The Voice of LuLu
Recorder’s Remarks
This will be my last article as
recorder of LuLu Temple.
After 10 years as your Recorder and
with the approach of my 75th Birthday, I have decided not to seek reelection in 2015.
As I reflect on the many challenges
I have undertaken since becoming a
Noble in 1971, it has certainly been
quite a ride!
I would also like to express my
gratitude to my 1990 Chief Aide
Carlo Malantonio, Sr. who, I am
sure, thought it was only a one
year deal when he agreed to help
me. Little did he know that all
these years later I would still be
calling on him for help on numerous occasions. He is a great friend
to me and to LuLu and has never
turned me down.

I especially want to thank my lady Peggy as
she has supported me in every one of these
endeavors. She has worked in the trenches and
supported me as well as LuLu for more than 45
years. I would never have succeeded in all these
positions without her.
I would like to thank all of the Nobility for allowing me to serve you in these many and various
capacities over the years.
My son, Noble Drew Reiter, has been involved
with Shrine activities since his birth and continues to serve, not only LuLu but also the Imperial
Council.

Now, as they say it is time to relax and smell the
roses and so I bid you a fond farewell.

From The Pote continued
work at our booths and those who collect money such as the Motor Unit,
Legion of Honor who collect tickets, Provost Guard who keep us safe, Stewards who provide much of the food we sell, Clowns who work the midway and
perform for us, Arab Patrol who see that cars are parked in an orderly fashion. There are many of our clubs that help at our Shrine events such as Delaware County Shrine Club which runs the Funnel Cake Booth, Quaker City/
Montgomery County Shrine Club whose members help in my booth, Lenape
Valley Shrine Club who lend us Ill.Sir Bill Adamson and his Lady Kate in
the French Fries and Chicken Nugget booth along with my Chief Aides Lady
Linda Endrick, Ladies that collect tickets and money when you enter the
grounds, THANK YOU! Last but not least is the Beer Booth, Ill. Sir Charles
Young and Lady Irene, who for many years made sure that the Liquor Laws
were enforced regardless and taught me how to fill a glass of beer so it looked
like it was done by a professional, I am glad that I didn’t have to drink all the
bad glasses I attempted to fill while learning.
Our major fund raisers this year are the Circus, Rodeo and Haunted House
along with Our Magic Show. Thank you The Finks, Doug and Don, without
their help we would not be able to have a Budget. Ill. Sir Gary Davis, P.P. for
his Haunted House which contributes greatly to our Budget. As you see it
takes many people to add their talents to LuLu to make a year happen, thank
you all for your help.
I know I missed some Nobles and Ladies, who worked on projects in the
year 2014, please forgive me if I didn’t mention you in the above article, it’s
a senior moment.
As for the rest of 2014 please mark your calendars for November 28, 2014,

Representatives.
Wednesday December 17th, 2014
at 7:30 PM
Notice is hereby given that a stated meeting of LuLu Temple will be held at the shrine
on Thursday, December 17, 2014 at 7:30PM at
which time the elective officers and representatives to the Imperial Council will be elected
and all temple business as may regularly come
before this meeting will be addressed.
Your attention is called to section 325.11
of the Imperial Council By-Laws
Hello Nobles:
The year is ending; It has been,
for me, a learning experience.
Whether at MASA, Imperial, or
Virginia Beach the interaction
with other Nobles was priceless.
Last year, as OG, my counterparts, at Virginia Beach, went
hospitality hoping. This year, we
went as HP&P.
There were many, many, activities this year, led by Ill Sir Bob
Gold. He put his heart and soul, to the best of his ability,
into each activity.
Personally, the Rodeo was the best. I operated the Taco
Stand. There, with the assistance of three super women,
Walking Tacos, Pickles, Water Ice, and Ice Cream were
offered for sale.
Section 325.11 election regulations
Even with the rain, we sold and sold product. It was
very warming to have run out of product.
( a ) The printing, publication, circulating or
distribution of resolutions, letters, telegrams,
tickets, e-mails or other devices, by a Noble,
suggesting, recommending, opposing or containing names of proposed candidates for
office in their temple is prohibited.
Nobles, if you missed the opportunity to volunteer, I
hope you will consider participating next year, Come out
and see a Finky and Stinky production. Their ability will
amaze you. These two Nobles are, in my opinion; represent the ideal Mason-Noble. It is both an honor and
privilege to be able to call them friend.
( b ) For any violation of ( a ) , the Imperial
Potentate may suspend any offending Nobles,
and he may declare the election of officers void
and order a new election.
Nobles, I am here to serve your needs. However, I cannot read your thoughts. Please, please, if something bothers you, then it bothers me. Call, text, email, or knock on
my door. I, along with the other Divan Members, are as
good as you will permit us to be.
( c ) At least one week prior to the Annual
Meeting or any election the Temple Recorder
shall mail to each member a notice hereof containing this section.

