<<< Go Back to Mizpah Shrine News
January and February Stated Meetings have been
attended by a lot of you (In the 80's for both meetings),
we have tried to make them more interesting. Some of
the new items have been the Past Potentate of the month
and Shriner of the month. Also, we are giving you a
look at the finances of your Temple. Your Divan voted
to bring popcorn back to Mildred's Lounge. Yes, we
have tried to listen to what you have to say.
The Circus Committee and the Divan want to again
"Thank Everybody" for the work at the Circus. We
especially want to mention the Legion of Honor Nobles
and Ladies for their breakroom. The NEW Gentle
Giants volunteerism is the best. I really don’t want to
forget to thank the Nile Ladies for selling the Circus
shirts, etc in two different locations this year. We
appreciate all the Nobles and their Ladies who helped
in so many ways - we could not do this without all of
you! Good Job to ALL!
The Potentate trip to Cancun was very successful and
enjoyed by all who come along. As the Nobles and
Ladies will be talking a long time about the fun and sun.
Thank you to Travel Leaders and hostess Beth Didier.
We need to remember “what happened in Cancun stays
in Cancun”.
March will be a full month:
Beer & Chips @ the Temple 3/5/16
Director Staff Beer Tasting @ the Temple 3/18/16
Mizpah Easter Party @ the Temple 3/19/16
Whitley County Shrine Club Steak Supper @the Horse
Grounds 3/26/16
April 29, 2016 at 6 pm will be first FISH FRY at the
Temple, you don’t want to miss this new event.
The Sportsman’s Raffle should be on our minds, I
know it’s on Steve Cowan’s mind. What a wonderful
Fund Raiser for our Temple. Buy tickets for good
food, drinks and fellowship. Also, you might win a
gun. This is also a wonderful place to try to bring
in a few New Nobles. We need to make our goal of
selling tickets to 996 more than last year. There will
be more on the Sportsman’s Raffle in the coming
months. We all have to remember the Dues, the
Circus, and the Sportsman’s Raffle are our financial
lifeline.
As we look into tomorrow, we have to do something
on MEMBERSHIP. Your Divan can’t act alone
on this subject. This problem of bringing in new
members belongs to all of us. We will give you the
tools to help at the March Stated Meeting. Hopefully
you will use them. Your Membership Committee
will help you in any way to bring in new members,
it has to start with you. We believe in two of many
ways to bring in New Members; 1) Start with your
Blue Lodge 2) ask the men you work and talk with.
Anyone can be a Shriner if he is asked.
When was the last time you were in your Temple?
Come for a visit!
Have a wonderful March,
Jerry W Freewalt, Potentate
