We will also have performances in Pocatello, Twin Falls and Boise! One of the highlights is the circus parade on June 20th in downtown Boise. All Nobles and Ladies can help increase circus attendance by giving out free kids tickets. They are available at the Recorder’s office. This is the most effective way to advertise the circus so jump in and do your part!!!!! Our pre-circus ticket sales are ahead of last year so we are hoping for a good circus turnout. Thank you Circus Chairman Ron Lester!! The Shrine Circus Parade will line up in the parking lot east of the El Korah Shrine Temple. Lineup time will be 9 AM. All floats, cars and walking/dancing participants are welcome. Contact Director Ron Harris to reserve a space. This is a great opportunity for the entire Masonic Family to show the community what we are about. Our next major fund raiser is the Sportsman Raffle. We are selling raffle tickets for 50 quality firearms. The raffle items may be exchanged for other merchandise at the Sportsman Warehouse. Ric Bobier is chairman of the committee and Garland Risner and Corey Turner are committee members. This raffle, in the future, is expected to rival or exceed the circus as El Korah’s major fund raiser. The raffle tickets are being sold for $20 each or a book of 5 for $100 which includes a bonus raffle ticket. We need all nobles and their ladies to support this effort by selling tickets. You may get tickets to sell at the Recorder’s Office or if you would just like to purchase some for yourself they are available there too. The Provost Guard Wine Tasting event was well attended. They had music, prizes and an auction. Our very own PP Gary Adams served as both the Master of Ceremonies and Auctioneer. What a talented noble!!! While I’m speaking of talent another noble, Jack Gardner and Friend’s band provided the music. Prominent local wineries provided wine samples and had bottles of their wine for sale. The Past Potentates offered up many tasty options for their Mother’s Day Brunch. This was served with a smile and champagne and enjoyed by many Nobles and Ladies. The Baron Car Show was a smashing success, they had over 140 cars and raised over $20,000 for the El Korah Patient Travel. This was up from $12,000 last year! Thanks to Ken Rufe and his team for putting this together. The Duck Club sponsored another successful concert in the El Korah Ballroom. Utilizing our facility for fund raising events is key to our financial health. Thanks to all the many volunteers that help make this happen. El Korah Shrine involvement in your community can help improve membership and in turn help our hospitals. One way to do this is by participating in your local parades. I encourage you to participate but if you cannot then be on the side line cheering on those participating. Let people know that Shriners are alive and well in your community. Summer is here with many Clubs and Unit picnics, parades and football games (Twin Falls and Baker City). Enjoy these events with your friends and families. See you there! Joe Randall Potentate June 2015 CHAPLAIN’S CORNER By Stan Barker, Chaplain Greetings to one and all, and welcome to summer 2015 in El Korah Shrine, Boise! We are thankful for the spring weather which we all enjoyed to get into the feeling that summer is here. We have a great program of events which has been developed for us. To name a few, there is some football, golf, circus, camping, and just enjoying the summer in the events in and around El Korah. This is the month in which we should all pause and give THANKS, to all who served in World War II, while stationed in Europe to help preserve our freedom. We ask our Citizens display the flag of our country on June 14, FLAG DAY. This year we are noting that this is the 117th year for El Korah Shrine in Boise, Idaho. June 21 is the day this year when we should pause and give THANKS, to our fathers or THANKS for the memories. June 21, 2015 is FATHER’S DAY. A TRIBUTE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Our Father, we bow our heads at this time in gratitude for all the blessings we have received from Thee. We are an honored Nation in a great company of Nations. Our Flag stands for all that is noble and true in word and in deed. May we be stirred with pride as we gaze upon its beautiful colors of red, white, and blue, and may our love for our Flag grow with each year of our lives. May Flag Day to us mean a closer walk with Thee and each other. SHALOM DESERT DUST Page 4 SEPT. STATED MEETING The next STATED MEETING of El Korah Shrine will be held September 9th, 2015.

