It is amazing<br />
how quickly<br />
three months<br />
have gone, as<br />
we are now at<br />
mid April. It has<br />
been a long<br />
winter and it is<br />
good to see the<br />
snow finally gone.<br />
Things are alive and well at <strong>Mocha</strong><br />
<strong>Shriners</strong>. At the time of writing,<br />
we have had twelve installations<br />
since January 14, 2011 with more<br />
coming, as well as some official<br />
visits. I am pleased to see some of<br />
the Clubs and Units starting to<br />
consider combining some of these<br />
visits, as per my request and that is<br />
certainly much appreciated.<br />
The busy Spring and Summer<br />
schedule is about to start. We have<br />
the <strong>Mocha</strong> Ball on <strong>May</strong> 7th/11 at<br />
the Best Western Lamplighter Inn at<br />
591 Wellington Road south in<br />
London. It is not too late to get<br />
tickets, if you have not seen the ad<br />
until now. It will be an evening of<br />
great friendship, food and dancing.<br />
The Spring Ceremonial is <strong>May</strong> 27<br />
and 28th, so see if you can convince<br />
some of your fellow Master Masons<br />
to please consider joining our great<br />
Philanthropy. We must increase our<br />
numbers soon, or we are going to<br />
become extinct. That is not a nice<br />
thought, but it is reality. We now<br />
have approximately 35 applications<br />
in, but let’s increase that to 100 and<br />
get that Bruce Shrine commitment<br />
of $1000 per new member for<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> and the Shrine Hospital<br />
System.<br />
Potentate’s Report<br />
The summer will bring B.B.Q.’s<br />
golf tournaments and other fun<br />
filled events for the Nobility and<br />
their ladies and friends.<br />
Nobles Harry Hewbank and<br />
Chris Bradley are working on<br />
membership-- new members and<br />
restoration of members, who have<br />
taken a demit or been suspended for<br />
some reason.<br />
Noble John Davidson, as Promotions<br />
Co-ordinator is selling business<br />
cards ads. This is a new concept for<br />
ads at $113.00 each for your<br />
business card. This cost will get<br />
your business card into four issues<br />
of <strong>Mocha</strong> News and will assist in<br />
paying for the cost of producing this<br />
great magazine. We have another<br />
committee getting better prices<br />
on publishing the magazine and<br />
returning to our usual good quality.<br />
Nobles Michael Farr and Rick<br />
McLeod are doing great promotions<br />
on Donor Relations. They have a<br />
lofty goal for this project and if<br />
your club or unit has not yet heard<br />
their presentation, you should give<br />
them a call and hear about the<br />
information.<br />
We are starting to make progress on<br />
the plans to redecorate and<br />
refurbish the upper banquet room.<br />
Noble Barry O’Brien is chairing a<br />
committee to move forward with<br />
this project.<br />
Hope to see as many of you as can<br />
attend, the <strong>Mocha</strong> Ball and Spring<br />
Ceremonial.<br />
Yours In The Faith,<br />

