from the Ceremonial, additional donations<br />
kept flowing in to the office and our final total reached just<br />
over $504,000. Well done Nobles!!<br />
Many issues and events followed the Ceremonial until we found<br />
ourselves prepping to leave for the Imperial Sessions in Denver,<br />
Colorado. There was a very full agenda for the business sessions<br />
this year and we found ourselves very busy over the few days we<br />
had there. I attended the Recorder’s Seminar on Sunday morning<br />
and got a number of updates and new information to deal with<br />
over the next several months. My wife and I had the unique pleasure<br />
of being made “Honorary Texans” this year and invited to<br />
attend the Texas Breakfast event on the Monday morning at 6:30<br />
a.m. They put on a great show after breakfast by “roasting” each<br />
of the Imperial Divan Ladies then having the pleasure of being<br />
serenaded in return by the Imperial Divan ladies in a well done<br />
Country Music song with Shrine related lyrics. We finished all this<br />
and still got the Imperial Divan and ourselves to the first Business<br />
Session at the scheduled time.<br />
The weather was great (hot & dry) and there was lots to see<br />
around the area for those who had time to book side trips.<br />
Highlights of the Business Sessions included the creation of a new<br />
Temple in Heidelberg, Germany with the name of EMERAT<br />
SHRINERS. We expressed our congratulations to our newest<br />
Temple and wished them every success in the future. We now<br />
Chaplain’s Chat<br />
As I write this column, our mission<br />
to Afghanistan is drawing to a<br />
close and most of our troops are<br />
coming home. Most of them will<br />
return home in good health, but a<br />
significant number will return home<br />
with the invisible scars of the<br />
mission,-post traumatic stress disorders.<br />
Others have already<br />
returned bearing the physical and emotional scars of their<br />
service. As padre to several veterans’ organizations I<br />
have been often disgusted by the amount of red tape and<br />
bureaucratic nonsense that some of our veterans have to<br />
face when they apply for assistance or pensions. These<br />
men and women volunteered to serve their country, they<br />
have 194 Temples around the world! A proposed Temple in<br />
Mindanao, Philippines was also given a UD registration and we<br />
will look forward to their business report next year. This may be<br />
our 195th Temple! Members of the other new Temples were also<br />
in attendance and participated in the big parade on Monday, July<br />
4th in downtown Denver. Our new Imperial Potentate is Imperial<br />
Sir Michael Severe and is one of the youngest Imperial Potentates<br />
ever installed into this prestigious office. We all look forward to<br />
another good year within our fraternity in 2011 – 2012. Next year’s<br />
Imperial Session will take place in Charlotte, N.C.<br />
As part of the Hospital Report, we learned how our hospitals are<br />
changing with new business and processes approved by the delegates<br />
to extend 3rd party pay within our system in the U.S.A. In<br />
order to overcome our financial shortfalls each year, this is a crucial<br />
element that had to pass this year. It will enable our U.S. hospitals<br />
the ability to collect insurance money and co-pay benefits to offset<br />
ever growing costs. We also discovered how our various hospitals<br />
are changing to reflect the new realities of medical treatment. We<br />
no longer need 40 or 60 bed hospitals when average overnight<br />
stays are in the single digits. More and more hospitals are utilizing<br />
new procedures and treatments to significantly reduce hospital<br />
stays and the huge overhead costs that represents. However, even<br />
though our look and treatments are changing, our attention to<br />
detail with our patients will never change. We will always continue<br />
to provide the “world’s best care” by the “World’s Greatest<br />
Philanthropy”.<br />
Noble Barry O’Brien is continuing to work with his committee on<br />
the banquet hall project and hopefully will have a report available<br />
for our next Stated Meeting in October. I personally urge as many<br />
as possible to attend our next Stated Meeting to learn how everything<br />
is proceeding. October 12th @ 7:30 p.m. mark it on your<br />
calendar now.<br />
Stay safe over the rest of the<br />
summer; we want to see<br />
you back this fall.<br />
did not volunteer to be wounded or killed in action. They<br />
knew that they might be called to put their lives on the line<br />
to save others just as police officers, fire fighters, and<br />
other emergency responders do every day. Members of<br />
the Legion of Honour have all served their country and<br />
paid the price for our freedoms; as fellow <strong>Shriners</strong> we<br />
have a duty to advocate on the behalf of all veterans, to<br />
support them and their families in their times of need and<br />
above all to thank them for their selfless call to duty. We<br />
as nobles of the Mystic Shrine have a duty to respond to<br />
the call to serve our God, our country, our families, and<br />
our temple always remembering the scripture to “Love<br />
the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your<br />
soul, and all your might,” (The Tanakh, Deuteronomy 6:5)<br />
and “Love your fellow as yourself” (The Tanakh, Leviticus<br />
19:18).<br />
Blessings and Peace, Gordon Simmons<br />

