<<< Go Back to Mizpah Shrine News
Nobles,
I have tried all year long not to use my monthly
message to talk about the past. I have thought the
space was better suited to write about the future,
but I have to pause to congratulate all the Mizpah
Shriners who attended the Shrine Imperial Session in
Indianapolis. Since last year I have asked all Mizpah
Nobles to take advantage of the proximity of the
event and enjoy all benefits that being a Shriner has to
offer. On Monday July 2nd over 160 Mizpah Shriners
participated in the annual Imperial Session Parade.
The rain could not suppress the Mizpah message. Of
the 194 Shrine Centers from around the globe, Mizpah
had the greatest parade participation! I know it was not
easy transporting all our floats, cars, bikes, tractors,
etc. down to Indianapolis. A special thank you goes
out to the Mizpah Horse Patrol. These Nobles had to
endure an unpleasant situation, but represented all of
Mizpah with style and determination. I do not want to
miss some individual achievements by our very own
Mizpah Shriners. Scott Abbs won the award for first
place in grade 2, Solo Piper. Smirky, Don Laughlin,
took first place in Auguste Clown One Man Skit, and
second place in Auguste Clown Make Up. Our Mizpah
Clowns placed fifth in Group Skit competition. I
personally want to thank everyone who attended and
helped show the world that the Mizpah Shrine Center is
one of the best.
The Mizpah Fly In Breakfast is just around the corner
and we need your help. On Sunday August 25th we will
be hosting our annual breakfast to support our Hospital
Transportation Fund. If you are looking for an easy
way to give to our kids this is the event for you. The
work actually begins with the set up at the airplane
hangar at Baer Field on Saturday August 24th at 9am.
We have to not only set up the cooking stations, but all
the tables and chair to pull off this great event. Lunch
will be served after setup is done. On Sunday we
will need your help cooking starting very early in the
morning and continuing until 1pm. If you show up to
help you will be utilized. Find Ellis Ryan or myself and
we will find you a job. We tend to run short on cooks
after 11am. Do not forget after the cooking work ends
we still have a lot to do. The teardown begins at 1 pm
and takes two hours if we have sufficient help. As the
“Official Grill Cleaner,” I can assure you we never have
enough help setting up or tearing down. Hamburgers
and refreshments will be served at Temple immediately
after work is done Sunday for all teardown volunteers.
Many hands make short work.
Please educate yourself about the 1st Annual Mizpah
Sportsman Raffle. I do not want to use the three
pages it would take to explain everything about
the event so I ask you to checkout www.shrine-sportsman.com.
The important points are the event will be held from noon until
5pm on Saturday September 7th @ the Shrine Horse grounds in Columbia City.
We will need every single noble, and ladies,
help starting on the Friday before and continuing until late Saturday night.
There is a job for everyone. If you have ticket money outstanding please get it turned in ASAP.
The September Allah-Bi will be packed with information on how you can
help make this event great.
Your Humble Servant,
