Nobles and Ladies
As you read this article, we
have come to the end of
Fire Prevention month. Did
you do it yet? I'm sure
you’re asking me what! Did
you change the batteries
in your smoke detector?
This simple act could save
your life. Too often we
simply forget this extremely
important
function.
In
October you should have heard "change your clocks,
change your batteries", I hope you did it! If you’re
interested in helping out with our Burn Prevention
Program, please call Elliot at 920-671-4708 or email him
at bejashrinebp@gmail.com.
Within a week, we will be having our 2016 Parade to
Glory. This is an opportunity for our Clubs, Units, Ladies
groups and Individuals to announce their donations to our
fraternity and our philanthropy. If you haven’t made your
final decision on a donation, I would like to remind you to
consider supporting the Trustees Rainy Day Operations
Fund. We a currently taking monies out of this fund to pay
the bills at Beja for the remainder of the year. Please
make sure to make your RSVP’s for dinner we want to
make sure we have enough food for everyone. Cost is $5
to help offset our expense. Lady Dawn and I will be
preparing and coordinating this meal as our special thank
you to all of you for what you have done for us and Beja
this year. We will also be announcing the Club of the Year,
Unit of the Year and Shriner of the Year at this meeting.
Our Fall Ceremonial is scheduled at the NEW Masonic
Center for Saturday, November 5th. Gary Fehl, is our
Fall Ceremonial Honoree. Current membership numbers
have us at a minus for 2016. What a great honor to Gary
if we can make this fall ceremonial a large success with a
large class and in turn make our Temple a Gold (positive
growth) for 2016. Currently there are 257,012 Shriners
throughout the world. This year current membership is
12,000 less than last year. You can make a difference.
New members would be great, but please don't forget
those members we have lost. Let’s get our brothers back
into this great fraternity. It’s not too late, we will be
processing petitions up to the day of the ceremonial.
It’s not too late to sell sportsman’s raffle tickets. The
money raised from the raffle goes directly into the
operations fund for 2017. With all the comments we have
received as well as the audit from the State, we made a
Continued in the next column
few minor changes. This year we are calling it a
Sportsman's Raffle. Once again the winner will receive a
gift card in the amount to be used at Gander Mountain for
any sportsman purchase. Each ticket can only win once,
so there will be twenty different ticket winners. The cost of
the tickets are $20. The drawing is on Saturday, November
12th at Beja. You can get your tickets at Beja. Please help
our Chief Rabban Greg Habeck with his 2017 budget by
selling tickets and making this year’s raffle an
overwhelming success.
I would like to congratulate everyone who helped out with
this year’s haunted house. The Green Bay Fear was a
wonderful success in many ways. Just think how many
people experienced a little of what we do here at Beja.
From the staff who managed the haunt, to the volunteers
who served as actors for the haunt, to the Nobles and
Ladies who helped out parking cars and taking tickets,
THANK YOU. Next time you’re at Beja, please look at our
new Data projector. This was a donation to Beja from our
Haunters Guild.
Fraternally,

