THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF BOUMI SHRINE • BALTIMORE, MARYLAND JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2015 Boumi Shriners and Ladies with Illustrious Sir Wm. Raymond Bosley Jr. and Lady Anita on the Rhine River Cruise in Europe Business Sessions of Boumi Shrine June 13, 2015 – 9 a.m. – Business Meeting and Ceremonial September 3, 2015 – 7:30 p.m. – Business Meeting Inside: 8 Welcome New Members! 18-19 Full-Color Event Photos 22-24 June/July/August Calendar JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2015 3 ES-SELAMU ALEIKUM . . . GREETINGS TO ALL NOBLES AND LADIES OF BOUMI TEMPLE, B y the time you read this, spring will almost be over with summer on its way. March was busy with Past Potentate Paul Reinke Jr.’s testimonial, as well as the Bull and Oyster Roast that was chaired by Past Potentate Charles Johnston. Thanks to his efforts, everyone had a great time. Once again, the Easter Party for the little ones was a great success. Our Clowns deserve a big thank you for all of their hard work in entertaining the children. And, thanks to Chairman Tom Downey, everyone enjoyed the great show at Sight and Sound. After the April business meeting, where we obligated 26 new Boumi Shriners, over 50 members and our ladies ventured to Europe for a cruise down the Rhine River. Thanks to the early efforts of Chairman Fred Reitz, P.P., who unfortunately had some health issues and could not travel, everyone had a super time. While we were gone, the younger generation had the ’80s dance, which was chaired by Assistant Rabban Mark Hartz. We are told that it was a packed house and the joint was jumping. Hats off to Mark and his group for making it a success. Support the Boumi Carnival June 1–6. Come out with friends and family and enjoy the evening, which includes good entertainment and refreshments for everyone. Don’t forget the business meeting/ceremonial on June 13—let’s hope we have a large group of candidates. Keep asking your Blue Lodge to invite our membership team to give a presentation about the Shrine. Chairman Ernie Palmer, oriental guide, and his team are primed and ready; and if they cannot be present, Chief Ambassador Ed DeWaters and some of the Past Potentates will be happy to attend. The Golf Classic is on July 13 at the Hunt Valley Golf Club. See the ad on page 13 and get your foursome signed up. We still have seats left on the bus trips this fall, as well as on the Transatlantic Cruise in October. Call the chairmen and join us. The Sportsmen’s Day tickets are available and need to be sold to your family and friends if it is to be successful. And lastly, don’t forget to sign up for the Beer Brigade! Call Chairman Ray Link. (You can also ask him about MASA in September.) As we have said before, there is always something happening at Boumi Shrine, where your families and friends can have a great time doing whatever it may be on that day. Remember, you come, too, and we can all HELP KEEP the FAITH. Yours in faith, Wm. Raymond Bosley Jr. Illustrious Potentate PAST POTENTATES 1884 1885–89 1890 1891 1892–98 1902–06 1907–09 1910–12 1913–14 1915 1916–18 1919 1920 1921–22 1925 1926–28 1929–30 1931 1932–33 1934 1935 1936 1937–38 1939–40 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 1949 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THOMAS McCOUBRAY JR.

They have been going out and speaking at any lodge that asks them. Talk to the Master of your lodge and get him to ask the Potentate and the Membership Committee to come join you. Or, you can help by speaking to your lodge yourself. The idea is to show the lodges that we are interested in them, not just in taking someone away from them. Over the summer, when things slow down, is a great time to work on getting new members. It is a time when all of us have a little less to do and we can focus more on membership. Remember, we have averaged a little over 10 new members a month this year. Now as things slow down and we travel on vacations and other trips, never forget to be careful so that we all can return together in the fall. May God Bless and keep each and every one of you in the palm of his hand until we meet again in the fall. Ed 73rd Mid-Atlantic Shrine Convention Virginia Beach, Va.