Celebrating a Century of Service
Small minded people seem to use ideas of others and
brag about these grand ideas while other people have
done all the work, where Great Individuals do things
quietly that turn into ideas that last for Century’s. W.
Freeland Kendrick was one of those people. He served
as Potentate of LuLu Temple from 1906 through 1918
as Imperial Potentate 1919-1920 and again LuLu’s
Potentate 1921 through 1923 a position he only gave
up to serve as Mayor of Philadelphia 1924 through
1927 and we all know he
was the driving force in
starting our Shriner’s
Hospitals. But what you do
not know is that in April
of 1914, the nation’s oldest military organization,
the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery Company of Massachusetts was invited to
Philadelphia as a guest of
the City. Potentate Kendrick was determined that
a suitable mounted escort
was needed to meet and
accompany them. After
casting about elsewhere with little success, Ill Sir
Kendrick was determined to organize a Mounted Unit
out of the Shriner membership. Ill Sir Kendrick then
served as President of the Mounted Guard from 1914
through 1918.
Our Mounted has served as the official escort to Lu
Lu’s Potentates ever since then. In 1930, our Mounted
Guard membership reached a peak of 160 consisting
of an A – Troop and a B – Troop. In 1952, we held
the first annual horse pageant at her Philadelphia
Polo Grounds an annual for the next sixteen years.
At the old Shriner’s Hospital for Children on the
Roosevelt Boulevard and we were privileged to
perform to the delight of the Kids every National Hospital
Day. This continued for decades through 1997, until the
hospital was moved to Broad Street. In 1972, we were
honored by request of the Liberty Bell Racing Association to escort the visiting foreign drivers competing in the International Driving Tournament. In 1976
the Mounted Guard was challenged by the Cheyenne
Sheriff’s Posse to a series of Pony Express Races,
which we accepted. Of the seven races, we won 3,
losing the last and deciding race when one of our
riders was thrown from his horse (sounds like what is
happening to us today) while making a right turn and
we were ahead at the time. Once again, in 1988 the
Mounted Guard was called upon to serve as the “Start
Up Committee” for the Cowboys for Kids Rodeo.
Over the years, more than a few of the LuLu’s Potentates have sprung from the ranks of our Mounted
Guard. Illustrious Sirs George Kranich (1968), Oskar
Huber (1980), Emanuel Iglesias (1982), George W
Mano (1994), Charles R
Young (1996), William
J Kelly (1998), Roy L.
Knauth (2000), William J
Morwald (2006) and Gary
Davis (2013).
On the International
Shrine
Horse
Patrol
level, members of Lu
Lu’s
Mounted
Guard
have served in position
of leadership as well.
Noble Joseph Bomenblit served as Secretary/
Treasurer from inception until 1982. The first
President of INSHIP, upon formation in 1955, was also
one of our own, Noble Thomas G Erwin. Other Past
Presidents from LuLu include Paul A Jacobs (1978),
Emanuel Iglesias (1994) Fran Norbeck (2001), Ron
Haines (2010) and now Roy L. Knauth (2015).
Mid Atlantic Horse Patrol has seen Charles
Roberts (2013 -2014) and Gary Davis currently serving as
Secretary/Treasurer.
Clearly Imperial Sir W. Freeland Kendrick flame of
enthusiasm and love for the Hospital and Horses has
not left our Unit over the last one hundred years.
This year although we were unable to participate
at Imperial our membership was in attendance. Fall
MASA brought its own problems but we were till able
to score third place in competition with a second,
fifth and seventh in individual horsemanship. Unfortunately we had insurmountable problems with a
new mayor which we could not leave alone and with
the concerns of safety were unable to participate in
the street Parade. By the way no longer have Tillie in
our stable. Our Drill Master found her a new home
and she seems to be quite content being left alone and
grazing in an open field with no one on her back.

