I would like to take a minute to thank the Nobility
for what you do for Al Menah and our Hospitals.
Please make plans to attend the September Stated
Meeting. We will be taking in William Lee Golden of
the Oak Ridge Boys, and Imperial Sir Jim Cain will
have the honor of doing it. The attire for the meeting
will be dress casual. Please dress appropriately
because we will take a picture that will go in a
newsletter that goes out all over the country. We
need over 200 Nobles that night, so please make
plans to attend. I will be giving away a gift certificate
to Goodlettsville Gun Shop for $200! We will be
planning a bus ride downtown on the Honky Tonk
Bus. More info to follow.
In closing, make plans to be at the Circus October
5th-7th.
BE HUMBLE, BE KIND, BE NOBLE

Forge Tennessee, and for the next 3 years

SHOW TIME. Remember this is OUR TEMPLE FUNDRAISER

1)Send your money back in on YOUR Tickets 2)Let others about the
GREAT SHOWS that we have 3)Come down and help out in some way
New email: almenahshrine2019@gmail.com If you have an IDEA or
LIKE TO HELP in some way for next year let me know.
Chief Rabban
Randy Williams
ASSISTANT RABBAN
If you didn’t get to attend SESA this year, then
you missed ONE great time! Our attendance
doubled to over 600 nobles… Awesome!
Congratulations to the LOH, Provost
Guard and Clowns for representing Al
Menah with all their wins!!! It looks like
SESA is back on track with growth for
many, many years. We look forward to
ASSISTANT RABBAN
everyone attending next year!
As the outgoing President of SESCA,
I want to give a BIG ThAnKs to all of
the clown ladies, Al Menah Clowns and
Alhambra Clowns for all their hard work and
dedication! We would not have been able to do it without all of
you! Thanks to the fabulous clowns that attended… we had clowns
that traveled from as far away as Mobile, AL and Albany, GA to
compete at SESCA! Congratulations to our new President, Perry
“Doc Rock” Perkins. He will do a great job with the continued
growth of SESCA. We look forward to supporting him!
Lots of fun and important events are coming soon… Fall
Ceremonial, Car Show, Circus and many more events! Kim and
I hope to see everyone at these upcoming events and many more.
Assistant Rabban
Scott Jones
HIGH PRIEST AND PROPHET
I got some really good news this week—I don’t
have to go to membership school in Tampa
this year!! That’s important because the
dates for the school overlap the Circus.
If you haven’t heard, Illustrious Sir
Dennis (the Slug) Belford has been
made the Imperial Chaplain and
that’s important as well, since now
the Clowns have a direct connection to
the Lord Almighty! It’s been reported that
HIGH PRIEST AND PROPHET
the “The Slug” stands in good with the Lord and with His divine
guidance maybe, just maybe, with lots of practice the Clowns might
be able to hit the Oriental Guide with a pie this year. Jingles said he
didn’t have any worries since the Clowns couldn’t hit the broad side
of a barn with a cream pie, and besides he’s a Clown, they wouldn’t
dare. Now me, I wouldn’t be quite that cocky, but he’s got a point. It
comes down to this, the Circus is the first weekend in October and if
you want to see how this turns out, buy your Circus tickets-and come
down to watch the fight.
High Priest and Prophet
Donnie Drayton
ORIENTAL GUIDE
Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.
I’m certain I’m not the only one that
occasionally hears something on the
news, or radio that makes you stop
for a second and realize how fast
time truly passes. Al Menah has had
a very memorable year, and I expect
the last few months of 2018 to be just
as exciting.
You do not want to miss the September
Stated Meeting as Imperial Sir Jim Cain
will be here to install our newest Al Menah Shriner, Mr.
William Lee Golden. This will be yet another memorable
event for Al Menah.
Remind all your Show Car enthusiast friends about the annual
Al Menah Shrine Car Show scheduled for September 29 here
at Al Menah. Come and see all the great cars and show your
ORIENTAL GUIDE
support for Al Menah and the car show community. You never
know where you’ll meet our next Shriner.
The most exciting time of year is upon us. That’s right….
IT’S CIRCUS TIME!!!! The Clowns will be in full force as
always and with that comes thousands of little smiling faces
and uncontrollable laughter filling Municipal Auditorium.
Unfortunately, by mandate of Ill. Sir Horace Perkins III, there
is to be no water or silly clown antics this year. HP&P Don
Drayton was so excited when he heard of this mandate he
giggled like a little schoolgirl. All the comments he’d made
since circus last year about the clowns needing to practice their
aim, all the hype. He knew now would have to go unanswered.
The clowns were ready to unleash all the greatest tricks and
treats they had learned in years past, all in Donnie’s honor.
Surely, the Ill. Sir would have to reconsider his decision. But
then, all of a sudden the mandate was discovered to be null
and void. You see, the Ill. Sir Horace Perkins III did issue
a mandate, but upon further review, it was directed to the L
Menh Clowns not the Al Menah Clowns.
Ill. Sir Horace Perkins III had left out the A.
It’s Circus time Donnie.

