FRIDAY NIGHT PARADE
Before I answer that question, let me give
you a little background. Cheryl Parker is the
Divisional Coach for eight Waffle House
restaurants in the Newberry County area. A
very interesting job when you consider they
are all open 24/7/365, and that she has to
“coach” dozens of Waffle House employees
on how to be ready to meet customers at all
times of the day and night. Parker, an eight
year employee of Waffle House, had an idea
to do something with the Newberry County
Shrine Club and Hejaz Shrine Temple.
When Cheryl was living in upstate New
York many years ago, her young son, Bryan
Young, was badly burned on his legs and
feet. He was wonderfully cared for by the
Shriners Hospital System (www.shrinershopsitalsforchildren.org ), and today, at
age twenty-seven, is a shift supervisor at a
Tim Horton’s in Buffalo, NY. (Tim Horton
was a NHL champion for many years in the
early 60’s and later started the highly
acclaimed Tim Horton Donut/Coffee
House chain (think Dunkin Donuts) in
Canada. Seems that “Waffle” didn’t fall far
from the griddle.) Ever grateful for the free
medical care the Shriners provide children,
and in particular her son Bryan, Cheryl
wanted to finally help the local Shriners and
say Thank You.
The Newberry Shrine Club and Waffle
House teamed up to raise funds for the hospitals by conducting an All-You-Can-Eat
breakfast at the Shrine Club. A mere $8.00
got breakfast goers Waffle House scrambled
eggs, grits, hash browns, biscuits, bacon,
sausage, iced tea, OJ and coffee. But,
Where’s the Waffles? Parker told me that
they served well over 325 people and to
make that quality Waffles they are known
for and to keep the line moving, they had to
delete the Waffles from the menu for this
benefit. Didn’t matter, there was plenty of
great food, and everyone was very pleased.
I can attest to the fact that it was a great
time.
To pull this task off, on July 30th from 811am, Cheryl rounded up several ofher
managers who are pictured here to help
out.
Speaking of Waffles, as a frequent diner at
the Prosperity location, I noticed an AllYou-Can-Eat Waffles sign there. So, if you
are missing your Waffles, $3.00 will get you
all the Waffles you can eat. The chef told me
the other night the current Waffle eating
champ from Prosperity has eaten six at one
sitting. Bon Appetite!
The Hejaz Temple Offices Will Be
Closed Thursday and Friday,
November 24 & 25 in
Recognition of Thanksgiving.

Thousands of Miles Driven
Taking Children to Shriners
Hospitals for Children®
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Imagine spending
your entire day driving a child to the
Shriners Hospitals for Children in
Greenville, South Carolina. What if that
child was not your own?
Harvey Grant, a Road Runner, has
made 200 trips taking local children to
Shriners Hospitals for Children in
Greenville, South Carolina, and has
made 117 trips to Shriners Hospitals for
Children in Cincinnati, Ohio. For each
trip, Grant picks up a local family, drives
them to the hospital for treatment, and
then returns with them back home. The
transportation is free of cost to the
child’s family, but the Road Runners say
they are paid with smiles from the child.
When asked why they volunteer so
much of their time, Road Runners simply reply that when they look at what the
families are going through with the sick
children, they are happy to drive any distance to help them.
The Shriners Hospitals for Children —
Greenville would like to recognize
Harvey Grant for his dedication to helping local children.

