catering in Brewer, let’s try and support
this event.
There are plans in the works for an Open
House on July 24th at the new building on
1404 Broadway, look for details in this
issue. Have a great July, spend as much
time with the family as possible enjoying
the summer and remember “We never
have so much fun….Doing so much
good”.
If you can read this, thank a teacher.

Greetings Nobles, July is upon us and
June is history, we’ll report on the June
Ceremonial next month. The month of
May was busy after the Circuses, we
had the May 16th Hospital pre-screening
clinics throughout Anahland and gained
13 new referrals to Shriners Hospitals
for Children, the Springfield staff visited
Anah on Thursday, May 28th, and our
Clown Unit treated them to a great lobster
feed. The next day we our annual outreach
clinic at EMMC with the Springfield staff
seeing 64 new and old patients. Many
thanks to the Springfield staff for making
the trip up and to EMMC for hosting the
clinic.
The new building is taking shape, many
thanks to the crew who helped spruce up
the place on May 23rd and to our Assistant
Rabban, Noble Steve Trimm, for his many
hours of time preparing and organizing
the auction of the unneeded things on
May 30th. Hopefully we will be closing
on the building later this month and then
real work begins, we’ll need lots of help
we’ll keep you posted.
July starts out with the Imperial Session
in Houston attended by myself, Chief
Rabban Bob, Assistant Rabban Steve,
Treasurer Julian, and Recorder Larry,
along with our ladies. One of the big issues
on the agenda will be a dues increase in
the head tax we pay to Tampa for all of
Anah’s nobles, let’s hope for a no vote?
Don’t forget July is football month, the
East-West Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic,
Maine’s premier athletic event, will be
July 18 at Waterhouse Field in Biddeford.
The banquet is Friday the 17th at Jeff’s
will host the Lobster Bowl Classic at
6pm on July 18 at Waterhouse Field,
Biddeford. These two teams are comprised
of the best high school football players
in the state, North versus South, with all
monies collected going to support Shriners
Hospitals for Children. Hope to see you
there.
The Shriners International Imperial
Session will be held in Houston, Texas the
first week in July, at which time a number
of proposed by-law changes to be voted
upon. The proposed change most of us are
most interested in will be the proposal to
increase our per capita tax. We will let you
know the outcome in the next Anahgram.
That is it for now. Have a great summer.
Jesse Thomas, Potentate
“FROM THE
RECORDER’S
DESK”
Larry L. Hersom
Recorder, P.P.
What a great Ceremonial! Many thankyou’s go out to the Hancock County Shrine
Club, General Chairman Roger Grindle and
all of his committee chairmen, as well as
Potentate Jesse and his Lady Brenda. If you
didn’t have a GREAT TIME, it was your
own fault!
We want to welcome all of our new nobles
and ladies. Check out our units and shrine
clubs and get involved. We are a wonderful
organization, so get involved and see how
much fun you can have supporting our
Shrine Hospitals for Children and Anah
Shriners.

The Lobster Boat Unit’s first outing
was at the Special Olympics in Orono.
Four boats, manned by Captain Carroll
Chandler, Lt. Waylon Merchant, and
Treasurer Bill Sinford, and Member
Scott Edgerly. The refurbished Coast
Guard cutter was manned by your famous
reporter. Everything went well and a nice
sunny afternoon was appreciated by all.
The unit would like to express its
appreciation to Noble Wilbert Terry and
Lady Joan for their donation of the Coast
Guard Cutter back to the unit. Remember,
Noble Wilbert, you are welcome to ride
anytime. The unit will do its best to

I would like to take a minute to thank
the guys at A & S Auto for helping me
re-power the cutter, They went above and
beyond. Once again, thanks.
The first outing didn’t see the cutter in
much action, but we’ve gone from 125
horsepower to a 200 horsepower. I think
if there is any trouble, I can tow the whole
fleet, especially Lt. Waylon. I’m saving
the big black towline for you. It’s only
black because I dropped it and got it dirty.
We’ll report on June Ceremonial in
Ellsworth in our next writing.
Hope Nobel Runtz is feeling better
and recuperating. Can’t wait to get to
Jonesport to see if the sun is still shining.
Remember, let’s keep the boats up and
running. We have to be ready for the 4th
of July parades in Dennysville, Pembroke,
Eastport, and finish up in Jonesport. It
will be a long day and I hope the sun stays
out.
Birthdays are Forrest DeMeyer (who
came in with a bang and will go out the
same way), Ray Ellis, and Perley Merrick.
Honeymooners are Doug and Cheryle
Monson and Ray and Glenna Ellis.
Oops! The phone is ringing. Probably
it’s Noble Runtz telling me there is going
to be a lot of sunshine and the red carpet
will be laid out for me.

