Ritter It is certainly one of my greatest honors to have been elected and installed as your Potentate for 2015. The past eight years representing you as a member of the Divan as well as the years prior when I helped aide have been so rewarding and memorable that I can’t wait for the future of our Shrine. Installation night was absolutely one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. From the opening procession, to Noble David Harlow doing such an amazing job on our installation. Then being humbled to have so many of you there to enjoy and be a part of our special night just meant so much to me and my family. The reception and light dinner prepared by Chief Aide Robert Shoemaker and his staff was just remarkable and made such a positive impact on our fraternity and the principles for which we stand. A special thanks to all of the people that worked so hard on decorating and preparing the facilities for the evening! Shannon and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for helping to kick off what we hope is a very fun filled and eventful year for our Temple and its Nobility. We very quickly went into our brand new circus which was slightly down this year. I would like to thank the Circus Committee, Divan, Uniform Units, Shrine Clubs, and the Nobility for all their hard work and many hours they put forth to make the circus a success. To our circus daddies we appreciate your support. Also, a special thank you to Ill. Bobby Boitnott for the many long hours he puts into the circus before it even starts. I certainly found out just how much activity goes on in the days leading up to our circus and I know that we have the best group of individuals around in preparing and planning for this huge undertaking that supports our Temple. As of March 16, 2015 over 600 Nobles have not paid for their Circus tickets or re- turned them as an unpaid item. I encourage all Nobles who did not purchase their Circus tickets to please consider a donation to this, the largest fund raising event for Kazim, to offset the short fall of the budgeted amounts of the Circus. This is greatly needed for the operations of our temple. In the weeks that followed I visited with many of our shrine clubs and units. The enthusiasm and smiles that I have witnessed has reenergized our membership. And everyone seems so excited again to be a part of our Shrine. Please keep up the good work and we will continue to have a fabulous year for our shrine. Then on to our Potentate’s Ball a Denim and Diamonds affair wow what an event! We had one of the greatest evenings that Shannon and I could have imagined with all of you, our family and friends. We can’t say THANK YOU enough. The hospitality room at the hotel was spectacular, the decorations in the Temple Ballroom were beautiful, the bartenders were hard at work, Country Kitchen out did themselves, and the DJ - Steve Nelson was fantastic. It was wonderful to see the dance floor full until the last dance. Everyone who was in attendance seemed to have had a wonderful time. Whether they were riding the Love Train or doing the YMCA. It seemed a good time was had by all. We will be leaving in a few days for a Bahamas cruise with a number of our Shrine family. I am looking forward to some fun, sun, and relaxing times with all. Then after a relaxing 7 days it back to work for the nobility, temple and the children. As we carry on with a long stretch of meetings and events that not only promote our frater- nal efforts for our children, but also help support our Temple and its membership. Remember to keep your calendars nearby and check in on our website often to see what is going on within our Temple. And remember what I said in the meetings that I have attended. Please let’s support each other, it is easier to get support, if you give support. With our Spring Ceremonial Fun In The Sun Beach Blast coming up May 1st and 2nd at the temple and open house on Friday night. Let’s bring our new Nobles out and show off our Temple so they will be proud to be one of us! Just remember that you can make a difference. Everyone’s presence will help our fraternity grow and prosper for 2015 and beyond. The Imperial Session is in Houston, Texas this year and is scheduled for the week of July 5th – July 9th. If you have any questions you can contact me or the Temple office. Ending the month of July we will be at the annual Potentate’s Classic July 31st and the All Shrine Parade in Abingdon on August 1st. SASA will be just around the corner it is scheduled for September 17th – 20th in Myrtle Beach, SC. We will be staying at the Crown Reef Resort. You can get the information about this in the Kazimer and on our website. We hope you enjoy the return of the big edition of our Kazimer with all the information. We hope to see you all in the very near future as we strive to bring Kazim Temple back to the forefront of Shrinedom in all its endeavors to help the orthopaedic and burned children. God Bless you all and God Bless the Shrine. Now let’s Make A Child’s Dream In 2015! Yours In Faith, Michael D.

In addition to the dues there are on-going projects to raise funds to support and maintain the strength of the organizations. Many of us belong to such groups. The special organization I am referring to is our Kazim Shrine Temple. The Shrine Temple membership is unique in that our membership comes from our Masonic Lodges. Another unique aspect of our Shrine Temple is the sole purpose of supporting children with special needs of orthopedic or accidental burn injuries. The vast organization of the Shriners Hospitals is the only way they have to receive the needed care. So my brothers, that makes YOU SPECIAL. Transporting a child along with a parent or guardian to a Shriners Hospital is a special opportunity you will never forget. So, I will get back to the reason for this communication. I asked Ill. Sir Michael Ritter if he would allow me to communicate with nobles who had not yet paid their 2015 dues. His permission was granted and in February there were approximately 270 e-mails and or letters sent to the nobles. At this time, your Temple has received and processed 55 payments. To those who have responded, we thank you very much. We look forward to receiving many more payments. If a noble wishes to make equal part payments over three or four months, that option is available. There is no reason a noble should be suspended for nonpayment of dues at the year end. If you wish to take advantage of a part payment schedule, please contact the Recorder’s Office. Working together will generate positive results. Your continued membership and support and that of new nobles is part of the formula for taking care of the “Shriners’ Children.” The need is probably stronger now than ever before. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do for Kazim Shriners. $100 Million Dollar Club Yes, I (we) want to Share in the Care of SHRINERS HOSPITALS for CHILDREN. I have previously made a will leaving a bequest (of $100 or more) to Shriners Hospitals for Children endowment fund. I have added a provision in my will leaving a Bequest (of $100 or more) to the Shriners Hospitals for children endowment fund. I prefer to make a cash donation At this time (of $100 or more).