Recorder’s Corner<br />
by Jeff Brown<br />
Gosh, here we go charging into a new year<br />
with so many items to deal with. Our new<br />
Potentate, Illustrious Sir Jack Cumming has<br />
his hand firmly on the tiller and is leading<br />
his new Divan through the challenges we<br />
face. One of our issues this year is the<br />
refurbishing of our upper banquet hall at<br />
the Temple. It has been many years since<br />
a major change has taken place in the hall and many are<br />
beginning to realize it looks very “tired”.<br />
Noble Barry O’Brien has stepped up to be the Committee<br />
chairman for reviewing the whole project and will be looking at<br />
all facets of the project from top to bottom. He is getting bids and<br />
estimates and, with his committee, he will be developing a plan<br />
to present to the Board of Directors for consideration. Ultimately<br />
the Board will be bringing the plan to the membership for<br />
approval. However, the costs for such a plan will need the<br />
financial support of the Clubs & Units. More on that later.<br />
Illustrious Sir Bob Henry and his committee on Long Range<br />
Planning from 2010 has presented their report to the Divan late<br />
last year and has now presented a modified version at the recent<br />
Information Day seminar at <strong>Mocha</strong> on April 2nd. The report was<br />
well received and the Divan has been acting prudently on many<br />
concerns brought forward in the context of that report. Gratitude<br />
is extended to Ill. Sir Bob Henry and his committee for their hard<br />
work and diligence.<br />
Speaking about the Information Day on April 2nd, although<br />
numbers of attendees were a little lower than expected, I believe<br />
they found the day to be enlightening. Many speakers and loads<br />
of information were presented and a good interactive session<br />
Chaplain’s Chat<br />
Nobles: We are living in interesting<br />
times. We are living in times of extreme<br />
change. How exciting that can be if we<br />
choose. How debilitating that can be if<br />
we choose to live in the past. It was<br />
reported to me that at this year's<br />
installation our Potentate's grand<br />
daughter said she would like to be a<br />
Shriner like her grandfather and her<br />
uncles. We live in interesting times. As<br />
<strong>Shriners</strong> we profess to be people of faith putting ourselves at<br />
God's disposal to be led into doing the good works that God<br />
would have us do on this earth. We are also just into the second<br />
decade of the 21st Century and it is time to remember that we<br />
are joint citizens of the Kingdom of God(a Spiritual Kingdom)<br />
and of this good land of Canada. It is time to rededicate<br />
ourselves to both of these citizenship's.<br />
As members of the Kingdom of God make sure that your faith<br />
is firmly fixed on God and His will for you, rather than on your<br />
own self-will and determination to have things our way rather<br />
than God's way. As citizens of Canada remember that if you<br />
seemed to highlight the day. Remember that Information Day is<br />
an annual seminar for you, as members of <strong>Mocha</strong> and our Clubs<br />
& Units. Plan on attending every year. We try to vary the<br />
information presented and give you updates on current issues so<br />
it is never a waste of your time to attend.<br />
Membership issues are still haunting us as we suffered a number<br />
of visits from the Black Camel recently and our numbers keep<br />
falling. We need you to refocus on those Masons that you<br />
know would make good <strong>Shriners</strong>. Our Membership Committee,<br />
Nobles Harry Hewbank, Chris Bradley and Shayne Eldridge are<br />
working hard to promote membership, can you support them? Do<br />
you have an application form in your fez case? Do you have one<br />
in your Masonic apron case? Are you talking to those Masons<br />
you know that could be interested in joining us in the “World’s<br />
Greatest Philanthropy”? Look around you, and don’t be hesitant to<br />
mention membership to them.<br />
Our horizon is now set on the upcoming Spring Ceremonial in<br />
Southampton & Port Elgin on <strong>May</strong> 27 & 28. We have a good class<br />
of candidates and are still looking for more! We initiated three<br />
Nobles through a short form Ceremony at the Bruce Shrine Club<br />
Official Visit on April 11th because they will be unable to attend<br />
the Spring Ceremonial so we are off to a good start.<br />
The Imperial Session is in Denver this year and your Divan will be<br />
travelling there to participate in the seminars and business<br />
sessions. Imperial Sir George Mitchell is winding down his year as<br />
Imperial Potentate and we did “Let George Do It” after all. Denver,<br />
of course is the home area for Imperial Sir Michael Severe, Deputy<br />
Imperial Potentate and he will of course be anticipating his<br />
election at that session.<br />
Remember, “UNITY WINS”<br />
and the Potentate’s Slogan;<br />
“LET’S ALL PULL TOGETHER”<br />
are doing God's will, it is likely to be of benefit to your family,<br />
neighbors and the whole country.<br />
We hold joint memberships in <strong>Mocha</strong> (our primary<br />
membership) and in clubs and/or units to which we may<br />
belong. "Mother <strong>Mocha</strong>" requires as much attention as our<br />
clubs and/ units. A strong joint membership will benefit both.<br />
I was reminded of the 'refurbishment committee' (for our<br />
building) recently one Sunday when I attended St. Luke's<br />
Church, Broughdale/London, with my mother. Also in<br />
attendance was Noble Charles Ross who acted as the lawyer<br />
for <strong>Mocha</strong> when the new banquet facility was added. I mention<br />
this as a remembrance of the fact that the banquet facility was<br />
added some time ago and probably needs up-dating. Let us<br />
rededicate ourselves to looking after our present membership<br />
and building for it is in having a strong <strong>Mocha</strong> membership<br />
that others will become interested in joining us for fellowship<br />
and working for Shrine Children.<br />
In these interesting times of rapid change remember that it is<br />
only God who does not change. Yet God requires us to change<br />
as we are continually called to new ministries in God's<br />
service.<br />
To God be the Glory<br />

I may be alone in my thoughts here, but I am darn well<br />
ready for the weather to warm up, there is Motorcycle<br />
riding to be done, outside chores, to be considered, and<br />
all kinds of stuff that has nothing to do with cold or wet<br />
weather.<br />
As you will see we have gone back to the glossy format<br />
for the <strong>Mocha</strong> News, which to me has more eye appeal<br />
than the last issue. I don't want to get in to the politics<br />
of it all, and it mainly boils down to costs. I am all for<br />
cutting spending, and am hopeful that through more<br />
advertising, and donations from Clubs and Units we<br />
may be able to keep this format.<br />
In reality there are many Shrine Temples who do have<br />
the same format as our last issue, so I guess we do<br />
what we can do, with what we have at our disposal.<br />
Hopefully you've got a couple of candidates lined up for<br />
the Spring Ceremonial, please come pout and support<br />
the new candidates, and the hard workers of Bruce<br />
Shrine Club, who have put a lot of time and effort into<br />
this Ceremonial.<br />
Happy reading Dennis<br />