Celebrating a Century of Service continued
The photo which is attached is our Drill team from
2013 for which we won the traveling banner but only
received it this year at Imperial and were just able to
have it embroidered this month. As you can see from
the other trophies 2013 was a great year.
So you see you do not have to tell everyone what you
have done actions speak louder that words and they
keep speaking after one hundred years.
Our next major event is our 50/50 which as you
remember had a top price of $700.00, tickets are
$5.00 or 5 for $20.00. See a Mounted Guard Member for you chance to win. The Drawing will be on
December 17th 2014.
This year again December 6th is our Holiday
Evening at Springhouse Tavern. Each year it seems
a couple of more Nobles and their Ladies are attending. The cost will remain the same as last year
$42.00 per person but reservations must be in by
November 24th. Cocktails are at seven and Dinner is at eight with the menu of Twin Lump Crab
Cakes, Prime Rib of Beef, Chicken Parmagiana.
Reservations are being taken by Roy L. Knauth at
[email protected], or 215-355-3796.
At the writing of this article our President Ron
Schumann is still in a neck brace and it was not from
riding a horse but riding the waves doing a head plant
into the sand, you see horse back riding is a saver
sport. By the last week in September he should know
if he will need to stay that was for four more week or
will they let him out for good behavior. You can call
him at 215-343-9396 and help him not have to keep
looking at reruns of Gilligan’s Island.
Drill Master Ill Sir Bill has discontinued practices
for the year but we will still be riding every month
participating with Four H doing trail rides and our
annual January 1st. So as always we are always
looking for that new member for our award winning
Drill Team. 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. We hope to see you
soon and again thanks for your support.

Forgiveness
People of faith have always ask
themselves “if someone offends me do
I forgive them?” And if so “how many
times?” Various people have different
belief systems that will allow them to
respond when they are in a situation
of offense. We are often faced with a
surprise from hurtful and imperfect
situations that offend us. How do you
respond when such a dilemma occurs
to you? When you wake up, on any
Father Otto Lolk
given morning, you can be certain of