Hello Fellow Academicians and Ladies !
We would like to offer deepest
condolences to Paul Connelly on the
recent passing of his wife Louise. Paul
and his family are in our thoughts and
prayers.
Andy Mays advises us that with regard
to his medical issue his treatments have
been going well and that he went in for
surgery on June 24th at EMMC. We
continue to send him our best wishes as he
works through this unforeseen medical
situation.
As of this writing we have not yet had
the June Ceremonial in Ellsworth, so more
on that next time.
We had a very good meeting at the brand
new party room at Dysart’s on Broadway
in Bangor on May 27th. There was a great
deal of discussion about the new Anah
Shriners building. People are very happy
with it. Over the next few months they are
going to be doing some work on it and
preparing it for use which will begin in the
fall. Scott Hoyle reported on the recent
repairs done on the calliope which is also
very good news.
Dysart’s was very good to waive the
room and allow us to eat off the menu. We

look forward to our next meeting there
again on the last Wed. of October at 6:30,
and we would certainly recommend
Dysart’s on Broadway as a great location
for any group needing a party room for
their event.
Donnie Copeland says that Gin’s
humorous thought for the day is,
“Sometimes when your mind says you can
do it, you’re body says
‘You’ve
got to be kidding.’ “ :-)
Well, that’s about it for this month folks.
Hope you’re all enjoying your summer so
far.
Have a great July, and remember, never
hesitate to contact me at 989-2617 or at
rbilancia@roadrunner.com with any
questions, concerns, news, jokes, gossip,
nonsense, or just plain outright lies that
you would like to generously share with
our Nobles, Ladies, and Anah Shrinedom
in general. J
The last meeting was held at Pat’s Pizza
in Ellsworth. President Roger Grindle
called the meeting to order at 6:30. Old
and new business was discussed. The
club took in four new members, and
50 members were present. One date to
remember will be joint meeting with
Washington County November 3rd at the
Franklin Veterans Club. We have become
aware that some members are confusing
the Calling Post with telemarketer calls.
The Calling Post was set up to let all
members know of upcoming event dates
and monthly meetings, and it is working
out well. Remember, the club is in
adjournment for the next two months but
we’ll try to keep up with the local news.
The next meeting will be at Pat’s Pizza in
Ellsworth September 1st. Brian Lane won
the raffle for the evening. Also, Chuckles
was on good behavior. The meeting
adjourned at 7:00.
Now for the local news. Past Potentate
John Fernald and Lady Betty were seen at
Angler’s Restaurant in Searsport. Wonder
what they were fishing for? Haven’t
heard anything new about Past Potentate
and Lady Carole (with an e). Noble Tom
Fernald’s new boat has arrived and I heard
it has two 300HP outboards on it. He
didn’t tell me the name of it but I assume
it is called “The Gas Guzzler”. Noble
Jay Fernald has gone back to sea for the
summer. Lady Wanda Fernald is headed
to South Carolina. Noble Steve must be
eating out at his parents’ place. PP John
said his geese family is growing pretty
rapidly.

I got a close-up look at the new
Facts and Figures Unit at the Special
Olympics in Orono. It looked impressive.
I was wondering who manned the fire
department when all the guys were
in Orono and who shut the lights off.

Hello to you all. Our June meeting was
full of information and planning. Both of
our Divan Reps, Don Gordon and Tim
Dutch, were with us for the meeting, nice
to have them there. We could not do the
Special Olympics this year. We could not
get enough members to participate due
to conflict of scheduling of the Grand
Lodge and Scottish Rites. We are hoping
to have a yard sale Saturday, July 25, at
the Shrine Center, contact Ryan Collins
for information and donations. We have
a projected date of August 16, a Sunday,
for our luncheon in Millinocket around 1
o’clock. Hope to a lot of you then. The
June meeting brought about a change to one
of our member positions; Ryan Collins is
now our Flag Master. We all thank Grayson
for carrying this position for many years, a
job well done. Thank you Grayson. Our
meeting in July we will be reviewing our
bylaws and procedures, much needed for
all of us, and review our yard sale. Our
next meeting is Tuesday, July 7, at the
Shrine Center, 7 o’clock. Roger Frazier
was not present to claim the 50/50, sorry
Roger. Our July birthday’s are Nobles
Galen Adams, and Dean Pennypacker; 67
years in the Shrine, way to go Dean. Happy
Birthday to both of you. Anniversary best
wishes going out to Noble Richard and
Lady Kathy Goodness, Noble Harold and
Lady Susan Adams. That does it for us until
next month, stay safe.

