Well, finally Spring is here! Come visit your Temple and you will see what changes has been done.
Building looks good and the grounds are being cleaned up as I write this article.
Parade season is just around the corner. We will be publishing here the parade dates for most of the
Units so we can all support and watch them in the parades.
Lady Dixie and I attended the Oriental Shriners, Potentate’s Ball & Ceremonial in Saratoga Springs last March 28-29. The theme for the weekend was “Circus”, we had a good time. I came in as a Ringmaster/Magician and Lady Dixie as my Assistant/Performer. (Picture at the end of this article).
Shriners Children’s Boston and Shriners New England in Springfield invited Temples for a visit which took place last April 11. 20 people signed up so we rented a bus since parking will be hard in Boston. It was an eye-opening and humbling experience as we toured the facilities. We got to listen to the patient’s experiences in each facility. Lady Dixie and I extend our Thanks to those who attended.
April 22-24, Lady Dixie and I are heading to Montreal for their Hospital Seminar.
Please look for flyers for all the upcoming activities of our Temple, if there’s any interest, call the office to get more details.
Please don’t forget to support the Bektash Breakfast buffet which will fall on Mother’s Day, May 10th. Please spread the word, this is open to the public. (see the flyer in this issue)
Fun & Fellowship will commence on May 8th with a Tacos and Tequila night, sounds like a fun night. Please mark your calendar with the dates.
Don’t forget, WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, helping kids and the hospital while having fun and enjoying it too.
Lady Dixie and I appreciate you all.
Fraternally,
Ken Thoroughgood
