POTENTATE’S MESSAGE
Nobles,
It is hard to believe that almost half of this year has passed, I have tried to visit as many clubs and
units as possible, but I cannot be everywhere at the same time. Many of you have asked about Linda.
We thank you for your thought and prayers and God willing I will be bring her home sometime in
July, but our travels may be limited. She gets tired easily and has problems walking and must be assisted. We will try whenever possible to visit your activities.
Our spring ceremonial turned out to be a fun filled day. With the assistance of Des Moines Za Ga Zig
Oriental Band, the Mandarin Degree was put on at the temple and all the attendees had a great time.
Kaaba should be doing degree work several times a year, but again it takes involvement from the
nobility to make things happen.
The Kaaba Shrine Circus has come and gone and if you have not heard we did not do as well as we
could have. You are asking why? Only about one third of the nobility supported the circus and even
less came to one of the finest circus that we as Kaaba have had in the past five years. Were the dates
wrong? Was the weather to hot or too cold? Or you just had other thing to do? Well, whatever your
response would have been it has passed and we cannot go back and change the outcome. Maybe
next year there will not be a circus, so the board needs ideas for fund raisers that YOU are willing to
support.
Part of the Divan is scheduled for Imperial in early July 2016. I don’t see anything on the call or voting
docket that would be earth shaking or change the way Shriners do business, but there is always
something unexpected about any convention that will come up. Thank you for putting your trust in
the board member to do the right thing for Kaaba.
The Iowa Shrine football game in Waterloo, Iowa is on July 23, 2016. Parade time 9 A.M. and game in
the afternoon. Hope the nobility and families will come to all the activities that weekend. You
should have received your tickets for the game, if you do not wish to use them yourself, sell them to
someone. If you have never seen the game think about taking a trip to Waterloo that weekend.
Coming up in August is CSSA in Little Rock, Arkansas. I have talked the Scimitar Potentate about the
security and areas we will be in and they have reassured me that all possible security measures will
be in place so there should be no major problems. Kaaba has reserved rooms at the Wyndham Hotel
Riverfront in Little Rock, Arkansas. Make your reservation and come enjoy.
Our sportsman giveaway is just starting, the items or raffle items have been selected, and tickets are
being printed. Now is the time to step up and support your shrine.
Tom Hodges,
Potentate

CHIEF RABBAN’S COMMENTS
Nobles and all,
The summer heat has arrived and that means time for Shrine summer activities. The Shrine circus events are
finished and at this moment, not all the figures are in. If each Noble would have bought or sold the tickets
they received in the mail and sold an advertisement for the circus coloring book, the Temple would have
made more money. Too many Nobles sit back and let a few do the work. So, let's all get busy and support
the Temple.
Just a reminder, there are no stated meetings during June, July and August. Hope to see you all in September!
Most of the Divan will be in Tampa, Florida for the Imperial Session July 2 thru July 7 attending meetings and
more meetings. Hope there will some time for fun.
July 23 is the Iowa Shrine Bowl Parade and game at Cedar Falls, game in temperature controlled UNIDome. The banquet is the evening before. The interaction between the cheerleaders and football players
and the hospital patients is always very special to see. Gets the word out why we are Shriners.
This year the Hillbilly Day and Degree is August 6 at JEB Park in Batavia. If you've never been there, you are
missing good food (possum tails), and great fun. Please try to attend.
August 24th thru August 27th is 2016 CSSA in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The Sportsmen Raffle will be held October 22. Tickets will be arriving in your mailbox for you to buy/sell. This
is Kaaba's largest fundraiser for the year, so let's support this event.
Summer means parades and they have all ready started. Bring your units and join in the fun.
Hope to see as many of you as possible there.
Proudly wear your Fez, have fun . . . it's for the kids!
Yours in the Faith,
Walt Hill