We had wonderful weather, a great crowd (about 150 people based on rough estimates) and we had over 145 cars in the show, some Barons, Idaho Chariots, Classy Car Clubs and some general public. We also collected over $20,000, final numbers are not ready yet, for the Children’s Travel Fund which is outstanding. We sold breakfast, raffle tickets, tee shirts, and auctioned of several items. We also had the pleasure of Ava, one of our youngest Shriner Children ever, and her family at our car show. There were many Barons, “Kids pick” awards and the Potentate’s car show awards given out, the clowns were clowning around and creating tons of fun for the kids, face painting, the Provost Guard was there supporting the event and keeping the crowd under control. We also had one potential Shriner from the membership booth. See the link that Blake Titus put together, thanks Blake great job - 2015 Barons Car Show Link and the Classy Car Club would like to thank the volunteers for their support as well. In closing, I want to thank everyone very much for your support and commitment in making this a great event and more importantly being able to help the Children and as we say “Helping Kids and Having Fun” was a perfect example of this car show. Can’t wait for next year’s show. One historical note. I was looked at the amount of funds we raised on our first year and we raised $7315.70 and had 94 cars compared to upwards of $20,000 and 145 cars this year. We have come a long way in 2 years and I can’t wait for next year. Fraternally yours, Ken Rufe June 2015 Page 6 DESERT DUST SHRINERS PROVIDE PRIZES FOR LOCAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS Shriners for years have been helping kids with medical problems through their medical facilities either at burn centers or orthopedic hospitals. To help fund some of their activities, El Korah Shrine in Boise sponsors a Shrine Circus that performs through South Eastern and Western Idaho cities in June. Local Shriners buy tickets to the circus to give out to children in their areas. This year, local Shriners in Challis found out about a fitness program at Challis Elementary School as well as the achievement awards program at the end of the School year. Challis Elementary School held a walking program for the Elementary school kids to promote good health. Each time they walked through a predetermined course on the playground they received credit for the distance they walked. These credits were totaled up and prizes were given out to the winners in each grade. All the kids participating in the walking program had a chance at winning a ticket to the Shrine Circus either by walking the most miles or having their name drawn randomly from out of a hat. The next day at the end of the year achievement awards ceremony the rest of the tickets were given out for good spellers, good attendance ect. The teacher of the year award from Challis Lodge # 92 AF & AM Masons of Idaho was also given out. Karen Coonts the District Special Education teacher was this year’s winner. The Kindergarten winner had 10 miles plus 12 laps, 1st grade 10 miles, 2nd grade 10 miles plus 9 laps, 3rd grade 20 miles, 4th grade 30 miles, 5th grade 5 miles plus 10 laps and 6th grade 5 miles plus 7 laps. The K-3 grade overall winner was Ty Farr and the 4-6 overall winner was Wiley Turek who both received additional prizes. Ty had already left school for the summer so the second place winners for the 3rd grade each got a shrine circus ticket. Due to the number of local Shriners the excess tickets (almost 40 total) were donated to the Elementary School. Two local Shrines were at the awards ceremony for the fitness prizes and one was at the awards program the next day for the teacher of the year and student awards activities. Another example of Shriners helping Children. These are the winners for the most miles walked Kindergarten through 6th grade With Shriners Ken Miller and Doug Hammond in the back row with the “Genie” hats on. Kids left to right Jaiden Wright, Rylee Bartel, Jessa Hunt, MaKala Bruno, Cody Lanier, Wiley Turek, Jessica Lafeen, and Grace Kowarko. June 2015 PAYETTE PARADE Parade season is here! El Korah Tin Lizzies riders Ron Harris, Dick Berry and Joe Kowalczyk and El Korah Shrine Clowns Dave Thomas and Rodger Hood gathered May 16th in Payette for the Apple Blossom parade. Dick Swift drove the El Korah Van while El Korah Shrine Nobles Rick Holloway and Mark Isserman walked the parade route handing out free Shrine Circus kids tickets. Many more parades coming up. Please take this opportunity to support your Nobles. This is great publicity for the Shrine and the Shrine Hospitals for Children. Don’t miss the El Korah Shrine Circus parade on June 20. Contact our Director Ron Harris if your Club or Unit would like to participate. It is always great fun. Encourage your friends and family to line the streets of Boise to cheer on our Nobles.

My earliest memories are those of being taken to the Circus by my Shriner Uncle and aunt. They were instrumental in getting their family to the circus. The Circus is an excellent source of entertainment for kids (and adults). It is an excellent way to share a fun event with your family As Shriners we can be proud of our Shrine Circus and enjoy the fact that It provides our Shrine Temple the financial support required to allow us to do the things we do best- - - Help Kids and Families. I am proud to serve as Chairman of the Shrine Circus and allowed to represent our Nobles of El Korah in the presentation of the Circus. I hope each of you will support the noblest of our causes by purchasing your Noble’s Tickets and allowing the use of them by your neighbors, friends and family. The purchase of your tickets shows you are taking pride in producing the Shrine Circus and will see to it that your children and grandchildren will be afforded an opportunity to see the GREATEST SHOW IN IDAHO. 2015 Parade Schedule for the rest of the year June 13.................