Greetings from the Hejaz Shrine Center. We have been pretty busy this
summer and have no plans in slowing down. The Divan nights have been
great with a lot of good food, fellowship and fun. A big thank you to the
Golden Strip Shrine Club for their Divan Night. It was fabulous and the food
was excellent. The Southeastern Shrine was in Louisville, Kentucky this year.
Recorder Bob Rodgers and Assistant Rabban Gary Parsons represented
Hejaz and brought back positive reports. At the end of August, we had
another great Divan Night in Abbeville with a great crowd. Thanks to
Abbeville Shrine club for a wonderful evening. On September 11, Reverend
Caldwell hosted a Masonic Shrine Day at his Church in Cross Keys. As always,
Reverend Caldwell delivered a wonderful message. After the service, we
enjoyed a delicious meal at Woodruff Shrine Club with a standing room only
crowd. Jackson Shrine Club in Lancaster hosted a Divan Ladies night and
there was another great crowd with fabulous food, especially the fried
pickles! Imperial Sir Alan Madsen and his Lady Jan joined us at the Jackson
Shrine Club and he delivered a great message from the Imperial.
As I sit and write this, we have just returned from Pigeon Forge,
Tennessee for the annual South Atlantic Shrine Association. Hejaz was represented by an outstanding crowd and a special thanks to everyone who
took the trip around the mountain. A HUGE thanks to the Hospitality Food
& Beverage Committee, for providing a great hospitality and to Mike
Hopkins and George Jackson for some great entertainment. The Hejaz
Chef’s provided fantastic food on Friday & Saturday, thank you Chef’s! I
would especially like to congratulate Illustrious Sir Joe Scott on becoming
the SASA president. Hejaz is supporting you all the way Joe!
Don’t forget about our Fall Ceremonial coming up on the 14 & 15th of
October in Newberry. We need good quality candidates, and if you have a
candidate, make sure he visits our hospital on October 9th at 1 pm. While
in Newberry, I personally want to invite family members and widows of our
Brethren who have passed on before us in the year of 2011 to join me on
Saturday October 15th for the memorial service at the Newberry Opera
House at 1 pm. We also have planned a Fez & Rose presentation on
Saturday night, October 15th, at the Newberry Shrine Club, and that’s also
the night we will be drawing for someone to win the Camaro, the four
wheeler and the Trike moped. Hope to see you all in Newberry!
In closing, please keep all of our Brothers and their families who are sick
in your thoughts and prayers, and if you know of someone who is sick or
passed away please call the Shrine Office and let someone know so they can
pass on the word. As always, I am just a phone call away if anyone needs
anything. WE ARE FAMILY 2011!
Your Potentate,
Jimmy Smith

Teams Up with Patti’s Kids
for Hospital Fundraiser
By George Jackson
I would like to thank all that helped and
all that attended to make the 4th Annual
Patti’s Kids Hospital Drive such a huge
success.
Thanks to four FANTASTIC Bands who
all donated their time and talents. They
were: The Out of Towners, The
Reflections, Shag Attack, and The
Tommy Black Trio. A very special thanks
to Bobby Simmons of Music Makers Of
Easley for providing and setting up thousands of dollars worth in sound equipment for the EVENT. If you need music
equipment from large to small or music
lessons, please call Music Makers. It is
not every day that you see so much talent under one roof. Most of the entertainers are not Shriners, but are proud to
help raise money for our Shriners Kids.
Please if you ever get the chance, thank
them for their support.
A big thanks to Don Tucker and all of
the Greenville Shrine Club for teaming
up with us for this event. A special
thanks to GSC Ladies Auxiliary for their
hard work and contributions. We all
know we need our Ladies. I will not try
to call all names but Greenville Shrine
Club Members and Ladies, you made
me proud! This Event brought out hundreds of people who had so much fun
they didn’t want to leave. Our Potentate
Jimmy Smith and Chief Rabban Ron
Kennedy came by and were having so
much fun they wound up staying all
afternoon. I also saw President Jerry
Campbell and a group from the Golden
Strip Shrine Club, just to mention a few.
I’ve had a number of people who were
very disappointed because they couldn’t
attend due to conflicts or because they
just didn’t know about the event. Next
year we will set the date much earlier so
we can promote it longer, so watch for
your Commentator or web sites etc.
Don’t miss this EVENT next year.
I want to give special thanks to Steve
Craig for a vision four years ago. Steve,
Joey Warner, myself and some other
Shriners and ladies started this EVENT
and Steve calls it “Patti’s Kids” in memory of Pattie Craig who was one great supporter. We have had some great years
and then some disappointing years.
Thank you Steve for hanging in there
with me and I believe it will continue to
OCT.-NOV. 2011

