Potentate’s Message
IT’S CIRCUS TIME and “It’s The Most Wonderful Time
of the Year” for Tripoli Shriners as we continue to focus our
efforts on membership and in making dreams come true at
our twenty-two (22) Shriners Hospitals for Children.
Our membership Co-chairmen, Joe Brunk and Matt
Wright, enthusiastically reported on our membership efforts
at the February meeting, “stressing the need for every Noble
to be involved in membership recruitment.” Matt also
obligated four new Nobles, Jeffrey Brenner, Matthew
Hanchek, Lawrence A. Wegner, Jr., and Gabe Winzenried as
they traversed the cold sands. Welcome to our New Nobles
and thanks to Bill Hahnfeldt (2), Larry Wegner, Sr. (Chief
Rabban), and Matt Wright for recommending them to
membership as their “Top Line Signers.” Regarding
membership, our DeMolay Unit has also been reactivated
under the leadership of PGM Allan Iding and Bob Lijewski.
Our first meeting was held on February 15th to promote
membership within DeMolay and Tripoli Shrine and future
meetings are planned to coincide with the “Craft Club”
meetings being held on the 4th Friday of every month.
At our March 9th Stated Meeting we will include the
Ladies, once again, as we have invited Michael Hartzer,
Board Member of the Galveston Shriners Hospital for
Children, to speak on the special work and the strides being
made in Pediatric Specialty Burn Care. Mike will make his
presentation at 7:00 p.m. with the Ladies present. The
Ladies will retire to the Melham
Parlor following the presentation
for a “Sparkling Surprise” (no
crafts).
On March 22nd your Divan
and their Ladies will represent
Tripoli at the annual Divan Day
being held at the Chicago
Shriners Hospital for Children. Additionally, the Women’s
Auxiliary and the Potentate and his Lady will be venturing
to the Twin Cities Shriners Hospital for meetings from April
17-19. All Nobles and their Ladies are invited to aTwin
Cities Hospital “Gala” on May 20th and the Twin City
Hospital Day (9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.) on May 21st. Details
are just being formulated and we will forward them to you
as we receive them. Our Chicago Hospital Day is Sunday,
June 5th and we will provide transportation from the Shrine
Center. Please contact the office for any interest you may
have in attending these hospital programs. We need your
support.
Our Valentine’s Day Brunch was a huge success. Special
thanks to Chef Robert and Terry Lea for the presentation
and quality of all menu items. The entire staff truly worked
well together and because of their efforts we are already

Just the Facts...
The Banquet and Catering report for January is
complete. We had 6 non-Shrine events for the month
of January with a profit of $11,524.34. In addition,
we had 11 Shrine events with a profit of $541.71. Our
total profit for the month of January was $12,066.05.
One area that must be addressed is the payment of
dues by our Nobles. Dues payments have been lax.
Remember our largest fund raiser, the winter circus,
which normally occurs at this time of the year is
delayed. We need your dues payments to help run our
operation until we receive the circus revenues. Please
get your dues in on time.
Help support the Scimitar Foundation Sportsman’s
night. This event raises funds for the improvement of
our building. In addition, we need your help raising
funds for the winter circus. We have an opportunity
this year to make additional revenue from this event.
Nobles help us with advertising in our Tattler.
Contact friends and family and suggest Tattler
advertising to them. This is a good source of
additional funds.
Remember submit any questions or concerns that
you have to our committee at the main office. We
appreciate any suggestions or recommendations from
our members about the operation of the finance
committee. Thank you to those nobles that have
already done so.
-Fraternally yours, The Finance Committee

