We brought eight new Nobles into the Shrine, with an afterglow following at Sandusky Elks, which was well attended. I would like to thank Nobles Joe Radocy and Steve Hessler for all their help in arranging and making this event possible. To our Director Stan Hoffman, the Dramatic Cast, members of the Divan and Past Potentates thank you for your support and continue love for our fraternity. Now with all that being said Nobles, if you remember I mentioned in the May Hadji that if each club or unit could set a goal to recruit two or three new Nobles we could have 84 new Nobles to fill the fort at Camp Masonry. Well, now, with the eight we just bought in, we only need “76” to reach our goal for Camp Masonry on August 9, located at Camp Miakonda, 5600 W. Sylvania Avenue, Toledo. So Nobles see, with your help, anything is possible. The sky has no limit! Thursday, June 13, will be the stated meeting, summer picnic and Past Potentate Night. I am honored to inform you that we will have Imperial Sir Bernard Lemieux, Past Potentate (1995) of Zenobia, in attendance. Be sure to give him a great Zenobia welcome. Just a reminder Nobles, on Friday, June 14, at 6 p.m., we will be having a Friendship Night at Zenobia Shrine Center. I highly encour- age all of you to invite anyone who you think would benefit from our great fraternity, Masons or non-Masons. There will be a great presentation on Freemasonry and history on the Shrine by Noble Troy Hawkins. Dinner will be provided at no cost to the new prospective member or sponsor. So, please plan to attend this great event. I would like to thank Illustrious Sir Keith Tuttle, the Onion Com- mittee, clubs and units for all their hard work and dedication in mak- ing this year’s onion campaign a great success. Without your help this would not have been possible. Finally, I would encourage you to support the various events scheduled throughout the summer. They are all listed in the Hadji for you reference.

We only had onions at the building for 10 days and then they were gone. Zenobia conducted a ceremo- nial in Sandusky on May 11. We created eight new Nobles. We welcome Nobles Thomas Au- rand, Nelson Fontanez, Sam Jacob, Mike Jazwiecki, Rick Pierce, Norm Sharp, Dustin Terry and John Wells. Our next ceremonial will be at Camp Ma- sonry, Friday, August 9. The cer- emonial will be conducted outside at Camp Miakonda dur- ing Camp Masonry. There is a meal that evening before Cere- monial. Check with a Divan member for details. Petitions welcome.

It got me thinking that life is some- what like that. Days are dreary and often the chill of tasks un- done cloud our minds. But, then the sun of the promise of tomor- row dispels the gloom and we look toward the brightness of a new day. We think of our Ma- sonic vows for “More Light” and know there is much that needs to be done. Brothers, look around you. Look to those places where the light of Shrine/Masonry can be the light in the life of a friend. If we truly believe the vows we have made to be better men, we must share the message and tell the world of the Shrine’s good effect. While membership may be of significant importance, our call to serve is even greater. Our communities need men good and true. Our boys and girls need a healing and helping hand. We each need this fraternity that makes good men better. The cold and rain will pass away, but with the help of the Great Creator the sun will shine and the clouds will lift and life will find new blessings. See you in September. Peace, Hugh W.

It was very impressivewith the World War II aircraft,boats, Jeeps, trucks, motorcycles(American, as well as German,even a few Japanese items) inaddition to all of the displays. Ican not skip over the restorationof the Tin Goose that is, and hasbeen, going on for a number ofyears. That is worth the tour allby itself.