Noble Gaylord E. Sundt, Reporter
I recently shared this with a few fellow
members and they felt I needed some more
opinions? So here goes!
I mean it really wasn’t my fault and I think
you will have to agree with me. After all,
I started it and was willing to see the task
through but,,,,, she wanted to do it and so
sent me outside to do ‘outside stuff’.
Anyway it all began as I was headed that
way, but as I passed by the cookstove I
noticed that the ash pan was full. And yes,
I could have left it for her to do. Being
the kind of guy I am, I proceeded with the
chore. I was interrupted 1/2 way through
the job and she said all she needed from
me was my shop vac that she would do it
and for me to get out.
So out I go to the garage and get the
vac and place it on the porch beside the
window where the cookstove sits. The
extra long 2 piece hose I’ve fashioned has
come apart so I proceeded to repair it in
the garage. See, the idea is to leave the vac
outside and run the hose, that’s the part that
sucks (remember that part) in through the
window. Along with the hose, the sucking
part, you run the power cord in through the
window as well.
The beauty of the plan is, the machine
stays outside! No noise, no dust! Beautiful.
The best part is though (remember this)
that the machine, being left outside, (you
know dirt,,,dust,,,noise),gets left turned on
and you can easily apply power on or off
by plugging or unplugging the power cord
right close by to where you are working at
a convenient receptacle. No more running
in and out, on and off. It’s all right there!
So I sold her on the plan explaining all the
steps she would save.
I now finish repairing the hose, the
sucking part, which she retrieves and I
retire to the garden as directed.
Now here is where it begins to get
interesting. Everyone knows that in order
for a shop vac to function properly, there
goes on a whole lot of sucking and a whole
lot of blowing in equal amounts. Right? At
least one would think so. You know, the
whole idea of the machine being outside
and so on,,,, And also the idea to use the
power cord, as explained earlier, to turn the
machine on and off. A big labor saver.
I’m in the garden, as directed, and I
hear, over the whining of the vac, some
loud language coming from the direction
of the sunroom. As I turn to look, it’s as if
the sunroom is on fire. She is exiting the
door, smoke and ash is coming out all the
open windows and chimney and the vac is
howling. She seems to be struggling to kill
the power. Remember the cord part?
So picture this, I’m sure you’ve guessed it
already, the supposed to be ‘sucking hose’

is plugged into the blowing hole on the
vac. In a panic to shut down the process,
the critical cord part takes second place to
the now critical switch.
Being unfamiliar with the machine is an
important part too, because in the time used
to find the switch, the cookstove is now
completely cleaned out.
Cleanup of the sunroom took a little
longer!
I spent the afternoon in the garden. Got the
whole thing weeded and managed to do
some planting done.
I can tell you this. Nature is not the only
one who abhors a vacuum. Am I right?
Now for convertible news. A few of us have
gone out for first runs of the season and
it looks like a busy one. Some members
went to Orono to show their support for

Well here we are July, warm weather and
the black flies are not bad, at my house
anyway. Parades this month are Dennyville
on the 3rd, Eastport, Machias, Bar Harbor,
and Jonesport on the 4th. On July 18th we
will be in Lincoln and Pittsfield.
On June 5th we attended Special Olmypics
with 13 drivers. We always look forward
to doing this parade as everybody is glad
to see us. On June 6th we had our golf
tournament at the Piscataquis golf course in
Guilford. Everybody seemed to have a good
time and the owners and employee’s treat us
great. Looking forward to next year. First
place team was Bob Sawyer, Bill Kirby,
Mike Washewski, and Frank Rolling. The
putting contest, which went right into the
hole, was won by Maged Shahi, who also
won closes to the pin. The 50/50 was won
by Kevin Sargent.
Birthday wishs this month go to Darlene
Emmons. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I have a

It’s hard to believe that the 4th of July is just
around the corner and that the year 2015 is
half over. But it is.
May was a very busy month for ANAH,
starting with the Circus followed closely
by the Screening Clinics. From what I
hear both were very successful. I worked
the Friday shows at the circus, and as usual
the afternoon show was lightly attended but
the evening show more than made up for
it. The mid-way attractions were a hit and
well utilized by the kids and we got 40% of
that income. The only negative comment
I heard about that was the fact that all the
acts were on one end and if you weren’t
setting on that end it was a little difficult to
see. The animals created this necessity and
I think it was great to have the big cats back
again. Next came the screening clinics on
May 16, and I understand we had a total of
12 referrals. That is more than we have had
in recent years. Two of the referrals came
from my clinic in Western Washington
County. I appreciate Donnie and Carolyn
Wright for being my greeters again. This
couple never refuses to help out. Tom King
also came dressed in his Funster’s costume.
Thank you, Tom. On behalf of ANAH I
would like to personally thank all those
who chaired and participated in this event
to make it the success that it was.