Nobles<br />
Well nobles here we are with another Issue, of the<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> News, and this being the <strong>August</strong> Issue, means<br />
that the next one will be November, and I don't believe<br />
we'll be concerned about the heat and humidity, like we<br />
are right now.<br />
I wish to welcome all the New Nobles, who joined us<br />
this year, and hopefully you will join a Club, or Unit, and<br />
become involved in Shrinedom. Like Masonry the more<br />
you put into it the more you get out of it.<br />
Sponsors mentor your candidates and get them started<br />
on the right path, to enjoyment.<br />
It was heartwarming to me to hear all the donations<br />
made at the Ceremonial, and I was particularly happy to<br />
hear the <strong>Mocha</strong> News mentioned several times, and<br />
special Thanks to all Clubs and Units who thought<br />
enough of our Newsletter to try to reinforce, it's future.<br />
On another note that may be good news to some of you<br />
and sad news to others, the Editor is retiring after next<br />
Issue. Thus I would request any Noble whether you just<br />
joined or have been a member for years to get a hold of<br />
me at 519 842 3064, or call the Temple at 519 672-<br />
1391, and let us know.<br />
I will be most happy to train you if you like or to assist<br />
in any way I can.<br />
E-mail me at thecooks@sympatico.ca and we'll chat.<br />
Thanks and Happy Reading Dennis<br />

Membership Committee - <strong>Mocha</strong> News<br />
Noble Shayne Eldridge<br />
Why did you<br />
become a Shriner?<br />
What was it about<br />
our fraternity that<br />
interested you and<br />
keeps you interested?<br />
These are important<br />
questions as it<br />
relates to your participation<br />
and enjoyment<br />
in it's activities. How much you enjoy being a<br />
Shriner is generally an indication of the level of your<br />
participation and this then can be a determining factor in<br />
your remaining a member and your willingness to recruit<br />
fellow masons to join you in the Shrine.<br />
When was the last time you asked a fellow Mason to<br />
join the Shrine? I would hope that your answer would<br />
be 'just last week'.<br />
There is a Membership Committee - yet if you did not<br />
know you are an integral member of this committee, I'm<br />
letting you know now that you are. Each of us play an<br />
important part in ensuring the longevity of our Shrine.<br />
Make sure you always have at least one Petition for<br />
Membership with you at all times. You can download a<br />
copy from the <strong>Mocha</strong> website. Pre-sign them with your<br />
signature - a pen is not always handy! Put a couple in<br />
your apron case. Keep one in your car/truck. How about<br />
your desk at work? You never know when the opportunity<br />
will arise and it is great to have a petition handy -<br />
strike while the iron is hot!<br />
Let them know how pleased you are that they will join<br />
you in the Shrine. Tell them that your hope is for them to<br />
enjoy and have as much fun as you have - never forgetting<br />
who we do all this for - the Shriner kids. Start getting<br />
them thinking about clubs /units to join.<br />
Once you have given out a petition, make sure you keep<br />
in contact with the Noble-to-be. Assist in obtaining the<br />
signature of a second Noble on the petition. 'Follow up -<br />
follow up - follow up' to ensure the petition gets to the<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> office so all the necessary paperwork can be done<br />
in time for the next Ceremonial.<br />
Touch base with him prior to the Ceremonial. Make sure<br />
they received all the info they need to attend the<br />
Ceremonial. Make every effort possible to be at the<br />
Ceremonial to show your support for them. Be there<br />
when they are fezzed, I know from personal experience<br />
how this felt to have some friends (as well as my wife<br />
and mother) there at that time to welcome/support me.<br />
Don't forget to ensure that the Noble-to-be brings their<br />
lady to the Ceremonial with them. Our wives are an<br />
important partner in our journey throughout the Shrine<br />
and it is great to have them there with us as we embark.<br />
Now they are a Shriner and proudly wear their Fez! Don't<br />
let them drift. Take them to a Stated Meeting - it is important<br />
that we all know what is going on in our Shrine and<br />
take an active part. Introduce them to other Nobles at<br />
meetings. Assist them in joining a club/unit - ones you<br />
belong to or other units that interest them.<br />
Don't think your job is done at this point! It is unfortunate<br />
but it does seem to happen more than we like that Nobles<br />
lose interest over time. You have a role in not letting that<br />
happen. Keep in contact with the Noble you sponsored<br />
into the Shrine - consider it a brotherly responsibility. Do<br />
what you can to help keep them interested and active in<br />
our Shrine. If need be, have the Noble talk to the<br />
Potentate, member of the Divan or Membership<br />
Committee to discuss why they have lost interest. The<br />
Divan and Committee want to know. If we do not know<br />
what needs to be done differently to retain Nobles, it is<br />
difficult for the Divan to make positive changes.<br />
Let's all do our part to bring in and retain Nobles! If<br />
you need any assistance or have any questions, contact<br />
any member of the Membership Committee.<br />

