Hi-Noble<br />

Swashbucklers<br />

Captain Dave Norton<br />

<strong>Khedive</strong>’s youngest unit, the Swashbucklers<br />

finished off the year in grand form <strong>with</strong> our<br />

Christmas Party and Installation of Officers.<br />

With most of our Mariners in full pirate regalia, we<br />

were quite a sight! Illustrious Sir Don Meyer and<br />

Oriental Guide RayRay Teller, both Mariners as<br />

well, performed the duties of Marshall and Installing<br />

Officer, respectively. Ill. Sir Don did a spectacular job<br />

reading the charge, a special one he had prepared for<br />

the occasion. Most of the Divan spent the evening <strong>with</strong><br />

us, as well, and everyone had a grand time. Mariner<br />

Grant Smith, aka “Domingo the Red” led some of us<br />

in a unique version of a familiar song known as, “The<br />

Twelve Days of Sailing”.<br />

Moving on to 2012, we are excited to have a<br />

fundraiser on this year’s calendar! Make plans to<br />

attend the “<strong>Khedive</strong> Swashbucklers 1st Ever Pirate<br />

Pig-Pickin” on Sunday October 7, at <strong>Khedive</strong> Shrine<br />

Center. Weather permitting, this will be an outdoor<br />

event, and we’re not talking about just another<br />

barbecue! We’ll have a whole pig (maybe two!) and<br />

all the fixin’s for the very reasonable price of just<br />

$15.00 per person. We’ll be selling tickets soon, get<br />

yours early! I might mention that we are going to try<br />

Greetings Nobles, <strong>Khedive</strong> Golf<br />

Club would like to commend<br />

Illustrious Donald E. Meyer<br />

for the fantastic job he did last year<br />

as Potentate and thank him and his<br />

Divan for the support and recognition<br />

they rendered to our Golf Club.<br />

We would also like to congratulate<br />

<strong>Khedive</strong>’s 2012 Potentate, Illustrious<br />

Joseph T. Register and his Divan and<br />

wish them success in the upcoming<br />

year. We all look forward to another<br />

fantastic year of Shriner Success and<br />

Fraternal Unity. “Isn’t it great to be<br />

a Shriner” rings strong <strong>with</strong> <strong>Khedive</strong><br />

Golf Club.<br />

Our golf club members and<br />

guests enjoyed last season immensely.<br />

As a new season quickly approaches<br />

we are ready to start anew under the<br />

gifted leadership of our President,<br />

Noble Johnnie Chandler and<br />

Secretary-Treasurer Noble Rod<br />

Rushford. Our Chaplain is Noble T.<br />

Dudley Myers.<br />

Last year our Club enjoyed<br />

playing over 30 golf outings at<br />

fourteen different area golf courses<br />

at a discount rate. We were privileged<br />

to be able to raise and donate $5,000<br />

to the Transportation Unit Fund.<br />

Springtime golf is usually somewhat<br />

rusty <strong>with</strong> many off-center hits but<br />

we always strive to improve all year<br />

long. In doing so we have fun and<br />

fulfillment knowing that the monies<br />

we raise will help young children and<br />

families in their time of need. We<br />

are blessed that we can swing a club<br />

and walk down the fairways. Our golf<br />

handicaps vary widely from low to<br />

high and score is usually secondary to<br />

and support any<br />

unit that might<br />

need help <strong>with</strong><br />

a fund raiser. So if your unit<br />

needs some help let us know.<br />

We have a lot of talent and<br />

experienced in our unit and<br />

we love to share.<br />

We hope to start working on our ship in the near<br />

future. Noble Jody Dudley donated a trailer that will<br />

become the platform to build upon. Past Cap’n Roscoe<br />

has communicated <strong>with</strong> several other Shrine pirate<br />

units and has come up <strong>with</strong> some good plans to work<br />

<strong>with</strong>.<br />

Meanwhile, we’ll be lookin’ to hijack a yacht or a<br />

dinghy for the St. Patricks Day Parade, so keep an eye<br />

out fer us!<br />

<strong>Khedive</strong> Swashbucklers meet on the 3rd Wednesday<br />

of the month, currently at Norton Sandblasting<br />

Equipment 1006 Executive Blvd., Chesapeake,<br />

(hopefully, we’ll have a room in the Temple before too<br />

long!)<br />

Yours in the Faith, Mariner Dave Norton<br />

Captain, Swashbucklers 2012<br />
