“GUARDIAN OF OUR CHILDREN”Egypt Shriners Clubs and Units Meeting Dates

Reginald James Guier

Egypt Shriners Potentate 2018

Dear Brother Nobles and Ladies,

The month of March was a very Busy month in so many ways. Egypt Shrine members continued to show

the support to the widows and family of the numerous departed Nobles during our Memorial Service.

Assistant Rabban, Dean DiLeo and his committee, Legion of Honor, Greeters and Ladies without Nobles

all assisted in making March 11th a special day. Thank you for all that attended and a special thanks to

Holyrood Lodge and Scottish Rite for their assistance in providing the facility.

Egypt Shrine Sultans continued spread our message to the community by participating in the St. Patrick’s

Day Parade. Many Nobles were invited and joined the Sultans in their 4th parade in the last two month.

Great times were had by one and all.

Your Divan traveled though out the month and attended the monthly meeting of the Highlands Shrine Club enjoying a great group

of dedicated Shriners in helping each other in the Community and our Hospital. We as the Divan continued to journey to Blue Lodge

meetings and speak to fellow brother Mason and Shriners informing them of the fun in our Fraternity and advancements in our

Philanthropy. Please remember to ask a fellow Brother in your Blue Lodge to Join the Shrine so he can enjoy all that we do.

The end of March came quick with a nice Installation of Janine Green as Queen of Elim Temple No, 76. All members of Egypt Shrine

wish you and all the Members of the Daughters of the Nile a successful year.

Don’t forget to take time and come out to join your fellow members who will be out for our 53rd Annual Egypt Shrine Circus. The circus

will be April 12 – 15, 2018 at the Entertainment Hall of the Florida State Fair Gounds. The First Lady’s project this year is replacing the

Circus Trailer. The proceeds from the 100 year Pin, Hat and Good Life Bedsheets will accomplish this venture.

Your Shrine continues to Grow and the opportunity to hear about the future for Egypt Shrine is reported during your stated meeting on

the second Wednesday of the Month at Centro Asturiano. Please

join us to learn more about your future Building and events.

My Brothers, together we can show everyone that this is indeed

the world’s greatest fraternity.

Peace be with you, my brothers (Es Selamu Aleikum).

MEMBERSHIPNobles, it has been an exciting year for us so far. Kicking off our Centennial year under Illustrious Sir Reggie Guier, Egypt has doubled down on membership! This year not only saw Egypt’s Sultans march in the Gasparilla parade of pirates (now the 3rd largest parade in America), but also an expanded online initiative. Between “beashrinernow.com” and “webfez.shrinenet.org”, your membership committee is pushing each noble to engage young men and masons and provide their information to our system. This will enable us to help you engage your prospects in fellowship, fun, and community events.

By engaging new men in person they will feel the sense of fun, excitement, and humility of our great cause and with their eventual membership, Egypt Shrine will become stronger for it. We need each of our Nobles to help us by using the tools we’re making available to you, and we urge you to check out our featured weekly podcasts on our Shrine homepage. Our 100th year is about being proactive and setting the stage for another century of fraternity, philanthropy, and support of our hospital system!

We hope you and your prospects were able to make it out for the Sant’Yago Illuminated Knight Parade and look forward to seeing you at the Rough Riders St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Bring your fellow masons and prospects along and show them some of the fun they could be enjoying as Nobles of our order!

Scottish Rite NewsBy Worshipful Casey Fletcher 32°, KCCH

A good story is instructional, thought-provoking and enjoyable.

Stories may entertain or relax us or they might challenge us.

They can be intense mysteries or imaginative fantasies.

Sometimes stories are a comedy, sometimes a tragedy,

sometimes a life lesson.

The Scottish Rite continues the story (stories) of the Symbolic

Lodge. The Eighth Degree, Intendant of the Building, recounts

the story of the selection of the successor(s) to Hiram Abiff . We

were left hanging at the end for the Master Mason degree. The

Hiramic Legend doesn’t tell us anything about the Temple’s

completion or who assumed leadership after our Grand Master

was gone; indeed, the Temple is not completed in the 3rd

degree.

The Eighth Degree continues the story and in doing so off ers

valuable learning moments. Its ideas set us to thinking about

succession planning, leadership, teaching, the importance

of exemplary conduct, cultural continuity and even some

suggestions about the proper relationship of labor and

management. The Eighth Degree is good story replete with

concepts and lessons to contemplate.

The principal characters in this degree are Solomon, who does

not look so wise, and Hiram, King of Tyre, who does.

Five craftsmen are selected to complete the building of the

Temple after the death of the Grand Master: Zelec, Satolkin,

Gared, Yehu-Aber and Adoniram. All fi ve of these Craftsmen

reappear in the Ninth and Tenth Degrees, Elu of the Nine

and Elu of the Fifteen; Satolkin and Yehu-Aber are present in

the lessons of the Eleventh and Twelfth Degrees, Elu of the

Twelve and Master Architect. They are rejoined by Adoniram

to play prominent roles in the Thirteenth Degree, Royal Arch of

Solomon.

