Doing so much Good”. Yours in Faith, Jesse Thomas, Potentate Jesse Thomas Potentate Greetings Nobles, welcome to October, the month we usher in fall, cooler temperatures and colorful leaves, a reminder winter is coming in a couple of months. September has been another busy month for us with our annual Noble Appreciation Night being kicked off with a Cornerstone Ceremony attended by our Imperial Potentate and the Imperial First Lady, Imperial Sir Jerry Gantt and Lady Lisa. The Northeast Field Days, hosted by Kora Shriners, was the next weekend, a report on both of these events will be in next month’s Anahgram. Our Shrine Clubs are back in action after their summer break as well as Blue Lodges. I want to thank my home lodge, Lygonia Lodge #40 of Ellsworth for their generous donation of ten thousand dollars to Anah’s Building for the Future Fund to purchase a granite bench, many thanks for all you do to support Anah Shrine. At the time of this writing we were hoping to be doing business at our 1404 Broadway location, but we’re still working on phone and computer connections to the building, hopefully by the time of this reading this will be history and we’ll be at 1404 Broadway. We’ve moved a lot of the furniture and equipment to 1404 Broadway and the building is taking shape, many thanks to Larry & Lib and their crew for all they’re doing, if you haven’t been in to check us out you owe it to yourself to stop by, you’ll be impressed. There is a high level of energy amongst Anah Nobles and ladies about the move to our new Building, don’t’ let that drop, keep up the excitement and be proud of “FROM THE RECORDER’S DESK” Larry L. Hersom Recorder, P.P. Welcome to Fall! Where did our summer go? It seems like just yesterday we were getting ready for the summer Ceremonial in Ellsworth. I would like to start by thanking Noble Skip House for all his assistance in getting the electronic sign up and running at our new building. Skip has spent a couple of days working at our new facility, as well as loading the software, to run the sign onto a laptop, which he has donated to the Anah. Thank you Skip for all your support. Next I wish to thank my wife, Libby, for all the time she has spent decorating and arranging the furniture at our new building to get ready for the Noble Appreciation Night. Imperial Sir Jerry Gant and Lady Lisa were with us on that evening to assist our Potentate Jesse in dedicating and placing the Cornerstone at our new building. Libby made sure the building was inviting, and created a warm invitation when stepping into the lobby on that auspicious evening. I also want to thank Phyllis and her husband Arthur (Coota) Watson, and Janice and Don (Bo Bo) Young for their work preparing their respective offices for the move. What a great job they all have done. It will be appreciated by all the Nobles and ladies in the future when visiting their workspaces. If you haven’t already, you will soon be receiving your 2016 dues notice. Please understand the increase in the dues is an increase in the Imperial per capita tax and NOT Anah’s dues. As I stated last month, you can eliminate that part of your dues by paying it for a lifetime in the amount of $450. If you pay prior to December 31, it will be $450. However, if you wait until after Jan. 1, 2016, it will then double to $900. So now is the time to get it paid…. by check or credit card. If you have any questions, please give the Recorder’s office a call. Hopefully by the time you receive this Anahgram, the Recorder’s office will be moved into the new building. We are hoping to have phones and internet in the new facility sometime mid to late September. We will post to our website and on our Facebook page when we finally make the move. So until then, please call us or come into our 586 Main Street office to get any tickets for any of the upcoming events. October will be a busy month, as the Divan will be visiting Northern Penobscot Shrine Club Oct. 7 and Tri-County Shrine Club Oct. 21 for their official visitations. Also don’t forget to purchase your tickets for the Potentate’s Reception to be held at our new temple October 24. Chief Rabban Bob Turner and Lady Bonnie have great plans to make this an unforgettable evening. Look forward to seeing you at the next Shrine event. Hope everyone will enjoy the upcoming fall season.