Nobles All:<br />
The role of a Divan Officer is a demanding one<br />
in that it requires the individual to possess<br />
certain abilities and be prepared to finance<br />
a major portion of his activities on behalf of<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> out of his own pocket.<br />
The responsibilities are varied throughout<br />
the five year term as each elected Officer<br />
progresses through the Divan positions to<br />
become Potentate. (If starting at an appointed<br />
level, this term can be up to seven years long.)<br />
Business management, financial planning and<br />
knowledge of Legal Affairs are all valued assets<br />
for a prospective candidate but certainly not all<br />
of the possibilities. It is not a post one should<br />
take frivolously or without due consideration<br />
of the effort, time and monetary implications<br />
it can have on one’s life. Similarly, one’s spouse<br />
should be prepared to commit to the social<br />
responsibilities and requirements that the<br />
husband’s progression on the “Line” will entail.<br />
In the Past, the Divan Officers have requested that<br />
prospective candidates for the Divan contact the<br />
Recorder to ensure their desires are recognized.<br />
If you or someone you know is interested in<br />
becoming a member of the Divan, for<br />
appointed or elected positions, please<br />
submit a brief synopsis or resume of your/<br />
their background and qualifications for such<br />
a post to the Recorder as soon as possible.<br />
Remember that the earlier such information<br />
becomes available, the better able the Divan<br />
will be in assessing your interest and skills for<br />
a possible post. All resumes will be treated<br />
with a high degree of confidentiality and will<br />
only be seen by elected Divan members for<br />
their consideration. No information will be<br />
discussed with or disseminated to any other<br />
member of <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong> without your<br />
consent.<br />

<strong>Shriners</strong> International Approves<br />
Addition of New Temple<br />
Wednesday, July 6, 2011<br />
<strong>Shriners</strong> International is proud to<br />
welcome Emirat <strong>Shriners</strong> of<br />
Heidelberg, Germany, as its 194th<br />
temple.<br />
Emirat <strong>Shriners</strong> received its charter<br />
during the Imperial Session, which is<br />
being held in Denver July 3-7. In addition, legislation was passed<br />
allowing dispensation - one of the first steps toward forming a new<br />
temple - in Mindanao, The Philippines.<br />
The <strong>Shriners</strong> fraternity is experiencing growth and interest worldwide.<br />
In its first year as a standing committee of <strong>Shriners</strong><br />
International, the international development committee was extremely<br />
busy. With the help of the dispensation and charter committee and<br />
the jurisdiction alliance, two new Shrine clubs were added in Puerto<br />
Rico and six Shrine clubs were added in The Philippines. Shrine<br />
Clubs were also formed in Brazil, Bolivia, Germany, Italy and<br />
Australia. There are now a total of 53 Shrine Clubs and 1,193 new<br />
<strong>Shriners</strong> overseas. There is also growing interest in forming Shrine<br />
clubs in several other countries.<br />
In order for these clubs to one day be chartered as a temple (if that<br />
is their wish), they must show a gain in membership and create<br />
nobles of the Master Masons who signed the petition required to<br />
obtain dispensation status, which lasts a year.<br />
“I’m very excited about the international growth we’ve had this past<br />
year and I look forward to seeing membership to continue to thrive,”<br />
said Past Imperial Potentate Nick Thomas, chairman of the international<br />
development committee. “The relationships developed overseas<br />
are an integral part of the fraternity’s future and we look forward<br />
to adding another new temple at the 2012 Imperial Session in<br />
Charlotte, N.C.”<br />
New Members<br />
We certainly welcome all of the new members<br />
who joined us this year at the Spring<br />
Ceremonial or at a later meeting. So great to<br />
have you as members of our Temple, and I<br />
sincerely hope you enjoy being a member,<br />
and find yourselves joining one of the many<br />
Clubs, or Units. " GET INVOLVED"<br />
I always try to feature a new couple from<br />
each Ceremonial and this year is no exception.<br />
Pictured above are one of our newest<br />
Nobles Steve Stone, and Lady Cheri, from<br />
Muirkirk, On. Steve is a member of Highgate<br />
Lodge No. 336.<br />
I expect to see this Shriner become a pretty<br />
active member of <strong>Mocha</strong> Temple.<br />