When the circus is in your area, plan to attend, wear your Fez and show the public what a great organization we are. Noble tickets were mailed in the first part of April. Please purchase your tickets and give them to people who would enjoy the circus. If you are unable to purchase them, please return them to the Temple and enclose a check for the amount that you can afford. Wouldn’t it be great to see a smile on a child’s face as the guy is shot out of the cannon, taking a ride on the elephant, or the clowns pulling their pranks. Thanks to all the Nobles who are working hard to sell advertisements for the program. Posters will be available by the middle of May. Scatter them all over the towns. Once again, we have free tickets for kids. When you have a parade, have nobles go along the parade route and hand out tickets. Tents will be available to be put in a business along with kids free tickets. In the Pocatello area, McDonalds will be putting kid tickets in happy meals, and the Idaho Food Bank will be distributing tickets as well. The following business will have tickets for sale: Ridleys, DL Evans Banks, Albertsons in Idaho Falls, Broulins in Eastern Idaho, and Quick Cash. With the cooperation and hard work of many Nobles, we can make this the best Circus ever for El Korah! DESERT DUST Page 13 UPDATE ON HARLEY WADE’S HOUSE We were recently informed that the widow of Harley Wade, a past Shriner and member of Boise Lodge #2, was having problems with her roof leaking and general maintenance issues on her home. Boise #2 donated $290 so far for the materials, Clarence Jones donated $100, Dave and Ann Triplett donated $50, Rick and Jackie Holloway have donated about $300 so far, and Ken Beaudreau has donated a considerable amount as well for the repair of Mrs. Wade’s house. Franklin Building Supply donated all the materials to replace her roof, two teams of roofers removed the old roof and installed the new roof, and Rick has replaced two areas of damaged sheetrock, finished it and textured it, and installed a new bathroom light and fan. We still need to paint the interior ceilings, replace the soffit and fascia all around the house, and replace the awning. This should be done by the end of next week. A full report on the donations and a picture of the finished work will be published in the September Desert Dust. Thanks to everyone for your donations so far! NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SHRINERS HOSPITAL VISIT June 2015 THE EAGLES CONCERT The Eagles, one of the most recognized bands of the 1970’s and forward, held a concert in Boise on May 31. Recognizing the contributions the Shriners Hospitals give to so many kids, they allowed volunteer Shriners to sell a digitally remastered copy of their Greatest Hits album 1971-1975 as well as a chance to win a guitar signed by the Eagles. The profits from the sale of these items was equally split between Don Henley’s Walden Woods charity and the Shriners Hospital. Corey Turner wanted to send out a note for a huge thank you for all the Nobles and Ladies who helped sell CDs and the chance to win the signed guitar. We ended up selling about 660 units. After the concert started, the Nobles and Ladies were given free tickets to the concert. The area where we were seated were normally $150 per seat! Lady Ellie Mastropaolo was the one that sold the ticket to Karen Reaves who was the winner of the Autographed Guitar. The best part of this is Karen was a volunteer with Treefort and worked our venue three of the five nights. By illustrious Sir Mike Mastropaolo On Wednesday May 6th, Lady Ellie and I along with Ellie’s sister Bernadette visited the Sacramento Shriners Hospital and delivered some of the wooden toys donated by our friends, The ADA County Wood Workers Club. As we entered the facility, there was a clown (Pinwheel) standing in the hallway and I asked him if he was getting a time out for something he done. He chuckled and explained across the hall is the outpatient check in and he was there to entertain the children waiting to receive treatment upstairs. We were greeted by Mr. Joseph Ramos, Special Events Coordinator and shown a brief video on the facility. Our tour was about an hour and covered many areas of the hospital. One of the most interesting areas was the casting department. They have a piece of equipment that I have not seen in other hospitals. It is used to make castings for prosthetic devices out of Styrofoam in a matter of minutes in an enclosed cabinet driven by computer. We were told they often use this device to support other hospitals in Salt lake and Portland as well. We met some of the Shriners who volunteer as drivers waiting in the Shriners Lounge for the kids to be treated so they can be driven home or back to the airport. As always, a visit to a Shriners Hospital is good for the soul. If you haven’t visited a hospital and an opportunity presents itself, go and see for yourself. The rewards are great and you will see the Kiddo’s smiling faces and will put a smile in your heart. EL KORAH BAND NEWS The El Korah Shrine Band performed Wednesday, May 20, 2015 at the Meadows Lake Village Senior Living Complex. The Band was under the direction of Cal Bowen and performed for an hour. In addition, a talk was given regarding Freemasonry in Idaho over the past 150 years, the El Korah Shriners and their presence in Idaho for 120 years, and the Shriners Hospitals. The Meadow Lake Village presented a donation of $100 and another $100 was received from Noble Deek. Page 14 DESERT DUST June 2015 PORTLAND SHRINE HOSPITAL SCREENING CLINIC Shriners Hospitals for Children — Portland is coordinating with our affiliated Temples for the first ever regional screening clinic day, in conjunction with our board members. On Saturday, October 24, 2015 FROM 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., we are inviting our affiliated Temples, clubs and/ or units to hold a screening clinic in their home towns (the goal of increasing the number of new children seeking care at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Portland ). On that day (10-24-2015), we will have a staff member in the hospital manning the patient referral phone number to accept calls from these clinics to “onboard new patients” who are referred from these clinics (to put the referred child’s information in the computer system and to coordinate with the family a scheduled date, time for their first appointment at Shriners Hospital) Why are we doing this? In the past at screening clinics, families were given an application or referral form to complete, and the Shrine Club coordinating the clinic would mail the forms into the hospital. (Causing a built in delay for the family) We would then review and approve the application and mail the family a date and time for a first appointment in an acceptance letter.(most likely a date/time which didn’t fit the families’ schedule which ultimately made our successful show rate at the first clinic appointment a negative situation). If your club/units are considering hosting a Screening clinic in the fall; please have them consider selecting October 24, 2015 for their date. Our hope is that the families that attend the clinic and who are referred by the volunteer physician at the clinic can call from the screening clinic directly to Shriners Hospitals for Children — Portland and be given a first appointment date and time right then. Please email or call with questions or to receive a pdf on how to set up a screening clinic.
