Quaker City Montco Shrine Club
A Night In Casablanca
On May First an intrepid group of adventurers from
Quaker City Montco Shrine Club approached the outskirts
of Casablanca, the restaurant, on Route One in Warminster. The early arrivals waited comfortably in the cozy bar
of the restaurant passing time, until the appointed dinning hour, as people normally do in that environment
with conversation and drink. At 6:30 pm the group was
lead into the dining area, a large room lined with low
couches, over stuffed pillows and an interesting North
African décor.
The feast began with a ceremonial washing of the
hands as would a typical Moroccan Family since meals
are eaten communally, no utensil just flat bread and your
hands. What followed was an eight course banquet consisting of hummus, babaganoush, flat bread, Bastia (an egg and chicken
dish wrapped in flaky filo dough), a lamb or rabbit course, followed by a
choice of either shishkabob or chicken prepared in three different styles,
then couscous with roasted vegetables, fresh fruit, baklava and finally a
glass of mint tea.
Entertainment was supplied by a curvaceous belly dancer twisting and
turning to Middle Eastern Music who encouraged local participation. The
general feeling of members and guests was that this meeting was more
of an experience than just a meal and a speaker.
Fellow Nobles
As the "new kid on the block" I have
enjoyed meeting many nobles and their
ladies over the last couple of months. As
a Master Mason I have learned that the
more you put into an endeavor the more
you get out of it. The same is true with
being a Shriner.
The success of our circus clearly
demonstrated that. Many volunteers
worked for months planning and others
worked endless hours during circus
week. Thank you. It was a success.
I am very proud to have been there
6
with you. I look forward to working
with you as we put that same enthusiasm, into making our shrine
stronger. Some have told me that we
do not have the same number of
members as we use to. But there is
no reason we can't be stronger than
the past.

The Memorial Day Ceremony and the picnic which
followed respectfully, was well done and some great
fun. We honored three Yachtsmen who joined the
Caravan of Black Camels since last May. Some 50
Nobles, Ladies and friends enjoyed this feast at the Elk

“Across the Sights and Along the Lines”
of The The LuLu Rod and Gun Club
By Chas Pierro, 1st VP, LuLu Shriners Rod and Gun Club.
Our Club Top Shot competition took place early in April
and the several members were right on the mark. Noble
MarkWahn took top honors with a score of 480+ out of 500.
Following closely behind were Top Gun Nobles.
Stu Konefsky, Harris Brooks and Gary Portnoy. Club Past
President, Tom Spoltore was kind enough to turn over the duties of Range Officer to me for that event, and I can assure that
all of these guys could hold their own on any firing line.
That said we were pleased when Nobles Wahn, Konefsky
and Portnoy were able to participate and represent the Club
on May 17 at an invitational TOP GUN
event that was sponsored by the
renowned Masonic Police Shield and
Square Club. Our 3 best guns shot
against their best 3 guns, with the
combined score taking top honors.
Our Club all held their own and fell
just short of the astonishing score of
498 that was set by LuLu Noble Hugh
McGinniss representing the Shield
and Square Club that day. All one can
say is that we wish they could have
taped the whole event and play it as a
public service message to be viewed by any “bad guys’ who
may be lurking on our Philadelphia 5-county area streets.
The above photo shows both teams. The only missing
photo is of our Club Past Pres., Tom Spoltore with his “Crying
towel.” Cheer up Tom! Hopefully, we can recruit Noble Brother
Hugh (who is also a LuLu R & G Club member) to represent
our team at the next staged match.
Looking ahead, by the time you read this article 18 of our
members will have returned from our June 4-6 LuLu sponsored Striper Tournament in Cape Cod with their boxes full of
filets and tall tales. Great food and the best camaraderie will
I am sure have been enjoyed by all.