Greetings Ladies,
I hope your finding this fall season enjoyable. The colors
are coming out and there will be a short window for the
beautiful scenery free for our taking. I again would like to
congratulate the Daughters of the Nile and the Ladies of
Beja for their wonderful fashion show. I had the wonderful
opportunity to represent Gene at the Honored Ladies
luncheon. This was an absolutely wonderful opportunity to
visit with our honored Ladies. The meal was fantastic and
I would like to thank Nick Brosig for making the lasagna.
The entertainment was great, Thanks Woody!, and I would
also like to personally thank Jim Vandehey for his donation
to help fund this year’s event.
In October, Mary Habeck and I attended the Tripoli
Fashion show and had the opportunity to visit with all of
the Ladies of the Tripoli Divan. This was a great
opportunity to learn what the Ladies of Tripoli do together.
The fashion show was a lot of fun and we had some great
conversations. One of the highlights of this year is meeting
the ladies from all of our sister temples.
At our October meeting Chief Rabban Greg Habeck and
Lady Mary presented their 2017 Beja year. It looks like a
lot of fun and excitement. I would encourage you to look at
his calendar and get as many of these events on your own
calendar. Participation at these events not only makes
them more fun, but it brings us all closer together in
support of Beja and Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Our Fall Ceremonial is upon us. The Ceremonial will be
held on Saturday November 5th. I invite you to join us for
the afternoon as we welcome in our newest Noble’s
Ladies. We will be meeting at Beja at noon for a lunch. A
short program will be presented highlighting our hospitals
and the care we give. We will then be leaving Beja to go
to a local craft show. We will return to Beja to join our
Nobles for cocktails and hors d'œuvre and the Fezzing
ceremony. I hope you can join us.
Next time you come to Beja, please look at the new bench
out front by the main entrance. This bench was purchased
with the money collected at our December 2015 meeting on
behalf of Zilpha Kerr. Michelle Pauli asked the ladies to
support this concept. With the money, we purchased the
bench and made a donation to the Green Bay Auxiliary.
In closing, I hope you can join us at our November meeting
and the Parade to Glory. This is a great opportunity to highlight
the work that everyone does for Beja and our hospitals.
With Love, Lady Dawn
CHAPLAIN’S
CORNER
November brings us a special
national holiday called Thanksgiving Day. It will be Thursday,
November 24, 2016. Its roots go
back to the earliest English settlers
who had survived a devastating first year in this new land.
The second year was a fruitful year in providing
abundantly for the needs of the people. It moved them to
proclaim a Day of Thanksgiving and celebration for the
goodness and blessing of God.
For us in this year 2016, I adopt the following from the
writing of Brett Younger to share with you:
“It is not what we get that determines the quality of our
lives; it is how we interpret what we get that counts. Life
doesn’t come to us directly; it is mediated through our
points of view, our mind-sets, our assumptions. The
attitude of thanksgiving is recommended by many sources
that talk about a life of quality. Thanksgiving is the door to
a sacred life.
Gratitude alters our priorities and makes us live gratefully.
Thanksgiving encompasses our whole lives. Gratitude
points our minds in God’s direction and lifts us out of the
fog of self-absorption. It broadens our perspective and
strengthens our confidence in God’s faithfulness. It
enables us to rejoice, even when life is hard. Gratitude is
the secret of hopeful people.
If we live in gratitude we will ask God to inspire our
thoughts, remove our bitterness, broaden our
perspectives, make us grateful, be with us in our listening
and in our speech, in company and in solitude, in the
freshness of morning and in the weariness of evening.
Praying with thanks-giving leads us to recognize God’s
grace and to rejoicing in God’s presence. Whether you
are feeling happy as a turkey who has made it to the day
after Thanksgiving or like you are locked up in some
prison with no release in sight, remember the goodness of
God and give thanks.”
Yours in the faith, Rev. Myron E. Christensen

shopping.

for a great cookie recipe and plan your baking. More

charges? Never seem to buy the correct size or color?
NOW certificates are the perfect solution to your holiday
giving problems. The receiver will know you really care
about Shrine Hospitals for Children (and be glad to not
have to stand in a return line later). Contact our Pr.

