Provost Guard<br />
The Provost Guard Drill Team,<br />
went to Dixie in Panama City and<br />
represented Al Menah Temple really<br />
well. They knew that Al Menah<br />
was there. The Drill Team won<br />
1st place trophy. The Competion<br />
Team won 1st place. At the drawing<br />
at the banquet. Barry Cassetty<br />
won Half gallon Jack Daniel<br />
Whiskey engraved in Gold lettering<br />
with Dixie engraved on it. Ken<br />
Loftis won M&P 9mm Pistol and<br />
Phillip Waynick won a $600.00<br />
Ladies bracelet, so Al Menah Temple<br />
was well recognized. Looking<br />
forword to going back next year.<br />
The Completion Team is now<br />
practicing for S.E.S.A. in August.<br />
Hope everyone has had a good<br />
couple months in the Dark.<br />

Well, here we are in midst of the<br />
dog days of Summer.<br />
Although the Temple may have<br />
been dark, we certainly haven’t<br />
been idle. Parades, dinners, Imperial<br />
and upcoming Southeastern.<br />
And there is still lots more to do.<br />
We are still focused on Membership,<br />
having fun! BROTHER-<br />
HOOD: Don’t call me brother unless<br />
you know it’s meaning; Don’t<br />
call me brother unless we ARE<br />
brothers: Those that say you can’t<br />
choose family do not understand<br />
the meaning of BROTHERHOOD.<br />
I choose to call you my Brother for<br />
life, through the bad and through<br />
the good.<br />
I challenge each one of you to<br />
come out to the events planned,<br />
join us at Stated Meeting to see<br />
what is going on in YOUR Shrine<br />
Center, volunteer to help whenever<br />
and wherever you can without<br />
being asked to, visit a Hospital,<br />
encourage new membership.<br />
Worth repeating… Find the<br />
F-U-N in being a Shriner! I did,<br />
although it sadly seems to be missing<br />
from a few.<br />

Williamson County Shrine Club<br />
& Motor Division<br />
This summer we had a very successful<br />
Paper Sale and a fantastic<br />
Franklin Rodeo Parade. A great<br />
big thank you goes out to all the<br />
Nobles and ladies who are helping<br />
to make our club successful.<br />
Our Motor Division now has 23<br />
members now. We have been out<br />
there in the parades looking good<br />
and having fun. We are looking<br />
for new members and you may<br />
already own a vehicle that would<br />
qualify! We have Golf Carts, Dune<br />
Buggies and a third Sub-Division<br />
which consists of Antique<br />
Cars – Sports Cars – Hot Rods &<br />
Convertibles. Take a look in your<br />
garage and see if you see a vehicle<br />
there that you might use!<br />
Let’s keep on selling those<br />
Plaques for a strong finish for the<br />
year. WCSC is doing our part to<br />
support the Shrine Hospitals for<br />
Children! We are having fun at<br />
the same time. That is why we are<br />
Shriners.<br />
All Shriners and their Ladies<br />
are invited to visit WCSC on the<br />
third Thursday of each Month,<br />
6:00 pm at Logan’s Steakhouse.<br />
We think you will like it! We have<br />
great speakers at the meetings and<br />
a good time.<br />
Let’s remember to keep those<br />
who have lost loved ones, our sick<br />
list, police, firefighters and our<br />
military in your prayers. Also, to<br />
thank God, every day for this great<br />
Country of ours and the freedom<br />
we enjoy here.<br />
