phinx Temple No. 116, Daughters
of the Nile has had another
Sbusy fall. We were excited to welcome
Supreme Queen Margaret Ann
Risk to our temple in August — what
an enthusiastic and inspiring representative
of Daughters of the Nile this
year! In celebration of Supreme Queen
Margaret Ann’s visit, we held a lovely
ceremonial of initiation where we welcomed
three new princesses into the
order: Joan English, Brandy Wolfe,
and Karen Velthuys. Supreme Queen
Margaret Ann graced our temple with
the following Supreme Temple

Past Queen Lindsey Lorteau – member,
Action Team Committee;

Throughout the summer, Sphinx
Temple has participated with the
Masonic Family in parades throughout
southern Manitoba. We continue to
enjoy this type of cooperation and
fellowship that we have within our
Masonic family in Manitoba. The support
that all the concordant bodies in
Masonry give each other is tremendous!
By working together for our common
goals, we can only become stronger.
In October, Sphinx Temple held its
major fundraiser ” of the year, ‘Win a
Pile Off the Nile’ casino night, held at
the Khartum Shrine Centre. The poker
chips were flying as everyone spent
their money, knowing that 70 percent
of the proceeds were to go to the Canadian
Foundation for the benefit of
Shriners Hospitals for Children® Canada.
Another fundraiser is scheduled
for February 1, a dinner theater with a
‘Pink Lodge’ theme. This should be an
extremely fun evening! If you would
like tickets, please email info@sphinx
temple116.ca. Our Dance & Pageantry
unit had another successful and fun
fundraiser in November. Their Quiz
Night remains quite popular and sells
out quickly.