London <strong>Mocha</strong> Oriental Band<br />
A rather wide angle picture, but this is what it takes to<br />
illustrate the numbers turning out at a regular practice<br />
evening to honour one of our own Bandsman, I must say<br />
honoring Noble Bill Stanley is a pleasure indeed, he has<br />
been an active member of the London Shrine Oriental<br />
Band for a considerable time and the Band bestowed<br />
upon Bill the honour of a surprise visit to his abode and<br />
played for him a few of our most famous tunes. We have<br />
no idea if Bill will be removed from his street by his<br />
neighbours, but we do know that this was such a surprise<br />
for Bill after a startled awakening from his early evening<br />
rest that we thought it might affect his ability to talk, no<br />
such luck.<br />
UNIT NEWS<br />
Is there anyone who can recognize this old picture<br />
location and the occasion? If you can identify the Slave<br />
you may have a good idea.<br />
The plumage is in fact a tree in the background but does<br />
have a good effect. If you have any idea, please send<br />
your message to Charlie at charles.crow@sympatico.ca<br />
Bill is a young in spirit senior member of our society but<br />
getting a little beyond his ability to attend many functions<br />
so as another tribute, we say “well done our true<br />
and trusty friend” and this message is from each and all<br />
of us.<br />

Things done and yet to be done:<br />
This period is the beginning of our summer slack time,<br />
time only for rest and refreshment but few parades prior<br />
to the Christmas season. The Oriental Band have paraded<br />
in Ailsa Craig for several years and on July 16th.<br />
experienced one of the hottest experiences in a long<br />
time needless to say that the Legion following the<br />
parade was the Oasis.<br />
On Sept. 4th, we will parade in Port Rowan, (this day<br />
should be much cooler). Following the parade we will<br />
refresh at our usual place with our B.Q. and Beer bash,<br />
both Band and their ladies enjoy this occasion. Sept.<br />
24Th, we will parade in Thorndale. Sunday, September<br />
4th. Port Rowan; Saturday, September 24th Thorndale<br />
and our favourite September 10th. B.Q. in Dashwood.<br />
The October Fish Fry at St Thomas is another benefit,<br />

background as we will teach you in short order to play<br />
the kind of music we promote. We have a great deal of<br />
fun, travel with our Ladies and above all, we delight the<br />

<strong>Mocha</strong> Love Bugs<br />
BOB SHIER<br />
UNIT NEWS<br />
In this issue of <strong>Mocha</strong> News we would like to feature<br />
Bob Shier. Bob was born and raised in Regina,<br />
Saskatchewan, married Marie in 1960 and spent five and<br />
a half years in Winnipeg and two and a half years in<br />
Edmonton where he managed a Martin Senour Paint<br />
Store. Moved to London in 1969, working with Niagara<br />
Chemicals as a Professional Sales Representative selling<br />
small package pesticides to dealers in Southwestern<br />
Ontario. Retired in 2003 from NuGro Corporation.<br />
His Masonic journey started in 1976 being initiated into<br />
King Solomon's Lodge #378 where he progressed through<br />
the chairs and became Master in 1984. Before joining the<br />
Shrine in 1980, at the spring ceremonial in Goderich and<br />
Clinton, he joined all the subsequent bodies in York Rite<br />
- St. George's Chapter #5 (treasurer for five years),<br />
Enoch Council, York College and Perceptory.<br />
After becoming a Shriner his musical talents directed<br />
him to the <strong>Mocha</strong> Oriental Band in 1981 where he served<br />
as Director from 1986 to 1994. President of the Band in<br />
2005 and became a Love Bug Member in 2008 when he<br />
bought Don Clark's little orange 1972 hard top bug. His<br />
license plate reads "Bobs Bug". He is currently second<br />
vice president of the Unit. He enjoys parading both with<br />
the Band (walking) and the Love Bugs (driving) and is a<br />
dedicated Shriner helping the kids who need help.<br />
Greeters Unit of <strong>Mocha</strong> Temple<br />
It is with great sadness that the Greeters Unit has gone<br />
into darkness. We can no longer perform the Duties,<br />
which our Club was intended to do, mainly to be Greeters<br />
to any Temple, Units, Clubs, etc. that wished to welcome<br />
Nobles, Ladies and guests.<br />
The Unit was originally started by Noble Charlie Hope,<br />
who came to us from B.C., and was active in a Greeters<br />
Unit there. He got a group of active Camel Coach members,<br />
and the Greeters Unit was formed.<br />
The first meeting was held on Wednesday November 15,<br />
1989, and at the next Dinner Meeting, on December 20,<br />
1989 Potentate Noble Bob Henry, installed the first slate<br />
of officers, for the Unit.<br />
Over the next years we gained new members and the<br />
Unit grew, but as time went on our numbers dwindled<br />
down due to visits from the Black Camel, Age, Health,<br />
and Resignations. Upon the agreement by the members<br />
to fold we were down to 9 members, who were categorized<br />
into groups of 3, so there were 3 who were in poor<br />
Bob and Marie has<br />
been married for<br />
fifty plus years and<br />
have a daughter<br />
Leanne (works at<br />
University<br />
Campus) and son<br />
Darrell (owns his<br />
own business -<br />
Stadar Wholesale selling trailer hitches and recreational<br />
vehicle parts), and have four grandchildren. On a sad<br />
note Bob and Marie's daughter (Karen) was killed in<br />
1991 by a drunk driver.<br />
Bob is active in his church, Richards Memorial United<br />
Church, where he is currently Chair of Finance, a position<br />
he has held for many years, secretary of the Board<br />
of Trustees and he chaired the famous "Green Team"<br />
spearheading the installation of solar panels on the<br />
church roof in 2010.<br />
Bob would encourage any Shriner with an interest in the<br />
Love Bug Unit to call President: Larry Schmeltz (519-<br />
773-9055), Secretary: Roy Pickard (519-773-5526) or<br />
check us out at www.lovebugs.ca.<br />
Driving a "bug" is fun and exciting.<br />
health, 3 who had trouble walking, and three healthy<br />
members, and the rest is history.<br />
Alas all is not completely lost as most of the members<br />
belong to other Units.<br />
Yours in the Faith Noble Donald Hodgins Sec./ Trea.<br />