Little did I know that my first visit would pave the way for years of specialized care and lead me to become a Shriner. RElYING ON THE EXPERTS FOR CaRE At age 5, my doctor in Northern Maine advised my parents that I would need extensive surgeries to correct my orthopaedic issues. Since my parents were unable to afford the necessary procedures, my doctor recommended that my parents contact Shriners Hospitals for Children for assistance. I became a Shriners Hospitals patient, where I was treated for Legg-CalvéPerthes syndrome, which caused a deformity in both of my hip sockets and prevented me from walking. For the next 17 years, I underwent a variety of treatments, including 12 surgeries and two body casts. Some of the more unique treatments I experienced were 3-D gait analysis, a functional body brace that I used for two years and numerous advanced shoe orthotics. ClOWNING aROUND FOR THE KIDS I am now 38 years old. I live in Bangor, Maine, with my wife, Dena, and our 5-year-old daughter, Claire, and own a financial services business. I joined Shriners International as soon as I turned 21. I knew 17 years ago that I wanted to help this amazing organization that changed my life. My favorite memories from when I was a patient are the Shrine clowns, so I felt there was no better way to give back than to become a clown myself. I have been portraying “Scooter” for the past 16 years, helping to make patients and families smile. Last year, I worked on organizing a trip for our local Anah Shriners Clown unit to visit the Shriners Hospitals for Children in Scott Boucher, also known as “Scooter,” and his daughter Claire Boston and Springfield. Many of my fellow clowns had never set foot into a Shriners Hospital, yet they had dedicated hundreds of hours in support of the amazing work of the hospitals. I wanted my fellow clowns to witness how the hospitals are changing the lives of children, and inspire them to continue on with their great work. My hope for the future is to continue volunteering as a Shrine clown and to continue educating our local community on the miracles that Shriners Hospitals for Children perform each day. I am forever grateful to the Shriners for all that they did for my family and for me. Without the Shriners and Shriners Hospitals, I would not be walking today.

The meeting was called to order by Captain Chandler. Old and new business was discussed. The unit took in three new members at June ceremonial: Scott Edgerly, Jr., Jacob Day, and Sean Dow. Looks like a lot of old fellers have some big training sessions coming to get these new guys in ship-shape condition. Other members Scott Edgerly, Scott Johnson, Doug Monson, Bill Sinford, and Yours Truly, Bill Geel. Potentate Jesse Thomas was there I think to share some wisdom; I’m not quite sure. The unit will be heading to the port of Lewiston on September 19th. All members should be on deck at about 1:00 that Saturday. Remember, if you guys bounce off any rocks underwater, the cutter “Wilbert Terry” will be in the area. I hope to get my stern man, Forrest DeMeyer out for the occasion. The meeting adjourned at 7:30. Lady Susan, I’ve been practicing up on the lyrics of “O” Canada”. Seems like every border native ought to know the lyrics. More to come on the lobster picnic and port of Lewiston next month. Those celebrating birthdays are Yours Truly, Bill Geel. Remember, Runtz, I’m looking for a good day of sunshine. I’m not getting older, Runtz, I’m getting brighter. Also, Lyle Dever, Joan Terry, and Naomi Edgerly. Belated birthday wishes to Sean Dow. Waylon and Melissa Merchant are celebrating their anniversary. I suppose you’ll be out pulling traps that day. Also Keith and Nancy Robbins. I suppose you’ll be watching TV. Jacob and Amanda Day. I hope you don’t have anything to do with the two guys above. Belated anniversary wishes to Sean and Candice Dow. Oops! Gotta Go! Phone’s ringing; it must be Runtz telling me it’s safe to come to Jonesport. ANAH’s S.M.A.R.T Team Hello everyone from all of us on ANAH’s S.M.A R.T.