SPECIAL<br />
ANNOUNCEMENT<br />
As Directed by the Potentate of <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong>,<br />
Noble Barry O’Brien has been assigned the<br />
Chairman of a Committee to undertake the<br />
preparation of cost estimates for the renovation of<br />
the Upper Banquet Hall at <strong>Mocha</strong> Temple.<br />
As was heard at the Stated Meeting of March 9th,<br />
the membership present felt that it was best to obtain<br />
a total price package and know how much work was<br />
needed to bring the hall up to date instead of doing<br />
it a piece at a time. There was a consensus among<br />
the members that the hall needed a lot of work to<br />
bring it up to date and to redecorate. Ceiling, walls,<br />
lighting, decorating and sound system, including<br />
wireless microphones, etc. are all included in the<br />
project for review.<br />
To this end, Noble Barry O’Brien has taken on<br />
the challenge to oversee that every facet of the<br />
renovation project is examined and that bids and<br />
estimates of the necessary work are obtained, then<br />
presenting a fi nal package to your Board of Directors<br />
at his earliest opportunity. The Board of Directors will<br />
then present the fi ndings to the membership at the next<br />
available scheduled Stated Meeting for consideration by<br />
the membership.<br />
It has been suggested that once the total cost of the<br />
work is known, that the Clubs & Units be canvassed<br />
for support. As you may not know, <strong>Mocha</strong> has no<br />
budget for these types of renovations. <strong>Mocha</strong> also<br />
has no offi cial fund raising projects of its own because<br />
it has always relied on the Clubs & Units of <strong>Mocha</strong><br />
to support its needs. A challenge has been issued by<br />
the Norfolk Shrine Club, which appeared in the last<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> News, to have every Club & Unit in<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> match or exceed their donation towards the<br />
renovation project. It is recommended that any Club<br />
or Unit wishing to support this project make your<br />
donations payable to <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong> and mark on<br />
the Re: line “Upper Hall Renovation Project” These<br />
special donations will be kept in escrow expressly for<br />
this project.<br />
No monies will be spent on the renovations until the<br />
membership has been appraised of the details and voted<br />
on accepting the plan at an upcoming Stated Meeting.<br />
Fraternally, <strong>Mocha</strong>’s Board of Directors<br />
MOCHA NEWS
Membership Committee - <strong>Mocha</strong> News<br />
Noble Shayne Eldridge<br />
If you don’t already know that our<br />
membership numbers continue to<br />
decline and that the number of<br />
new members each year is<br />
surpassed by those taken by the<br />
Black Camel, then you need to get<br />
out to more Stated Meetings and read the <strong>Mocha</strong><br />
News.<br />
The fact is, this is what is occurring and we - meaning<br />
you, I and every Noble in <strong>Mocha</strong> need to be<br />
concerned and be an active part in turning this<br />
around. I know it can be done as there are lodges and<br />
other Masonic bodies that regularly bring in a good<br />
number of new members each year. I cannot think of<br />
any reason why we<br />
cannot do so.<br />
Along with bringing in<br />
new members, we also<br />
need to keep the Nobles<br />
we have. There are many<br />
reasons why Nobles lose<br />
interest in their Shrine.<br />
We need to uncover these<br />
reasons and do what we can do to ‘fix’ the problem.<br />
The Shrine has provided me and my wife, with a very<br />
enriching experience. We have had lots of fun and made<br />
many new friends. I know that this is the same for many<br />
of you. We need to ensure that each and every Noble<br />
(new or of long-standing) and his wife/family have the<br />
same experience. By doing so, being a member of<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> will be something every one will want to be a<br />
part of.<br />
The intent of ‘Membership Corner’ will not be to dwell<br />
on the sad numbers of declining membership - it is what<br />
it is. It will be a positive focus on what we can do about<br />
it. In each <strong>Mocha</strong> News and soon on our website, you<br />
will get an update on what your Membership Committee<br />
is doing and to give you some ideas to help you help<br />
your Shrine.<br />
Yes, your Shrine. <strong>Mocha</strong> belongs to each and<br />
everyone of us and we each bear a duty and<br />
responsibility in ensuring it’s future. Remember who<br />
we do this for - the kids. Let’s keep this future alive.<br />

Progress Report #9 - <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong><br />
April 2011<br />
Background<br />
• In December, 2007, the <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong> committed to donating $1 million to Children’s Health Foundation by 2011 to<br />
establish the <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong> Paediatric Orthopaedic Telemedicine Service.<br />
• Through commitment, dedication and numerous fundraising efforts, the <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong> achieved that goal in 2 ½<br />
years – an incredible accomplishment!<br />
• The network officially went ‘live’ in 2010.<br />
• Based at Children’s Hospital with audio video connections to Windsor, Chatham and Kitchener/Waterloo, telemedicine<br />
technology uses specialized video cameras and monitors to allow doctors at Children’s to assess and monitor<br />
treatments long distance in real time.<br />
• The special London <strong>Mocha</strong> <strong>Shriners</strong> Paediatric Orthopaedic Telemedicine Centre will be named in their honour and<br />
will move from its temporary location at London Health Sciences Centre into the New Children’s Hospital when it<br />
officially opens in September of 2011.<br />
Project Support Update<br />
• At the end of October last year, Tricia Potter fulfilled her role as the Project Manager for MSPOTS.<br />

Alain and Garrett, from Roommates to Friends<br />
This fall, when 18 year-old Alain<br />
walked into his hospital room, the same<br />
room he has had every stay at Shriner<br />
Hospitals for Children® - Canada since he<br />
was two, he was quite surprised to see a young<br />
boy bunking in his bed. Alain was used to<br />
having the same bed, in the same room, ever<br />
since he could remember. Much to his surprise,<br />
on the morning of October 13th, 10 year-old<br />
Garrett became his roommate.<br />
The two boys thought that they had<br />
little in common; Alain lives in Thetford<br />
Mines (Quebec) and Garrett in Regina<br />
(Saskatchewan), they have very different<br />
tastes in music, not to mention the age<br />
difference. "But then, I got to know him"<br />
says Alain. What broke the ice for the boys<br />
was the the Ilizarov external fixator; Alain<br />
underwent a lengthening with one years<br />
before and noticed Garrett's. They struck up a<br />
conversation and found that they had so many<br />
experiences and stories to share about procedures,<br />
medication and recovery. They came to<br />
realize that they had much more in common than<br />
they initially thought. They found in each other<br />
a friend that they could relate to and so did their<br />
families.<br />
For the first time, Garrett's mother Shara felt<br />
comfortable opening up to another mother who<br />