<strong>Mocha</strong> Trumpet Band<br />
Without music life would be a mistake.<br />
UNIT NEWS<br />
This is the reason why <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong><br />
have a Trumpet Band. Don’t you make<br />
a mistake … join our unit!<br />
Want to know the best way to confuse<br />
a drummer?<br />
Put sheet music in front of him. (A bit of band humour)<br />
All kidding aside, the <strong>Mocha</strong> Trumpet Band is a funloving<br />
group that plays fine music for many communities<br />
and events. So come on down and check us out. We<br />
practice every Monday night at 7:30pm in the <strong>Mocha</strong><br />
Shrine Centre Banquet Hall. We also supply the uniform,<br />
instrument of your choice and will even teach. To<br />
see what we’re all about, go to our web site: mochatrumpetband.org.<br />
This superb website was set up by one of<br />
our talented drummers, Paul Davidson. You will not be<br />
disappointed I can assure you.<br />
We kicked off our 2011 season on April 9th playing at<br />
the Wellington Street United Church where we participated<br />
in a closing/farewell performance and dinner for<br />
parishioners and guests. A big ‘thank you’ to the church<br />
committee for the delicious meal! Sadly the closing of<br />
this church is like many organizations, succumbing to<br />
the lack of new members. Our Fraternity has a similar<br />
problem. I am sure this is only a sign of the times though<br />
because <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong> have so much to offer; fraternal<br />
friendship, the choice of many units to join and most<br />
important of all, the funds we raise for <strong>Shriners</strong> Childrens<br />
Hospitals, so there is every good reason to know we will<br />
survive and grow.<br />
On May 1st, many MTB members manned the water station<br />
for the London Races. This is a worthwhile cause<br />
and has become an annual event for us. Two members of<br />
the Band participate in these races, Ron Henry and Rick<br />
Hamm. The band issued a cheque for $500 to the<br />
Thames Valley Children’s Centre.<br />
At the Potentate’s Ball on May 7th we added to a spectacular<br />
evening by playing to all the Nobles, their Ladies<br />
and guests before they entered the Banquet Room.<br />
Potentate, Illustrious Sir Jack Cumming and his Lady,<br />
Helen were proud of the <strong>Mocha</strong> Trumpet and Oriental<br />
Band Units.<br />
Woodstock was the next to have the pleasure of our<br />
music on May 23rd. The weather was perfect at the start<br />
of the parade but it started to cloud over and rain before<br />
the parade finished. Fortunately, being <strong>Shriners</strong> and<br />
‘righteous’, the sun (almost) shone on us to the end and<br />
we finished without getting too wet. (“Everywhere you<br />
go, sunshine follows you …”)<br />
On May 28th we travelled to Port Elgin for the<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> Shrine Ceremonial. Arrangements for a bus and<br />
hospitality were arranged by our long-time Entertainment<br />
Chairman, Ken Jenkins. Here again, <strong>Mocha</strong> Units supported<br />
our Potentate, Illustrious Sir Jack Cumming.<br />
Even though it was a long parade for some marching<br />
members, the Trumpet Band looked smart and played<br />
well. In the 2nd section the band, led by our enthusiastic<br />
Director extraordinaire, Stew Taylor, we again played<br />
and entertained. I am sure the 49 new <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong><br />
were impressed and many wished they could join us and<br />
they can of course, simply by introducing themselves at<br />
one of our practices. Rest assured each and everyone<br />
would be most welcome. Hopefully those that were in<br />
attendance managed to drop by our Jewelry concession<br />
where Chairman, Greg Jackson and his assistants, Don<br />
Gellatly, John Powell and Stew Murdoch spent many<br />
hours setting up the display and selling well. By the way,<br />
any time you are in the Shrine Center you can visit the<br />
jewelry display. If you see any item you wish to purchase,<br />
please go to the <strong>Mocha</strong> Office and they will be<br />
happy to assist you. .<br />
At this Ceremonial, the band was proud to present two<br />
cheques to our Potentate: one for $4,000 to go towards<br />
refurnishing <strong>Mocha</strong> Shrine Centre Banquet Room and<br />
the second for $250 to help with expenses of publishing<br />
the “<strong>Mocha</strong> News”.<br />
We were in Stratford for Canada Day, July 1st doing a<br />
7:00pm evening parade where we played to an enthusiastic<br />
cheering crowd especially when we stopped a few<br />
times and played “O Canada”. On July 18th we held our<br />
Annual MTB Bar-B-Que at the beautiful London Life<br />