Reynolds Dustin Dane Daugherty George B. Little Robert Leroy Hosier III William Irving Taylor Jr. Travis Wayne Morgan Mark Alan Alexander James Edward Hart III Timothy John Candler You are now a member of this very Illustrious Shrine, and we urge that you take advantage of its many privileges. Activities are diversified and continuous at Boumi Shrine. Designed mainly to stimulate fun, joy and good fellowship, it is ever the aim of our offices and committees to plan for every Noble’s interest and pleasure. That you will join active participation in Boumi Shrine’s functions is our sincere hope. Your interest and inclusion are certain to bring you the full share of dividends to which every Boumi Noble is entitled. Knights of Mecca Colonel’s Staff Noble Donald C. Lewis Colonel Well, here we are with the year half gone and the best part is yet to come. We, as Boumi Shriners, have been busy with the parades. The first was Glen Bernie in May, which is always a nice little parade to start the season off; June 28 is the Hereford parade; July 4 is the Catonsville parade; and let’s not forget the Imperial Parade on July 7 in Houston, Texas. I guess it pays sometimes to cancel meetings. That is just what we had to do for the March Unit Heads meeting due to bad weather. So we called a special meeting for April and what a turn out—of 15 units, 9 were present and 3 clubs also showed up. Nobles, we had 35 to 40 present that night, which is the most who have attended in the past three years. Let’s keep it up. On June 13, Boumi will hold a Business Meeting and Ceremonial. This starts at 9 a.m. We have more than 36 new members who will be taking part in this ceremonial. As members of Boumi, we need to show them what we are all about. Come out and support the Knights of Mecca as they do the work and meet these new members. Make them feel at home in Boumi. At the Spring MASA in March, it was announced that the temples who have units in competition as well as in the parade will receive 50 extra points--last year we only received five. To the motorized units, it is not how fast you do your demonstration but how safe you do it. Last year, again, a spectator almost got hit, which we do not want to happen. To all the nobles and their ladies, the Illustrious Sir and the Boumi units have many events planned for the year. Join in and enjoy the great fellowship we call “Shrinedom.” Noble Kostas “Gus” Vourvoulas President I’m sure many of you have wondered, “Where are the Knights of Mecca?” “Are they still a part of the Shrine?” Well, indeed we are still alive and very healthy residing in our beautiful Boumi Shrine Temple. The Knights of Mecca has been very active as the ritual team that represents the Potentate and the Shrine in Blue Lodges conferring the Master Mason degree. The purpose of the Knights of Mecca is to build a closer relationship with all Masonic bodies, especially the Blue Lodges, and to emphasize that there is an intimate connection between Shrinedom and Masonry. We pride ourselves on the work we do and make every effort to make our visit a learning and enjoyable experience to every lodge we attend. Since March of 2008, the Knights of Mecca have conferred the Master Mason Degree on over 200 Brothers. If your lodge would like to have the Knights of Mecca visit and confer the Master Mason Degree, or if you are a Past Master who enjoys participating in ritual work and would like to join us, please contact Noble Bob Chase, second vice president, at 410-916-6528 or pastmaster2002@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

Nobles Walter “Jack” Carew, Ken Nickoles and Sam McConnell received this distinguished recognition for their years of service to the club. Congratulations to each. As weather is getting better, the shooting is improving and we have seen a number of new shooters coming out. We will continue to have fun shoots as well as our trophy competition as we prepare for the Tri-Temple shoot in August. Raja Temple will be the host. We are trying some new things in the club, such as catered or customized meals, more shooting prizes, and short meetings, all while keeping costs to a minimum. If you have ideas that would enrich our sport come on out and share. We are hoping to have a Fathers’ Day shoot in June. This could be an exciting family event. Sons and grandsons will be welcome to join in and we will introduce “newbies” to a fun time. The winner of the Hoops for LOVE challenge and recipient of the FEZ CUP is ... Shriners Hospitals for Children — Philadelphia! The hospital raised the most amount of money for the second year in a row. Arab Patrol Noble Mike Nelson Captain Patrolmen, Nobles and Ladies, The Boumi Arab Patrol is thriving thanks to you! We are excited to represent Boumi in parades and functions throughout the year. I would like to welcome Patrolman Rich Salla as our new secretary. Thank you to Rich Meyers who has been our secretary since 2000. He held the post with honor and is an asset to our Patrol and Boumi. As I have stated in the previous Boumi News, we would like to invite our NEW nobles to Boumi to come by on the second Monday night of the month at 7 p.m. for fellowship and food. We would be honored to have you as our guests. This invite extends to fellow nobles and Masons who have not joined a unit in Boumi. I realized a few years ago that you really do not get what the Shrine has to offer until you become part of a unit like the Arab Patrol. We have a true Brotherhood and bond. The OWLS are here! If your wife or significant other would like to feel a part of your Shrine experience, we have a group for them! Our ladies and families are a big part of a Shriner’s life and we would like to grow together. Our ladies will also be building their own bonds and joining their Patrolmen throughout the year in events and activities. Remember your Blue Lodges. Reach out and let men know what Shrine Masonry is all about! For information, please call me at 410-627-9990, e-mail arabpatrol@ boumishriners.com, or hit us up on Facebook (search “Boumi ArabPatrol”). We are the oldest unit in Boumi, and we are growing, so come by and see what it is all