What Happened
to Passover?
By Chaplain John
MARCH 2016 brings with it the conclusion of LENT
for the Christian and the celebration of Holy Week and
the Festival of Easter. Normally the Jewish Nobles
celebrate Passover during Holy Week. If you examine
your calendar this year, you find that Passover does not
coincide with Holy Week but is not celebrated until April
22nd. What happened to Passover? In trying to follow
Exodus 12:2, 13:3-4, 7-10 and Numbers 9: 2-3,
Judaism says that Passover, which they celebrate on
Nisan 15 (month) rather than Nisan 14, must not fall
before the northern hemisphere spring equinox (Tekufot
Nisan). The spring equinox establishes the first day of
spring. It is a solar, not a lunar, phenomenon. But
current Jewish calendar procedures periodically conflict
with the use of the equinox to establish the first month of
the religious year. In 2016, Nisan 14 (Passover) can fall
on March 22, the first opportunity for the 14th day of a
Biblical month to occur after the equinox. But the Jewish
calendar sets Nisan 14 at April 22nd. Why? Because the
Jewish year 5776 (the spring months of 2016 fall within
the Jewish year 5776) happens to be the 19th year of a
19 year calendar year cycle and is then, by Judaic
definition, a leap year (a 13th month must be added) This
forces the first month to begin one month later than it
normally would. So that is the explanation of where
Passover went this year. A leap year causes it to fall one
month later than normal! Traditions and rituals that give
meaning to our lives. As Shrine-Masons we recognize
each others faith and celebrate our own traditions. If you
are a Christian Noble, may you have a Blessed Easter.
And if your are a Jewish Noble, you will have to wait
until April 22nd to celebrate the Passover this year. May
you have a Blessed Passover in April.

The meeting was opened in due form by Ill. Potentate
Douglas Winter @ 7:00 pm.
Chaplain John Bennethum offered an opening prayer.
The flag was presented by the legion of honor and the
Potentate led the pledge of allegiance.
The Ill. Potentate then welcomed the Past Potentates
present.
Cold Sands: Noble Matt Wright obligated new
Nobles Jeffrey L. Brenner, Gabe R. Winzenried,
Lawrence A. Wegner, Jr. and Mathew Hanchek in a cold
sands ceremony.
At this time, the Ill. Sir called on Gerry Arnholt,
President of Scimitar Found. Gerry displayed two
special rifles which will be part of Sportsman’s Night
this year and pushed for Corporate Tables. He further
mentioned the hall remodel, the new Lodge Room and
the Garage.
Introductions: Getting back to business as usual,
Potentate Doug asked all new Nobles beyond the 4 just
obligated to stand and introduce themselves. Noble
Mike Fredrichs was warmly welcomed.
The ll. Sir then introduced 7 Past Potentates present
and proceeded to Trustees, Shrine Club Presidents, Unit
Heads and Emeritus members.
Minutes: Doug noted that the minutes had been
printed in the Tattler and Recorder Jim Christie moved
for the adoption of those minutes. The motion was
seconded and approved.
Correspondence: The Recorder noted two items of
correspondence which are available for review.
Petitions: Jim Read the petition of Robert Mead
Byrne and the Potentate ordered a ballot be spread.
Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer John Bugajski
discussed his report which had been placed on the
tables. John particularly noted restricted circus funds of
$49,103.53 on the balance sheet. He also noted the
purchase and installation of a Steamer in the kitchen.
Another item of interest was account #2351 which is for
deposits on rentals = $46,965.00. John then explained
the extra sheet which notes dates and what event is
scheduled.
A motion was made, seconded and passed to approve
his report as presented.
Black Camel: HP&P Dan Bast reported two deaths;
Elmer Wokosin and Warren Krueger. Chaplain John
offered a prayer.
Sick & Visitation: Chaplain John Bennethum noted
that he had e-mailed the list to the office, but it never
arrived, therefore no list for your review. See the office.
Trustees: Joe Schoner asked that, if we see anything
in need of repair, please let them know. Otherwise he
feels kind of “caught-up”. He did note the offer of an
8
organ for the Lodge Room.
The Potentate now spoke of the “terrorist situation”,
signage being put-up, etc.
Doug then called on P.P. Pete Salza and was told that
we are in “good shape” financially.
Bell Ringing: We received a Plaque from the
Salvation Army for our great performance and Doug
will present it to Frank Foti when Frank is present.
Doug the thanked all who had been helpful in getting
things “up and running so well”.
Back to the ballot, the Rabbans as well as the
Potentate declared the ballot clear and Doug stated that
Robert Mead Bryne was elected to become a Noble.
Circus: Jim Mahaney gave “a brief report” stating
that “all is in order”. Having no guaranteed min.
income we must work diligently at making our circus
successful. Please buy “Daddy Books”. Under the
current contracts, we must pay $247,000.00 out of our
investments up-front. It will be repaid.