News from Cincinnati
Shriners Patient to College Football Player!
Justin was just 11 months old when he
sustained a serious burn on his hand from a
humidifier in the winter of 1998. “I remember
that scream to this day,” his father Ed recalled
emotionally. He and wife Cheryl took Justin to
an Akron, Ohio pediatric hospital, where an
out-of-network specialist was brought in to
treat the boy’s injury. The family had just purchased
a new home, and the $32,000 medical
bill was challenging.
The next summer, the family visited a local fair, where they visited an exhibit
by local Shriners. As they browsed, one of the Shriners said, “Do you
know any children with burns?” Though stunned by the coincidence, they
learned about the Cincinnati hospital specializing in pediatric burn treatment.
Later, Ed said to Cheryl, “I think it’s for people who have no money,”
but decided to visit. Once there, they were convinced that Shriners Hospitals
for Children ® — Cincinnati was exactly where Justin belonged.
Ed and Cheryl were amazed by the superior skill and expertise in pediatric
skin grafting in contrast to their first experience. Justin’s surgery not only
advanced his progress, it vastly improved the results of his initial treatment.
Today, Justin is a student
and football player
at Youngstown State University,
and recently had
his last of five surgeries.
Both he and his family
have become cheerleaders
for Cincinnati Shriners
Hospital, recommending
it to anyone in need of its
superior skill and care. Justin shared a recent
conversation with one of his coaches. “He asked
me why I didn’t have the surgery somewhere
local,” Justin recalled. ”I said, ‘You don’t understand.
Cincinnati Shriners Hospital is the best
burn hospital in the world - period. I’ve been going there since I was one,
and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.’”
Shriners Play a Big Role
in Referrals
When it comes to finding medical
help for children, Shriners are now
more important than ever. Members
of the fraternity have always played
a critical role in helping families in
their communities get connected
with Shriners Hospitals for Children –
Cincinnati, and now it has become even
easier with a website and referral cards.
Website
Shriners Hospitals for Children
– Cincinnati continues to make
referring a patient and obtaining
an appointment for care easier
than ever through the www.

Director’s Staff
It is hard to believe that summer is over.
The children are back in school and the
roads are very busy again. We the Director
Staff are very much like the children in that
we have commitments that we must fulfill
like attending our meetings as well as the
Shrine Stated Meetings.
As we look forward to the fall there are
several activities that we need to keep our
agenda’s open for:
The Ceremonial is scheduled for Sept
15th and we do have some new ideas that
we will require help doing.
The Directors Staff Golf Tournament at
Nashboro Golf club on Sept 20.
Al Menah car Show Sept 29
Oct 5 The Shrine Circus
Oct 11 The Scottish Rite Golf Tournament
at the Nashboro Golf Club
The Ray Stevens Charity Golf Classic

Please note these dates, plan to attend, and
help out as needed.