Baruch October 2015 Continued from page 6 all with everything from farmer Ron’s hayride to many, many fun games for the kids. Thank you very much for the Costains and the Greens!!! The next event we had planned was a tailgate party in Sept., but we have decide to put this off until the day of the Super Bowl next Feb. We will send out more details later in the year. Our next event will be a “Trunk or Treat” party at the new building on Oct. 30th. This is going to be a fun party where the kids get to trick or treat at several booths all in one building. Please look forward to the info on that on the website and in the Oct. Anahgram. We are also selling bundles of dry, split camp wood for $5.00 per bundle at a few locations. The money we raise will be used to support the events we are planning and also candidates next year. You can buy this at my house 350 Hampden Rd. in Carmel, at Sawyers Dairy in Newport, Ryan Otis’ convenience store in Belfast and at Spaulding Radiator on outer Hammond in Bangor. Don’t forget the mission of the S.M.A.R.T Team is to get families more involved in Anah. Noble Ron Bilancia, Reporter Hello Fellow Academicians and Ladies ! It’s a short column this time around folks. Hope you’re all doing well. The next business meeting is Wed. Oct. 28th at 6:30 at Dysart’s on outer Broadway in Bangor across from Gifford’s Ice Cream near the new Shrine Center. Come one come all. Let’s have a good turnout. On my end of things it was a great summer with several two and threenighter trips to places like Bar Harbor, Addison, Nova Scotia, New Hampshire, and Connecticut visiting friends and relatives and having a great time in general. Now I’m full throttle in the new school year. Lauren is a busy 5th grader. And Sally is selling houses to beat the band. I hear tell that Donnie Copeland continues to enjoy many Masonic activities at home and in his “second home” across the border in Woodstock, New Brunswick. Great work Donnie. As of this writing we haven’t have the annual picnic, so more on that next time. Have a great October everyone. And remember, never hesitate to contact me at 989-2617 or at [email protected] 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. 9 2016 DUES INCREASE Dues for 2016 will be sent out from Shriners International headquarters in Tampa sometime the first of October rather than Anah’s Bangor office. The per capita tax from International was voted by the representatives this past July to increase from $15 to $30 per year. These additional monies are needed to run the International operations in Tampa and the Imperial Sessions. Anah’s dues are NOT increasing only International’s portion. Anah’s dues, which are $35 are the second lowest of all the Shrine International temples. The total dues for 2016 will be $70, made up of Anah’s dues of $35, $30 for per capita and the $5 hospital assessment. If you have any questions please call the Recorder’s office.

Portland • 871-7000 Maine Brewed • Maine Made • Maine Owned www.seadogbrewing.com The first meeting after summer break was at Pat’s Pizza on September 1st. Twenty-nine members were present. Not a very good turnout after the fifty members we had at the last meeting. The meeting was called to order by President Roger Grindle at 6:30. Old and new business was discussed. Don’t forget your can tabs for the October 4th meeting at Pat’s Pizza in Ellsworth. There will be a joint meeting with Washington County on November 3rd at the VFW hall in Franklin. Let’s all get out and show our two Presidents what we stand for and give them some support. Maybe I’ll be from the other county next month. The Club voted to donate to the new temple fund. Special thanks to John Fuller for purchasing the granite bench. Joe Marshall won the raffle. Special guest was Bruce Clark from Florida. The meeting adjourned at 7:30. Now for the local news. Noble Bruce Clark and Lady Lois from Florida were spending a week vacationing in Ellsworth. For some reason, they just can’t stay out of Maine. Yours Truly had to wine and dine them one afternoon. Hope that doesn’t happen again for a while...just kidding!!! Past Potentate Geddes Simpson and Lady Carole (with an e) took another honeymoon to the state of Georgia. P.S. Geddes..how many times did you get married that first year? Past Potentate John Fernald and Lady Betty got invited out for a turkey dinner. Gee, I didn’t think Thanksgiving came in August. I thought that was the time for lobster feeds. By the way, John, I hope at some point I can get on your Christmas list. But please keep me on your pickle list. Noble Tommy’s goat must have gotten a little under the weather, because I saw it one day at a different clinic. Remember the calling post is doing very well so keep your ears close to the phone at the end of the month for your local updates. Those celebrating birthdays are Yours Truly, Bill Geel, Brian Hamor, (don’t know what you’re doing, Brian, but I surely won’t be watching TV). Did you forget my card? Also Wanda Fernald, Danny DeWitt, Joan Terry, Lori Weaver, Bob Stanwood, Butch Hackney, Robert Findlay, Clarence Rodick, Minnie Bowden, George Sealey, Eugene Kelley, Bonnie Taylor, and Naomi Edgerly. “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.” – Martin Luther King.Jr. October 2015 11 Honeymooners are David and Lori Weaver, Dave and Brenda Thomas, Cecil and Julie Fernald, Richard and Diane Findlay, Keith and Nancy Robbins, Don and Regina McHenan, Dennis and Donna Mallory, Past Potentate John and Betty Fernald, and Jacob and Amanda Day. Don’t know how I did it, but I omitted Cory and Holly Cirard. Remember honeymooners, you still have time to order roses and a bag of popcorn so you can cuddle up for the evening. Whoops!! Gotta go; the phone’s ringing. Someone must have found my number. Reporter Noble Harold Adams Hello everyone. Ten members were at last months meeting, we voted and accepted two new members into the unit. We are happy to welcome Noble John Lessor and his Lady Tavia, and Darrel Hodgdon and his Lady Karen. Anah’s new home is coming along nicely, we enjoyed our meeting there. We want to send our prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery for our Lady Judith Pratt, we are thinking of you Judith.

