As always, thank you for everything you do for Al
Menah and our Shriners Hospitals and children!
A special thank you to all the Veterans for your services
to our great country. I hope everyone had a
great fall season and a Happy Thanksgiving. This
is a season to be thankful for what we have and not
what we want.
Please try to attend our Patient’s Christmas Party.
This is the one time of year we get to spend
time with the patients. I know it will be a great
time as always!
Parade season is in full swing. Make time to support
your unit as we showcase our Temple during
the holidays.
In closing, I thank everyone for giving me the
opportunity to serve on your Divan and as your Potentate
in 2018. But most of all, thank you for your
FRIENDSHIP.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Yours in faith,
Horace Perkins, III
Stay Humble and Kind

From the desk of...
CHIEF RABBAN
MERRY CHRISTMAS...
To you and your Family.
It has been a Fast 12 months for
Lady Beth and I as we get ready
for 2019.We want to think the
Nobles of Al Menah and their
Ladies for the Support, Words
of Wisdom, Stepping Up for the
Events, and MOST OF ALL...
“What can we do to HELP NEXT YEAR”.
And a special THANK YOU.....to our ladies of Al Menah
that worked putting the “LADIES EXTRAVAGANZA
EVENT” together..... right at $6,000.00 raised for the First
Lady Project in 2019. Also to Noble Maurice Smith taking
the time to put our SHRINER together. To our Office
Staff, The Divan and the 2018 Potentate Staff for keeping
Our Shrine moving forward this past year. ...AND... to
Imperial Sir.Jim Cain and Lady Patsy for taking a little of
Al Menah with them with all of their travel.
May the Love of the Season shine bright within Your
Heart Year Round.
Nobles of AlMenah...THANK YOU and MERRY
CHRISTMAS.

We are in the middle of Christmas
parades and it is great to see
everyone out on the parade routes
having fun and spreading holiday
cheer. Al Menah representation
at our local parades is one of
the best ways to bring awesome
attention to our fraternity and our
hospitals.
We hope everyone can attend the
Patients’ Christmas Party at Al Menah Shrine Center
on December 9th. This event is a great way to see the
miracles this awesome fraternity has the capability to
perform for our kids. Keep the good work up nobles!
Kim and I plan to attend as many of the unit and
club Christmas Parties as possible; however, there is no
way to make them all. We wish each and every one of
you a Very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous
New Year!

HIGH PRIEST PRIEST AND PROPHET AND PROPHET
I suspect this will be the last time you
will be dazzled with the wisdom
and charm emanating from the
office of High Priest & No Profit,
especially since a Clown will be
taking over next year! Looking
back at the perilous trail of debris
and garbage I have spread this
year, I find a few pearls of wisdom
have managed to survive and I now
leave you to ponder: I heard it said to never trust a
fart, if you do be sure to bring a change of clothes;
dealing with drama queens is like wrestling with a
pig—you get crap all over you and the pig likes it;
how many women does it take to change a throwback
Shriner from Dickson? just one—his sister, mother-inlaw
and ex-wife; clowns are more annoying than dune
buggies; whipped cream tastes better than shaving
cream, according to Jingles.
These, along with other fond memories of this
year, will soon be circling the drain moving into the
history of our proud fraternity. Remember during the
holidays to say kind things about your family and
friends whether you believe it or not, since it makes
them feel good inside. Be kind to animals and Clowns
since ORIENTAL at least GUIDE the animals
have feelings and love you
unconditionally.
Have a beautiful Christmas and Happy New Year.
High Priest and Prophet