Dear Nobles and Ladies
Summer is here and the parade season is upon us. Remember to be safe and make sure that you, your club
or unit is covered with insurance and your nobles dues are up to date. Our first parade this year was the
Fulton Dutch Days parade in Fulton, IL. According to the Dutch Days Face book that Kaaba Shriners took
2nd place. Good job. Kaaba Shriners also participated in a couple Memorial Days parades to remember our
families, brothers, friends and neighbors who have served and sacrificed their lives to make our world a
better place to live.
In July the Divan will be attending the Imperial Session in Tampa, Florida and as usually it will be hot and
humid. In August Kaaba Shriners’ will also attend at CSSA in Little Rock, Arkansas. I remember when I became a Shriner, no one really explain to me what Imperial Session or what CSSA was all about except CSSA
stands for Central States. The first year my Lady Kathy and I went to CSSA, we did some sightseeing and
mostly hang around Kaaba hospitality room for several days. The second time we went to CSSA I have
found that the Central States Shrine Association was meant for our members to meet other temple club
and unit members. Being a member of the Directors Staff, I attended the CSSA Directors Staff meeting on a
Friday morning and being a member of the Legion of Honor I also attended the all day Thursday CSSA
Legion of Honor event and banquet that evening with a social the day before starting in the afternoon. This
goes for other clubs and units which includes Hillbillies, motorcycles, little cars, clowns and ect. Find your
group, meet them, and make friends, compete among your groups, build companionship and exchange information. I believe that having our Kaaba nobles getting more involved with other temple nobles, it will
create growth within our temple. I told my Lady Kathy that being involved as I am in the Shrine that I will
continue being active in Kaaba Shrine and attending CSSA because I have made many new friends.
About Imperial Session, the Kaaba Divan elected officers are representatives to Iowa Cooperation and have
voting rights on new or revised decision making or to repeal a decision. Whatever the decision the majority
voted on will be our International Shrine Law abide by our USA laws. Some other countries their laws are
differ from ours. For example: the display of national flags.
On Saturday, July 23, 2016 there will be the Shrine Bowl football game at the UNI-Dome, Cedar Falls, Iowa
starting at 4:00 pm and the gate doors will be open at 2:00 pm. Before the game, you will see interactions
of the football players and cheerleaders with our shriners kids. I enjoy watching them having fun. The division for North & South teams is Interstate I-80. Any schools North of I-80 is North and of course any schools
South of I-80 is South.
Before the Shrine Bowl football game there will be a Shriners parade at 9:30 am with the four Shrine temples.
The Parade will start at East 7th and 8th Streets to the north and south and Washington and Clay Streets to
the east and west and conclude at the Autograph Session at the intersection of E. 4th and Main Street.
Za-Ga-Zig Shrine will be the host temple this year and will be providing the luncheon at the park after the
parade.
Let’s continue what we do best is having fun and please come to the Shrine Bowl football game and see
what we also do - is to support our Kids. (This event please wear your FEZ).
Yours in the Faith

Nobles,
Quality First is a heroic journey based on a philosophy of Quality and a framework of earning public
support. Heroic Service does not come from policy manuals. It comes from people who care like
KAABA Shriners.
Albert Schweitzer once proclaimed, Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it's the only
thing. Fellow Nobles, it’s time to set the Quality First example for all Nobles to follow. All for One
and One for all, together we can become a strong positive image for our fraternity and our hospitals.
A positive image is not just wearing the Fez but being active in your clubs and in KAABA Temple activities. Remember fun, fellowship and the kids. We owe it to the Shriners Hospitals we are committed to serve now and in the future.
Don Juan remarked, "The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior
takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or as a
curse."
Become a warrior for KAABA, take on Quality First as a Challenge, promote KAABA by participating in
activities, by helping recruit and maintain membership, and by supporting our hospitals and our kids.
Quality First can be our quality improvement plan. It can be our way to achieve excellence and earn
public support.
Martin Luther King asserted, "Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to
have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only
need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love." I believe all Nobles qualified as great when they
first joined and I believe most Nobles have a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love. However, I
also believe many Nobles have lost their way on this heroic journey to fun, fellowship and our kids.
So, I thank all Nobles that continue to volunteer and support our great fraternity and I challenge all
those that have lost their way to take the Quality First challenge and join us again. Remember as a Noble it is all for one and one for all that is our strong positive image.
Proud to be a Shriner
Michael Moore, Oriental Guide
Nobles,
Being a Noble for the last 32 years has allowed me to work, play, and meet some of the
greatest people in the world. Since 2006 I have worked tirelessly for the good of Kaaba
Temple. It is now time to step aside and allow other Nobles in the Fraternity to step
forward and do the same. That being said I will not be running for re-election for Treasurer in December. I hope someone will realize the importance of this job and step forward. I will still be around however, doing whatever I can for the Fraternity. Thank you
for all of your support and assistance throughout the years.