As I write this I’m amazed as to how quickly summer disappeared. About three times as fast as what’s to come and the older I get, the quicker it goes. Just an observation, that’s all. On August 16th ten members of our unit met at Dysarts in Hampden for a topless (except for bashful Bud) convey ride on back roads to the Mansion Event home in Dexter.

Arriving there we were met by our illustrious leader noble Dick and quality control officer noble Terry on the front porch checking to make sure that the liquid refreshments available there were up to the high standards this unit has come to expect. They assured us that they were. A short meeting was held on the porch before lunch. It was warm and hard to believe that one of the topics discussed was planing for the upcoming Feztival of trees. Should be a great one this year with our new Shrine center more than able to support a very worthwhile event. A lovely luncheon followed in the Mansion’s elegant dining room. Hostess Lauraine and her husband provided a delicious selection and it was enjoyed by all. Following lunch, noble John led us back to the coast. It was a beautiful day with perfect weather for a ride and gathering with friends. We should do it more often. Lady Lorraine and I will be in Colorado for a cousins reunion during the NSA at Kora in Lewiston. Any stories from that event will have been circulated by the time you read this I’m sure. I understand they have green brownies available in Colorado, so I will probably miss those stories. October will be a busy month for noble John as he will be out shopping for gifts for his lovely lady Donna both for her birthday as well as their anniversary. Noble Bud will be treating his lady Theresa to something special on her birthday I’m certain. Noble Terry, you still have a few days to get your special lady Bertie something extra special for putting up with you for all these years. Good job Bertie! Congratulations and happy days to all of you celebrating this month! Continue with your thoughts and prayers for friends, family and fellow Shriners in need. Many are dealing with health issues and your prayers do help. Special thoughts are with Noble Scott and his Lady Kelly as he recovers. Remember it’s all about the kids as another month passes. Reporting for the convertibles, Gaylord Sundt Ken Hanscom Jr. Reporter October and the trucks have been put to bed. The parades are over until next year. It use to be that we were on the road all summer, but the way the economy is now a lot of towns have cut back on their parades.

What a coincidence!) with our recurring appearance at Home Depot’s Children’s Workshop. There was a large showing of kids despite competition from The Bangor Fair. Fortunately four loyal clowns in the persons of Div-It (Duane Young), Fou (Martin Perfit). Gumpy (Mike Robishaw) and Tag Along (Jeff Clark) were there to handle things. That evening saw three of our stalwarts twisting balloons at the Senior League World Series opening ceremonies in Bangor.

There was no respite with the very well attended Air National Guard Family Day event the very next day (Sunday, August 2). The families and Air Guard personnel well entertained as well as harassed by Spiffy (Kerry Spofford), Petals (Steve Watson), and Fou (Martin Perfit). A tip of the wig to our own Drew Matlins (AKA Iggy Noramus) who, in his real life role as ANG Family Services coordinator, organizes this annual event for the Guard members and their families. Thursday, August 13 found Petals (Steve Watson) and Pappi (Stan Baker) entertaining the residents of The PhillipsStrickland House in Bangor at their summer cookout. The annual Hampden Children’s Day Parade on Saturday, August 15 was well supported by Div-It (Duane Young), Fou (Martin Perfit), Spiffy (Kerry Spofford), Squiggles (Dave Small), Ko-Ko (Brian Mushrow) and our very active apprentice Tag Along (Jeff Clark). It was good to see Ko-Ko and Squiggles back on action once again. At the same time Gizmo (Lorne Noiles), Coota (Arthur Watson) and Diggah (Scott Knight) headed to the far north for the Brownville parade. My meteorological consultants tell me that the weather was no more comfortable up there than it was down in Hampden. The next day, Sunday, August 16 found Fou (Martin Perfit) and Dim Wit (Scott Kennard) at the Bangor Elks Picnic where, much to their surprise and relief, they were joined by Dumpster (Dennis Dyer) and Tin Cup (Tom Boone) who travelled down from Dover-Foxcroft This is a great example of Shriner fraternalism/ Thanks, Brothers.

