December 2024
I first would like to welcome Cathy back to the office. Have missed her and am glad she is healing up even with Greg caring for her. Yea Cathy!!
We have a fundraising event coming up. The Feztival of Trees December 7th and 8th at the Bridwell Ag Center. Last year the temple cleared over $1100.00 and fully anticipate this year to be bigger and better. This is not an event that requires a lot of manpower BUT we need at least 4-5 Nobles at the event while it’s open. We would be selling the tickets for $2 each. It’s a very easy sell. If drawn the consumer would win the tree, all decorations, and gifts under that tree. Call Potentate Bill to volunteer.
As on our schedule, we will be decorating the Temple for Christmas on November 23rd at 10 AM. We will need some folks at the Temple for a couple of hours to knock this out. With a small group it just doesn’t take long. Hope to see you there. Questions call Cathy in office or Jody Miller.
Joey V. made a good point last night about new members. We, as Shriners, need to reach out and call new members to simply invite them to any gathering or special event. It’s our job to keep their interest in the Shrine. Cathy will have any contact information needed. Please reach out !!
Another shout out to Noble Ed Hall. As of yesterday he is in the hospital with pneumonia. I trust Big Ed will be home by the time this reaches everyone. My best wishes to you Ed and Pam.
We have Happy hour at the Temple on December 19th. Come out and visit with all before Christmas. Last item: We need an Oriental Guide for 2025. We have gone through this every year. It’s not as expensive as you have been led to believe. As far as time there is just a couple of meetings out of town to attend. While here we do split up as much as needed. I ask that we have an interested Noble to step up. Just ask any Divan member or call the office for needed information.
Yours in Faith