June will be a busy month also. It started
off with the Special Olympics Parade at
the University Of Maine Campus on June
5th. For those of you who have never
participated in this parade you’ve missed
the best parade ever. The enthusiasm that
these athletes show is just overwhelming
. Next would be the Hancock County
Lobster feed at my good friend Howard
Heath’s Place in Penobscot. It is always
well attended. Now comes the June
Ceremonial in Ellsworth. Believe me when
I say this will be a big one. Roger Grindle
is the Director General and he told me that
everything is in place and should go off like
clockwork. I am sure he is correct. I’ll fill
you in on the events in the next column.

May started off with The Bangor Shrine
Circus which, despite the participation of
most of the unit in all the shows, managed
to turn way overflow crowds from the three
thousand seat Cross Center. This success
may have due to the participation of Shorty
(Chris Fratello) the stilt walking clown
visiting all the way from Anchorage, Alaska
where he is Illustrious Potentate of Al Aska
Shrine. The second weekend saw us up at
Presque Isle for Shrine Circus in the even
farther north than Bangor.
Saturday, May 16 saw Dim-Wit (Scott
Kennard) and Fou (Martin Perfit) at Fort
Knox. (The Fort Knox in Maine, not the
one in Kentucky) where the dauntless duo
twisted balloons for the annual Families &
Children Together Foster Care & Adoption
Agency picnic.
Another spring Saturday means another
gig. This time it was on May 23 when
Dumpster (Dennis Dyer) and Tin Cup
(Tom Boone) made their way to Lincoln
where they rubbed elbows and socialized
with Senator Susan Collins. They even
had a picture taken with her. This led
them to conclude that Maine is fortunate
in having Senator Collins representing us
In Washington.
The Springfield Shriners Hospital Clinic
took place at Eastern Maine Medical
Center on May 29. We started at 8:00
AM and kept going until mid-afternoon.
The clowns present were Petals (Steve
Watson), Spiffy (Kerry Spofford), Fou
(Martin Perfit), Div-It (Duane Young), Papi
(Stan Baker), Bo-Bo (Donald Young), and
Scooter (Scott Boucher) making his return
to clowning even as he is undergoing re-hab
after having had significant surgery. The
registration process for patients and their
families was ably supported, backed-up,
administered, managed, and maintained
by two of our very able clown ladies: Pam
Spofford & Janice Young. Janice also
assisted families in filling out forms for
travel reimbursement form Sunshine Club
funds. This event truly speaks to the reason
for our existence as Shriners: to support the
Shriners Hospitals for Children, the staff,
the children and families who benefit from
the myriad services of our hospitals.
July Birthdays: Spiffy (Kerry Spofford),
Petals (Steve Watson), Patches (Shawn
Mott). July Anniversaries: Papi & Alison
Baker, Spiffy & Pam Spofford. Sincere
best wishes for many joyful returns to all
our July celebrants.