This months birthday celebrants are Nobles Todd Bridges, Sheldon Heath, Delbert Pinkham, Charles Curtis, Jr. and my personal favorite, Lady Rhonda Russell,who will spend her birthday putting on a supper for the Masons. Teddy TaTa Reporting Noble Mike Murphy Reporter Greetings Nobles and Ladies. I missed last month’s deadline, so I’m making a few minor changes to that report, because I broke one of my fingers and typing on my right hand is a bit of a challenge. I may not be able to make the Northeast in Lewiston as it is one of the necessary piping fingers. I have been practicing a bit and given the swelling in the finger and lack of movement, I may be into October before I’m back in due form. I have to say that it is amazing how often one bumps their fingers during the day without giving it a thought. Someone asked if it was the worst thing that had ever happened to me and not wanting to whine or complain more than I had said, “I’ve had better things happen to me.” To put this into a learnable lesson, If you have the choice to brake a bone or not, choose not. Here is the report that you should have gotten in August. This will be a short report. I’ve had a couple of really busy weeks at work, and I haven’t had much time to properly prepare my normal report. Furthermore, your Highlanders have been busy. We, as well as several other Shrine units, performed at the Bar Harbor 4th of July parade. As always there was a huge crowd. My wife, the lad, and I left Millinocket at about 6 am to get there “Preparation for old age should begin not later than one’s teens.

We really should have left a little earlier, so I was a bit frantic, because I know the parking is a challenge. Long about Ellsworth, I got stuck behind an antique VW microbus. Well, they just going the speed limit simply wasn’t going to work for me. So after a fair amount of grumbling, at my first opportunity I passed it. Despite how I drove, it stayed right behind me. And turn for turn it followed me. After a little more grumbling, I pulled into a choice parking spot at the parade lineup, and to my horror the VW parked right next to me. I had to go over to the driver and his wife and humbly apologize for all the grumbling I did, because the owner/driver was one of our drummers and a friend. It just goes to show how we should always watch what we say and think. Kraig laughed when I told him as he suspected that I was quietly making an ass of myself. On another note, on July 7th, the Highlanders degree team performed a Master Mason degree on a young piper. Nick has worked with members of our band for several years. He just graduated from High School and he may be one of the first, if not the first Master Mason to plan in the Shriner’s Football Game. We are all really proud of Nick for joining Blue Lodge and for his impressive piping skills. Young men like him are the future of our fraternity. I just finished a solo piping parade in East Millinocket. Father was driving the parade marshal and kind of setting the pace of the parade. He was driving a 72 Corvette Stingray Convertible; needless to say I was marching at double time trying to keep up. It wasn’t a long parade, and I was thankful. This evening (July 11th) the band is going to play at the Fort Knox Scottish Tatoo. There are usually 4 bands and we each play a set at the Fort. It is a very nice venue and I’d encourage everyone to attend. On July, 18th the band played for the Lincoln homecoming. We also played in Winter Harbor on August 8th. If you have never been there, it is a nice quaint little town. We are getting close to starting our fall practice schedule, so if you are interested in pipes or drums, please send me an email at [email protected] . Until next time, Be blessed. for their participation, dedication and enthusiastic attitude towards the formation of the new ANAH Facts & Figures Unit.

