Welcome
From the Desk of the Recorder

     Summer is here and with it comes good weather and outdoor activities.  Our “Snowbirds” have returned and it is nice seeing and being with them again.  As they say absence makes the heart grow fonder.  So often we take people for granted when they are with us regularly.  When we have not been in their company for a while it is then we recognize how much their friendship means to us.

     The parade schedule is included in this issue.  Please participate if you can. Parade participation is a great way for us to get recognition with the general public.  Membership in our Units is dwindling, and we need to turn that trend around now. Please try to get a candidate for membership and encourage him to join a Unit of his choice. Shrine participation has many rewards for those who are active. 

     Membership is a continuing concern as I mentioned above.  Along those lines at this time there are 128 Nobles who owe their 2010 dues. Those Nobles with an outstanding balance should have received a dues notice within the last week or two.  Please send your dues payment in because in four months the 2011 dues bills will be sent.  Should you have a problem with paying your dues, please contact my office so we can work with you to resolve the situation to everyone's satisfaction.

     We have a Full Form Ceremonial scheduled for August 14, 2010, and a notice of the same is elsewhere in this issue. The ceremonial will be on a Saturday so interference from work should not be a major concern. Come out and see the Novices get initiated.  Lunch is free you only need to get a ticket in advance. It sure would be nice to have a number of Nobles on the sidelines enjoying the event.  When was the last time you came and saw a Full Form Ceremonial? For me it was last year.

     Have a great summer, and I will see you along the way.

Fraternally yours,

 

                        Ill. Leon C. Knudsen PP
