Forks of the Delaware TIN LIZZIES<br />
Sam Ellis<br />
The summer began with the Hospital Crusade and the Tin Lizzies worked two<br />
locations this year: Redners Quick Stop, in Northampton and Redners Market in<br />
Easton. It’s always inspiring when someone comes up to you during the crusade<br />
and relates a story of how the Shriners Hospitals helped them, a relative or<br />
someone they know. Regarding our work at the Northampton location, noted local<br />
entertainer Tommy Zito stopped by to show his support for the Shriners Hospital<br />
Crusade and make a donation.<br />
Our Annual Clam Bake took place in mid-July in<br />
Stockertown. It was a great time<br />
with terrific food, Bingo, and<br />
fun with friends. We were happy<br />
to have members of the Divan<br />
join us; Chief Rabban Jared<br />
Kichline, Assistant Rabban Mike<br />
Zerbe, First Ceremonial Master<br />
Kraig Lieby and past Chanters President Les Worley got in a few games of ring toss as<br />
well as enjoying some good food and fellowship.<br />
Thanks to event chairman Ron Barron, Patricia and president Henry Faust, and Sally<br />
and Bruce Johnson for their hard work in making the bake a success. And thanks also to<br />
Ray Barron for calling the Bingo games.<br />
As this story is being written the club is looking forward to the MASA Convention and<br />
the parade in early September.<br />
CONCERT BAND<br />
Bryan Snyder<br />
There are many ways to have fun when you become a Shriner.<br />
You can join the Concert Band or one of the many clubs or units<br />
of <strong>Rajah</strong> Shrine. All Shriners should seek out these opportunities<br />
at <strong>Rajah</strong> to celebrate the fun of brotherhood. The Concert Band<br />
unit has Shriner mentors who are ready to talk to you. Let one of<br />
our mentors explain about our unit and our fraternity, the “world’s<br />
greatest philanthropy”, Shriners Hospitals for Children®.<br />
Our Band mentors will aid and assist you with any questions<br />
you may have about our fraternity and help you get acquainted<br />
with other members you may already know. We will help you and<br />
your family become informed and educated about who we are and<br />
what we do. “We play so children can play”.<br />
Some of the fun on our play list for the summer is a free<br />
pubic concert at the Bernville Umbenhauer Park, sponsored by<br />
the American Legion, Inc., a U.S. wartime veterans organization. Next will be<br />
the 42nd Annual Shriner’s Nite at Reading Fightin Phillies, at the at the First<br />
Energy Stadium. We won’t miss a beat and get right into the swing of German<br />
Band music at the Potentates’ Picnic at the South End Gun Club. (After we eat<br />
some corn and clams) Then it’s off to Virginia Beach at Mid-Atlantic Shrine<br />
Convention for the Festival of Music, the Atlantic Parade and jamming in the<br />
hotel lounge. The end of summer fun we shall mark time at the 67th Annual<br />
Pretzel Bowl at the Gene L. Shirk Stadium at Albright College, Reading, PA.<br />
We hope to see you there.<br />
The Concert Band meets on the 2nd Sunday of each month at 1PM at the <strong>Rajah</strong> Complex. Stop in. Bring your instrument. Or<br />
call President Joe McCarthy, 610-488-1382 or Bryan Snyder, Unit Director 610-589-2022 for schedules and bookings. Our Concert<br />