Greetings Nobles and Ladies.
Another month has come and gone.
Your Highlanders performed for Husson
University’s graduation in May. I was
told to stay home as I was inflicted with a
nasty virus that I dubbed Bent’s Plague. I
suffered for about a month with it. Started
with a tickle in the throat, then to a sore
throat, then to sinus congestion and then
to a sinus/chest infection to a loss of taste
and smell, and finally what started in April
ended about the 3rd week of May. YES,
I’ve made a big deal about an annoying
cold, while there are lots of people that
have far worse illnesses. I do so, because an
annoying cold to me is just that, annoying,
but to someone with a compromised
immune system (due to a serious medical
condition) it could be life threatening. I
urge all of my Brother Masons to consider
others health before you shake someone
else’s hand. You may think you have
allergies, but you might be on the start of
something like “Bent’s Plague” and infect
a dear friend and cause them to become
gravely ill. When in doubt, salute, give a
thumbs up, fist bump, or bow like George
Washington. Don’t put others in the
awkward position of explaining that they
have a weak immune system. I would argue
that NOT shaking hands is the Masonic
thing to do.
Now that my rant on shaking hands is
over, I can get back to band business. We
plan to attend the Ceremonial in Ellsworth.
We are scheduled to be in Bar Harbor on the
4th July. On the 7th of July we are going
to confer a Master Mason degree at Mystic
Lodge in Hampton. We have committed
to being the “duty band” at the Maine
Highland Games on August 15th. We’ll be
performing a variety of piping tasks during
the day. It is a lot of work, but it is also a
lot of positive exposure for the Shrine.
I’ve talked to a lot of people over the
years, and sometimes I come in contact
with someone with a very negative opinion
of Masonry. I don’t think I’ve ever
contacted anyone with a negative opinion
of the Shrine, and it is because the Shrine
does a better job of informing the general
public about the Hospitals (it is why we do
what we do). I explained to one person,
after they cited a series of things about
Masonry and what the Bible says about
secret societies (or what they claimed the
Bible said), I then informed them about all
the good that the Shrine does. I went on
to say that ALL Shriners are Masons, but
not all Masons are Shriners. I then asked,
“doesn’t the Bible say that you judge a
tree by the fruit it produces? Can a bad
tree produce good fruit?” At that point
they really didn’t know what to say. They
admitted they hadn’t thought of all the
Masonic Charities.
Masonry and the Shrine are some of the
most selfless charities that I’ve ever seen.
We do what we do, because we want to,
not because a Judge told us that we had to.
We enjoy our “work” and have a good time,
because we want to help others,. We also
have tangible results to encourage others in
the Hospitals, the Learning Centers, Bikes
for Books, and other projects.
I’ve missed more time in the band this
year than I think I missed in the previous
15 years combined. You’d think that I’d
enjoy not having to drive 2+ hours every
Sunday, but I miss what we do. A task that
is missed is a worthy task.
If you’d like to join us in having the
most fun allowed by law, contact me at
pipingleprechaun@hotmail.com. Until
next time, be blessed, and have a blessed
summer.
We Wheelers met at the home of Todd
Bridges for a well needed maintenance
clinic. Todds well equipped garage
satisfied all our parts and tools needs.
Coffee, donuts, and sandwiches were a
welcome distraction. If we do this again
next year, maybe we should include a
family cookout!
On Memorial Day We Wheelers convoyed
through the metropolis of Prospect. After
staging our rigs our fez’s stood tall at the
honors ceremony at the town park. A well
done Memorial service.
Once again We Wheelers paraded at
the Special Olympics in Orono. Eleven
Wheelers convoyed in this event. After

Greetings Nobles and Ladies,
I am the chairman of the fund raising
committee for the new building. How awesome
and exciting is it that Anah is going to have a new
building!!! Not that I didn’t love the old building.
We all have many great memories from our old
building. It certainly served its purpose and then
some over the years. The new building will have
400+ parking spaces,
with room for all and
will be a great venue
for events. This will $1,000,000.00make it much more $900,000.00attractive for outside
entities to rent also. $800,000.00The new building will $700,000.00help keep our current $600,000.00-
members more excited $500,000.00and wanting to be a
part of the change, and $400,000.00will also help attract $300,000.00new members. We $200,000.00already have a great $100,000.00building
committee
working on getting it
ready to go. Look for
the announcement in
this Anahgram for the upcoming open house.
This committee has been given the task of setting
a fund raising goal to pay for and improve the
building as well as coming up with ideas of how
to raise the money to meet that goal. We have
decided on an initial goal of $1,000,000 over 5
yrs.
I want to make it clear that we will have
by-laws in place stating that any money given for
the new building will be spent to reduce the loan
or improve the building. None of this money will
be spent on maintenance or operating expense.
To some this may seem like a big number,
but one thing I have learned about the folks in
Anah is that when we work together we can
accomplish anything.
It’s going to take all of
us helping to secure the
future of Anah through
this effort.
You can always send
a check as a donation to
help, but some levels of
giving have perks that
you might enjoy, such
as a reserved parking
space just for you for
three years or your name
or a loved one’s name
displayed permanently.
The next page is a list a
ways to give, along with
a Fezometer that Brad
Prout designed to track
our progress. No donation is too small or too big.
Respectfully,
Doug Dulac

Medical Center in Bangor ME. Dr. Drvaric
and Dr. Masso along with a resident
doctor Dr. Orvets and a PA with nurses
and technicians from Shriners Hospital

We had 1 Funsters , 7 Clowns and 4 Anah
Ladies to help with greeting the children,
registration, escorting them to x-ray and
to their appointment. At the appointment
area we had 4 Anah Ladies greeting and
processing each child for their appointment.
With all the great help we had that day
everything went very smooth.
This year we want to thank Hood Milk for
their donation for the milk and
Coca-Cola for the soda and water.

