Dieckhaus Greetings Nobles, Can you believe it is already the end of the year and we are entering the busy holiday season? I wish everyone a safe and joyous holiday season with their families. Even though it’s getting close to the end of the year we still have plenty work to do here at Moolah. We have many upcoming events starting off with the Potentate Holiday Ball on December 5th in Moolah Ballroom, Brunch with Santa on Dec. 12th, and the Shriner’s Patient Party on Dec. 13, in the Ballroom. Don’t forget the last Stated meeting of the year on December 16th (ELECTION NIGHT). Please make sure to bring your paid dues card for 2015 so you can get into the ballroom to vote. What a great year! Moolah’s new administrator has been on the job for a complete year now and has worked very hard with the staff to make sure they take care of all of our needs. Kudos to all of the staff at Moolah for all you do for the Moolah Shriners and all of our guests. I am proud and honored to have been able to serve as Moolah’s 126th Potentate. I certainly could not have been able to do it without the support of the divan and all members of Moolah. Thank you for the opportunity, I hope I served you well. As I step aside I ask that you give Lenny Martin and his divan complete support as they move forward with keeping Moolah Shrine the best shrine in the system. Thank You for Being “Seen in 2015” A Message from First Lady Christine, David and I are so truly blessed to have each of you for our friends. We have had an outstanding year of friends and fellowship and I don’t know how to say thank you enough. We have never had the opportunity to work with such an unbelievable group of people. Thank you to each of you for giving time, talents, and loving hearts for us and the shrine. This is truly a year of memories for us. Thank you for your support and friendship, and a year we will never forget. I hope to see all of you around the shrine next year, and years to come. God Bless! Christine Dieckhaus 3 CT tm Chaplain’s Corner by Karl Erselius Time to “Winterize” Soon we all may be humming or singing that old song, “Let It Snow”. Remember the first line? “Oh, the weather outside is frightful…..” Growing up here in St. Louis, I learned the meaning of a cold and icy winter. Our winters may not be as bad as some places, but they can get pretty mean. In addition to the “outside” winter weather, our spiritual lives also can experience “winters”, and we must winterize for them. When winter comes it is a time of bleak, dark, and dreary days. We must face the fact that winter can be hard and “trials” are hard. Just like the season of winter, our spiritual “winters” can leave us discouraged, lonely and depressed. Some things can make the cold of “our winters/trials” very intense and should cause us to winterize and “be on guard”. 1. The Cold Air Culprit of the World. When we are going through trials and hardships, we sometimes tend to let our guard down, making it easier for worldly influences to take over in our lives. It seeps through the cracks around the doors and windows, just like the winter air. We’ve got to block those cracks. Using God’s Word is the best way to do this. If we have it in our hearts, it can help stop the “winter air of the world” from seeping into our lives. Psalm 119:11 tells us “Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” 2. The Icicles of Cold Attitudes. In winter it’s easy to develop a bad attitude. When we’re in the midst of a trial, we sometimes automatically go into “icicle attitude mode;” i.e: get cranky, out of sorts with family, and we complain more. We must remember no one else can fix our bad attitudes, only WE can do that! It’s not easy adjusting one’s attitude during a “winter” because the “weight” of the ice bears down on us. But the simplest way to start on adjusting a bad attitude is to take a step back and remember who God is and who WE ARE NOT. Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God.” 3. The Blizzards of Circumstances. Winter can bring many things; blizzards among them, and they can be devastating. Circumstances in our lives can also be devastating; i.e: mounting bills, sickness/poor health, or relationships sour, etc. We’re “weighed down” and think we can’t go on because we can’t see down the road. During these times we need to remember that God DOES see the outcome. Remember Job’s plight? Job23:10 reads “But He knoweth the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” 4. The Jack Frost of Depression. The dark, bleak days of winter are often depressing, and “trials” certainly are depressing. There’s no easy way out of depression, but keeping our lives in tune with God can help guard against it. Regular personal devotions and a time with God each day can go a long way in dealing with it. Psalm55:17 says “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.” We will all have “winters” in our lives, but choosing how we deal and prepare for them can make all the difference in the world. May God bless each and every one, during this special season and throughout the year. Peace and Shalom. CT tm 4 These We Do Not Forget “Es Selamu Aleikum” We do not lose the ones we love They only go before Where there is everlasting life Where sorrow is no more.... And there the soul will always live And peace is everywhere We do not lose the ones we love God Takes them in His Care. October William D. Botter Michael W. Henderson Thomas R. Hildebrand Ronald E.