ORIENTAL GUIDE
It’s hard to believe it’s already
December. This is always a busy
month full of Christmas parades,
and traveling to visit family for
the holidays. So please be safe
in your travels and enjoy time
spent with your families.
As always, thank you for what you
do each day for Al Menah and
Shriners Hospitals.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Dear Fellow Nobles,
Over the last few months, your incredible outpouring of support and prayers for your brothers
and their families impacted by the series of hurricanes has been nothing short of inspiring. I am
extremely proud to represent this great brotherhood. Through your generous support of the
ongoing relief efforts of the Masonic Service Association of North America (MSA), each of you
has exemplified the Masonic tenet of brotherly love. Your gifts, compassion and concern for
your brothers is the epitome of our theme, “Together We Can.”
Our call to service must continue.
Although hurricane season is ending, our work is not done. We must now focus our attention
on the West Coast, where wildfires are currently ravaging and destroying communities in both
Northern and Southern California. The Grand Master of California, M. W. Stuart Wright, has
filed a disaster appeal with the MSA in hopes of obtaining help for his Masons who are valiantly
coping with this disastrous situation. We have learned that members of both Al Malaikah
Shriners (Los Angeles) and Ben Ali Shriners (Sacramento) have also been affected. Additionally,
we know that several nobles live in Paradise, a particularly hard hit area, and, so far, all of them
have not been accounted for. At this point, we do not know the full extent of the situation
throughout the area, as the fires continue to burn.
I have spoken to M. W. Wright and offered the full support of Shriners International during
this time of crisis. I also let him know I would bring attention to this appeal. I am once again
asking you to assist our brothers. Your support and assistance is critically important.
The MSA continues to be our best way to provide assistance; the organization implements
separate disaster relief appeals for each geographic area and Masonic Grand Lodge making such
requests, so that the ongoing assistance efforts may continue. All donations received through
these appeals will be transferred directly to the respective Grand Lodge for distribution to those
in need.
How to help masons and nobles affected by the fires:
Make a check payable to “MSA Disaster Relief Fund” and send them to:
Masonic Service Association
3905 National Drive, Suite 280
Burtonsville, MD 20866
Please write on the memo portion of the check, “California Disaster Appeal”
Click here to donate via PayPal or credit card.
Contributions to Masonic Service Association of North America are tax-deductible to the extent
allowed by law.
The leadership of Shriners International remains in contact with the affected Grand Lodges
and the Potentates of the temples impacted by the fires, and asks that you continue to keep your
fellow brothers and nobles in your thoughts and prayers.
I thank and commend everyone who has already contributed to these efforts. The number of
our worthy brothers and their families who are in distress has again increased, and we must
continue to share our concern and compassion and offer every assistance possible to our
brethren.
Please donate today.
Yours in the faith,

Clowns
2018 is drawing to a close and it was a
fantastic, busy year for clowning! The
Fabulous Al Menah Clowns showed
the world how “fabulous” we are with
hundreds of dress outs. We put smiles
on thousands of faces with numerous
parades, hospital trip, State Fair appearances,
paper sale and the Circus.
Veterans Day and Christmas parades
were plentiful in November and December,
and we’re looking forward to a small
break at the beginning of the New Year.
The Al Menah Clowns would like
to give a big “Thank you!” to Frank
“Froggy” Wilson and Lady Valerie for a
wonderful year as Captain and First Lady.
Their leadership, guidance and caring
ensured us a fun, successful year and that
is what continues to keep us focused on
working for our Shrine children and our
hospitals.
As always, thank you to all of you for
what you do to support our children’s
hospitals. Please keep those that are sick
and unable to attend our events in your
prayers.
Keep on Clowning!
Jim “Snips” Lee
Secretary
Director’s Staff
What an exciting month. Turkeys have
been gobbled up, money donated at the
auction, and the Lady’s extravaganza has
had another great fundraising event.
The Director’s Staff are very proud of
all the hard work our Directorette’s do
in supporting us and cannot
thank them enough.
We are also very proud of
10
Eddie Hill who did a fantastic job of
organizing all the golf hackers for the
Directors Golf Tournament again this
year and was very pleased to present a
check to Potentate Horace Perkins for
$10,406.00
As we move forward, at the October
meeting Brent Stadterman was elected
Secretary again, we really appreciate it
Brent.
We had two nominations for Lieutenant,

Our last stated meeting for the year will
be in November as the meeting in December

and help out as needed.

The Legion of Honor had another great
month in November. The LOH participated
in the Hendersonville and
Murfreesboro parades. The Legion was
met with enthusiastic crowds and warm
greetings for being Armed Forces veterans.
The Unit will support Al Menah’s
participation in the remaining Christmas
Parades.
The LOH continues to grow, as we
added two new members, one of whom
was the second Reserve member. Noble
Long is a trumpet player, and he adds a
sense of flair to the LOH presentation of
colors.
The LOH updated our Constitution
and Bylaws for the first time in 46 years.
The current Commander and Past Commander
will present the updated documents
to the Divan in Jan., 2019 for their
final approval.
The perfunctory aspects of approving
a new Budget was done. and the following
officers for 2019 were elected:
Commander - Wayne Steele
Vice Commander - Steve Singleton
Lieutenant Commander - Jason Robinson
Adjutant - Art De Vooght
Finance Officer - Gene Ornes
Acting Past Commander - Roy Lindsey
The Unit will have its XMAS Party

Motor Corps
The Circus has come and gone for another
year. I think everything went well
and Thanksgiving with all the turkey and
trimmings has come and gone and Christmas
Holidays are just around the corner!
With that, we find ourselves once again at
the end of another year ~ a time to reflect
on the good, the bad and the ugly. To
ponder the positives as well as the negatives
and learn from those. I ask myself,
“as a Mason and a Shriner, what can I do
to be a better Noble and what can I help
you do”. I challenge each of you to ask
yourselves the same question.
We look forward to a new year at Al
Menah in 2019, as well as in the Motor
Corps.

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
