Potentate’s MessageGreeting Ladies and Nobles, Where did the time go? This year has been a wild one. I want to thank all of you for the support you gave me this year, in my personal life, this would have been a trying year with-out it. I have been very busy, visiting different Shrine Temples traveling to Events, and making new friends. I think this has been a good year for EK Shrine. We just had our Halloween Party in Saginaw....Charlie Hill and his wife Ruth did a GREAT job. There are too many to thank them all, but thanks to the Clubs and Units that donated

and thanks to all that helped set up and take down. It looks like we did make some money. We have been working on our Finances, our Temple General Council and I have tried to make all this as Transparent as possible. Our new Treasurer, Timothy Cohee, is making our Books more understandable. There is still more work to be done, but we are moving in the right direction. Behind the scenes, we are working on the NEW Shrine Banquet Facility, formally Pulaski Hall. The Ceiling Tiles will be replaced, walls painted, and Floor cleaned and waxed. Most of this we need to thank the Arab Patrol. We are hoping to have this all done by the time you receive this!! I want to take this time to thank all those who have helped out this year. There are too many for me to Thank Personally, but you know who you are. Thanks to all the Clubs and Units for all their help this year, we could not do this without you. Thanks to all the Past Potentate for all their advice, and criticism, you kept me in line. Most of all, thanks for all your support of the Shrine, and for your support in my time of need.

Yours in Faith,Ill Sir John Berry

Potentate 2018

Greetings Nobles and Ladies from the Record-er’s desk; Hoping all is well and pleasant with every-one. We’re going to miss all you Snow Birds that are heading south.

My thanks to the Nobles who have paid their 2019 dues already this saves the Shrine money by not having to send additional notices out to remind Nobles that forget about or maybe even lose the first notice, Thanks again Nobles for your promptness. The office tries hard to keep the mailing list current, so if you change your address, Please let the office know of any changes. The Shrine Halloween Party went well with many children and adults attending, lot’s of candy and

prizes for the Kids. Fall Ceremonial was conferred and 2 nd Section was enjoyed by all with 7 new Nobles making us laugh, even the card players enjoyed the day while the Ladies had a good time in Frankenmuth.

Dinner: 6:00 PM - Wear Your Fez - Be sure to have your 2018 dues card

Have you ever wondered why the clowns wear a coat/jacket of different colors, a formal coat/jacket that is? Well I have and I am a clown, no one has ever said what the reason is. I guess its because we are jesters and we are made to stand out in gatherings. Here is my thoughts on this subject. Our jackets are many colors, all different, because our lives are multicolored, a tapestry held together on the backside of knots and stitches. Yet out of that which appears random and tenuous on one side, God creates a life of beauty on the other side. We are all different in our faith and nationality but we work for one cause... to serve God and his people. We do this by bringing laughter, joy and happiness into lives of others. The coat of many colors represents love to our fellow man. The famouse country singer "Dolly Parton" had a song out years ago of "The Coat of Many Colors My Mother Made for Me". It stated that her mother made her a coat, patch coat, of different colors because they were poor and that is all she could work with, it was a coat of love. Our clown coats/jackets are a sign of love also, its based on fun, fellowship and Masonic Princi-pals of Brotherly Love, truth and relief. Its like our clown faces, no two are alike, and so its with our coats/jackets, no two are alike. The next time you see a rainbow in the sky, you may follow it to the end and find a Shrine Clown with his Jacket and Fez on and you would truly have found a Pot of Gold.... I'm just saying.

See you down the trail! RODEO