<strong>Mocha</strong> Love Bugs<br />
Gentlemen, start your engines. How<br />
many times have we heard that phrase?<br />
Nobles of the Love Bugs will be<br />
starting their engines after storing<br />
their bugs for the winter and are now<br />
getting ready for the upcoming parade<br />
season. Parades booked so far for<br />
this year: Woodstock - <strong>May</strong> 23,<br />
Thamesford - <strong>May</strong> 23, Spring<br />
Ceremonial - <strong>May</strong> 28, Thamesville -<br />
June 24, Komoka - July 1, Chatham -<br />
July 1.<br />
had dealt with the same experiences as her family,<br />
Nathalie, Alain's mother, was happy to share<br />
her insight about what to expect in the coming<br />
years and how to anticipate the journey that lies<br />
ahead for their family.<br />
Shara was so grateful for Alain's advice to<br />
her son "Sometimes it can be hard, but in<br />
the end, it's all worth it!" he told Garrett.<br />
"My son finally has someone that he can<br />
relate to and look up to" said Shara; she even<br />
compared their relationship to a "big brother<br />
helping out with his little brother".<br />
The boys will keep in touch by phone<br />
and hope to see each other soon. Their<br />
mothers also plan to do the same.<br />
Nathalie has even offered Shara<br />
"advice or just someone to talk to when<br />
things are tough, advice from one mother<br />
to another" and a place to visit next time<br />
they come to the <strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for<br />
Children® - Canada.<br />
Alain was born with a leg length discrepancy. He learned to walk with one foot flat<br />
and the other on his toes. Also, one of his feet is much wider than the other so he<br />
cannot wear regular shoes or ice skates. Now, Alain is finishing high school while<br />
working part-time.<br />
Garrett has arthogryposis; his latest surgery required an entire summer of treatment<br />
as an outpatient at the hospital. The fifth grader has always been quite active;<br />
he plays wheelchair basketball and tennis and is an avid swimmer.<br />
We welcome our newest Love Bug<br />
member - Kenneth Cunningham.<br />
Regular monthly breakfast<br />
meetings are held on the first<br />
Saturday of every month at the New<br />

Legion of Honour<br />
The <strong>Mocha</strong> Legion of Honour will again lead the way<br />
at the Spring Ceremonial in Port Elgin. The members<br />
of the colour party are continuously working on their<br />
conditioning to be able to display the excellence that they<br />
have exhibited in the past. The same illustrious group<br />
will perform at the Potentate’s Ball.<br />
The recent difficulties that resulted from the<br />
Commander’s inability to complete his duties, have been<br />
overcome, Past Commander Harold Phillips has taken<br />
the reins and the unit is once again functioning well. The<br />
2nd Lt. Commander’s position has been filled by the<br />
election and installation of Past Great Lakes Commander<br />
Keith Roden, to that position. The unit extends heartfelt<br />
thanks to both these fine gentlemen for their dedication<br />
and devotion to the unit.<br />
I recently had the opportunity to attend the Shrine Bowl<br />
football game in Orlando, Fl. Commander Mike Pittman<br />
and Past Commander Tracy Coughlin of Bahia Legion of<br />
Honour, met us at the Stadium and we were given passes<br />
that allowed us to go anywhere anytime. We were<br />
introduced to the Potentate, the LOH members and their<br />
ladies and treated to a wonderful lunch. We met some of<br />
the players and went on the field to practice the opening<br />
ceremonies. (I have included a photo with Imperial Sir<br />
George Mitchell, Mike Pittman (white shirt), ROTC<br />
student with Canadian flag and myself with Canadian<br />
flag (back to camera) during the opening ceremonies).<br />
The ceremony included LOH from Florida, Georgia, the<br />
Carolinas and Canada. The members of Bahia LOH<br />
extend an invitation to all to come to their dinner/dance<br />
meetings on the 3rd Fri. of most months at the Orlando<br />
Shrine Centre, 2300 Pembrook Dr., Orlando, FL 32810.<br />
They also invite all to attend next year and hope to fill<br />
the field with LOH flags. The ROTC students held a flag<br />
for each of the States, a large U.S. flag carried by 12<br />
students and the U.S. Marines supplied a drill team. This<br />
is an experience I will always remember.<br />
A group of unit members accompanied the GLSA-LOH<br />
Commander, our own, John (Popeye) Smith to the<br />
International Assoc. Legion of Honour convention in<br />
Branson, Missouri and all attest to having a wonderful<br />
time. The photo attached photo was taken at the Necrology<br />
Service (from the left are GLSA-LOH 2nd Lt Commander<br />
Roy Combs, GLSA-LOH Commander John (Popeye)<br />
Smith, GLSA-LOH 1st Lt Commander Ken Morey and<br />
Phoenix, an eagle from Dickerson Park Zoo).<br />
The annual Frankenmuth, Mich. trip is scheduled for<br />
17-18/Jun/2011; contact any of the executive for details.<br />
We will be in need of all of the finely tuned bodies we<br />
can get for the circus on 23/Jun/2011 at Western Fair<br />
Agriplex (2 shows). I hope you all have a wonderful<br />
summer and are able to give me some interesting<br />
material for the next edition.<br />
If you are a Shriner or know a Shriner with military<br />
experience, regular or reserve, we’ d be happy to meet<br />
you and introduce you to a group of wonderful<br />
comrades.<br />