Four important, practical lessons are gleaned from this degree:

• the necessity of orderly succession planning, the thoughtful

transfer of power, responsibility and authority; this is a

concept to consider when we next elect a Junior Warden,

• cultural continuity – passing down not just skills, but

traditions and mortality and ethics, perhaps one of the

principal aims of Freemasonry,

• economic order – how management and labor interact; this

degree contains many passages from the VSL and reminds

us to “pay the Craft their wages, if any be due,” and

• what we learn should not die with us; what we learn, we

should share and pass on. Hiram Abiff did not keep his

knowledge to himself – he shared – he taught.

Although the Temple was completed without him – it was

completed as a direct result of the lessons exemplifi ed in this

degree.

The 8th degree is a powerful, instructional degree and is a fi tting

sequel to the Master Mason degree.

The Valley of Tampa regularly meets at its Center in Tampa on the 2nd Monday of each month. Dinner is served at 5:45 PM. At our April 9th meeting, our annual Remembrance and Renewal ceremony will commemorate our Brethren who passed during the last year. The 8th degree will be conferred on August 13th at 6:10 PM. Our next Reunion, for inducting new members, is May 5th and 6th. Petitions are at http://tampascottishrite.org/w/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/tpa-scottish-rite-petition.pdf.

Casey Fletcher is Past Master of Tuscan Lodge No. 6 in Bartow, Florida. He did not get the succession planning thing quite right the fi rst time, so he is in the East again this year.

Hospital Tour Guide NewsBy Noble Frank Harmon, Chief Tour Guide

Joseph Khoury M.D. is one of the fi nest young Doctors in the

country and we are delighted to have him on the medical staff of

Shriners Hospitals for Children Tampa.

At our hospital, he is one of the Orthopaedic Surgeons who

specialize in the “Mehta casting” procedure which was featured

in the Sands Magazine in September of 2017. “Mehta casting”

was developed by Orthopaedic Surgeon Min H. Mehta M.D.,

F.R.D.S. and is a procedure that involves applying a cast that

looks like a plaster jacket around the child’s body. The cast is

applied to the child while under anesthesia and remains in place

for two or three months depending on how well the spinal curve

improves. The procedure may not be applicable to all cases of

scoliosis but, when it is, surgery can often be delayed or not

done at all.

Dr. Khoury is a die-hard Hawkeye having been born and raised

in Iowa City, Iowa. He went to college and attended medical

school at the University of Iowa and did his Orthopedic Surgery

residency there also. His fellowship in Pediatric Orthopedics

was done at the Atlanta Scottish Rite Hospital.

Dr. Khoury’s fi rst job out of school was at SHC in Erie,

Pennsylvania in 2004 but, left in 2007 due to the hospital being

restructured as an outpatient facility. Dr. Khoury then worked at

Children’s of Alabama from 2007 to 2017. Although he enjoyed

that job, he “missed the Shriner way of doing things.” Finally, the

right opportunity and timing presented itself in 2017 to return to

the Shriner system but, this time, in the much nicer climate of

Tampa. Dr. Khoury started at SHC-Tampa in January of 2017 and

says that “it is great to be back.”

Dr. Khoury said “the best thing about being back at Shriners

is being able to focus on caring for the kids rather than

administrative hassles, billing, insurance and all the other things

that get in the way. All that matters is making sure that the

kids get what they need to succeed.” Dr. Khoury sure seems

to understand our mission statement and has a good Masonic

Sands Magazine - April 2018 • 7

working history. Hmmmm, I wonder if he would be interested in

a “square and compass”.

Dr. Khoury enjoys all aspects of Pediatric Orthopedics but

especially enjoys Mehta casting, clubfeet and other foot

problems and caring for kids with Cerebral Palsy. Dr. Khoury said

“in my free time, I like to be outdoors with my family, fi sh, tinker

on and around the house and walk around the neighborhood

with my dog.”

When you see him around the hospital be sure to say hi. You will

fi nd Dr. Khoury to be very friendly and approachable. Welcome

to our family.

Club News

Highlands Shrine ClubBy Noble Jerry Higginbotham

Greetings from the Ridge. It is with sadness that we must report

the passing of two of our members, Nobles Ken Williams and

Nevelle Reynolds. Noble Ken was a Past Master at the Sebring

Lodge and a Past President of the Shrine Club. Noble Nevelle

was from Indiana and while here helped in many of the Shrine

Club activities. Both Nobles will be missed and we send

condolences to the families.

Wow! March was a busy month for the club with our St. Patrick’s

social. We had 26 Ladies and Nobles who displayed their green

for the occasion and of course the meal was Corn beef and

Cabbage. Lady Janette had a very ,. interesting history of St.

Patrick and St. Patrick’s Day. Needless to say a good time was

had by all.

In other March activities, a Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser was held

on March 21st which was successful, but details are not available

at this time. Also, planned is a bus trip to the Shrine Hospital in

Tampa for some of our friends that helped us recover after the

hurricane. Based on availability, nobles and their ladies may go

for a fee to be determined. If you and your Lady would like to go,

call Noble Howard Craddock for details and made a reservation.