about. Brass Band Noble A. Harrison Caughey Bandmaster A warm welcome from the Brass Band to all the new Shriners. Look at the directory on the back cover of this magazine and you will see the variety of units and clubs at Boumi, including the Brass Band (Touch of Class). The Brass Band used to be a large marching unit. About 10 years ago, at a Shrine convention in Baltimore, a group within Brass Band formed a smaller group (Touch of Class) to participate in the dance band competition. They not only won the competition, but they had such a good time that they have continued to exist ever since. We’re still having fun. If you play an instrument, consider Touch of Class. Experience is not an issue. Are you reluctant because you haven’t played for a while? Not a problem. We play for fun. Expertise is neither required nor expected. The only expectation is that everyone attempts to play to the best of his ability. The marching part is gone, however, we have our float (a converted transit bus) and play in parades. Other venues include retirement communities, fraternal organizations, Grand Lodge, charity events, etc. Visit with us at a Boumi business meeting or at a rehearsal, which is on Tuesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. For information, contact Noble Marvin Oed at 410-666-2992 or oedrx@comcast.net or Bandmaster Harry Caughey at 410-302-5196 or h.caughey@verizon.net. Marvin Oed, Scribe Search “Boumi Shriners” JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2015 11 12 BOUMI TEMPLE NEWS Motor Corps Noble Don Hurcombe Captain Greetings everyone, this year is about to reach the halfway point and things are going well but they could be better. Your captain can only have a good year with the members’ support. Our riders should have already been in the Glen Burnie parade back in May. Coming up are several more parades which we will be addressed at our meetings. In April, the Motor Corps was Honor Guard at the Business Meeting; unfortunately, our group had a very poor turnout. We don’t know why our members didn’t support this, which is an embarrassment for the captain. It was a good meeting, too. We voted on 34 new members and about 25 of those men were sworn in right away. They will take part in the June Ceremonial. We welcomed into our unit a new member: Noble Mark Moore. Congratulations to him. I need to mention he is also a Past Master of his lodge. Now we have a total of six Past Masters in our unit. Noble Fred Lunn is an eight-time master (four different lodges) and Noble Richard Smith is a seven-time master serving his lodge to keep it in existence. Our First Lieutenant, Bob Candler (Past Master), is also a member of the Knights of Mecca and serves in the Grand Lodge. In fact, he was present at Freedom Lodge (my lodge) when they visited to put on a third degree for three of our members. A month later, Bob was back with Boumi Knights of Mecca to do another third degree for two more of our members. That is a busy Mason. When you read the “In Memoriam” page in this magazine it should make everyone think about getting a new member or two; let’s try to do this! In closing, as always, we remind ALL nobles get out to the Business Meetings and greet some of our new members. Spencer Wilson Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America Yak-Rem-Peh Court #32 Lady Theresa Needer High Priestess Thank you to everyone who attended my first meeting in April. I enjoyed the umbrellas. The Kentucky Derby dinner in May was a wonderful assemblage of hats and horses. I hope we have as much fun in the Capital and at the Friendship Night dinner in September! Don’t forget that our Grand High Priestess will visit in July. Please join us for the meeting and dinner on July 11. For information, contact Teresa Needer at 443-798-0052. Bou-Tem-Sci Lady Linda D. Barnes President I extend a big, heartfelt thank you and much appreciation to Nancy Ritter for serving as our president this past year. Her enthusiasm and dedication has led us through a most successful and wonderful year, and we are grateful for her leadership. Nancy is not only my Bou-Tem-Sci sister, she is my biological sister, and it has been a pleasure and privilege to serve as her 1st vice president. Also, a thank you goes to the President’s board for giving help when it was needed. At our April meeting, the new officers and board were installed for the coming year. Each person is ready to continue our work and for our club to prosper. May 18 was our last meeting before the summer break. At the meeting we honored mothers and daughters in attendance. Major Becky Hogg of the Salvation Army spoke as to how the Salvation Army helped individuals and families through the year and at Christmas. We gave out 100 Christmas stockings to the members to fill for children so they will have a happy Christmas. The Salvation Army will give the stockings to children who are in need. We all played bingo and had prizes for the lucky winners. Our 2nd vice president, Sandy Phillips, has planned our June 10 outing to Hooper’s Island. This should be a wonderful day. Plans are being made for our 83rd annual charity fashion show benefit “Taking Flight for Our Children” on Oct. 19 beginning at 11 a.m. with lunch at noon. The benefit will be held at Columbus Gardens, 4301 Klosterman Ave., and tickets are $32. Fashions will be from Boscov’s White Marsh and modeled by our own Bou-Tem-Sci ladies. The benefit will feature the following tables: bake, jewelry and treasures/collectibles. Plus, there will be three raffles: 50-50, baskets of pleasures, and the Potentate’s gift. To receive a fashion show flyer with a reservation slip, please call Linda Barnes at 443-604-3402. Our next meeting, which is the beginning of our new season, will be Sept. 21 at Columbus Gardens. Doors open at 11 a.m. and lunch is at noon. We will have a delicious lunch, a short meeting, and great entertainment. Please join us for a delightful afternoon. Have a wonderful, safe, and relaxing summer, and I look forward to seeing you in September. Blues Band Noble Andy Anders President Hope everyone is having a good spring after the winter we had.