grow.
If anyone would like to contribute in
money or time to the Event, please get in
touch with me George Jackson, 1299
North Parker Road, Greenville, S.C.
29609 or call me at 864-246-5236.
Due to all your support we were able to
contribute so far this year $4,300.00 and
still have some monies coming in.
Please make checks payable to
Greenville Shriners Hospital and I.D. as
Patti’s Kids”.
Thanks again from myself and Steve
Craig.
A Sincere Thanks
To all that sent me cards, visited me in the hospital, called me on the phone, but
most of all for the prayers that were sent up on my behalf during my surgery.
It is great to know that I have so many friends out there that care.
God Bless each one of you,
Noble Bill Perkins
By Bren Sherbert
Just a short note and a huge thank you
from the Ladies Auxiliary of
the
Greenville Shrine Club, to those of you
who come out and support our Tuesday
Night Dinners. We hope you will continue to do so and know that our work and
your support is for a wonderful cause,
when we give to the Hospital for the kids
at the end of the year, so invite others to
join us and enjoy some great home
cooked meals. We still serve from 6:30 to
7:30 p.m., and the cost is just $7.00 a
plate.
Also, come by the Club on Friday
Nights for dinner and entertainment
with Karaoke.
I still encourage you all to take the
time to stop by and say “Hello” to everyone and pick up a Club Newsletter to
keep up on all the happenings for the
next couple of months, as there will be
plenty of events going on.
On another note, we would like to say
“Happy Birthday” to a few of our Ladies,
Tammy Swecker – September 27, Betty
Cox, Lady of Mike Cox – September 28,
and Bren Sherbert, Lady of Chunk
Brown – October 2. We hope you enjoy
your day.
In closing remember the children in
our Hospitals in your prayers, as they are
the reason we work hard throughout the
year.
Remember…..How people treat you
will make little difference when you
know you have God’s approval…..so
when the outlook seems bad…..look up!!
Wishing you all a wonderful blessed
month.

Provost Guard News
By Dick Flowers-Exec. Lieutenant
September and the fall is now here and
hopefully cooler weather is just around
the corner.
In August the Provost Guard went to
the Southeastern Shrine Convention in
Louisville, Kentucky. It was a great trip
and we won the First Place Trophy for
best dressed Unit.
We went to the Circus Awards dinner
and were honoring when it was
announced that the Provost Guard were
one of the hardest working Units in
Hejaz Temple and also our Ladies
received accolades for all their work in
selling so many souvenirs at the Circus.
September 22-24, 2011, we will be
attending the South Atlantic Shrine

Speaks
Act Quickly
Psalm 144:4 — “Man is likely to vanity: his days are as a shadow that
passeth away”
Henry Ford reportedly said, “You can’t build a reputation on what
you are going to do.” We are reminded to get started and do something before the days run out! Popular sayings like, “life is
short, play hard,” provide further reminders of the importance of
using time wisely. David’s prayer is Psalm 144 reminds us to make
time count. Take a good look at your life’s accomplishments, and if
you are not satisfied with what you see, make some fast changes, for
time is running out!

"Nobody Asked Me"
The question most asked of the
newly initiated Noble, "Why did
you wait so long before joining
the Shrine?" His answer will
invariably be
"Nobody Asked Me Before"
The Mid-City Car Show was a big success. Here you see Billy Bentley, president of
Mid-City Shrine Club, with our Illustrious Potentate Jimmy Smith. They are standing
among the many trophies and items that were given away during the day. (Trophies are
for the Cars.)
The drawings took place every half hour and there were many items to be given
away. Inside there was some good food to be had. “Jab” and his crew stayed up all
night and cooked a hog. They had B-B-Q, baked beans, fries, home-made slaw and
good cold tea.
There was a “walking poker run”, shaved ice, car show souvenirs and the Daisy
Maes had various crafts to sell. WOOW ! ! A great place to be! A good time for the
whole family!!