Bunny Brunch is Saturday, March 19th.
Membership: Joe Brunk and Matt Wright reported
on the need for new members and suggestions made at
the Seminar. They are both very enthusiastic and Matt
suggested, for instance, the Animal Unit visiting a
lodge, speaking of the Shrine and offering help with
degree work if needed. Matt also said “every Noble
should be involved in membership recruitment” Go to
your Lodge ! How about each Unit or Club recruiting
for their Unit ?
The Potentate then presented P.P. Pete Hennig his
bound book of Tattlers from 2015 and the Photo Corps
presented his album of pictures.
Good of the Order: Barry Hersh asked a question on
security following the Terrorist threat. Doug stated that,
as far as Concealed Carry, “not by guests”. We will
discuss with security firm and with the MPD.

onions on April 28th. The first meeting on onions will
be 3/7/16.

February was a busy month for the Unit birthday boys, a
total of five. May their day be a fun time. Remember, you
are only as old as you feel. The Shrine Center will be having
some new outings and will need the Unit members to lend a
helping hand, so look forward to saying yes when asked.
Looking over our roster we find some of our members have
moved but are still located in the area, so drop them a call.
They may need some help or a kind word. Everyone needs
a smile to brighten their day. Did you know that experience
is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted?

See you in Church, Jerry Stein, Secretary
We had our animal installation of the Tripoli Shrine
Animals in January. The animals that were installed were
Director Ron Gustafson, Assistant Director Steve
Belongie, Treasurer Bob Ferguson, and Secretary Aaron
Ferguson. I want to thank Raymond for helping out on
the Assistant Director for that night. Ray could be our
next Cookie Monster for the animal unit.
We have our first parade for 2016. It's the St.Patrick’s
Day parade on Bluemound Road on Saturday, March 12,
2016. Time of the parade is 3:15. We meet at the Shrine
Temple at 2pm so I need to know who will be attending
the parade by March 5th. Our Spring meeting will be in
May sometime. Details will be in the May Tattler.

Happy birthday to everyone who shares a birthday this
month. Remember, we just mellow, cheese is the only
thing that ages. A reminder, we are back at Alioto’s
Restaurant. Lunch at noon, same price of $20.00 a person.
Reservations are nice, but if you came without ne, we
would say “Hi, sit and enjoy our Club.” You could also
help us sing the Loving Cup Song. When we sing, it
sounds like our heads are in the rain barrel. In March the
Shrine Center is going to need our help on some of the
projects they have lined up. We could give Dave and Doug
a raise, but they are at the top rung of the ladder now. They
do a good job. Someone said “In Youth we learn, in old age
we understand.” Remember, your dues are your obligation.
See you in church, Jerry Stein, Treasurer
Waukesha County SC
Our February meeting was to be held at The Lakeside
(Burke’s Landing), however, with several calls of
concern and a weather forecast of heavy snow for the
area, I decided to cancel our meeting. Thirty of us had
to stay home – rather safe than sorry. We welcome all
Shriners in the Waukesha County area and their Ladies
to come and become a part of our Club – call me for
additional details – 262.968.2734.
Our next meeting will be on March 2nd at the
Machine Shed restaurant. Once again, I can’t make any
promises about the weather, but we know the food
served family style will be hot and delicious. The menu
will be Pot Roast, Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy,
a tossed salad, green beans, dinner rolls and more. And
the company – well now, as always, it will be Great! If
you would like to join us, give me a call to make your
reservations by February, 29th.
Stay warm!

Wednesday of the month at the Spring Garden Restaurant
located at 1731 W. Layton Ave. The officers received a
number of suggestions for 2016 meeting agendas. The
suggestions have been reviewed and a final (hopefully)
2016 calendar will be “hammered out” during the March
meeting. The April 27th & May 25th meeting agendas
have been established and should prove interesting. More
info on that in the next Tattler.
Per a consensus of our attendant membership at the
January meeting, we will now meet at 5:30 pm for
socialization and chow down off the menu choices at 6:00
pm. Plans currently call for conducting an open meeting
during the 6:00+ phase of the evening.
All Nobles and their ladies are invited to the meetings.
To promote harmony with the restaurant management, we
ask that you contact the Secretary relative to the
your number of attendees. Thank You