<strong>Mocha</strong> Arab Patrol must make a heartfelt decision<br />
The <strong>Mocha</strong> Arab Patrol, one of the oldest units in<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> has a long and proud past. The third floor of<br />
<strong>Mocha</strong> Headquarters is adorned with a number of<br />
pictures showing many proud Shriner's in uniforms and<br />
topped off with Fezzes. The unit conducted precision<br />
marching drills, and carried flags, marching to the<br />
beat of their drummers. The numbers swelled after<br />
each war, with many masons, veterans of the wars, using<br />
a skill they were taught in perilous times.<br />
As the age of the units members grew, less and less of the<br />
Nobles were able to 'hit the street'. Slowly the numbers<br />
have dropped and despite a recent attempt to bolster the<br />
numbers it has become clear that the time has come to<br />
make some decision as to the future of the unit, and to<br />
determine the best course of action for the future. When<br />
it became apparent that a new uniform would cost nearly<br />
a thousand dollars, and that the other street units had<br />
Colin McLachlin (on L) and Jim Welsh (on R)<br />
picked up the slack, the executive have<br />
decided that there should be a meeting at<br />
which a motion will be brought forward.<br />
That motion will entail wrapping up the unit,<br />
disposing of the assets, and discharging the executive<br />
from their responsibilities.<br />
On <strong>May</strong> the 12th, at 7:30 p.m. there will be a meeting<br />
for all who were former members of the Arab Patrol,<br />
to hear a motion, discuss the motion, and to approve<br />
or amend the motion in accordance with the wishes of<br />
those present. It will be held at <strong>Mocha</strong> Shrine Centre<br />
in the Board room.<br />
Fraternally,<br />

Roadrunner Unit<br />
The Roadrunners have just completed their late winter<br />
meeting and they are presently preparing for their spring<br />
parades. Noble Ron McNicol, the unit’s parade<br />
chairman, has presented all Nobles with their dates for<br />
the spring, which includes our trip to Port Elgin in <strong>May</strong><br />
for the Spring Ceremonial weekend. When the weather<br />
improves, our small cars will be cleaned and tuned up<br />
ready for this years’ parade program.<br />
This past February, two Roadrunners, Noble Ron McNicol<br />
and Noble John Parker and their wives had the privilege<br />
to travel with the Moslem Shrine from Detroit on a trip<br />
to Hawaii; the colourful islands of sun and warmth. It<br />
was superbly organized and all the events and feztivites<br />
were excellently planned which included a wonderful<br />
tour conducted by the Aloha Shrine of Honolulu’s Shrine<br />
Hospital. This was a visit all Shrine members would<br />
enjoy and always remember. We would like to thank our<br />
new friends in the Moslem Shrine for a fabulous two<br />
weeks in Hawaii.<br />
Our Roadrunner Unit contains many nobles from<br />
different <strong>Mocha</strong> locations. We have five Nobles who<br />
reside in the Town of St. Marys. One Noble is Ron<br />
McKnight who lives with his wife Karen in St. Marys.<br />
Noble Ron became a Master Mason in 1984 and he is<br />
presently the secretary in St. James Lodge #73. He was<br />
installed as a member of the Shrine in 1991 and by 1999<br />
he was an active member with the Roadrunners. Noble<br />
Ron has shown that he is a model leader which made him<br />
the perfect choice for Hospitality Chairman of the<br />
Roadrunner Unit. He can be observed in our several<br />
parades driving his blue tow truck (see picture). The<br />
Unit has had occasions to employ avoidance tactics<br />
when certain trucks are doing their own manoeuvres.<br />
In the Stratford on Avon Shrine, Noble Ron served as<br />
President in 1991 and he is presently on the committee<br />
for Sick Children.<br />
He and his wife Karen have two children and four<br />
grandchildren. Their daughter, Shannon, lives in St.<br />
Marys with her son and daughter and their son Trevor,<br />
who is an Air Traffic Controller, lives with his wife and<br />
two sons in Yellowknife, NWT.<br />
For 40 years Noble Ron was employed in St. Marys at<br />
Norampac as a General Foreman. While at work Noble<br />
Ron had the nickname of “Durst” and no one seems to<br />
know why. Perhaps when asked he can tell you why. He<br />
remembers that his work and time was taken up, quite<br />
often, by Noble Ron McNicol who needed special<br />
attention to stay on task.<br />
UNIT NEWS<br />
In his spare time Noble Ron likes to golf at least twice a<br />
week and he supports a low handicap. He enjoys<br />
attending our several parades and entertaining the local<br />
supporters. He has always followed hockey and he has<br />
been involved with St. Marys Minor Hockey and he<br />
served ten years as a director with the Intermediate<br />
Stonetown Flyers.<br />
If you have ever visited St. Marys during the Christmas<br />
season a must spectacle to be observed is at the Milt<br />
Dunnell Field, known as the “flats”. In this location<br />
you will see several Christmas light displays in various<br />
shapes as well as trains, dinosaurs, dragons and many<br />
others. These constructions are the work of Noble Ron<br />
McKnight and have been created for the enjoyment of<br />
all visitors to the “flats” during the Christmas Season.<br />
Noble Ron claims that over several years much of his<br />
time has been spent as the “Keeper” for Nobles Leon<br />
Roth and Ron McNicol and it has been a very arduous<br />
task taking care of these two. Ron certainly enjoys his<br />
opportunity to travel and he has visited various locations.<br />
If you have an opportunity to chat with him ask him<br />
about his passport dilemma when he was at the Toronto<br />
Airport on route to Hawaii. This will put a smile on your<br />
face.<br />
Remember that the <strong>Mocha</strong> Roadrunners are always<br />
pleased to discuss our vehicles with you and to<br />
participate in your feztivities. Feel free to call Noble<br />
Ron McNicol, parade chairman, to book our Roadrunner<br />
Unit.<br />