scattergun expert Noble Karl Beckers.
Speaking of avid shooters and sportsmen, Club members
Karl and Noble Ray Bloemker just returned from a week long
hunting safari in South Africa during which they successfully
harvested some specimen plains game including trophy gemsbok, impala, wildebeest and warthog.
Future Club events are being planned for each month, the
time and dates for which will be listed on our Club webpage.
We will be having at least one shooting event every month.
Those events will include trap, sporting clays and handguns.
Club members will also be practicing hard to improve their skills as they
prepare for our second annual Club
live bird Brew and Blast event that is
in the planning stages for sometime
this fall. While I am sure we all would
agree with our new Firearms Safety
Committee Chairman Mark Wahn that
alcohol and firearms certainly don’t
mix, anyone who attended our event
last year can attest that at the end of
a most satisfying 2 days of sporting
clays and pheasant hunting, we all enjoyed the wonderful libations and culinary treats that were
prepared and served by our R & G Club Master Chefs.
If you have always wanted to learn how to handle a
firearm safely, or maybe cast a fly line, why wait? All you need
do to join the Club is to contact any of the Officers and members listed below, and you will be assured of having the time
of your life and many happy memories..
As we sign off, I am not sure if anyone came up with the
winning answer to the question of what type of fish do you
need to catch in Pennsylvania to be issued an angler award
from the state, and how long does that fish have to be? Send
in your correct answer to the Club President and win a $25.00

First Joint Meeting of Conestoga Shrine Club
and Delaware County Shrine Club
The first joint meeting of Conestoga Shrine Club
and Delaware County Shrine Club was a rousing
success. We had been collaborating for approximately one year to make this meeting a possibility.
It finally materialized and was lots of fun. The
magician was very good and everyone had a great
time. We plan another joint meeting for November
20. This meeting will take place at the Delaware
County restaurant Townhouse in Media. We hope
everyone will plan to attend.
The circus was a huge success and we want to
thank everyone that was involved. We especially
want to thank the whole Delaware County Shrine
Club group that worked two booths. The line to the
funnel cake booth was constant and at times you
could not see the end of it. We appreciated the
accolades that Illus. Sir Bob Gold gave us for the
success of the circus.
By the time you receive this, Ocean City weekend will be over. I hope everyone had a great weekend and I thank Delaware County Shrine Club for
hosting the Divan and Illustrious Sir Bob Gold at
the beautiful Impala Hotel. I know it will be a fun
weekend.
Don’t forget about our next meeting that will take
place in June. We have scheduled Dr. Dave Bressler
to speak about his business and his success in
business. It should be very informational.