October Beja Meeting Photos
News from Shriners
Hospital Chicago
Meet Cody,
When Cody Conroy was born with a bi-lateral cleft lip and
cleft palate, his mother wasn’t sure where to turn for help.
The hospital near their Rapid City, South Dakota home did
not have the specialists onsite to perform the surgeries or
offer the follow-up care Cody needed. So, until age nine
Cody’s speech was extremely delayed.
A large group of Nobles, Ladies, and guests were present to hear the
plans for the 2017 Beja year.
“I did not like talking to or being
around people. I was very shy
and aware of my speech
condition, and it was hard,” said
Cody.
Working as a hairdresser, Cody’s
mother had a client who asked
about her son’s condition. She
went on to say that she knew
Shriners Hospitals for Children
Chicago had an excellent cleft lip
and palate and plastic surgery
team, and the Conroys soon
booked an appointment.
Chief Rabban Greg Habeck presented his program for next year.
Cody Conroy, now age 20,
visits the Shriners CLP and
plastics team
Cody underwent several surgeries at the hospital,
including a bone graft surgery to repair his cleft palate, and
reconstructive surgery on his nose, teeth and mouth. He
followed up with speech therapy at home and school and
was soon speaking very clearly – for the first time in his
life.
“I never thought I would speak normally or that my
condition would get better,” said Cody. “And wow, it sure
did.”
Orthopaedics Plastic Surgery/Cleft Lip and Palate
Rehabilitation/Spinal Cord Injury
Noble Dave Gerlach and Lady Carol greeted the membership.
The multi-disciplinary plastics team at the Chicago
Shriners Hospital includes speech language pathologists,
audiologists, plastic surgeons, orthodontists, nurses and
nurse practitioners, care coordinators, ENT surgeons, and
more. The goal is to look at the needs of the child in their
entirety and offer a treatment plan that is individualized for
each patient, which is what Cody says he is grateful for.
“My advice to any child in my situation is for them to know
that it will get better, and the people at Shriners can help.
They do excellent, excellent work, and I’m thankful for how
they’ve changed my life.”

GREEN BAY SHRINE CLUB
DENNIS PAULI – PRESIDENT
Greetings to all,
October came and left in what seemed to be a bit of a
rush.. All the Clubs and Units should be discussing and
thinking about their contribution to the Parade to Glory at
the November meeting. The Potentate and the Trustees
have been pushing for donations to the “Rainy Day” fund.
With November fast approaching, everyone should be
thinking about candidates for the Fall Ceremonial on
November 5th. Don’t forget about our Sportsman’s Raffle
(gun raffle). The 12th is the day of the drawing. You do
need a ticket to win. Beja needs lots of tickets sold to
enable us to give our new Potentate a good financial
cushion to start 2017 with.
Try to be good as Christmas and Santa are not far away.
He will be watching to see who is naughty and who is nice.
Don’t go for the lump of coal in your stocking.
Beja’s oldest Shrine Club continues to meet at the
Stadium View every Friday at noon. Social time begins at
11:30 AM. Lunch is served at 12:00 noon. The Club
invites everyone to come and join us. Bring your Lady
along and have lunch with us.
Note: There will be no meeting the day after thanksgiving.
Fraternally,
Dennis Pauli, President
Now is the time to take a personal inventory of your
accomplishments as a Shriner during the last year. Those
of you who sat on the sidelines and guarded the water
bucket should be really ready to perform next year. Those
of you who got in the game and did what Shriners are
supposed to do are planning for next years fun, fellowship
and participation. Every one has 24 hours,1,440 minutes
and 86,400 seconds in each day. How do you spend
them? How many have you devoted to being a Shriner?
Once they are spent there is no chance to get any back.
Take a good look at your plan and make your 2017 New
Year’s resolution early. We need you now. Membership
numbers are falling. If you are one of many who need
something to hide behind, join our Krazy Kop Unit and we
will put you in a Keystone Kop Uniform with a red nose and
beard or mustache or a convict suit, to hide behind while
you move down the parade routes arresting parade
watchers and putting them in jail for a short ride and then

GREG HABECk – PRESIDENT
Nobles, Ladies and Friends,
As Tuesday, November 8th and the Presidential Election,
approaches; I have been reminded of these words of
wisdom:
“Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right
to vote except the American people themselves and the
only way they could do this is by not voting.”
– Franklin D. Roosevelt
“And so we shall have to do more than register and more
than vote; we shall have to create leaders who embody
virtues we can respect, who have moral and ethical
principles we can applaud with enthusiasm.”
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
“The efforts of the government alone will never be enough.
In the end, the people must choose and the people must
help themselves.”
– John F. Kennedy
“To make democracy work, we cannot be only observers.
He who does not vote has no right to complain.”
- Louis L ’Amour