Anah Band has been having some fun so
far this year. We once again had a
wonderful time playing at the Special
Olympics parade. We all agree that this is
the parade that we most look forward to
playing and is always the most fun.
Special thanks to our band friends for
driving and playing on the trailer with us.
Parade season is in full swing and the
4th of July is next on our list. We generally
stay very busy and do our best to raise
money for the children that need care at
Shriner’s Hospitals, however we are still
waiting to hear from some towns on where
we will be performing next.
We are in hopes that others will take on
learning a new instrument and come and
play with us. The more people we have,
the more we can earn to give directly to
the children at the hospitals. Practice times
are every 1st and 3rd Monday of the
month in Newport.

The membership of NPSC held their June
meeting in Patten at the club house of the
Rockabema Snow Rangers. After a great
attitude adjustment time the Nobles feasted
on a wonderful baked, stuffed chicken
breast with all of the good things to go with
it including fresh, hot biscuits. There were
30 in attendance for this supper. We had
guaranteed 35 so this supper cost the club
a little extra.
President Elwell called the meeting to
order at 7 o’clock and led the gathering
in the Salute to Our Flag. Grace was
immediately offered by Noble Perkins. At
the conclusion of the meal the kitchen staff
was given a fine round applause for their
efforts of the evening. The minutes were
presented by the secretary and the finances
were reported by the treasurer. Each
report was accepted singularly without any
comments or questions. Raleigh Hanscom
had the dubious distinction of paying the
only fez fine for the evening. Ronald
McComb won the 50/50 raffle which he
graciously gave back to the club.
An Entered Apprentice from Pine Tree
Lodge #172, Steve Worchester was the
guest of Noble Doug McCafferty for the
evening’s meeting. Dignitaries present for
the evening were DDGM Right Worshipful
Byron Sanderson, Aide Emeritus; Paul
Thornton, Chief Greater Emeritus;
Durward Shedd and PP Tony Bowers.
A card was circulated for Noble Herman
Peabody wishing him back to better health.
Noble Wallace Harvey let us know that
Noble Chet Chase has remarried. Wallace
circulated a card of congratulations for the
newlyweds which all of us were more than
happy to sign.
PP Bowers spoke a bit about the new
building on Outer Broadway in Bangor.
He also mentioned the upcoming August
22, Super Supper of the Aroostook Shrine
Club. Tickets are now available and there
are some great cash prizes that go along
with the purchase of the supper ticket.

Greetings All:
Many of you will remember May 11,
2015. That was the meeting at which we
voted to purchase our new meeting place.
The Past Masters Unit also held their first
meeting in the new building that night. Not
as many attended as we had hoped but we
still had a successful meeting. The Funsters
Unit also met that evening. They were still
in session when we closed our meeting and
left for home.
Our leader, Noble Ken Swett talked again
about plans for the future. On Sept 26 at
the Shrine Temple we are planning on a
30th anniversary celebration of our Past
Masters unit. More on this as time goes
by. Please save that date, open to all, semi
public. Any suggestions YOU may have
will be most helpful.
As mentioned in the last Anagram I am
always looking for input from you for this
column. Any information you might want
to have inserted should be in my hands by
th 25th of the month. I need to get it to the
editors soon after so they will have time to
get it in.
The Editors of the Anagram do a great job
in getting this magazine out and on time,
especially with all the articles they have to
put in. I hope you all thank them when you
see them.
We are always ready to perform the MM
Degree at your Lodge upon request from
you. We can either do the whole degree or
come and assist your officers in filling a
station or two where needed.
DON’T FORGET… our monthly
meetings are held on the SECOND
SUNDAY of the month at 2:00 p.m . You
will be notified by telephone (via the
calling post) as to where it will be.
Wednesday evening May 27 (a very hot
evening weatherwise) some 12 plus Past
Masters journeyed to Benevelont Lodge
at Carmel to exemplify the Master Mason
Degree. Our best wishes to Bro. Jamey
L. Brown and Bro. Robert W. Jarius for
a long, happy and Masonic life. Rt Wor
Frank Theriault sat in the East for both new
brothers. In spite of the heat there was a
turnout of over 30 brothers from various
lodges.

