Nobles, I would like to thank all the Units who so
kindly gave, to support the Temple at the last Unit
Head Meeting. Your generosity has no boundaries. I was very Humbled by your show of support.
In light of the current situation, we are still looking
for a treasurer. So if you are willing to accept the
challenges of the position please give me a call. I am
scheduling a Special Meeting for FRIDAY AUGUST
12, 2016 at 7:00 PM all members are encouraged to
attend. We will be discussing the current state of Ali
Ghan and a follow up to the Unit Heads meeting
from last month. The Car / Bike show had to be rescheduled due to thunderstorms, so we look forward
to the event being rescheduled. We will announce
the new date as soon as possible. Once again thank
you for your continued support. Through working
together we will finish 2016 strong.

Please take notice on your next visit to the Temple or Motor Corp.
They are spruced up on both sides of the entry way to our building.
It sure makes a great improvement. No more weeds for a long time
and thanks to all who helped!!
There was a good turnout for the patient family picnic last month.
Our fire truck appears to have an issue. Hopefully it will be on the
road soon, thanks to Bert! The ambulance is ready and again a big

For the drivers who attended the 4th of July (rain) parade, we had a
ball. Rain began around 10:41am and the parade was at 11:00. It
was a good turn out for the weather condition and we all got
soaked. So never let it be said that it doesn't rain on a Shriner parade.
Dates to remember–
August 1– Spaghetti feed at the RR Unit
August 12– Kool Klown Nite– Oakland, MD.
There are just a few tickets left
Call the Shrine Club!
Our condolences go to the family of Departed brother, Bob