Like many <strong>Mocha</strong> Units, the band was again successful<br />
selling Vidalia Onions. Our Chairman of this project,<br />
Terry Cluney, put in many hours of work and effort to<br />
make sure that we sold our 400 bags. (He’s the only<br />
person that doesn’t cry handling onions!)<br />
Under the patronage of the <strong>Shriners</strong> Children’s Hospital<br />

Ways to tell if you have been in a marching band too<br />
long:<br />
• You can actually hear ‘music’ from the drummers<br />
• You think trumpet (musette) players have the right to be<br />
egotistical<br />
• You think you have perfect pitch<br />
• The band director is always right<br />
• You need to stay in step with anybody you walk with<br />
• Those lousy “Band humour” jokes are the funniest<br />
thing you ever heard<br />
Of course, none of these apply to the <strong>Mocha</strong> Trumpet<br />
Band. (Oriental Band…..maybe!)<br />
Don’t forget - come and check us out on a Monday night.<br />
You’ll be glad you did!!<br />

The Lambton Shrine Club Motor Corps, are always<br />
well known for their colorful antics, and skillful maneuvering<br />
of their Mini Cars, at various Parades. Many<br />
spectators line the streets at every Parade, hoping to<br />
catch a glimpse of the Motor Corps going through the<br />
routine of "Mad Cap" driving. These guys are of course<br />
one of the favorites of the children, as witnessed by the<br />
pointing, and laughing.<br />
Parades are not the only area of dedication, and we take<br />
part in many Fund raising projects for the Shrine, and<br />
donate to the local Community as well.<br />
On Wed. May 11th. the Club donated their time at the<br />
CLUB NEWS<br />
local McDonalds on Exmouth St., selling Balloons,<br />
French Fries, and collecting donations from various<br />
customers. After the events the Club donated<br />
$ 1,000.00 to Ronald McDonald House, and any monies<br />
collected that day went to McDonald House, and the<br />
Dow Center for Youth.<br />
Later that same day we visited St. Joseph Hospice,<br />
where we met with Mr. Bob Murray, and a further<br />
$ 1,000.00 was donated to them the Hospice. Mr.<br />
Murray thanked us immensely, and said the daily cost<br />
of running the Hospice is around $ 3,000.00 per day.<br />
Following that busy day we still had time to attend the<br />
Monthly Meeting and prepare for the upcoming<br />
events.<br />
Dedicated Nobles indeed.<br />

Nobles, please see that we look after new members...<br />
I became a Shriner at the 2006 Spring Ceremonial. I am a member of the Oriental Band and proudly wear<br />
the fez that was once worn by my father.<br />
I went to my first stated meeting last night. Why was this my first one - after all I have been a Shriner for<br />
almost 3 years? Mainly because one of my Noble friends asked to go along with them - and do you know what?<br />
I was glad I did. Not only did I learn more about the amazing MSPOTS initiative, I learned about my Shrine<br />
and my temple and the serious financial situations affecting our fraternity. I say 'my' because I think it is<br />
important that each of us remember that this is 'our' Shrine and 'our' temple and we each need to<br />
consider what we, and more importantly the children, would be do without them.<br />
Many signficant decisions need to be made about the ongoing viability of my Shrine hospitals - what will my<br />
hospitals look like in 5, 10 or 25 years from now? The decisions that need to be made in San Antonio later this<br />
year will reverberate for many years.<br />
I also was reminded last night about the importance to me of my temple and that I need to do more to<br />
support it's existence.<br />
It is not an easy world out there these days - my Shrine is not alone in trying to face the many issues that affect<br />
it.<br />
I have decided that I need to show my support for my Shrine by rededicating my committment to it.<br />
I will............................<br />
• Attend more stated meetings. Not only will I enjoy an evening of camaderie, I will show my<br />
support to my Divan and be more aware of what is happening in my Shrine. (I'm already thinking<br />
of how I can support my Shrine on June 6th - Shiners International Awareness Day!.) I will ask a<br />
Noble to join me in attending the next stated meeting!<br />
• Recruit a new Noble - not only once but every year. I enjoy being a Shriner and knowing that what<br />
I do can help many children. I know I can pass on my enthusiasm to a fellow brother!<br />
• Give ideas. If I have a good idea that will help support my Shrine, I will let a member of my Divan<br />
know. We are all in this together!.<br />
• Support fund raising initiatives. I'm going to get an application for the Petro-Canada card that<br />
will donate just over a penny a litre to my Shrine - I'll get some to my family members as well.<br />
I had fun selling some onions last year - I'll do what I can to sell a few more bags this year.<br />
I'm hoping that each of you will each confirm your committment to your Shrine.<br />
If we each did this, just imagine! Noble Shayne H. Eldridge<br />