two things. You can be certain that you
Past Master,
are going to be surprised by an event
Frankford Lodge 292
that day. How many of us, as we think
302-645-0819
back to our High School graduations,
can honestly say that my life turned
out exactly the way I imagined it would through the years to
come? Wouldn’t every one of us have to admit that we represent
astonishing surprises? Every morning count on the fact that you
will encounter some kind of imperfection in a variety of forms.
We live in a world filled with less than perfect people. So the
way we choose to respond to these activating events of imperfect
people, imperfect structures or imperfect institutions, is crucial
to how we are going to deal with the darkness that surrounds us
as well as within us.
To start with lets look at the Hebrew scriptures. The Mosaic
code tells us that three times when someone misuses their power
against you, or neglects you, you’re called on to offer that person
forgiveness. After that you are justified to let that person “have
it”, you are then set free to offer that person a comparable kind
of activity.
The noble savage, on the other hand, was willing to let that
person make one mistake and not respond in revenge. The old
Latin saying was: “hurt me once, shame on you, hurt me twice,
shame on me”. In other words: I’ll let you do something, but I will
remember and I will take notice, but if you do that ever again,
expect me to respond in giving you “a dose of your own medicine”.
However, when one gets down to our instinctive emotional
level, the answer is that there is no such thing as forgiveness.
It’s the old code an “eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”. Somebody comes up and does something that causes you pain and you
instantly decide to let that pain giver feel what it is like to do what
he has done to you.
In today’s world we tend to even wait for somebody to hurt us,
we just preemptively initiate and go ahead to get them first. It’s
the perversion of the golden rule: “do unto others before they
can do unto you”. Just accept the fact that they are going to take
advantage of you, so don’t give them a chance, beat them to the
draw. So our cynicism in our belief systems so far tallies: three
times, one time, no time, and get them first.
10
Now let me propose forgiveness as a way of life to effectively
respond to imperfection. Forgiveness is not just something up to a
point and then you resort to revenge, because any time you try to
deal with evil that way, you create a bigger problem for everyone.
The only creative way for faith people is to respond not in giving
back in revenge, but turning evil into good so that evil might be
transformed to something good. You see, whenever you and I
think of forgiveness as a transaction, as some kind of thing that
we do up to a point, and after that we are justified to do something
back, we have really a cognitive distortion in our belief system,
that is simply going to cause us, in our consequent behavior, to
add evil for evil and make matters even worse. We would find
ourselves building a whole life not on the rock of reality, but on
the sand of illusion. Think about it, when one answers fire with
fire what do you wind up with? You wind up with more fire and
we are seduced into initiating what we abhor; it has become part
of the problem and not part of the answer.
So the first thing that not choosing to initiate evil with more evil
does, at least it doesn’t add to it; one doesn’t buy into the seduction of imitating evil but giving a vision of another way of luring
ones power.
How do we get the energy to respond to the evil doer who has
abused their power in this way? I get this energy by remembering how God has chosen to handle his sins. We get the strength
to forgive other people, for what they did to us, when we remember how God handled my imperfections. That you and I are here
today, is a testimony to the fact that somebody forgave us. If you
had gotten justice for everything that you ever did, if you had been
handled with a kind of retributive revenge, so that every time you
misused your power, and you were absolutely zapped with a kind
of punishment, then not one of us would be here today. “Goodness
and mercy” have, indeed, followed us every day of our lives. Our
parents were forgiving and merciful or we would not have survived. Our friends our teachers and compatriots, if you think of
all the junk foods you have eaten in your life and you still have a
modicum of health, and if you think of all the time you have had
your mind somewhere else and have run a red light or turned
left when you weren’t supposed to and you didn’t get hit or get
arrested; every one of us are here today because someone was
willing to forgive. What I am suggesting is that mercy is the only
hope for any of us. We can only survive without imperfections
because it is God’s nature “always to show mercy”. If we can ever
remember how incredibly good of God it was to handle our imperfections with mercy not just some of the time, all of the time, then
we can walk through life in great astonishment of his amazing
grace and do for others the very same thing He has done for you
personally. You are forgiven. Go and forgive, go in peace. Shalom.
The Rev. Fr. Otto Lolk
Chaplain LuLu Temple
To Nobles of LuLu Shrine
After much consideration I have
decided not to run for LuLu Treasurer
in December 2014. Having served
more than half of my seventh term as
Treasurer, the responsibilities have
become a draining job rather than the
exciting challenges I assumed, when I
first started in 2008.
one of 195 Shrine Centers, ultimately
governed by the requirements and
direction of Shriners’ International.
That person must also have the time
to spend at this “volunteer job”, to
accomplish those responsibilities as
the CFO of Lu Lu; it’s not something he
can delegate or shrug off.
I
retired
from
my
government vocation after 38 ½ years of
service, at age 55 (8 years ago), so I
would have time for myself and Lady
Bea, but with the hours I’m spending at LuLu, it feels like I’m working
more now than when I was a salaried
Government employee, working a 40
hour week.
Come January 2015 when my term
is done and the new Treasurer is
installed, I hope my efforts these 7
years have supported LuLu Temples
continuing solvent operations and I
wish the upcoming Officers and LuLu
well in the future.
Chris Mason
Treasurer
Vacation (?), other than going to an Imperial or
MASA (always a working trip for a Divan member),
neither Bea nor I have had vacation since I
started at LuLu and that’s not fair to Bea. My
fault, yes, but true none the same.
The respect and working relationships that
have developed within the Recorders Office
these seven years, between Harry, June,
Chrissy and myself are rare and I will always
remember and cherish that.
As you search for someone to fill this
position, remember, that person by Shrine
International By-Laws, is the Chief Financial
Officer of this Temple and although he advises
the Potentate and other Divan members, his
ultimate responsibility is to handle the
finances of this Temple, in the best interest of
this Temple and its members, not necessarily
the direction or interest of the elected officer(s)
or event chairmen. I hope and believe that
Ill Sir Harry and I have always formed our
opinions and given our advice, based on this
principal.
I wish the Divan well in their search to
find someone and I admonish the Divan
not to take someone just because they
volunteer, but look long and hard at that volunteers’ financial background or his ability to
learn the many and various tasks of this Office
and his vision should always look after LuLu
as the sum of its membership not the direction of one. He must remember that LuLu is