3-D Virtual Surgery
for Cleft Lip and
Palate Is Here
Southeastern Motor Corp
Nobles,
I would like to thank you for your confidence in me allowing me to be your
President for the next year. It is an honor and I hope that I can help the
Southeastern Motor Corp through the year. It will take effort from every one of
us to ensure a successful year.
The Book Exchange will be held in Greenville, SC., October 7th & 8th. We will
be staying at the Phoenix Inn in Greenville. The phone number is (800)2573529. The website is www.phoenixgreenvilleinn.com. Let them know you are
staying with SASMC.
We will be opening the hospitality room around noon on the 7th. We plan on
having a small registration for this event to help off-set some of the costs.
We will be discussing issues pertaining to the events for the upcoming year.
All ideas and suggestions are encouraged. We have numerous ideas we are
Transferring the Virtual Plan
into Realty
Linping Zhao, Ph.D., a biomedical
engineer at Shriners Hospital for
Children - Chicago, explained, "It is
great to do the surgery using software
in my computer and come out with a
good plan, but the key is really how
you transfer the plan to the operating
room, so the surgeon can actually see
it, follow it and even use it like a 'ruler'
in real time. We have larger monitors,
and from that we can show the virtual
surgical plans either in the operating
room for surgeons or in a conference
room for other clinicians on the team,
and for the children and their parents.
"We have even sent the surgical plan
and corresponding designs to medical
device manufacturers to make custom
implants, and special surgical templates like 'cutting guides' and/or
'repositioning guides,' which are
essentially patient-specific patterns
for where to make the bone cuts and
where to reposition the bones."
Above:Linping Zhao, Ph.D., (right) and David Morris, M.D. (middle) use 3-D imaging to
create a surgical plan for a patient who as cleft lip and palate.
Technology Continues to Improve
Surgical Techniques
With the help of engineers like Dr.
Zhao, simulations can now be performed in the operating room so surgeons can choose the best procedure
from a number of options.
"Every day the technology is getting
better and better," said Dr. Zhao. "I'm
very excited to have been working on
this for the past decade. It's wonderful
- it really can help children and make
their life better."
We Are Always Learning
Shriners Hospitals for Children is
connected to more than 60 medical
teaching facilities across the country.
Go to shrinershospitalsforchildren.org
and click "Education," and then
"Medical Education" to see how we
are training for the next generation of
pediatric specialists.
The “Ol’ Swimming Hole” was the coolest place to be during Mid-City Shrine Clubs Annual Redneck Games. Rednecks of all ages enjoyed participating in the legendary events
such as Hub-Cap Tossin’, Horseshoe Tossin’ (using a toilet seat and plungers), Hawg Callin’ and Tater Gun Shootin’ as the band played on the bed of a flat-bed trailer. Jab’s specially cooked chicken legs were on the menu along with home-made ice cream, watermelon, dogs and burgers. A knee slappin’, gut bustin’ time was had by all!
Black Cyan Magenta Yellow
Shriners Hospitals for Children® Chicago is among a handful of hospitals around the world, and one of the
first in the U.S., to use the threedimensional (3-D) virtual surgery in
the operating room. The technique is
improving the odds of successful outcomes in cleft lip and palate surgery
by allowing surgerons to perform a
"virtual" surgery before bringing the
child to the operating room.
3-D images are used with sophisticate software that allows the cleft lip
and palate team to see the child's face
and bone, and tissue structures before
the surgery and after. Many potential
problems in completing the surgery
can be worked out prior to the actual
procedure, and various modeling
techniques allow the team to preview
not only the physical integrity of the
outcome, but also how the child's face
will look. Virtual planning is a significant improvement because it gives
surgeons a way to design a more accurate surgical plan.