Pollard Lodge in Orrington on August 12, 2015. Also present for the banquet were many Anah Shrine Nobles, including Potentate Jesse Thomas and his Lady Brenda. A Ceremonial was held after the banquet and the Temple welcomed three new Princesses: Beverly Cobb, Janet Nadeau and Elizabeth Bowen. The Temple currently has many fundraisers in the works “For the Children”. One of these is an Origami Owl fundraiser, which will be held following the Stated Session on October 18th at approximately 4:30p.m. at the Ralph J. Pollard Lodge. “What is Origami Owl?” you ask. Origami Owl is custom jewelry, which gives you the opportunity to be the designer and make jewelry for yourself or give as a gift. All Anah Ladies are invited to join us or contact a Temple member to place an order. Refreshments will be served. The Sewing Committee will be working on sewing items of need for the Boston and Springfield Shriners Hospitals.

Beckett, Reporter Greetings from Schoodic Shrine Club: Great time was had by all at the World famous Fish Fry held at the Meddybemps Community Center on Saturday, August 22nd. This was the annual Divan Visitation. Potentate Jesse Thomas and several members of the Divan, with their ladies, were in attendance. We had nearly 40 Nobles and ladies with us. The fish was great. The chefs did a terrific job. It went so well because there were several supervisors to watch over the work. Potentate Jesse brought his greetings and gave us an up-date on what is happening with Anah. He spoke of the new Shrine Center being prepared for the Nobility and of the many ways we can help through donations, pledges, and the purchase of pavers, plaques, and benches. Visited with Noble Harland Hitchings last week at Ross Manor. Good that I got in when I did, because this week he’s home. Noble Lloyd “Dunk” Johnson was in the hospital in Calais last week. I went over to visit him a few days later and he had gone home. All the best to these Nobles and to anyone else not feeling well. As we look ahead, our October meeting is a joint meeting with the Charlotte County Shrine Club in St. Stephen, NB, on Tuesday, October 27th, at the Masonic Hall. Social hour begins at 5:00 pm US time. This meeting is Nobles only. There will be no meeting in November (deer season).

Noble John Farrington, Reporter President Richard Elwell called the first meeting of 2015-16 of NPSC to order at 7 p.m. in Island Falls. He thanked all 39 Nobles, Ladies and guests at this meeting for their attendance. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful New England boiled dinner prepared by the great cooks of the VFW. The supper was preceded by a very relaxing attitude adjustment hour. The president called for a moment of silence for deceased Nobles Seth Libby, Noble Orland Shorey and for Noble George Sargent’s family with the recent loss of his granddaughter. We extend our most sincere sympathies and condolences to the members of these three families. Because Ken and Raleigh Hanscom were not in attendance there were no fez fines. George and Edwina Stanley received a warm welcome this evening. They were in attendance after a long absence. We expect that they will now be able to attend more of the Club’s functions since they have retired from their business in Medway; Stanley’s Auto Center. Congratulations on your retirement. Their son and daughter-in-law, Adam and Tiffany, are now running the business. The 50/50 was won by the president and he graciously gave it back to the club. Our dignitaries for the evening were once again Aide Emeritus; Paul Thornton, Greeter Emeritus; Derward Shedd and P.P. Tony Bowers. A meeting of the current officers and directors will take place at President Elwell’s home at 6:30 on September 24. I reported the results of the nominating committee and with no nominations from the floor, Tony Bowers made a motion with a second from Burt Weed to have the secretary cast one ballot to elect all of those named. It has been done and the Nobles will be installed at the Club’s Annual meeting on October 7 at the East Branch Snow Rovers club house in Medway. Our guest speaker for the meeting was Brad Kytes. He is the project manager for the Oakfield Wind Project. Mr. Kytes shared a great amount of information about the project with the Nobles and Ladies. At the conclusion of his presentation President Elwell thanked Mr. Kytes, reminded all of our October meeting and bade everyone a safe trip home. Until next time, please remember to keep Masonry and Shrine Dom in your life. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 $300.00 Craig Babcock $25 Steve McDougall $25 Floyd Clement $25 Lucy Thomas $25 Attle Smith $25 Dustin Boston $25 Robert C.