Egointegrity vs Despair
The three perspectives that I
wanted to talk about last time, but
didn’t have space to include are grace,
providence and hope. These three
resources offer us a positive way to
respond into our futures of aging.
Grace, first of all, is the framework
that
the bible places around all of life.
Father Otto Lolk
If it can ever get into the depths of our
Chaplain of LuLu
Past Master,
being that this life we’ve been living,
Frankford Lodge 292 come to us out of gracious generosity
302-645-0819
that came to us from someone who is
boundless in resources and had nothing but blessing at heart
for you; if a sense of grace is in fact the reason on which our
little life floats, it we think of ourselves as the creation and
object of grace, then we have every reason to feel good about
ourselves no matter what our circumstances; whether physical, economic, mental, or some other circumstance that
attends the way we come into the evening of our life.
Let me ask you to think for a moment: what do you finally
depend on for your self understanding? What if you had but
one thing to say to another about what would best describe
your essence? You have only three options from which to draw
on your answer. Either you could draw on in terms of what
you have, that is you could say: I am so much net worth, I own
this or that. Having is one way that one could identify oneself.
Secondly you can identify yourself in terms of what you have
done. That is you can make the performance, on the stage of
history, to be the most important thing that you want to tell
someone else. Somebody asks you what is most important
about you, you could say I am an actor, a real estate agent, a
parent, a priest, or whatever. In other words you can answer
either in terms of what you have or what you have done as to
what is most important about you.
The third possibility is the realm of being. That is you can
suggest that the most important thing about you is that I was
created by a generous, gracious God who wants me to live.
What is most important about me is that God created me. God
loves me no matter what; God will be the source of my future,
even beyond death. If your sense of being is that you are
graciously called into existence by God, then what is most
important about you is not what you have or what you have
done; they are largely insignificant about you. You have every
reason however, to be grateful for all you have been given.
The second resource is a thing I call Providence. Providence is the belief that history is more a matter of destiny than
of happenstance. Instead of thinking that my past was just a
10
jumble set of chaotic circumstances that have no rhyme or
reason, providence helps me to believe that God, at my birth,
gave me real power. He gave me the abilities to act and
choose, on the stage of history with my own genuine autonomy. Yes, He shares life with me but does not control me as a
puppeteer. My creation was the moment when God ceased to
be everything, so that I could become something. It is the two
of us, God and me, who now share power together. Which is
to say that God cannot be accused of being the sole cause of
everything that happened to me. The image, I get, is that this
ingenious God surround my life like an invisible shield, (like
ozone that shields us from the deadly rays of the sun), which
means that nothing had come through to touch my life that
didn’t first pass through Him. God didn’t originate everything
that happened to me, but He certainly touched my life, in such
a way, that those things that happened to me, turned into
growth & compassion. God does not protect me from all pain,
but in every situation there is a way for me to grow and to be
blessed. Which means that I can look back on life, that I had
lived, and see that even in my mistakes, the sins I sinned and
were sinned against me, that lo & behold, God had always
been part of it all and even transmuted those negatives into
something good.
The third resource is Hope. Hope is the ability to look forward with expectancy. Hope is the ability of believing that
what lies ahead, also has promise and possibility. The way I
learn to look expectantly toward the future is to remember,
reflectively, that goodness and mercy had followed me all the
days of my life.
I believe, if you can take Grace as your way of understanding yourself now, Providence as your way of understanding
the past, then Hope will be the lens through which you look
into the future. The same mystery, who gave you life, will give
you a future every bit as ingeniously good as He gave you your
past. The God of the good old days can be trusted for the good
new days as well. You will be able to say with conviction the
words of the psalmist: “Surely goodness and mercy have
followed me all the days of my life”. Psalm 23 and have reason
to believe that “I will dwell in The House of the Lord forever.”
Amen.

LuLu 2014 Circus Photos
Circus, Circus, Circus!
What a great 2014 LuLu Circus. Elephant
rides, hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn, funnel
cakes and much, much more. Even the rain
on Friday night didn’t dampen our enthusiasm as we got through it and the show went
on. The crowds on Sunday were HUGH, but
we managed to handle it all with our
volunteers.
They were fantastic. Stinky, Finky and
Cochairman Dave “Digger” Caddick want to
thank all of them for the hard work and
tremendous dedication that they showed over
the four days. Hamid Circus did a fantastic
job entertaining
the crowd as
they always do.
All in all, it was
another great
year.
We are already planning and working on
our rodeo in September. If you are interested
in joining a great group of Nobles and
Ladies and volunteering to help us at
the Rodeo, contact Doug “Finky” Fink at
[email protected] or Don “Stinky”
Fink at 610-633-3333 See you all at the rodeo.

