BUCCANEERS<br />
Brandan Roberts, President and Scribe<br />
Wow! As I write this, the 64 th annual Shrine Circus has<br />
already started in Lewiston. What a great way to start the spring<br />
off as the last of the snow melts away and the warmer weather<br />
sets in. For a while there it almost looked as if we’d be trudging<br />
around in a foot of snow wearing our buccaneer outfits! The<br />
Circus is kick-starting the year for the Buccaneers as we gear up<br />
for the events and parades that will make up our summer. Now<br />
is the perfect time to join our crew so you can be involved in<br />
all the fun. We’re a family-orientated unit that enjoys meeting<br />
and greeting the children attending the Circus as well as<br />
various parades across Maine dressed up as friendly pirates. If<br />
interested, contact any of the Buccaneers and we will be glad to<br />
send you information and an application! We hope to see you<br />
soon!<br />

FLAG UNIT<br />
by Bruce Fifield, Director/Scribe<br />
Dear Nobles and Ladies,<br />
We trust you have all had a wonderful winter and early<br />
spring! As flowers bloom and trees turn green, Crazy Cops are<br />
gearing up for another busy parade season with bundles of<br />
anticipation. We are in the process of building two new carts,<br />
courtesy of Able Power Rooter of Lewiston and Triple A Foam<br />
of Greene. Another sponsor for a third new cart is also in the<br />
works. Additionally, Crazy Cops are getting excited for the<br />
upcoming <strong>Summer</strong> Ceremonial events in Skowhegan and the<br />
NSA Fall Field Days events in Ottawa. We would like to welcome<br />
our newest member, Jon Lizotte Jr., to our unit. Have a safe,<br />
joyful summer season!<br />
Congratulations to Illustrious John H. Gailey, our newly<br />
elected Potenate and his lovely First Lady Phyllis. We look<br />
forward to a great year and are here to support you and your<br />
missions and stand ready to assist in any way we can.<br />
As always, we are looking for new members who would<br />
like to join our proud Flag Unit. Our roster is down to eleven<br />
members, of which only upward to eight of us are able to march<br />
at any given parade.<br />
Our Treasurer Larry Grady has given notice that he can<br />
no longer continue in this position because of health issues.<br />
We are in hopes that a current member will be willing to step<br />
forward and take over this role. This will be addressed at our<br />
yearly meeting on Monday, May 1, <strong>2017</strong> at the Union Masonic<br />
Hall at 7PM.<br />
We will continue to do the good work we do as Shriners.<br />