Potentate Jesse and Lady Brenda’s year is coming to a close in a few short months and a new potentate will be at the helm. Our September 3rd meeting was a held at the Bluebird Family Restaurant in Machias and it was great to see new candidates and their Ladies in attendance. There were 39 people in attendance which was wonderful. Carolyn Wright won the door prize. Those in attendance included: Brad Prout, High Priest and Prophet; David Weaver and Donnie Wright, Directors Staff; Chief Greeter Warren Orcutt and Assistant Chief Greeter Mike Bailey; Joe McDonald, WCSC President and member of the Mini Cars; Troy Huffman, Lobster Boats; and Dick Kilton, Treasurer for WCSC; plus their ladies. The Festival of Trees is being held in November at the Temple’s new location and parking will not be the issue that it has been in the past. Posters will be out and it has already been posted on Anah’s Facebook page. This event gets more successful each year and there is more interest from organizations and Shrine Units to participate and put up a tree, and in some cases two. WCSC voted to sponsor a tree again in 2015 and the theme will be ice fishing. A list of items that the club would like to have donated for the tree can be secured from Joe McDonald. WCSC members have been very generous in the past and why our tree has been so popular by those attending. Many items have already been donated for the 2015 tree. If you do not want to purchase an item, a monetary donation may be given and items will be purchased with the money. We are hoping to see more support from WCSC members this year for this great fundraiser for our Temple. The November meeting will be a joint meeting with the Hancock County Shrine Club and will be held at the Franklin Vets Club on Route 182. It was voted to hold the December meeting and Holiday Party as a joint event on December 12th. Information will soon be out once all the arrangements have been made.

We certainly had a nice Labor day Weekend. We could have done without the humidity though. As I write this, there is rain in the near future. We could use it. Those of you who joined me at the Noble’s Appreciation evening, we had a good time. The next event at the shrine center will be October 3rd. for the Noble of the Year. You may not receive your Anagram before this event so keep October 24th in mine for the Potentate’s reception. The Sunshine Craft Fair will be at the new center also. Be sure to keep time in your schedule for this fun day, November 7th. In the November Anagram , I will have a date to report to you for a little Holiday get together.

Last month’s question was: Where did the term “Read the Riot Act” come from? Answer: As it turns out “The Riot Act” was a real British Law under the reign of King George I. The law made it illegal for twelve or more people to riot. If a riot did Fundraiser for Shriners Hospitals in Boston and Springfield.

This month’s question is: In keeping with October’s month famous holiday, Halloween, when and where did JackOLanterns come about? The time has come to close the “Blotter” for this month and to remember “IT’S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS”. Noble Fred Patterson, Reporter Greetings Ladies and Nobles. Our September meeting was held at our new temple with decent attendance even though it was on Labor Day weekend. We had a new member join the Second Section. Noble Tony Ranco of Waltham, sponsored by Nobles Doug Hardison and Gary Jordan was voted into the unit. Tony happens to be Doug Hardisons son in law and we are happy to have him as a member of the unit. The Second Section would like to thank all of the Nobles who participated in fundraising activities over the summer. We did parking for the Waterfront Concerts all summer which was headed up by Assistant Director Tom Breitweg. He and Lady Lillian along with Nobles Harland Williamson, Clayton Wallace, Jerry Hayes, Mike Gray and others filled the Dawson Realty lot and the Shrine lot almost every show. We also sold gun raffle tickets all summer and we want to recognize Noble Rich Johnson for going above and beyond by selling 160 tickets for the unit. The Folk Festival was at the end of August and Noble Dennis Hill helped with the organization of the event. We had a great group of Nobles show up for the Folk Festival and it was very successful for the unit as well. All in all we had a very successful summer with regards to fundraising. The Gun Raffle we voted to do was an overwhelming success for the unit. We made up 1000 tickets and we were able to sell 966 tickets overall. We sold some right at the wire but we made it and I would think that this will be an annual fundraiser for the unit. Thank you Joe Kitchen for bringing this to the unit and thank you to all who pitched in and sold what you sold. Go to the Anah Shrine web page to see the list of winners. September 5 was moving day for the kitchen from the Main Street temple to the new temple on Broadway. A small group of Nobles and Ladies showed up and we got everything moved into the new temple. Still a few items left to bring the kitchen to completion but we should be good to go very soon. The location of the new Second Section closet is getting closer to reality. We have the location but we need to make plans for the petitions in the room as the plan is to split the room into two to three separate rooms so we can lock it up. The Second Section Noble of the Year “An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don’t.” – Anatole France October 2015 Night will be over by this publication and more on that night in the November Anahgram. Feztival of Trees is fast approaching and with our new building it will be bigger than we have ever seen it. Make sure you all spread the word with friends and family about this event so we can make it the biggest yet. Cafe’ setup will be different this year as we will be in a smaller kitchen than we had before. We will probably be setting a schedule of sorts to get help in certain areas at certain times as we will be limited on space this year. More to follow in future Anahgrams on the Feztival of Trees. The Second Section would like to send our condolences out to the family of Harold Newman who passed away at the end of August. Noble Newman was a long time member of the Second Section and although I was not in the unit when he was, he was talked about a lot and will be missed by all who knew him. The unit voted at our September meeting to do the meal at the Wheeler’s Super Supper on February 13. This will take a lot of Nobles to pull this off so put this in your schedule so we can count on your help. Upcoming meetings are October 2, November 6 and December 4. The October meeting will be a Ladies night and we will host the Ladies at Dysart’s on Broadway just up from the temple. October birthday wishes go out to Ladies Regina Jackson, Irene Littlefield, Amber Robison and Dottie Wellman and Noble Darrell King. Happy October wedding anniversary to Ron & Suzette Harford, Kristopher & Leah Rideout, Tom & Marge Severence, Glen & Elizabeth Sherman and Joe & Dottie Wellman.