LuLu Motor Unit Report for Spring 2014
By Carl Levin, President
Our Motor Unit is alive and well and we have been
growing in membership. Our meetings are starting to get
better attendance, also. We had the usual help at the circus in the parking lot Nobles: Dave Handler, Dale Estus,
Illustrious Sir Roy Knauth, Chris Schneider, Nate Cooper,
Emil Gombosi, Lady Maryann Brown, and Myself.
Most of the shows had fair attendance, but Sunday
night’s show had a turnout that rivaled the Rodeo. We
had cars parked all over the place and not much room
for many more. Illustrious Sir Joel Ward was in the
hospital during most of the event or he would have
attended as would Hal (Big Huey) Myers had he been in
good health.
We did not have a great turnout at the Doylestown
Memorial day Parade, led by our Colonel, Chuck Quaste,
but neither did most of the other clubs and units. It
seems that a lot of the Nobles go away for this holiday.
This is one busy weekend with memorial services at
cemeteries, Rolling Thunder Ride to DC., Wounded
Warrior Walk and Ride and of course picnics.
If you are involved with many organizations and vet-
erans groups as I am, you just cannot do them all. Those
who helped out at the circus were invited to The Potes
Parlor by Illustrious Sir Bob Gold after the last show. I
am sure those who attended had a nice time.
Maryann and I had to be somewhere else that
evening, so we had to miss it. For those who don’t already know, on June 14, 2014 I will be riding in The
Iron Butt Rally on my Harley. It involves riding 1000
miles in 24 hours.
I have already collected $150.00 in sponsor fees, all
of which goes to MDA. Lane Bradley and my daughter
Tamara will also be participating in the ride. I will be
bring Lane into the Motor Unit next year.
We do need some of the newer members to step up
and take some of the officer’s positions, then move up to
the Presidency in the future. This can’t be the
Roy-Joel- and Carl show forever. We are all getting older.
In closing, I would like to thank all of you who have
helped out and participated in making our unit successful
this year and look forward to seeing you at our summer
events. I hope to see you in September at our next meeting.

LENAPE VALLEY SHRINE CLUB
Part II – The Later Years 1998-2014
By Noble Harry Speth, Historian
In the year 2000, with membership growing and interesting Speakers, the Club moved its meeting place
to the V.E. Club in Feasterville. Also
this year, the Summer Board Meeting
was moved since the Mill Race Inn
was flooded. R.W.P.G.M. Edward
Weisser addressed the meeting
in October.

depicting Past Potentates was
actually “hooked” by the Ladies of

then began to decline. Today,
the Club has approximately
50 members.

Zale Stein H.P. & P To LuLu Nobles
Thanks to the Fink Brothers and many volunteers, the
circus was a success. Followed by the monster car show,
I can see the adrenal high. The fall
will bring the rodeo. Again, it will
be a Fink Brother’s production. Don
and Doug are expert producers,
however they cannot do it alone;
volunteers are needed. Come out,
help the shrine, enjoy conversation
with your fellow nobles.
My lady, Gail, and I attended
Spring MASA. I found the seminars
informative. More importantly, interacting with other shrines,
trumped the seminars. Nobles, our issues, are not specific
to LuLu. Rather they are global. If we are to continue in
our mission, steps must to be initiated today. The potentates to be need your help. Remember, the only stupid idea
is the one not mentioned.
July will bring Imperial Session. As a delegate, I will
attend, along with LuLu’s other delegates, attend full multi
all day seminars. I hope to gather positive ideas to benefit
LuLu.
Throughout this year, I have attended many club meetings. Regrettably, scheduling prevented my attending unit
meetings. I will endeavor to do better.