<strong>Mocha</strong> Temple History<br />
The year is 1886, London, Ontario and a lone Shriner<br />
is living in the city. He together with members of<br />
Knights Templar, who had been initiated in Detroit,<br />
Michigan petitioned to form a Shrine Temple in<br />
London. A dispensation was issued for “Sultanat<br />
Temple: and for a short time London had the honour of<br />
having Canada’s first Shrine Temple. However, the<br />
time was not yet right for “Sultanat Temple” and it soon<br />
became dormant and the dispensation was recalled.<br />
Shrinedom in London dates from January 1, 1908 with<br />
the foundation of <strong>Mocha</strong> Temple, and the seventh<br />
Shrine Temple in Canada. Noble Harry Collins,<br />
Potentate of Rameses Temple in Toronto, was instrumental<br />
in obtaining the charter. Noble Collins late<br />
became Imperial Potentate. The name “<strong>Mocha</strong>” was<br />
chosen by the first Recorder Noble Ed Struthers.<br />
The Shrine was seen as an organization where members<br />
could relax and enjoy themselves. Shrine bands,<br />
parades and elaborate costumes were part of the make<br />
up. It was said that “the order was not much more than<br />
a frolic for Masons of high degree”, and perhaps this<br />
stimulated interest among Masons enough to steadily<br />
increase the membership figures.<br />
What was not so visible was that even in those years<br />
considerable sums were raised for benevolence and<br />
charitable projects. At one ceremonial a Union Jack<br />
was carried around the hall and after the initial donation<br />
of $500 a further amount of $466.60 was raised for<br />
poor children of the city of London. This is much more<br />
than it seems now when we think of what a dollar<br />
would buy in those days. On another occasion the<br />
Salvation Army, the schools and other organizations<br />
supplied the names of 600 children who were in poor<br />
circumstance and they were all supplies with Christmas<br />
repast. 1917 saw a contribution to the fund for victims<br />
of the Halifax explosion. In 1930 the bands and patrol<br />
entertained the children from orphanages at the Western<br />
Fair. A patriotic endeavor was the subscription of $500<br />
for the Peace Memorial at the Exhibition forces and<br />
war charities were supported. In the year of 1940<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> presented a $1,600 Ford ambulance to the<br />
Minister of Militia. The children were not forgotten and<br />
<strong>Shriners</strong> have provided transportation, entertainment,<br />
films and other amusements for their enjoyment. Since<br />
1920, <strong>Mocha</strong>’s main charity has been the <strong>Shriners</strong>’<br />
Hospitals for Children and many hundreds of thousands<br />
of dollars have been raised for this worthy undertaking.<br />
Shrine activities continued to flourish through the<br />
years. In order to provide a place for meetings and<br />
other functions one of the stately old homes on Waterloo<br />
Street in London was purchased. In 1955 this building<br />
was sold for $38,000 and the Smallman residence at<br />
468 Colborne Street was purchased for $35,000 with an<br />
additional $847 for some of the contents. Additions<br />
have been made, but the architectural beauty of the<br />
original building has been maintained. The Trustees<br />
work hard to maintain the grounds, rooms and furnishings.<br />
In 1977, the banquet halls were added on for<br />
meetings and social functions. In the recent past the<br />
interior and exterior of the building has been refurbished<br />
and redecorated completely with new furniture<br />
in the main lounge area. <strong>Mocha</strong> Temple is a place<br />
where any Shriner would be proud to bring his family<br />
and friends for lunch or dinner.<br />

<strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for Children Presents ‘A Tale of Two Patients’<br />
Thursday, July 7, 2011<br />
(DENVER) <strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for Children® patients Alissa Perkins, 2, of Las<br />
Vegas and Kate Hickman, 13, of Houston have been selected as the health<br />
care system’s patient ambassadors for 2011-2012. As patient ambassadors,<br />
Alissa and Kate represent the thousands of children <strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals<br />
for Children care for every year. Their stories are featured in the <strong>Shriners</strong><br />
Hospitals for Children patient success video “A Tale of Two Patients,” which<br />
premiered on Wednesday, July 6, at the 2011 Imperial Session of <strong>Shriners</strong><br />
International – the annual international <strong>Shriners</strong> meeting – in Denver. The<br />
families visited each other’s hospital to learn more about their journeys and<br />
see first-hand the different services the health care system offers. The video<br />
was directed by Christopher Coppola.<br />
When Alissa Perkins was born, doctors diagnosed her with fibular<br />
hemimelia, a shortening or absence of one of the two bones in the calf,<br />
which may require amputation or bone-lengthening procedures. After<br />
Alissa’s great-grandmother suggested the family consider consulting<br />
<strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for Children, they attended the Justin Timberlake <strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas.<br />
At the event, Alissa’s mother spoke with former patient Katie Walker who had been diagnosed with a similar condition<br />
as Alissa. Katie was more than happy to share her phenomenal experiences at <strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for Children, including<br />
the expert care, physical therapy and customized prosthetics provided by the hospital. Alissa ultimately had her left leg<br />
amputated and a follow-up surgery performed last year at <strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for Children – Los Angeles. She received<br />
her first prosthesis right before her first birthday in July and was walking a month later.<br />
Five years ago, Kate Hickman, then 8, sustained second and third degree burns on 45 percent of her body when a candle<br />
flame ignited the hem of her dress.<br />
Kate’s father rushed her to a local hospital in Houston, but the emergency room staff there did not feel able to give Kate<br />
all the care she needed, so they referred her to <strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for Children – Galveston, a hospital noted for expertise<br />
in pediatric burn care. Kate underwent multiple skin grafts and reconstructive surgeries to improve her condition.<br />
She also received extensive physical therapy and was able to regain full range of motion. Today, Kate, 13, is an energetic<br />
student who enjoys singing, acting, participating in sports and spending time with her family and friends. She was<br />
named the October 2009 “Memorial Buzz Kid,” an honor given to outstanding youths in the Houston area.<br />
Following the premiere of the video in Denver, Kate’s older sister, Abbey, 19, serenaded Kate, Alissa and the crowd with<br />
a beautiful song. Both families were received by members of the Board of Directors and Board of Trustees of <strong>Shriners</strong><br />
Hospitals for Children.<br />
“The patient success video is the highlight of our weeklong convention and it effectively reinforces the fraternity’s<br />
support of the mission of <strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for Children: Changing the World through Caring for Kids,” said Michael<br />
Severe, Imperial Potentate-elect of <strong>Shriners</strong> International.<br />
About <strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for Children<br />

Omar Temple 111<br />
Daughters of the Nile<br />
by P.Q. Audrey J. Stubbs<br />
Message from Queen Lucy Hesse<br />
Twenty-nine members of Daughters of the Nile and four Nobles have arrived home from<br />
Tampa, FL from our 95th annual Supreme Session. The weather was extremely hot-110F<br />
plus humidity, so all were thankful for air conditioning. The business sessions breezed by<br />
with two mentionable moments. This year the <strong>Shriners</strong> will treat their one millionth patient. What an<br />
accomplishment! Also, the Daughters of the Nile have given over forty-seven million dollars for the <strong>Shriners</strong><br />
Treasured children. The highlight of the week was Thursday night installation. Supreme Queen Laura<br />
Richardson entered the arena as Queen of the Nile, in full regalia, reclining on a white chaise lounge, on a<br />
treasure ship manned by many slaves. Quite an<br />
entrance. After removing her garb, she was dressed in a<br />
long, flowing, dark green gown. All her reigning queens<br />
were dressed in either blue or green. I wish to thank all<br />
members of Omar who attended for looking out for me<br />
and helping me in any way. It truly was appreciated. This<br />
was a week I will never forget!<br />

WHAT IS A “FREE” MASON?<br />
Throughout history there have been many explanations as to how the term, “ Free”, came to be<br />
applied to Masonry.<br />
Operative Masons of the past were frequently “Free” of local taxes, and in some cases were “Free” of<br />
local laws. Their actions were not restricted as were those of others. They were “Free” to travel, from<br />
country to country in pursuit of work for their trade. Years back Masons who labored on King<br />
Solomon’s temple, enjoyed special privileges, and were “Free” from laws which others had to obey.<br />
But what does the term “Free” mean to the modern<br />
Mason?<br />
TO SOME IT MEANS...<br />
“Free” from attending Lodge.<br />
“Free” from visiting the sick and those<br />
stuckin Nursing Homes.<br />
“Free” from obligations.<br />
“Free” from giving aid to Officers<br />
in the Lodge.<br />
“Free” from taking part in any<br />
Ritual work.<br />
“Free” from any responsibility.<br />
“Free” from criticism.<br />
Let’s strive to be one of the Masons who don’t wait for<br />
“Free” time to attend Lodge, and who doesn’t believe<br />
that “Free” Masonry is actually “Free”.<br />
We are of course ‘Free” to do as we wish about these<br />
things, but no one can be a Freemason in the fullest<br />
sense, unless he buys into the theory, that we must<br />
support Freemasonry with all of our energy, and the full<br />
use of the faculties with which we have been blessed.<br />
