CHIEF RABBAN <br />
Nobles, thank you for what you do!<br />
Please don’t forget to sell your<br />
Circus Ads. The Circus is right<br />
around the corner on October<br />
6th, 7th and 8th. There will be<br />
animals, so bring your children<br />
and grandchildren for a great<br />
show.<br />
The Divan has been very busy…<br />
Hospital Day at Lexington was great.<br />
We have a hospital that we can be proud of. We will<br />
be attending Divan Hospital Days at Lexington and<br />
Cincinnati in the coming weeks. We just got back<br />
from Imperial Session in Daytona Beach, FL. It was<br />
a wonderful time. Please make plans to be there next<br />
year July 15th-July 19th to see your very own Illustrious<br />
Sir Jim Cain be installed as Potentate of Shriners<br />
International. This will be Potentate’s Trip.<br />
Again, thank you for letting me serve on your Divan.<br />

A big thank you to everyone<br />
involved with the Easter Egg<br />
Hunt. It was a great crowd<br />
and everyone had a wonderful<br />
time. May is going to be a<br />
busy month and we hope<br />
to see everyone at some<br />
of the following events:<br />
Paper Sale, Dedication of the new<br />
Lexington Hospital and Fun Fest, just<br />
to name a few.<br />
We are off to a great start for <strong>2017</strong> with our membership<br />
drive. We have over 25 new nobles at this<br />
point. If your Shrine Clubs have some candidates,<br />
then just contact the office or any Divan member to<br />
schedule an initiation. Keep up the great work!<br />

THEY ARE COMING!<br />
Yes the talk at this year’s Imperial<br />
in Daytona was “We Can<br />
Not Wait Till 2019 To Come<br />
To Nashville “. Our 12 Hotels,<br />
outside of the 2 Hotels Imperial<br />
Shrine has, is Over 80% Sold<br />
Out within the 3 days that our<br />
2019 Housing Office was open<br />
at Imperial. I had Temple’s<br />
telling me that their Shrine Clubs along<br />
with Units are asking to be a part of this 2019 Imperial<br />
Shrine and the Parade<br />
So Nobles of Al Menah...”LET BE SEEN IN 2019”.<br />
It’s our time to show what Music City and Al Menah<br />
is ALL ABOUT.<br />

you couldn’t swing a dead cat<br />
without hitting a Potentate, Past<br />
Potentate, or an Imperial officer.<br />
We all got on the stage to<br />
announce the Imperial Session<br />
in Nashville 2019 for Imperial Sir Jim Cain and you<br />
needed sunglasses for all the jewels and bling reflecting<br />
off the fezzes the crowd had on - it was great.<br />
If you have the time next year, you really should<br />
plan to go with us to Daytona for Jim’s installation. It<br />
will be a great party and we can finally determine if<br />
spitting in the ocean really does raise the water level...<br />
that is if we can find the ocean after the party.<br />
