<strong>Mocha</strong> Love Bugs<br />
Members of the "Love Bugs" send greetings to all<br />
Nobles.<br />
The "Love Bugs" were officially recognized as a Unit<br />
of <strong>Mocha</strong> Temple by the International Shrine of<br />
Chicago (as it then was) on January 1, 1980. The unit<br />
was to revolve around the Volkswagen "Bug". The Walt<br />
Disney movie "Herbie the Love Bug" came to mind<br />
and the name "Love Bugs" was ultimately adopted for<br />
the unit. It started with three members and one<br />
Volkswagen and has grown continuously over the years<br />
since that time.<br />
Each of the unit members owns, maintains and insures<br />
their "Bug". The cars are becoming more difficult to<br />
find as time passes. We look forward to the continued<br />
growth of our unit and to the ever increasing donations<br />
to the Shrine hospitals and other charities.<br />
In 2008 we were involved in 14 parades. <strong>2009</strong> events<br />
that the "Love Bugs" participated in have been:<br />
May 18 - Woodstock Victoria Day Parade, June 13 -<br />
Spring Ceremonial - Leamington, June 26 -<br />
Thamesville Threshing Festival Parade, August 1 -<br />
Simcoe Friendship Festival Parade, August 26 -<br />
Aylmer Shrine Club Cruise Night, September 6 -<br />
Port Rowan Bay Fest Parade as well as several<br />
Christmas Parades in the area.<br />
Monthly regular meetings first Saturday of each month<br />
consist of breakfast at 9 am at the New Sarum Diner.<br />
We are continuously looking for new members. If you<br />
are interested and would like to have some fun driving<br />
a "Bug" we would be able to assist you in obtaining a<br />
suitable Volkswagen. Contact Harry Hewbank<br />
(president) at 519-773-7147 or Roy Pickard (secretary)<br />
at 519-773-5526<br />
