Aylmer Shrine Club
2010 was a very busy year for the Aylmer Shrine Club.
I would like to thank ALL the nobles that invested their
spare time to help the club Fund Raise throughout the
year. Whether it was helping with one of our fish fry’s ,
working at Cruise Nights, selling tickets on one of our
draws or collecting and sorting pop cans your devotion
to the club and the children in need, is greatly appreciated.
I would like to thank Past President (2010) Noble Roy
Pickard on behalf of the nobility for all of his hard work
and efforts that he put into his year as president. There
were a few things that not every president has had to
deal with in their year and the Imperial Session in
Toronto was one that comes to mind. A great time was
had by all and I think any of the Aylmer Nobles that
attended felt it was well worth attending. Then In Elgin
County we had the International Plowing Match which
a lot of Nobles helped with either in the hospitality tent
working for the Mason’s of the St.Thomas District or in
the Grand Lodge Tent. Roy played a big part I helping to
organize man power from the Aylmer Shrine Club to
help with both events. Roy I personally would like to
extend a big “ Thank You” for all your help and organization
in my transition to President of the Aylmer Shrine
Club. I have very big shoes to fill in 2011.
2011 Is shaping up to be another busy year for the
Aylmer Shrine Club. I would like to challenge all Nobles
in Aylmer Shrine Club as well as all other Clubs and
Units of Mocha to except my motto for the upcoming
Shrine Club Oldies
year and that is “Work Hard, Play Hard and Have Some
Fun” And keep in mind why we do it. “FOR THE KIDS”
I am very proud to call myself a “Shriner” and all of you
should be also.
Finally I would like to welcome the new directors that
have joined the 2011 Executive of the Aylmer Shrine
Club. It is nice to see some newer members of the
Shrine get involved. I truly believe that you only get out
of being a “Shriner” what you put into it. Thanks for
coming on board. And remember the most rewarding
thing you can get from being a Shriner is having the kids
you help say “Thank You Shriner”
Fraternally Yours, Noble Jeff Smith