A Message From The Chief Rabban
Nobles - as Chief Rabban I am very proud to be your Liaison representing LuLu
Temple when we travel.
It takes many volunteers to make a successful circus and it is because of YOU
that we had 7 excellent shows. Looking forward to the same volunteer enthusiasm at
the Rodeo!
The Imperial session begins in July in Minneapolis. This is a great opportunity to
join with fellow Nobles from across the globe, to get into the convention spirit, to hear
success stories from former patients, and to better understand how you are part of
this philanthropic organization.
Remember It's not what the Shrine can do for you but what you can do for the
Shrine regarding the children under our care for years to come.
Thank you
Matt CR
Bucks County Shrine Club
Even when we can get all the help in the world something always seems to get us in trouble and they say
lightning never strikes twice in the same spot. Our own
Captain Jack Richards was able to but together a full
boat crew for the Doylestown Memorial Day Parade.
Dave Caddick rushed to have our truck repaired and on
the road, the tank was full but as fate would have it our
long time driver Brad Houchins had a problem with the
electric jack and we were unable to attend at the last
minute. Thanks to all who promised and help try to get
the float in the parade it is not an easy job and we all
need to work together.
Our speaker on May 6th was Ill Sir Joel Brookstein
with a presentation on our Hospital in Philadelphia and
what is new and going on. June 3rd brought Duke Donley Bucks County Sheriff and member of Lu Lu Temple
to our round dinner. Well it may not be a round up but
it is the last meeting until the fall.
4th of July Parade in Feasterville on what else
July 4th He can be hailed at 215-264-5121 or email
him at [email protected] . Since there are not
that many going to Imperial this year it may be a
great time to make plans to help us out. We still
need some help on refurbishing some of the melted
ice burgs of the float this year and the truck will be
ready for sure.
Our Blind Squire is almost sold out of his winter
stash of nuts to help keep our float afloat and orders can
be given to Past President and now Chief Rabban Matt
Hallowell 215-620-1741or [email protected] or
Ill Roy Knauth 215-355-3796 or [email protected]
either will be happy to take you order.
At our May Director’s meeting our Lady’s Auxiliary
gave us a sample of the material that they are using to
have a new banner made out of to our parades. Our
Ladies have always been our biggest supporters so I
would like to take this time and thank each and every
one of them for all the work they have done to help keep
us afloat.
Buck’s is still working on invitations to Crescent
Temple Nobles who live here in the county
and asked them to join us with their ladies at
our meetings the first Tuesday of each month at
Vereinigung Erzgebirge 130 Davisville Road
Warminster Pa 18974 Third Vice President Nat
Cooper 267-679-9137 [email protected]
will be more than happy to take your reservations
but please no later than Monday morning before the
meeting and preferably the Friday before. We are
looking forward to seeing you there.

LuLu Mounted Guard
In my last article I was remiss in mentioning
that Ill sir Gary Davis also help share the load for
Lu Lu Temple in pulling the Hospital Float at the
St Patrick’s day Parade.
The first weekend in May brought fair weather
to our ride at Fair Hill MD again this year. We had
all six of our horses ridden by Ill Sir Manny, Ill
Sir Roy, Ill Sir Bill, President Ron, Secretary
Charles, Nobles Wild Bill and Dale. Also occupying us we three of our Ladies our President Wife
Shirlee, my wife Sharon and Dale’s girlfriend
Gwen who not only brought out our lunch but
joined us in the park for a wonderful time. We
were also joined by another M.A.S.A. rider and
his wife for the afternoon. Saturday evening at
dinner we were also treated to many humorous
stories told by Fran Norbeck who came down for
the evening and was to give us a demonstration
on riding English the following day. Unfortunately
our weekend was cut short due to the death of Ill
Sir Gary Davis’s mother. We broke camp early
Sunday morning returned the horses to their
stable and were all able to make the services for
Gary and his family.
This year we are now down to six riders able
to drill with Drill Master Ill Sir Bill has set
practices up already started with members meeting every Thursday at LuLu and will continue on
through June. This year due to circumstances
beyond our control we will not be at Imperial in
Minneapolis St Paul even though we had already
made plans and arrangements to Medinah
Temple to use their stables.
Circumstances prevented us from participating
on May 26th at the Doylestown Memorial Day
Parade even though we had been asked to carry
the Color’s for LuLu, and which we always
do proudly.
May also brought the Circus back to town and
we rode security, helped park cars, collected at
the front gate and letting our guests get up and
personal with the horses. Ill Sir Gary and Finky
collected for us around the parking lot as well.
Thanks guys.
As always we are always looking for that new
member for our award winning Drill Team so if
you have an interest in horses, own a horse, or
have ridden before our meetings are on the
fourth Tuesday of every month at LuLu Temple in
the Mounted Guard Room at 7:00 or come out to
the arena and watch us practice you never know.
We hope to see you soon and again thanks for
your support.
