Pote’s Notes.....<br />
Hi Nobles!<br />
The circus is coming to town! That’s right! Right here at<br />
our own <strong>Shrine</strong> Auditorium! A huge two ring circus right on<br />
our stage. You have got to see it! April 8th, 9th and 10th. Check out the<br />
times and information on page # 6 in this magazine. It never ceases to<br />
amaze me how so many Nobles can come together for so long a<br />
period of time and do so much work as they do at <strong>Al</strong> <strong>Malaikah</strong><br />
<strong>Circus</strong> time. Maybe it’s all the smiles on the happy faces of the<br />
children they are helping. That’s all I need. You still have time<br />
to become a <strong>Circus</strong> Mommy and Daddy.<br />
Shelley is selling dove pins and flag pins for her<br />
charity project this year. The proceeds will benefit the cleft<br />
lip and palate program at the Los Angeles <strong>Shrine</strong>r’s Hospital<br />
for Children. It is amazing to see the reconstruction work performed on the faces of these<br />
children who through facial bone distortion have problems eating, drinking and sometimes<br />
breathing. Please help make them whole again.<br />
I have had a coin struck to finance a scholarship fund I am starting for Demolay. In<br />
these troubled times and the rising costs of tuition and books a young man needs all of the<br />
help available to get a college education.<br />
Looking forward to May we have the Palm Springs Getaway Ceremonial at the Hilton Hotel,<br />
May 13th – 15th. I have invited El Bekal to join us for this fun weekend. I have added the<br />
Hillbilly Degree and the Palm Springs Follies to the weekend.<br />
May 21st is the First Ladies Luncheon at the Odyssey Restaurant in Mission Hills.<br />
We had a great ceremonial in Oxnard on March 5th . We initiated 20 new nobles<br />
and restored 2 more. Your Ritual Staff did a fantastic job! Stagecraft and Masquers had<br />
everything looking great and the Patrol kept the candidates in line. <strong>Al</strong>most all of the units and<br />
staff were represented; Koppers Clowns, Hosts and Guard. Thanks go to the nobles at the<br />
registration table, to Dr. Gorchynski for making sure all of the novices had a heartbeat and<br />
to Noble Armando Suarez for manning the merchandise table. A big THANK YOU goes to<br />
Oxnard Masonic Lodge for allowing us to use their facilities.<br />
You still have time to get those candidates in. There are still four more ceremonials this<br />
year, May 14th in Palm Springs, August 13th at the <strong>Shrine</strong> Auditorium, October 7th in Arroyo<br />
Grande and December 3rd at the Los Angeles <strong>Shrine</strong>rs Hospital for Children.<br />
Yours in the faith<br />