I want to thank the building committee for all their hard work in preparing our new home at 1404 Broadway to be one of if not the best Shrine temple around. This puts the FOT committee under a great deal of pressure to present an event worthy of these new surroundings.

In closing I want to say that I appreciate every thing anyone does to help putting the Feztival on each year. You don’t have to donate and entire day for a project just a few hours to allow those doing the long shift a chance to get away from a ticket table or out from behind a sales table for a moment to enjoy the festivities.

With the fruits of these two aspects of the club in the books, we are contemplating a project that will seemingly aid in our efforts to stand alone in the local “Facility Rental” arena and become the only rental hall in the area to boast the capability of air conditioning , not to mention the financial benefits of less expensive heating costs with the installation of heat pumps for the club house. The club would like to acknowledge the efforts of two of our loyal and philanthropic members and their families. Recently, the family businesses of Raymond Young and Ryan Otis organized our 4th annual lobster feed at Young’s Lobster Pound on the waterfront in Belfast. We all enjoyed a light hearted night out on the beautiful shore of Penobscot Bay, not to mention the World Class delicacy of our region. Also, thanks to the efforts of one of our most valued volunteers, noble Alfred Reynolds and Lady Catherine for their work in arranging the relocation of our refreshment booth for those attending this annual event. As for the direction of the club itself, the Board of Directors will be starting the process of selecting members to assume the various “At Large” positions being vacated by the terms of our by-laws. Our directors meetings are held the first Monday of each month and typically last only an hour or so. The diverse back grounds of the members of our board gives the club the strength and ability to “Forward Think” the things that will continue to make the club one of the strongest privately held organizations in all of ANAH shrine. We are asking each of you to please think about investing a small amount of your time to help keep our club operating in the direction we’ve come to appreciate. Any noble interested in sitting on the board of directors, please contact Charlie Plourde or Charlie Pray to express your interest for consideration to this worthwhile effort. Lastly, it seems the holiday season is just around the corner, and with that, comes the fabulous fund raiser for ANAH itself, the “Feztival of Trees”. This year, we are fortunate to have two very giving individuals volunteer to direct the efforts for the Waldo County tree. Lady Jean Dutch and Lady Ethel Whitcomb have offered up their artistic interpretation to arrange and set up this year’s entrance into what has rapidly become Anah’s largest fundraiser. Please reach out to these two ladies if you would like to aide in their efforts. Best wishes to the members, families and guests of the Waldo County Shrine Club.