Membership
Committee
By Noble Doug Dulac
Hello everyone from the membership
committee. I wanted to update you all a
little bit on membership. First of all let me
tell you we had a very successful Hospital
Support Night event on Sat. August 2nd.
This is something the membership comm.
put on to raise awareness of what we
really do as Shriners which is support the
hospitals. We had a fantastic meal put on
by the Second Section, who did it free
of charge by the way, a silent auction,3
patients from the hospitals that spoke and
some great entertainment by the Skyliners
band. Because it was our first time doing
this and being in the middle of the summer
I was a little nervous about what kind of
turnout we would get. I am very pleased to
say that we had over 120 in attendance! The
deal was that every penny of profit we made
would be split between the Boston and
Springfield hospitals. We actually will be
sending them $1062.00 each! I have spoken
with Jesse Thomas our Chief Rabban and
it looks like we will do this again next year
hopefully on May 16th.
In addition to that the membership
comm. is meeting once a month and will
be starting phone calls to all those nobles

MAY CALENDAR WINNERS!
Noble Fred Patterson, Reporter
Greetings Nobles and Ladies. It’s hard
to believe this but we are ready to
announce our sixth Annual Noble of the
Year that will be held on October 3, 2015
at Anah temple. My assumption is that it
will be at the new Broadway temple and
not the Main Street facility. This year’s
honoree has been chosen by the Unit and
we are proud to announce that Noble
Doug Sukeforth was, hands down, chosen
as the 2015 Noble of the Year. Doug’s
dedication to Anah goes above and beyond
and anyone who knows Doug would be
proud to call him a friend. Tickets are
only $15.00 per person for an evening of
dinner, silent auction and dancing to the
live music of Retro Rockerz. This is sure
to be a good time so keep your eyes out for
tickets for the event.
The June Ceremonial will be behind us
when you read this Anahgram, so let me
congratulate all of the new Nobles of Anah
Shrine who were initiated in Ellsworth.
Stay tuned for the August Anahgram for
further information on that event. Second
Section is still actively selling Gun Raffle
tickets for a drawing every day in
September 2015. Talk to any Second
Section member for yours today or contact
me at anahsecondsection@yahoo.com
and I’ll see to it that you get your ticket.
The ticket price is only $20.00 each and
we are only selling 1000 tickets. Each
ticket that is drawn will be put back into
the drawing so everyone who purchases a
ticket gets 30 chances of winning. If there
are any Nobles out there that may have
tickets that they don’t think they can sell,
contact me to get them back and we’ll see
if we can get them into the hands of
someone else who may be looking for
some to sell. Keep in mind that as of this
publication, we only have two more
months to sell the balance of the tickets
that we have.
Noble Tom Beitweg will be contacting
Nobles for help with parking during the
Waterfront Concerts in Bangor this
summer. To date we have done three
shows and it has been very well received.
We are using the ERA Dawson parking lot
again this year and we should be able to
fill it at all events. Take a look at their web
site to see when you may be able to help as
this is a real good fundraiser for the Unit.
With the summer months upon us we will
not meet again until Friday, September 4,
2015 at the Shrine temple. Our annual
summer party was discussed at our June
meeting and will be held on August 8 at

Greetings from Schoodic Shrine Club:
We had our May meeting at the
Dennysville Congregational Church
Parish Hall. We had three very special
guests in attendance. Lauren Cook, USA
National Miss Maine Teen, Crystal Annis,
USA National Miss Downeast Maine, and
Cassidy Carr, 2015 Junior Miss St. Croix
Valley were all in attendance and presented
over 10,000 can tabs to the Shriners
Hospitals. They have been collecting
these tabs for several months. We had
fifteen present at the meeting. Noble Ike
conducted a short meeting after supper.
The money collected by the church for the
supper was donated back to the Boston
Burns Hospital - $105.00.
Nobles Dennis Bryant and Weibley
Dean II worked at the Screening Clinic
held at the Calais Regional Hospital on
May 16th.
Nobles Buster Hayward and Earl Jensen
have been in the hospital recently. We
wish them a speedy recovery and all the
best.
Our July meeting will be held at Eastern
Lodge No. 7, Eastport, on Wednesday,
July 22nd at 5:30 pm. This is the annual
steak feed. They are always delicious.
This is for Nobles and Blue Lodge guests.
This is not a Ladies Night.
Our Potentate will make his annual
visitation to Schoodic Shrine Club in
August. It will be on Saturday, August
22nd at 1:00 pm at the Meddybemps
Community Center.
Nobles, plan to join us at our meetings.
There is always great food and
conversation.
‘Til next time!