Bruce Shrine Club<br />
The Bruce Shrine Club met for its annual installation<br />
and Ladies night in Chesley.<br />
Although the weather outside was cold, warm fellowship<br />
was the order of the evening at the Installation.<br />
This installation was proven to be an extra special<br />
one for the Bruce Shrine Club, as Potentate Jack<br />
Cumming and the Divan helped to install his son,<br />
Scott Cumming as the new President of the Bruce<br />
Shrine Club.<br />
The event was catered by his son Ian and Jack's wife<br />
Helen, and both Scott's and Ian's wives also attended,<br />
so it was a family affair all around!<br />
Food, Fun and Fellowship, all courtesy of the<br />
Cumming family!<br />
During the evening, we had the honor of installing<br />
three new <strong>Shriners</strong>, Bruce McLean (Ken McLean’s<br />
son), Jack Nancekivell and Clarke Pollock, both of<br />
whom are prominent citizens of Kincardine. These<br />
Nobles could not make the Ceremonial on <strong>May</strong> the<br />
twenty seventh and eighth.<br />
After the executive was installed, Scott took the<br />
microphone as elected President and addressed The<br />
Potentate as Potentate "Dad" and Lady "Mom". We<br />
think this may be a first for <strong>Mocha</strong>, and it was well<br />
received by us all, in the spirit and manner in which<br />
it was intended.<br />
Later in the evening, Past President Kevin MacKay<br />
was presented by Divan and club secretary, Frank<br />
Eagleson with the Bruce Shriner of the Year award.<br />
All in all, a wonderful evening was held by all, in<br />
which many pictures were taken.<br />
We include a few of these for the <strong>Mocha</strong> News, to<br />
show the good time held by all at the Bruce Shrine<br />
Club<br />
I finish by quoting Past president Kevin MacKay's<br />
poem to us all:<br />
I'm proud to be a Shriner,<br />
I'm proud to wear the plaid<br />
(Yes we all know it’s a tartan!)<br />
I'm proud to help the children,<br />
Who need our help so bad!<br />

Norfolk <strong>Shriners</strong><br />
The Small Group With A BIG Heart<br />
Wednesday March 9th, 2011 was the most recent<br />
designated meeting in London.<br />
The Norfolk <strong>Shriners</strong> [That’s Us!!] fielded 6 bodies. We<br />
had to because most of us are Temple Guards. There was<br />
a grand turn out of about 32 Nobles, as a result after<br />
everyone had their “just do” it was nigh on 10pm before<br />
we adjourned.<br />
It was a lively meeting, well handled by our Potentate<br />
Jack Cumming and his staff.<br />
Many items were “cussed” and diss-“cussed” and again<br />
the topic of the state of the Temple was brought up. We<br />
realize that the area encompassed by <strong>Mocha</strong> is very<br />
large, and that nobles from the more distant areas never<br />
have, and perhaps never will, visit the temple. So we put<br />
these letters into the <strong>Mocha</strong> news to let all nobles know<br />
the situation that now exists.<br />
Yep we need new chairs [I like the green one myself] we<br />
also need new tables.<br />
The ceiling is showing its age, as well as several stains<br />
from the days when smoking was allowed. The carpet is<br />
waving farewell, and the walls still have the original<br />
finish. Add to that all the old incandescent spot /<br />
floodlights. Commonly known as “watt suckers”<br />
[careful how you say that!] and it is very clear that we<br />
need to do something.<br />
Jonnie Mitchell once sang “You don’t know what you’ve<br />
got till it’s gone”<br />
Well she could very well have been singing about the<br />
Temple, Once it’s gone, it’s gone.<br />
We are not about to let that happen, to this end the<br />
Norfolk section has launched a challenge to all other<br />
sections to pitch in and help, very shortly we shall be<br />
doing a mail out to each section highlighting the<br />
condition and needs of our Home Headquarters / office /<br />
ETC.<br />
More than that we are digging deep into our rather<br />
shallow pockets to stump up as much as we can, the<br />
GOOD news is that so far about $900 has been<br />
promised. The VERY good news. It would appear that<br />
the “dune buggy” section have been VERY thrifty [read<br />
CHEEEP] and are preparing to make a substantial<br />
donation.<br />
This is we hope a good kick off to get things rolling,<br />
the next step of course is to keep moving ahead. In the<br />
CLUB NEWS<br />
near future we hope to be able to donate funds from our<br />
various activities and cordially invite you to do the<br />
same.<br />
SO, you ask, “are we <strong>Shriners</strong>, dedicated to helping<br />
children? Or, a catering club?“<br />
Well, we are an organization that at present has a<br />
financial drain, we have to subsidize the Temple, and<br />
the bar, God forbid that should ever close! BUT by<br />
updating our facilities.<br />
[I like the green chair myself]. It should be possible for<br />
the Temple to not only become self sustaining, but<br />
[Hopefully] turn a profit and therefore be able to fund<br />
our main activities. Can this be done? You bet!!. But<br />
only if we all pitch in. [I green chair the like myself]. We<br />
are not asking you to forgo any projects you may have<br />
planned, or in progress, but if you should have a “slush”<br />
fund [as we have] or a petty cash Fund [as we do] or a<br />
miscellaneous cash Fund, money put to one side and not<br />
earmarked for any particular use, we ask that you give<br />
consideration to making a donation to the temple<br />
building Fund.<br />
Our temple secretary is prepared to keep a copy of all<br />
donations / donors to keep us all honest, and see that<br />
credit is given where credit is due. So there you have it.<br />
Thank you for your consideration, and give the<br />
matter some thought.<br />
As usual al garmatical, and spilling mis-steaks are dun<br />
on parpose .<br />
Yours in Shrinedom. Noble Barry Mitton<br />
PS. Noble Wayne Brown likes the black chair, but he<br />
didn’t write this note I did!<br />

