Pal Mocha Shrine Club
Here's what's going on in Pal Mocha Shrine Club.
As we head into Spring, all is well here in our country,
the new Trailer, and Mini Motor Bikes, attended several
Christmas Parades, and more recently attended the
Paddyfest Parade in Listowel, on St. Patrick's Day
Weekend.
Vidalia Onion Season is just around the corner, as the
column is being composed, and Nobles are reminded to
sell, sell, sell.
It certainly will be a busy Spring for us as our new
Potentate Illustrious Sir Jack Cumming, who hails from
Bruce County will be holding the Spring Ceremonial
in Pt. Elgin. Congratulations Jack, and we know that
you and the new Divan will do a great job. We also
would like to give a tip of the Fez to Pal mocha member
Noble Earl Schneider, the Captain of the Guard.
The election of Officers was held in March, and the
following Nobles were elected,
Pres. Jim Doig, 1st. Vice Pres. Miles Dadson, 2nd. Vice
Brad Richardson, Secretary Murray Donaldson, Treasurer
Gerald Metzger. These Officers will be installed at our
April meeting by the New Potentate and Divan.
Nobles please remember to call, or visit some of our
Nobles who are not able to get out.
Let's go back a few years, with a couple of photos of our
Club taken when Noble Laverne Long was Publisher of
the Palmerston Observer.