Leaders in Care
Mid-City Car Show Big Success
•Experienced
•Innovative
•Specialized
"Nobody Asked Me"
The question most asked of the
newly initiated Noble, "Why did
you wait so long before joining
the Shrine?" His answer will
invariably be
"Nobody Asked Me Before"
The Mid-City Car Show was a big success. Here you see Billy Bentley, president of
Mid-City Shrine Club, with our Illustrious Potentate Jimmy Smith. They are standing
among the many trophies and items that were given away during the day. (Trophies are
for the Cars.)
The drawings took place every half hour and there were many items to be given
away. Inside there was some good food to be had. “Jab” and his crew stayed up all
night and cooked a hog. They had B-B-Q, baked beans, fries, home-made slaw and
good cold tea.
There was a “walking poker run”, shaved ice, car show souvenirs and the Daisy
Maes had various crafts to sell. WOOW ! ! A great place to be! A good time for the
whole family!!

Provost Guard News
By Dick Flowers-Exec. Lieutenant
September and the fall is now here and
hopefully cooler weather is just around
the corner.
In August the Provost Guard went to
the Southeastern Shrine Convention in
Louisville, Kentucky. It was a great trip
and we won the First Place Trophy for
best dressed Unit.
We went to the Circus Awards dinner
and were honoring when it was
announced that the Provost Guard were
one of the hardest working Units in
Hejaz Temple and also our Ladies
received accolades for all their work in
selling so many souvenirs at the Circus.
September 22-24, 2011, we will be

The
Chaplain
Speaks
Act Quickly
Psalm 144:4 — “Man is likely to vanity: his days are as a shadow that
passeth away”
Henry Ford reportedly said, “You can’t build a reputation on what
you are going to do.” We are reminded to get started and do something before the days run out! Popular sayings like, “life is
short, play hard,” provide further reminders of the importance of
using time wisely. David’s prayer is Psalm 144 reminds us to make
time count. Take a good look at your life’s accomplishments, and if
you are not satisfied with what you see, make some fast changes, for
time is running out!

Greenville Shrine Club
Teams Up with Patti’s Kids
for Hospital Fundraiser
By George Jackson
I would like to thank all that helped and
all that attended to make the 4th Annual
Patti’s Kids Hospital Drive such a huge
success.
Thanks to four FANTASTIC Bands who
all donated their time and talents. They
were: The Out of Towners, The
Reflections, Shag Attack, and The
Tommy Black Trio. A very special thanks
to Bobby Simmons of Music Makers Of
Easley for providing and setting up thousands of dollars worth in sound equipment for the EVENT. If you need music
equipment from large to small or music
lessons, please call Music Makers. It is
not every day that you see so much talent under one roof. Most of the entertainers are not Shriners, but are proud to
help raise money for our Shriners Kids.
Please if you ever get the chance, thank
them for their support.
A big thanks to Don Tucker and all of
the Greenville Shrine Club for teaming
up with us for this event. A special
thanks to GSC Ladies Auxiliary for their
hard work and contributions. We all
know we need our Ladies. I will not try
to call all names but Greenville Shrine
Club Members and Ladies, you made
me proud! This Event brought out hundreds of people who had so much fun
they didn’t want to leave. Our Potentate
Jimmy Smith and Chief Rabban Ron
Kennedy came by and were having so
much fun they wound up staying all
afternoon. I also saw President Jerry
Campbell and a group from the Golden
Strip Shrine Club, just to mention a few.
I’ve had a number of people who were
very disappointed because they couldn’t
attend due to conflicts or because they
just didn’t know about the event. Next
year we will set the date much earlier so
we can promote it longer, so watch for
your Commentator or web sites etc.
Don’t miss this EVENT next year.
I want to give special thanks to Steve
Craig for a vision four years ago. Steve,
Joey Warner, myself and some other
Shriners and ladies started this EVENT
and Steve calls it “Patti’s Kids” in memory of Pattie Craig who was one great supporter. We have had some great years
and then some disappointing years.
Thank you Steve for hanging in there
with me and I believe it will continue to
OCT.-NOV. 2011