The London <strong>Mocha</strong> Temple Oriental Band has honoured Noble Leroy E.<br />
(Lee) Behrns, a Past President of our proud Band and now we mourn<br />
Lee’s passing. A Noble of the London <strong>Mocha</strong> Shrine, a bright light has<br />
been extinguished but will carry on in spirit. Lees loving wife Marion<br />
was also a great supporter of Lee’s love for the Oriental Band and<br />
attended many of our parades. Our condolences are most sincerely given<br />
to his dear wife Marion and family.<br />
We will cherish his memory in our hearts<br />
Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the Nobles of the <strong>Mocha</strong><br />
Oriental Band wish to “Talk to you”<br />
As we continue to greet Nobility everywhere.<br />
Noble David Fickling Apologies and once again<br />
Congratulations on being elected Chief Rabban and<br />
NOT the Oriental Guide as mistakenly recorded in the<br />
last issue of the <strong>Mocha</strong> News. Sorry Dave. Noble Bob<br />
Marshall was elected Oriental Guide and the Band<br />
congratulates Bob as well as all other elected and<br />
appointed to serve our Children and as well our Loyal<br />
and Noble needs.<br />
Noble Dale Hern past Director of the Band has suffered<br />
a set back and is really not well but he insists that he will<br />
soon return to the Band. Dale suffered not one but a few<br />
attacks of the heart and we DO wish him a fast recovery,<br />
he is too good to lose.<br />
Welcome Noble Dan Lampman our newest Bandsman<br />
and already learning the Musette, well done Dan, you<br />
did the right thing and we congratulate you and give you<br />
praise for been so sensible for uniting with our ranks.<br />
Things done and yet to be done: -<br />
The Jigs Dinner enjoyed by all attending on March<br />
14th, was a great success as usual, we owe caterer<br />
Dimitri and staff a compliment that would make a<br />
Shriner proud.<br />
This period is our slack time, time for rehearsals but no<br />
parades, however, a busy time soon lies ahead. The<br />
Oriental Band and the Trumpet Band have been<br />
requested by the Potentate to play at the Potentates<br />
Ball on Saturday, <strong>May</strong> 7th. This request therefore<br />
proves that we are worthy of good entertainment with<br />
our several melodious sounds. Take note you new<br />
Nobles, we are looking for you.<br />
To date, we have a few requests for parades: - <strong>May</strong><br />
7th. Potentates Ball; <strong>May</strong> 23rd. Thamesford<br />
Calithumpian Parade; <strong>May</strong> 28th. Spring Ceremonial,<br />
Port Elgin; June 24th. Thamesville; July 30th. Formosa<br />
Centennial Parade; Sept. 24th. Thorndale.<br />
Tentative - Belmont; Parkhill; London Santa Clause<br />
Parade. There are others not yet confirmed. It’s good to<br />
be busy and active for the sake of our Children and our<br />
pride.<br />
The <strong>Mocha</strong> London Oriental Band is forever in need<br />
of new youngish members. If you are 60 but feel like<br />
40, can walk or blow or do both together, don’t belong<br />
to another Unit or would like a change, then you are for<br />
us. There is no need to have a musical background as<br />
we will teach you to play the kind of music we promote.<br />
We have a great deal of fun, travel with our Ladies and<br />
above all, we delight the public with our entertaining<br />
mode. How about it fellows, we are about 60 strong<br />
but many can no longer walk or blow but still enjoy our<br />
company. Call the President NOW Noble Bill Hurn or<br />
his wife Helen at 519-630-5591.<br />

As a member of the Bruce Shrine Club, who as you are<br />
all well aware are known for the wearing of “Bruce<br />
County Tartan” blazers, which are the signature of<br />
the Bruce Shrine Club, it was very interesting to see<br />
pictures in the last MOCHA News of our friends in the<br />
Sault Shrine Club wearing their plaid blazers. It’s great<br />
to see other clubs with a colorful history and good taste.<br />
Way to go Nobles!!<br />
We are so proud this year to have our very own Ill. Sir<br />
Jack Cumming and Lady Helen as Potentate and First<br />

as Ill. Sir Jack will be installing his son, Noble Scott<br />
Cumming into the position of President of the Bruce<br />
Shrine Club on the 11, April, 2011. This will be an<br />
historical event for our club to have a father son team to<br />
work with for this eventful year. It is great to be a<br />
Shriner and we truly are a family. Also coming up<br />
quickly is the Potentates Ball being held <strong>May</strong>, 7th at<br />

philanthropy now more than ever to spread the word<br />
about the great work we do and all the fun and<br />
fellowship we have doing it.<br />
I have an unknown quote that I would like to share with<br />
you titled:<br />
ANYWAY<br />
People are unreasonable, illogical and self<br />
centered. Love them anyway!<br />
If you do good people will accuse you of<br />
selfish ulterior motives.<br />
Do good anyway!<br />
The good you do today will be<br />
forgotten tomorrow.<br />
Do something good everyday, anyway!<br />
Don’t forget to take part and have fun. As we here in<br />
the Bruce say;<br />
I’m Proud to be a Shriner; I’m Proud to wear the plaid,<br />
I’m Proud to help the Children,<br />
Who need our help so bad.<br />

