Hi Nobles!
We are halfway through 2017 already. Summer is here and the
parade season has begun with 2 parades completed - the
Memorial Day parade in Ft. Wayne and the Kosciusko County
Shrine parade in Warsaw. Both of them were excellent parades
with many Shriners participating! Thank YOU Nobles for your
participation!
We still have 4 Shrine parades yet this year. Hopefully the
weather will
cooperate with us for those parades just like it did for the
first 2. The Divan
would really appreciate a large participation by Nobles for
all the remaining
Parades and events this year. Below is a partial listing of
events for the
remainder of the year;
1 - Lawton Park Car Show -- Mizpah Car Club 7/15/2017 8am - 2pm
2 - Orland Parade 7/29/2017 --
Line up 10am / Parade 11am
3 - Wabash Parade 8/5/2017 --
Line up 4pm / Parade 5pm
4 - Kosciusko County Shrine Club Golf Outing 8/9/2017
5 - North Manchester Parade 8/12/2017 Line up 4pm / Parade 5pm
6 - Mizpah Shrine Stag @ Horse Grounds 8/24/2017 6pm
7 - Mizpah Fly-In Breakfast 8/27/2017 6:30am-1pm
8 - Sportsmen's Raffle Setup 9/8/2017 All Day
9 - Sportsman's Raffl e 9/9/2017 12pm - 5pm
10 - Veterans Day Parade 11/11/2017 Line up 10am / Parade 11am
12 - Fall Shrine Ceremonial 11/18/2017 TBA
At the last Stated Meeting I threw out a challenge to all of
the Nobility. The challenge was, for each Noble to bring a
candidate to the next Ceremonial. We are hoping to fill up the
Imperial Room with candidates and Shriners and have a
wonderful experience that will be remembered by all for many
years in the future. Membership is NOT just the responsibility
of the Membership Committee, membership is the duty and
responsibility of all Shriners. One can always ask a Mason to
become a Shriner. Another way to get a new Shriner is to have
a man become a Mason then a Shriner. Either way, we grow
stronger with each new member.
There is another avenue to making a Mason a Shriner that is
not used very ofen. Since there are Masons in our communities
that cannot attend a Saturday at the Shrine Center for a
Ceremonial, the Divan can hold a "Cold Sands" in your hometown
or any other place and date of your choosing to make new
Shriners. Please let the Divan know if you are interested in
having a "Cold Sands" and we can get it scheduled. We would
like a minimum of 2 new candidates for a "Cold Sands".
Yours in the Faith,