Day, PP Page 12 The Kazimer T HE C IRC US U P DAT E : The 2015 Kazim Shrine Circus was held at the Roanoke Berglund Center January 29th through February 1st with an all new circus. Kazim Temple contracted with the Jordan’s World Circus of Las Vegas. This years circus was considered a better show, by many, and we have received very good reviews. Admittedly, some of the performances were the same that we had in years past, but were the best of the overall performers from the previous circus group. Jody Jordan brought us a very good show, however, we were down in attendance by some 4000 people and down in our income. The Circus Committee believes we were negatively affected as a result of the substandard reviews of the previous circus group, and a few incidents that made the news during our 2014 circus. In addition, we made the decision to go with 6 shows instead of 7 shows this year by dropping the last show on Super-bowl Sunday. We should be able to build better attendance, for 2016, with the improved performance that the Jordan’s World Circus brings to Kazim’s important fundraising event. There are so many people to thank. It takes so many people to make this work. It is important to thank all of the Units and Clubs, the Divan, the Office Staff, the Circus Committee, the Circus Dads, the Masonic Youth Groups, our sponsors, and everyone who played a roll in making this 4 day event the most important fundraising event for our temple. We have started planning the 2016 circus and hope to improve by bringing in more attendance and income.

Congratulations to all of our Kazim Clown units for taking home the “Overall Clown Trophy” at SASA in 2013 and 2014. Here at Kazim, we are blessed with plenty of talent, and are very fortunate to have had the leadership of Mike Wallace, who served as President of SASCA 2013/2014. It’s time to get ready for another successful year at SASA now. The Clown competition and the SASA parade will be held on Friday September 18th this year. Aaron Tippin will be in concert at Pelican Stadium on Saturday 9/19. The “Overall Clown Trophy” that we have taken home the past two years is awarded to the Temple with the most points earned during clown activities at SASA. Here is a breakdown of how the points are earned: 1) 2) 3) Temples are awarded a point for each member attending the Thursday 7pm business meeting. Temples are awarded a point for each member in competition. And points are awarded for first (3), second (2), and third (1), place in competition. It really makes a difference when we show up for the Thursday night business meeting, and enter competition! Competition is a fun learning experience that shows us how we can work to be the best we can be. The points really add up when more of us compete. I encourage every Clown, Klown, Tramp, and Misfit to enter competition this year, If you have not placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd previously in a SASCA competition, you can enter as a Novice. If you have placed, you will need to enter in the Open Division. There have been times when there are only one or two entries in a category. I would like to see all of our units enter single, two man, or a group skits. Think about Red Skelton, Abbott and Costello or other old time comedy routines for your skits, and start working on them now. You don’t want to wait until a month before competition to begin to put it together. Work on skits about three minutes long. There are also single and multiple balloon categories. Last year, there was only one entry for single balloon, leaving two awards unclaimed. So let’s get ready now to bring home the big “Overall Clown Trophy” for the third year in a row! If I can help you with any competition ideas, or answers, contact me at: [email protected], or 434-444-0335.

The Provost Guard Unit congratulates our 2015 Illustrious Potentate, Michael Dean Ritter, on having a great year thus far. His Installation and Potentate’s Ball were extremely well attended. He plans a repeat performance for the Spring Ceremonial in May. We hope to see you at the upcoming events and also at Fall SASA in Myrtle Beach. Have a great spring and enjoy the upcoming summer. Thank goodness winter is now behind us. The 2015 Chief of the SASA Provost Guard Association is Gary Huffman, from Kazim. The Chief hosts the spring meetings and with the help of the entire Provost Guard Unit, we have a great weekend planned for those who will travel from great distances to attend. Our host hotel is the Holiday Inn Valley View and we have several excursions planned for our guests. The Provost Guard has been fortunate to have seen some growth in our membership in the past several months. We would like to welcome our newest members; Ian Lowdon, Maurice Fisher, Tom Williamson, and Gary Taylor. These gentlemen and their ladies have recently joined our unit and we are happy to have them on board. We have a casual “Fiesta” event scheduled in the Kazim Ballroom on the Friday night, an Abbott bus trip to Chateau Morrisette Winery with a luncheon in their beautiful dining room We are excited about the opportunity to obtain additional members, as result of an expectation of a fairly large spring class of new Nobles, during the upcoming Spring Ceremonial.

There were over 420 people in attendance from the 18 Shrine Temples that make up the patient catch basin for the hospital. Kazim had Miss Virginia World, Arielle Rosmarino, tour the facility with our members who were present. Arielle has chosen to use the Shriners Hospitals as her charitable platform for her year. She has announced that she will be raising money for the Kazim Transportation Fund and the Greenville Hospital during the year 2015. The educational theme for this year was on spinal concerns and surgical corrections. The patient ambassador that was used as a case study, that Dr. Mendelow spoke about, was Hunter Jarman, a Kazim patient from Lynchburg, VA. Hunter and his family had the opportunity to speak to the entire group as well. The Jarman Family stressed their deep appreciation to the Roadrunners. Hunter’s dad expressed his sincere thanks to the men who give their time to take care of his family while he would have to work in order to provide for them, and was unable to leave his job for the many trips that Hunter has taken to Greenville.