Join Together to Celebrate...<br />
<strong>Shriners</strong> International Awareness Day<br />
Mark your calendars and start making plans!<br />
<strong>Shriners</strong> International Awareness Day is coming up on June 6, and nobles around the world are<br />
encouraged to participate in this exciting opportunity to celebrate the fraternity and recognize the day the<br />
Imperial Council was founded - June 6, 1876. The Imperial Council is the governing body of <strong>Shriners</strong> International.<br />
On June 6, <strong>Shriners</strong> everywhere are asked to wear their fez, if appropriate, or a hat, shirt, lapel pin or other item<br />
with the fraternal logo to help recognize fellow nobles and increase awareness about <strong>Shriners</strong> International. Many<br />
<strong>Shriners</strong> are also organizing special events at their temples and in their communities.<br />
"The goal of <strong>Shriners</strong> International Awareness Day is for each and every noble to join together for one<br />
purpose - to support our great fraternity," said Imperial Membership Committee Chairman George Mitchell.<br />
"<strong>Shriners</strong> International Awareness Day is an opportunity for us to increase awareness about <strong>Shriners</strong> International while<br />
celebrating the fraternity's impressive achievements over the past 137 years. The first Shrine temple opened in New York<br />
City in 1872."<br />
Here are a few ways nobles can participate in <strong>Shriners</strong> International Awareness Day:<br />
• Wear their fez on <strong>Shriners</strong> International Awareness Day when appropriate<br />
(during an official <strong>Shriners</strong> function).<br />
• Show pride in <strong>Shriners</strong> International by wearing a hat, shirt, lapel pin or<br />
other item with the fraternal logo.<br />
• Organize an event at their temple or in their local community. Invite the<br />
public to participate in the event to increase awareness about the local<br />
temple and <strong>Shriners</strong> International.<br />
• Contact the Temple Recorder or Public Relations Chairman<br />
to order copies of the Shriner Primer. Hand out copies to<br />
neighbors, friends, family members and any one else who<br />
may be interested in learning more about <strong>Shriners</strong><br />
International and <strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for Children.<br />
• Include information about <strong>Shriners</strong> International Awareness Day on the<br />
temple Web site and in the temple calendar, publications and electronic<br />
communications. Announce the date at temple and club meetings. Be<br />
sure that each and every noble knows about <strong>Shriners</strong> International<br />
Awareness Day and encourage them to participate.<br />
• Contact one of the <strong>Shriners</strong> Hospitals for Children to schedule a tour.<br />
Organize a group tour for local nobles, family members or interested<br />
community members.<br />
This international day of recognition every June 6 will continue to be an opportunity<br />
for <strong>Shriners</strong> to share information about the fraternity, its history and the benefits<br />
of becoming part of an organization dedicated to fun, fellowship and philanthropic<br />
support.<br />

<strong>Shriners</strong> in Action<br />
Eric Collis was born with Club Feet,<br />
they were upside down, and pointed<br />
sideways. Local Doctors began treating<br />
Eric with Magic Shoes, that were held<br />
together with an Aluminum Bar.This<br />
involved putting on his "Magic Shoes"<br />
each night, but since his heels weren't<br />
in the right place they kept falling off,<br />
thus after much crying on Eric's part and<br />
frustration on his Parents, it was decided<br />
that these shoes were not the answer.<br />
Norfolk Shrine Club became aware of<br />
Eric's problem, and decided to sponsor<br />
him as an infant, he was taken to Erie<br />
Hospital, and both feet were operated<br />
on. During the course of the next few years, Eric received<br />
Reconstructive Surgery, on both feet and Norfolk Shrine<br />
Club provided transportation, meals, and accommodations.<br />
After a long recovery period he was able to achieve his dream<br />
of playing Hockey, and at age 5, he was enrolled in the Tykes,<br />
Novices, Atoms, and later Pee Wee, with the Simcoe Warriors.<br />
He also played Baseball in Vittoria, and Soccer in Delhi.<br />
Moving on a few years Eric<br />
graduated from Simcoe<br />
Composite School with Honors,<br />
and is hoping to go to Mohawk<br />
College in Sept.<br />
As Eric grew older it became<br />
apparent that both heels were<br />
extended outward, which caused<br />
poor load bearing, and much pain.<br />
He got a job at Zellers as Stock Boy<br />
but his feet and ankles were not<br />
up to the strain<br />
On Jan. 30/11 He was again admitted to Erie, his left leg<br />
had a steel rod inserted in his heel and ankle, and a cast<br />
applied. He has since had the cast changed twice, and the<br />
rod removed. He is currently in walking cast, and well on his<br />
way to recovery.<br />
The Collis Family are most grateful to the Norfolk Shrine Club,<br />
and Erie Hospital for<br />
making it possible for<br />
him to lead a normal<br />
pain free life.<br />
To all a<br />
very big<br />
THANK YOU.<br />
