<strong>Rajah</strong> Shrine participates in the NATIONAL NIGHT OUT<br />
The <strong>Rajah</strong> Shrine Complex was the site of the Northern Berks Regional Police Department’s<br />
National Night Out on August 7th. The National Night Out is an annual community-building<br />
campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie. This<br />
is the 35th year for the National Night Out program. 1,600 communities across the country<br />
participated in the event.<br />
This was the first time the Northern Berks Regional Police Department has staged the event<br />
and by all measures. “It was a resounding success” said Chief Brian Horner.<br />
Noble Sam Beam,<br />
who is on the organizing<br />
committee, said that there<br />
were 38 vendors and 4 fire<br />
departments on site and it<br />
was attended, in somewhat<br />
rainy weather, by over<br />
1,200 people.<br />
There was free food,<br />
drinks, music, kid’s<br />
activities, and fireworks.<br />

LEHIGH SHRINE CLUB<br />
Fellow Nobles, greetings from the Nobles and Ladies of the Lehigh Shrine Club.<br />
Summer is behind us and I think we are all ready for some cooler weather.<br />
As I write this article, MASA is only a few days away. It is always a treat to attend and enjoy the fun<br />
and fellowship of our great Fraternity. Hope to see many of our Nobles there next week.<br />
Our Annual Interclub Night was held at the Lehigh Lodge on Wednesday evening, August 8th. There<br />
were 40 Nobles in attendance, including our Potentate and several Members of the Divan. This is the “all<br />
you can eat” event of the year. The Nobles feasted on fried eggs and ham, fried potatoes, corn on the cob,<br />
salad with bacon dressing and fresh tomato slices. Dessert was apple pie a la mode. No on EVER leaves<br />
Roger C. Reis<br />
this event hungry. Lots of camel’s milk and frivolity made for a great time.<br />
We appreciate the hospitality of Lehigh Lodge for letting us use their facility.<br />
We took in a new member. Noble Dennis Guignet Sr. was unanimously approved for membership. And “yes” Noble Dennis ;<br />
that second VP position we spoke of is still available.<br />
Our next meeting is Wednesday, <strong>October</strong> 3rd at the Brass Rail. Ladies are invited. Our speaker will be Noble Guy Bieber, 33rd,<br />
whose topic will be a story of the Old West.<br />
One final reminder to save the date of <strong>October</strong> 10 for our Annual Golf Outing, ably run by Past President Noble Ronald<br />
Neimeyer. Good food - Good golf - Good price!<br />
Remember to support your Clubs and Units. Without member participation, we will cease to exist.<br />
As always, it’s GREAT to be a Shriner!!!!<br />