I know you will love being with all your new friends as well as the old. Boumi Ladies are the best!! Ladies, please invite some of your friends to join us. Also, please remember our friends who are not able to join us due to illness. I now know how wonderful it is to receive a card or phone call—it really helps. Let’s have a great summer!! By this time, some are wondering, why it is so hot? They forgot how cold it was not so long ago. Our upcoming parades are in Catonsville on July 4, at the Imperial Session in Houston, Texas, and then in Virginia Beach for MASA. In May, we went to Charlestown at the Fire Side Restaurant thanks to Noble Bo Barranger, past president.

Hamilton Shrine Club Noble Willard Wymer President Finally, spring has sprung and those snow days are behind us. As we move forward, I would like to thank all nobles and ladies for making our club a success. We have signed up five new members this year. I want to say a special thank you to Secretary Rowlan Stumpf who puts in numerous hours to keep our club going. In March, we had a presentation by the Shriners Hospitals for Children in Philadelphia, which everyone enjoyed. At the April meeting, thanks again to Rowlan, we were all initiated as “Turtles” and became members of that prestigious order. In May we had amateur night at our club. Don’t forget nobles, ladies, friends and guests are invited to Friendly Farm Restaurant on June 25 at 6 p.m. The cost is $35 per person. Please contact Rowlan at 410-592-6428 or rowlanstumpf@comcast.net for reservations. I hope everyone has an enjoyable and healthy summer. Ambassadors Noble Edward A. DeWaters III Chief Our 2015 Chief Ambassador Edward A. DeWaters III wants to take this opportunity to thank all of the Ambassadors and nobility who have participated in our many functions this year. It has truly been a wonderful sharing of fellowship between brothers and their families. Here are several more upcoming activities to continue this great fun and fellowship! On June 14 from 1 to 5 p.m., we will have a second reappointment meeting and family picnic in the Boumi Pavilion. Since this is Flag Day, come out in your red, white and blue to enjoy hamburgers, hot dogs, and sausages on the grill. We hope everyone will bring their favorite picnic side dish. Call Noble Joe Baird with your reservation and dish at 410-335-6618. Our annual Crab Feast is on Aug. 20. This is our only fundraiser for the Ambassadors. Noble Bill Mezoff is in charge of this event. He always does a remarkable job. The cost is still only $38 per person. Order your tickets early, as this is open to all nobility members, family, and friends. For information, contact Bill at 410-661-2816. Chief “Eddie” wants to remind all nobles of several items that need your help. Boumi Shrine’s membership is at a crucial number—approximately 2,300 members. For the last several years we have had more members passing than new ones joining. Our future is the membership, and I am asking all Ambassadors to ask their Blue Lodges if we could give a short presentation (5-10 minutes) about the benefits of becoming a Boumi Shriner. I would also like to have contact information for anyone who is in line in his Blue Lodge, so that we can ask for permission to speak on a Lodge Night. Please contact Noble Karl Ballwanz at 443-324-5507 with the updated information, which we will share with the Grand Lodge. You can help improve the membership by making just a few phone calls. One of the major fundraisers for Boumi this year is the Sportsmen’s and Cash Giveaway on Sept. 19 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The raffle includes a number of different guns and rifles, including a crossbow, as well as cash prizes. Tickets are $10 each from which the Ambassadors get a dollar back on each sale. Food and beverages will be served.

Spath, Stephen and Sherye Lynn (Spath) Sedlak, and Jimmy and Mattie Kirk. Won’t you join this elite group by becoming a member of the 100 Million Dollar Club? The two primary ways to contribute to this fund and become a member include: 1. A bequest to the Shriners Hospitals in your will. 2. A cash donation to the fund during your lifetime. This contribution can be made as often as you wish, and the only criterion is that the contribution must be in the amount of at least $100.