grow.
If anyone would like to contribute in
money or time to the Event, please get in
touch with me George Jackson, 1299
North Parker Road, Greenville, S.C.
29609 or call me at 864-246-5236.
Due to all your support we were able to
contribute so far this year $4,300.00 and
still have some monies coming in.
Please make checks payable to
Greenville Shriners Hospital and I.D. as
Patti’s Kids”.
Thanks again from myself and Steve
Craig.
A Sincere Thanks
To all that sent me cards, visited me in the hospital, called me on the phone, but
most of all for the prayers that were sent up on my behalf during my surgery.
It is great to know that I have so many friends out there that care.
God Bless each one of you,
Noble Bill Perkins
By Bren Sherbert
Just a short note and a huge thank you
from the Ladies Auxiliary of
the
Greenville Shrine Club, to those of you
who come out and support our Tuesday
Night Dinners. We hope you will continue to do so and know that our work and
your support is for a wonderful cause,
when we give to the Hospital for the kids
at the end of the year, so invite others to
join us and enjoy some great home
cooked meals. We still serve from 6:30 to
7:30 p.m., and the cost is just $7.00 a
plate.
Also, come by the Club on Friday
Nights for dinner and entertainment
with Karaoke.
I still encourage you all to take the
time to stop by and say “Hello” to everyone and pick up a Club Newsletter to
keep up on all the happenings for the
next couple of months, as there will be
plenty of events going on.
On another note, we would like to say
“Happy Birthday” to a few of our Ladies,
Tammy Swecker – September 27, Betty
Cox, Lady of Mike Cox – September 28,
and Bren Sherbert, Lady of Chunk
Brown – October 2. We hope you enjoy
your day.
In closing remember the children in
our Hospitals in your prayers, as they are
the reason we work hard throughout the
year.
Remember…..How people treat you
will make little difference when you
know you have God’s approval…..so
when the outlook seems bad…..look up!!
Wishing you all a wonderful blessed
month.

Greetings from the Hejaz Shrine Center. We have been pretty busy this
summer and have no plans in slowing down. The Divan nights have been
great with a lot of good food, fellowship and fun. A big thank you to the
Golden Strip Shrine Club for their Divan Night. It was fabulous and the food
was excellent. The Southeastern Shrine was in Louisville, Kentucky this year.
Recorder Bob Rodgers and Assistant Rabban Gary Parsons represented
Hejaz and brought back positive reports. At the end of August, we had
another great Divan Night in Abbeville with a great crowd. Thanks to
Abbeville Shrine club for a wonderful evening. On September 11, Reverend
Caldwell hosted a Masonic Shrine Day at his Church in Cross Keys. As always,
Reverend Caldwell delivered a wonderful message. After the service, we
enjoyed a delicious meal at Woodruff Shrine Club with a standing room only
crowd. Jackson Shrine Club in Lancaster hosted a Divan Ladies night and
there was another great crowd with fabulous food, especially the fried
pickles! Imperial Sir Alan Madsen and his Lady Jan joined us at the Jackson
Shrine Club and he delivered a great message from the Imperial.
As I sit and write this, we have just returned from Pigeon Forge,
Tennessee for the annual South Atlantic Shrine Association. Hejaz was represented by an outstanding crowd and a special thanks to everyone who
took the trip around the mountain. A HUGE thanks to the Hospitality Food
& Beverage Committee, for providing a great hospitality and to Mike
Hopkins and George Jackson for some great entertainment. The Hejaz
Chef’s provided fantastic food on Friday & Saturday, thank you Chef’s! I
would especially like to congratulate Illustrious Sir Joe Scott on becoming
the SASA president. Hejaz is supporting you all the way Joe!
Don’t forget about our Fall Ceremonial coming up on the 14 & 15th of
October in Newberry. We need good quality candidates, and if you have a
candidate, make sure he visits our hospital on October 9th at 1 pm. While
in Newberry, I personally want to invite family members and widows of our
Brethren who have passed on before us in the year of 2011 to join me on
Saturday October 15th for the memorial service at the Newberry Opera
House at 1 pm. We also have planned a Fez & Rose presentation on
Saturday night, October 15th, at the Newberry Shrine Club, and that’s also
the night we will be drawing for someone to win the Camaro, the four
wheeler and the Trike moped. Hope to see you all in Newberry!
In closing, please keep all of our Brothers and their families who are sick
in your thoughts and prayers, and if you know of someone who is sick or
passed away please call the Shrine Office and let someone know so they can
pass on the word. As always, I am just a phone call away if anyone needs
anything. WE ARE FAMILY 2011!
Your Potentate,
Jimmy Smith