Vidalia Onions.
Note that the UBA must work closely with the Unit Directors. Its Presiding Officer, the Colonel of Units, is appointed by
the Potentate. The Colonel then selects his Appointments (Lt.,
Col., Major, etc.). This Unit is responsible for directing the
Pageantry of LuLu Shriners at all Parades and Ceremonials.
Over the years, the UBA has used several Projects to raise
necessary funds: Donations from Local Parade Committees
when LuLu participates; Sale of Citrus Fruit; Sale of Vidalia
Onions; various other Fund Raisers, and finally by assessing
Annual Dues.
The UBA Executive Board (President, three Vice Presidents, Secretary and Treasurer) has the authority to assess
each Unit (and Club since 1984) “an amount each year per
Active Member for administration expenses with approval of
the Potentate and announced at the November Stated Meet-
16
Because of Imperial Council Directives, the UBA was organized as a separate Association, and treated as a Unit, to
raise Funds and disburse Funds to assist Uniformed Shrine
Members or Units with extra expenses needed to parade or
perform outside of Lu Lu’s Oasis, primarily at MASA and
Imperial Conventions. In 1984, as noted, this privilege was
extended to Lu Lu Clubs.
The Temple Potentate has final approval of all UBA
events and expenditures, but the issue of control of the
Funds is unclear and conflicting in the UBA By-Laws. Since
the UBA is a Chartered Organization, with By-Laws and
Elected Officers, it should be treated as a Unit, controlling
all income and expenses, submitting an Annual Financial
Statement by Mid-February, for the previous Shrine Year,
as required of all Units and Clubs.
Current organization of UBA consists of the Executive Board and at least one Representative from each
Unit or Club. Others may attend but only one vote
from each Unit or Club is permitted. Meetings are
held at least five times per year, normally on the 4th
Friday evening, but always by Notice in the FEZ, or written
notice, 10 days in advance to the Officers and Club/Unit Representatives, by the Secretary.
The Annual Assessment to the Units (and Clubs) has
changed as necessary to support the mission. With Approval
of the Potentate, the Annual Dues for 2014 were set as “Basic
Fee of $35.00 plus $.75 per member with a minimum of
$50.00 and a maximum of $150.00”. It is anticipated that this
structure will apply to 2015 dues
that are due by March 1st.
With income declining, it
becomes more important that
the UBA Officers recommend
disbursement of funds that will
present maximum credit to LuLu
Shriners in parades (or events)
beyond its Oasis, especially Imperial and MASA parades. UBA
makes the recommendations to
the Potentate, who makes the
final decision.
In recent years, LuLu Potentates
have provided additional funds in
order that at least a few Units and Clubs have been able to
participate at MASA and Imperial Conventions. And, this has
proved successful in winning 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place Awards on
various occasions.
The original Officers of the UBA in 1971 were Nobles
Harry Groom, President; Elmer Schmidt, 1st V.P.;
William Krebs, Treasurer; and Samuel T. Brown, Sr., Secretary. In succeeding years, the dedicated Nobles who served
an Elected Position for three or more years, are recognized:
Sam Brown, 11 years - Secretary
Alfred Bumberger, 14 years - Treasurer
Dallett Bowers, 13 years - Treasurer
Jack Hughes, 5 years - Secretary
Hank Hoster, 4 years - Secretary

President, 3 years - 1st V.P.
Nobles – UBA is in need of your
help. It needs Elected Officers
and Chairmen for Fund Raising Events. Please Contact Ill. Sir
Charles Young or Noble Harry
Snyder to offer your assistance.
In the words of UBA President
Harry Snyder “we want to encourage all to join and help
each Unit/Club to increase interest in their area, to show the
diversity of Units/Clubs at LuLu”. By participating in parades,
we not only inform other LuLu Shriners of our activities, but
can show off our activities through floats and performances
in parades.