Greeting Nobles,
God’s blessing to each of you and your families a sincere prayer that this note soon reaches you and finds you
well. The past months have found us all very busy with Shrine meetings, lodge meetings, the Circus, the Air
Show and the upcoming North/South football game. With all these activities and more, it’s a wonder we have
time to eat, sleep and pray for one another. Now the prayer is the most important thing we can do! Expectantly ask the LORD’S guidance in ALL we do. Pray for all those who need GOD’S help, (that is for all of
us), guiding us through this fast paced life. We know that if we ask for it of God, He will answer our prayers
and direct our actions. Our officers put their trust in
God and seek his guidance in every undertaking. We know this but there are times (Shame on us), when we
overlook or forget such an important detail.
Nobles, all Masonic members, and ladies vow or pledge to “PUT THEIR TRUST IN GOD”. When did we
last forget to do that? It is very important to remember this before we endeavor to start any undertaking. Did
we ask and receive God’s answer before we started? We have the entire Bible before us. The Bible is more
than just an ornament sitting on the Alter. It is THE book of instruction for each of us. It holds all the answers
and instructions for each of us to employ for each and every problem and occasion.. The Bible is there for us
and should be considered for every decision we make. We put our trust in GOD”.
Reminder! Three issues back, “THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD”
The Ten Commandments were written by God upon two tablets of stone and then given to Moses on Mount
Sinai. Most scholars date this event around the 13th or 14th century BC. God gave the Decalogue or 10commandments to the Israelites shortly after they left Egypt. The record of the ten commandments can be found in
the Bible, both in Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21.
Ten Commandments List
1.You shall have no other gods before me.
2.You shall make no idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
4. Keep the Sabbath day holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet.
For the LORD giveth wisdom:
out of his mouth cometh
Knowledge and understanding.
“

Greetings Nobles,
I hope this article finds you deep in the Parade Season. Parading is one of the ways that Shriners can
make their presence known. Hopefully when we parade we can get interest from people outside the fraternity and we can educate them on freemasonry and the Shrine. One and thing we all have to remember,
when we are out in the public we are closely observed and scrutinized. Recently I was at a parade and a
Noble complained to me about another Noble's vocabulary around his wife and other Ladies.
When I was but a young lad a long time ago I listened to my dad's vocabulary while working on the
farm. It was never around my mother but being young and wanting to emulate my dad, my brother would
practice these new words. Well you know it, Mom heard it, and then Dad heard it from Mom. The next
night in the barn while doing chores Dad informed us that this kind of language was Barn Talk and to be
used in the barn and not around Mom or any other ladies. It worked, even when in the Navy I never talked
like that around my Mom or any other Ladies.
Nobles lets remember that when around mixed company. Let us all remember that when wearing a fez
or even when we remove our fez, we are still Masons and Shriners, our conduct is magnified because of
this. I want everyone to have fun but also to be an Ambassador to the Fraternity.

Chris Moore competes on
American Ninja Warrior
Pledges to donate winnings to Shriners Hospitals for Children
Chris Moore is used to helping kids. This father of four creates and fits prosthetic limbs for kids in a thriving practice in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Now, Chris is expanding his influence by using his strength, agility
and stamina to benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children.
For the second year in a row, Chris is competing on NBC’s American Ninja Warrior, where hundreds of
athletes tackle challenging obstacle courses hoping to win the $1 million grand prize. Chris, who works out
every day beginning at 4 a.m. to prepare for the course, has pledged to donate all of his winnings to Shriners
Hospitals for Children.
“Shriners Hospitals for Children is one of those beacons of light for children. They are not profit motivated,
and that is unique. I have seen Shriners Hospitals come to the rescue of many kids who otherwise would not
have gotten the care they needed to walk or just be a kid,” said Moore.
Chris, a former Navy medic, cannot tell us what is in store for him during this year’s show, but his qualifying round was filmed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and will air June 20. Last year, during season seven of
the show, Chris made it all the way to the finals in Las Vegas, Nevada. Chris says whatever happens this
year, he wants more people to know about the good work that Shriners Hospitals does.
To ensure that Shriners Hospitals – and ultimately kids – benefit, Chris has set up a fundraising page at
americanninja4kids.com/ANW8.
Please help us support this Ninja hero who is working hard to overcome obstacles, just like our Shriners
Hospitals for Children patients. Thank you Chris for putting our No Limits attitude to the test!