Motor Corps
Wow! Lots was said and lots was shared
in the August Shriner…but here is a little
bit of the r est of the story, as Paul Harvey
would say….What a great time we had at
the Imperial Session in Daytona Beach,
Florida as the Motor Corps welcomed
the Imperial Potentate Jim Cain and First
Lady Patsy! Al Menah Motor Corps was
well represented on stage, including 3 Past
Potentates, Past Captains, members and
their Ladies, as they presented the Imperial
Sir with his very own chrome motorcycle
helmet donned with his Imperial Logo. It
was a good fit! We presented Lady Patsy
with her own bedazzled goggles and bright
red “doo-rag” so she may ride in style along
with him. I, along with my Lady Debbie,
personally had the honor of bringing Imperial
Sir Jim and First Lady Patsy in to the
Imperial Pageant and what a glorious honor
it was to be asked to present them as they
continued down the “country road” in his
custom-made Golf Cart Pickup painted in
shiny red! Next year is sure to be a “Grand
Ole” time in Nashville!
Also, the Ladies of Al Menah’s Extravaganza
Committee presented the First Lady
with a check for over $30,000.00 for her
“POPS” program. Way to go, Ladies!!
As we are winding down the last days
of summertime…and gearing up for the
busy fall and Holiday season with the
circus, toy runs, parades and more, let’s all
remember the reason we are Shriners! No
Man Stands So Tall As When He Stoops To
Help A Child!

Legion of Honor
We had a successful Paper Sale, and we
had our largest turnout of Nobles in recent
times. Noble Rodriguez set up the teams
and times, which all Nobles fulfilled.
The Legion is working on a complete
rewrite of our bylaws, which will be
presented to the Unit Members in August.
Based upon the Unit’s approval, we will
present to the Divan in September for their
concurrence and approval.
With Noble Dunn as the Commander
and Noble Silva as the Vice Commander

of SESA’s LOH, we are preparing for our
August meeting in Gatlinburg. It is a great
honor to have two Nobles in the lead position
of the SESA LOH.
All continues well for the LOH, and we
look forward to the fall schedule to continue
our work.!

Provost Guard
The Provost Guard has been busy the past
couple months. Last month we went to
Daytona Beach Fla. to the Shriners International
and escorted our Illustrious Imperial
Sir Mr. Jim Cain and his Lady Patsy up to
the stage.
The Provost Guard drill team won first
place at Dixie in Panama City Fla. Last
week at S.E.S.A 1st place competition drill
and second place obstacle course. 1st place
Provost Guard uniform inspection. Gordon
Macdonald won Provost Guard of the year.
We want to thank our illustrious potentate
Horace Perkins and Chris Johnson and
brother Leo for joining us at the Provost
Guard banquet.
Now the parade season is about to begin
so we be looking forward to that.

We have a little drawing at our meetings
and you do have to be present to win. If we
don’t have a winner, the pot carries over to
the next meeting. For our next meeting we
have a carry-over of $360.00. Come on out
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
AS OF THIS PUBLICATION – SUBJECT TO CHANGE
to the meeting and see if you’re a winner?
attend the WCSC Meeting! Our meetings
are normally on the third Thursday of the
Month at the Brewhouse South in Cool
Springs.
We have been getting some complaints
about the noise level at the Brewhouse. Our
President is looking at two locations where
we might move the meetings. They are The
Sportsman’s Grill and Millers Ale House
(OLD LOGAN’S LOCATION) which
opens on September third. We will be at the
Brewhouse for our September meeting and
will probably vote on a new meeting place
at that time. Watch your e-mail and the
E-Vite for updates on this!
Come on out and let’s have some fun!
Please remember to keep those who
have lost loved ones and our sick list in
your prayers. Remember to thank God
every day for this great Country of ours.

Paper Sale Donation from Kroger
On Monday, 7/18 Potentate Jeff Head and members of the Williamson
County Shrine Club were with Kroger Management at their Belle
Meade store where they presented a $1,000.00 to us for the Shrine
Hospitals for Children. The Kroger Manager was an acquaintance of
Scotty and Teresa Travis who put this together for the Al Menah Shrine
Hospitals for Children Paper Sale.
This is a portion of a message from Phyllis Berry, wife of this
Kroger Store Manager, Michael Berry.
Let me tell you, our son was a Shrine Hospital patient
and we are forever grateful The experience was an
awakening in humanity. The care was phenomenal. The
friendship my family made. The support from the men in
your fraternity was phenomenal. We thank you for all you
and your members do for children across the country.
Sincerely
Phyllis Berry
Fraternally,
Butch Mayes, WCSC