Anah Chanters
Noble Carl Stewart, Reporter
With the Ceremonial behind us we can
now relax for a fun filled Summer. I hope
everyone had a good time. I wanted to say
thanks to the Chanters who were able to
march in the Special Olympics parade in
Orono this year. It may be the shortest
parade that we participate in but it is by
far the most rewarding. Nowhere will
you ever march for a more enthusiastic
and appreciative crowd.
I highly
recommend it to all units. Now we can
look forward to moving in to our new
temple. It looks like it will be a great
facility for us.
Have a good Summer
Widow’s Club
Lorena Fenlason, Reporter
Hi Ladies,
This is the first article of the Widow’s
Club.
Many of you have received a letter from
me back in May.
I know there are many of you that I
didn’t have names and addresses.
I would love to hear from you , so just
call me or email me .
My number is 989-3664 or 745-8819,
my email is lorenafenlason@gmail.com.
I would like to get this club going so we
can as a group enjoy some of those shrine
activities. Not only would we still be a
part of what our husbands dedicated time
to, but we would also still help with the
support of the hospitals. A few times a
year we could just get together to spent
social time to get to know each other.
Peggy Kaufman is in charge of the
widows pins. If you have not received one
and would like one , just get in touch with
her. Her number is,
924-6610.
Her
email
is
hammerdn6610@yahoo.com. I’m sure
she would love to hear from you.
Until we can meet. Have a great
summer. Lorena Fenlason

The Feztival
of Trees
Bob Pullen, Reporter
On May 18 the Feztival of Trees
Committee met at the new building on
Broadway to get a feel for how we will
present this years event. It is without a
doubt when I say this will be even better
than last year’s Feztival. Hear Ye Hear Ye
we will have plenty of parking. I bet you
never thought you’d hear that! We do
have our work cut out for us over the next
several month but rest assured you’ll be
pleased with the outcome.
We will be displaying more trees than
before but we are not totally set on a
number quite yet. We want to present
things in a tasteful but awe inspiring way.
This event has only one way to go and
that is continuing to get better year by
year.
I want to thank all those involved with
securing the new facility and giving Anah
a breath of fresh air. We are entering into
a new era and the Feztival of trees hopes
to be the premier event to bring this to
fruition. We are trying to take small steps
this year in order to keep a class act so all
of Anah’s family will be proud of what we
are doing. This is your home and your
fraternity please keep it the best it can be
by helping whenever you can. And by you
I mean each shriner and each lady. We
men would be behind the eight ball if it
were not for our BETTER half. See ya
next month. Sorry for missing last month’s
article. I will blame it on a senior moment,
but I’ve had those for many years.
Remember mistletoe is good all year
round.

Well, we have hit the half year mark of
2015. What a joy it is to have some
warmer weather again. Gardens are
growing and in a few weeks we will be
harvesting some fresh veggies from the
garden. It is also great to be able to ride
the side-by-side again and not freeze to
death. Summer months are by far the best
time of year.
For some reason the June WCSC article
did not make the June Anahgram. The
May WCSC Meeting was held at Stewart’s

night. The following people were present:
Past Potentate Ed Pellon; High Priest &
Prophet Brad Prout; Directors Staff:

When Allah calls, then our friends obey and fold thier tents and steal away. To
the land where the crystal waters flow, where the Beautiful Palms of Allah grow.
Life is a story in volumes three, the past, the present, the yet to be. The first
we’ve written and laid away, the second we’re reading day by day, The third

Schoodic Shrine Club, and is being held at
the Lubec American Legion in Lubec.

Barren View Golf Course in Jonesboro.
The June Ceremonial weekend is fast
approaching and will be over by the time
you receive your next Anahgram. I am
sure that a good time was had by all who
attended.
Please keep Noble Robert and Lady
Sandi Look in your prayers. She has been
in Boston for another procedure and at this
writing is scheduled to return to Maine on
July 2nd, but will have to return to Boston
weekly for several weeks for check-ups.
The Downeast area will have a football
player from Cutler playing at the East/
West Football Game. This is quite an
honor for the student, as well as his
parents.
Shriners were all excited about the
possibility of a new building with adequate
parking for the events that they hold. On
May 11th a Special Meeting was held and
a large turnout present voted to move
forward with the purchase of the building
located at 1404 Broadway in Bangor.