Remembering Why I Became A Shriner
By Randy Rudge, Membership Development Director, Shriners International
If you were asked, “What does your Shriner membership mean to you?” How would you respond?
A few years ago, I was asked to do a Shriner membership presentation. I worked for months preparing what I would
say and do. But, the night before the presentation I realized that it was nothing like I wanted it to be. So I decided I
wasn’t going to do a presentation at all. I was going to listen.
At the beginning of each workshop I had each member think about and write down why he became a Shriner. Then,
I asked each to write his two proudest moments as a Shriner. I realize that for many it was hard to pick just two, but I
wanted the first two memories that came to mind.
What the attendees didn’t know was that each of them was going to share what he had written. That became the
most inspirational workshop I have ever participated in.
What we heard were the true tenants of Freemasonry and the principles of our Shriners Creed. While there were
inspiring stories regarding the children we serve in our hospitals, many of the stories dealt with the brotherly love and
fellowship that are only achieved by being a member.
When I think back about my membership, I think about the incredible friends I have made and how they have become my extended family. How they have lent a hand and listened when I was in need, shared a laugh, dedicated
their time and made me their friend.
But most of all, I think of my membership as an incredible bond between me and my father.
I remember the pride he expressed when I became a Shriner, all the responsibilities I took on, and the endless discussions with our mutual friends. And the fun we had together.
My dad passed away four years ago on March 6, after a long illness. During his illness, he had not been out of the
house for many months, but he decided to attend a Shriners’ function. At the event, we sat him in a chair and noble
after noble came up to him to shake his hand and say hello.
Dropping him off at his home later that evening, I gave him a hug and said goodnight. I will always remember him
looking back at me with tears in his eyes and thanking me. That was the last time he went out in public.
After listening to many stories similar to mine during the workshop, I asked the attendees what they learned from the
exercise. What they said was that they experienced a lot of emotion, pride, love and fellowship in that room.
My message is simple: As Shriners and leaders, it is our responsibility to guide others so that they achieve the same
emotion, pride and fellowship we experience as Shriners. When we do, our organization will prosper.
Now, I ask each of you to write down why you became a Shriner and your two proudest moments as a Shriner. If
you would like to share your story, please e-mail me through Feztivities.
Thank you all for being Shriners.

When Allah calls, then our friends obey and fold their 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 and last of the volumes three ,is locked from sight - God keepeth the

Purnendu Gupta, M.D., Named Chief of Staff at SHC – Chicago
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Purnendu Gupta, M.D., to Chief of Staff at SHC - Chicago, as
of July 2016. A longtime Chicagoan, Dr. Gupta attended Northwestern University Medical School as a member
of the Honors Program for Medical Education and received his Doctor of Medicine degree in1990. He then
completed his residency in orthopaedic surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Children’s Memorial
Hospital (now Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago). Dr. Gupta completed a fellowship in
complex scoliosis and spinal disorders at Washington University Medical School in St. Louis Barnes Jewish
Hospital, St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and SHC – St. Louis. Caring for patients with pediatric and adult scoliosis, kyphosis, spondylolisthesis, and complex spinal reconstruction is Dr. Gupta’s specialty. He has over 20
years’ experience in academic medicine, at Ohio State University and University of Chicago, where he served as
the Director of the Spine Center at Weiss Memorial Hospital. Currently, Dr. Gupta is Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Dr. Gupta has conducted extensive spine research and
has presented and published his work internationally. The Spine Journal, Clinical Biomechanics, and the American Journal of Sports Medicine, along with many other publications, have invited him on their editorial boards.
Dr. Gupta’s many honors include the prestigious Spine Volvo Award in Biomechanics from the International
Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine for ergonomic research. For many years, he has volunteered as a
spine surgeon for the Foundation of Orthopedics and Complex Spine in Ghana and the Scoliosis Research Society Global Outreach Program in Bulgaria. Our new Chief of Staff has been practicing at SHC – Chicago since
2007. “My work at Shriners Hospital has become the most satisfying aspect of my career,” he says. “As Chief of
Staff, I would love to see the Chicago Shriners Hospital grow and become a preeminent pediatric hospital in
Chicago for orthopaedic surgery, plastic surgery, and spinal rehabilitation.” Dr. Gupta will lead an expert staff
of pediatric spine, orthopaedic, and craniofacial surgeons and rehabilitation experts, offering advanced, multidisciplinary care to children in the greater Chicago area, throughout the Midwest, and across the country. He
succeeds Drs. Kim Hammerberg and Lawrence Vogel, who have been serving as Interim Chiefs of Staff since
January 2016. All of us at Chicago Shriners Hospital welcome Dr. Purnendu Gupta as our new Chief of Staff,
for we know his great gifts and wide-ranging experience will contribute significantly to advance our mission of
caring for kids in a family-centered environment, regardless of the family’s ability to pay.
Kaaba Shrine Child ID Program
Kaaba Shrine Child ID Program was held on Sunday June 5th, 2016 from 2-5 at Columbus City Lodge in Columbus City Iowa. This program allows valuable information to be collected and used by law enforcement in the
case of an emergency ie lost or missing children. This program was started by Noble Chris Stechman and Brian
Kelley. Not only can this program be used by parents of small children but also Senior Citizens families in case
they become lost or disorientated. This is not only a valuable tool but a way for Kaaba Shriners to get their
name out in the public. We would hope that this information never has to be used but in the event that it does
the peace of mind to the family is invaluable. I would like to thank the following people for their assistance,
Chris and his team, Walt Hill, Mary Coffin, Betty Hamilton, and the local EMT's from Columbus Jct. I would also
like to thank the local sponsors for their contributions. Remember "it’s for the kids"