Thousands of Miles Driven
Taking Children to Shriners
Hospitals for Children®
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Imagine spending
your entire day driving a child to the
Shriners Hospitals for Children in
Greenville, South Carolina. What if that
child was not your own?
Harvey Grant, a Road Runner, has
made 200 trips taking local children to
Shriners Hospitals for Children in
Greenville, South Carolina, and has
made 117 trips to Shriners Hospitals for
Children in Cincinnati, Ohio. For each
trip, Grant picks up a local family, drives
them to the hospital for treatment, and
then returns with them back home. The
transportation is free of cost to the
child’s family, but the Road Runners say
they are paid with smiles from the child.
When asked why they volunteer so
much of their time, Road Runners simply reply that when they look at what the
families are going through with the sick
children, they are happy to drive any distance to help them.
The Shriners Hospitals for Children —
Greenville would like to recognize
Harvey Grant for his dedication to helping local children.

FRIDAY NIGHT PARADE
Before I answer that question, let me give
you a little background. Cheryl Parker is the
Divisional Coach for eight Waffle House
restaurants in the Newberry County area. A
very interesting job when you consider they
are all open 24/7/365, and that she has to
“coach” dozens of Waffle House employees
on how to be ready to meet customers at all
times of the day and night. Parker, an eight
year employee of Waffle House, had an idea
to do something with the Newberry County
Shrine Club and Hejaz Shrine Temple.
When Cheryl was living in upstate New
York many years ago, her young son, Bryan
Young, was badly burned on his legs and
feet. He was wonderfully cared for by the
Shriners Hospital System (www.shrinershopsitalsforchildren.org ), and today, at
age twenty-seven, is a shift supervisor at a
Tim Horton’s in Buffalo, NY. (Tim Horton
was a NHL champion for many years in the
early 60’s and later started the highly
acclaimed Tim Horton Donut/Coffee
House chain (think Dunkin Donuts) in
Canada. Seems that “Waffle” didn’t fall far
from the griddle.) Ever grateful for the free
medical care the Shriners provide children,
and in particular her son Bryan, Cheryl
wanted to finally help the local Shriners and
say Thank You.
The Newberry Shrine Club and Waffle
House teamed up to raise funds for the hospitals by conducting an All-You-Can-Eat
breakfast at the Shrine Club. A mere $8.00
got breakfast goers Waffle House scrambled
eggs, grits, hash browns, biscuits, bacon,
sausage, iced tea, OJ and coffee. But,
Where’s the Waffles? Parker told me that
they served well over 325 people and to
make that quality Waffles they are known
for and to keep the line moving, they had to
delete the Waffles from the menu for this
benefit. Didn’t matter, there was plenty of
great food, and everyone was very pleased.
I can attest to the fact that it was a great
time.
To pull this task off, on July 30th from 811am, Cheryl rounded up several ofher
managers who are pictured here to help
out.
Speaking of Waffles, as a frequent diner at
the Prosperity location, I noticed an AllYou-Can-Eat Waffles sign there. So, if you
are missing your Waffles, $3.00 will get you
all the Waffles you can eat. The chef told me
the other night the current Waffle eating
champ from Prosperity has eaten six at one
sitting. Bon Appetite!