Noble Howard’s telephone number is 863 453-3615.

We are very appreciative of all our northern nobles and friends

who continue to support our weekly activities of Saturday

Morning $5.00 Breakfasts, fl ea markets, and shrine stores

operations, Tuesday Cards, Wednesday morning coff ees, Friday

Darts and Bunco the 4th Tuesday of the month.

Our April Social will be on Saturday, April 14th. Check the

newsletter for the theme for April. One thing for sure, it will be

a really fun night so make your reservations right away if you

have not already done so. Call the Shrine offi ce and leave your

reservation on the answering machine at 863 382-2208.

Also, Nobles and Masons don’t forget if you are traveling to or

thru Highlands County with a motor home or RV, please keep

the Shrine Club in mind for an overnight stay or longer if you

prefer. We have 4 spaces with electricity and water located

on our grounds in shaded areas. These accommodations

are reserved for Nobles and Masons only, at a very nominal

donation. So nobles and brothers, set your GPS in our direction.

We are located at 2604 State Road 17, Avon Park, and Fl. For

more information, call our club at 863 382-2208, leave your

name & telephone number and we will get back to you shortly.

In closing, we urge all of our Nobles and Ladies to plan to

support your club more in 2018 by helping with activities and

attending the socials, business meeting, special activities, etc.

These activities are planned for you but your support is needed

to have a successful year. Remember, this is your club. Isn’t it

great to be a Shriner! Until next month, God Bless.

Eldridge, Welcome Randy. Randy enjoyed the special induction

the event. This summer the Pinellas Shrine Club will be hosting

a fantastic social Event, more details to follow. Next important

event is the 53 Annual Egypt Shrine Circus, we look forward to

seeing you there.

Showmen’sShrine ClubBy Noble Chuck Mayo

Another month is gone and only 1/2 of a month to go and our

season will be over. This has been a good year. And speaking

of a good year our bumper cars are back on the road, will most

of them. One of them burnt up on Sunday so we now have 7

until we have a replacement. However, all 7 were on the road in

Plant City’s Strawberry Festival Parade banging and a bumping

into each other. We had a good turnout for the parade and we

all had a great time. By the time you read this they will have

been in a couple more parades, we will have had another work

project and a Appreciation

dinner. Our new President,

John Sutterly is conducting

a very good meeting and

we once again are ending

our meetings with a good

laugh. We look forward to a

great year starting in the fall

and would like to welcome

all Shriners to join us.

Unit News

PharaohsBy Noble Jim Rocha

President Dave Anderson reminds us that our meetings are now

on the 4th Wednesdays at 7:30 at Centro Asturiano. Director

James Lich has a plan for competition next month, but has been

hard to fi nd a place. In the words of Gary Oldman: “never give

in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great

or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of

honour and good sense.”

Lastly, Pharaohs meeting on April 25 in the 2nd fl oor library,

Centro basement beforehand. Peace be with you.

Provost GuardBy Noble Tom Edwards PP

Thanks to all the Guard members and ladies who supported the

February Fair Day at the Florida State Fair. We had a great time

escorting buses, serving hot dogs and cokes, covering rides, and

arranging for the children to enjoy the Fair. The Guard helped

make this a special day for those children and adults. That’s

what we are all about! We also want to thank all the Guardsmen

who supported the Farm Night BBQ Parking Event in February.

What a great time was had by all!

Have you ever taken the time to look at the back of a dollar bill?

It should remind us of the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. The

“Great Seal” on the left and the Latin words tell us a new nation

has begun as it emerges from a revolution. Another quotation

around the top of the pyramid says “He (God) has favored our

undertaking.” The pyramid suggests something of Egypt slavery.

At the bottom is a “seeing eye” – a symbol of God’s watch over

a new land of freedom. There are thirteen blocks of the pyramid

to correspond to the thirteen original colonies.

On the right hand side is a fl oral medallion with an eagle on

top. Thirteen stars can be seen and the eagle is a replica of the

America fl ag with a vertical row of thirteen stripes emblematic of

the thirteen colonies.

The eagle once considered the symbol of America holds an

olive branch in one of its talons, the symbol of peace. The

other talon holds either arrows or sheaves of wheat, symbols of

military preparedness or growing industry. Around the head of

the eagle is written “E Pluribus Unum” meaning out of many one

nation. At the center are the words “In God We Trust” which are

words not written by chance.

If you missed the March 21st Provost Guard Covered Dish Dinner

and Meeting you missed a great night out. Green was the color

of the night. Thank you to all the Provost Ladies for their favorite

dish! And a special “Tip of the Fez” to the Chef for a great meal.

It will be a busy April with Stated Meeting, Lodge Visits, and the

2018 Shrine Circus April 12-15. Remember our commitment to

Membership and get those petitions into the offi ce for the Spring

Ceremonial. The Guard’s challenge is to get new members for

the Shrine. Let’s go Guard!

All Nobles in good standing are welcome to join with the Egypt

Shrine Provost Guard. We meet on the third Wednesday of each

month 7:30 P.M. at Centro Asturiano. Come out and join with us.