Everyone should have Ad Packets and Circus Tickets by now. Remember to get out there and SELL. The kids free coupon tickets are also available. Pick some up and distribute in your area.

CT tm 6 December Shriner of the Month Harold “Chub” Wisely, Sr. Our Shriner of the Month for December is Harold “Chub” Wisely Sr. Noble Wisely became a Mason in 1966, joining Craftsman Lodge and later moved his membership to Harmony Lodge #499. A Scottish Rite member since 1968, he joined Moolah in April of 1969. Active in the lodge and the Shrine, his wife Eunice was also a member of Eastern Star. For 46 years, Noble Wisely has been a member of the Moolah Guides and continues to do Bingo every week. Although, he is no longer a driver for the guides, he is very proud of his eight plus years of helping our kids. Not only is he still giving his time to the Shrine, he also still volunteers at the V.A.

Pearl Harbor day is Tuesday, December 7th. Fly our flag.. The flag of these United States of America …. Never forget. Gone West... Illustrious Sir Ronald Krueger. It is with great sadness that we report the passing of our friend and brother Illus. Sir Ronald Krueger. Ronald was a GREAT supporter of the Air Patorl and Shrine as a whole. He was a founding member of the Air Patrol. He was our Air Patrol president in 1972 as well as Moolah Potentate in 2000. Many remember the great times with the Wehrenberg Theatre Balloon races. He was very active and supportive of the many masonic organizations. Including the youth groups. Ron was active and supported many community and philanthropic organizations. We will miss his energy and drive. The American Muscle Unit held its yearly Veteran's Day BBQ on Saturday, November 14th to show our appreciation to our wounded veterans at Jefferson Barracks. This was the second year we held this event in conjunction with that great bunch of guys from the Smokin' Nobles Unit. Our Units provided hundreds of grilled chicken or pork steaks with all the fixings to the appreciative veterans and hospital staff at Jefferson Barracks. The American Muscle Unit participated in numerous Parades this year. We drove our American-made muscle cars as well as both of our Flying Carpet vehicles with their new, high-powered engines in parades. This winter, the Unit plans on producing several more Flying Carpets, but this time on larger, zero-turn mowers! If this also sounds like fun to you, join us! We have no initiation fees and no yearly dues. If you have a muscle car you would like to show or parade, join us. If you do not have a muscle car but would like to drive one of our Magic Carpets, join us! We meet the second Wednesday of every month at 6:30 pm in the Unit Room we share with the Hospital Committee. We hope to see you then. 636-456-4885 314-638-3633 From Chairman John: December is the start of cold weather in the Northern Hemisphere, however we have been very fortunate that the weather has been moderate during most of November. The baseball season came to an end with the K C Royals winning the World Series . Oh well, there is always next year. The Potentate has made his final plans for the year with a fun trip to Branson for a viewing of the Christmas Lights. On December 5th is his Holiday Ball. This would be a good time to fill the Ballroom with Ambassadors. The Ambassador Christmas party with our Ladies will be December 11th. All of the Ambassadors will be receiving a Flyer in the mail. After 13 years serving as the Ambassador Chairman, I will be retiring as of December 30. Thanks for all your support with the lunches and social times. I have always been treated with respect and have made many lasting friendships along the way. I will always be available for questions to help with the Ambassadors. I call all of the Ambassadors’ attention to the Ambassador lunches on the 2nd Friday of the month. The next Ambassador’s Lunch will be on Friday, December 11 in the Oasis at Moolah Temple. We will continue to have our popular open bar and our three drawings: the 50/50, free dinner and jackpot. You may be a winner but you won’t have a chance if you do not attend. Ambassadors, you are missing a great time, if you do not attend our meetings.

Thoughts/prayers are with our own Ted Dearing following the loss of his mother, dear Lady Roberta. We also remember Jim Polite who recently lost his mother. January will not only bring in a New Year, it will begin a new era in Patrol history. After 18 years of outstanding leadership, Captain Buldog will pass command to Lieutenant Patrick Hensley. No doubt Patrick will continue the great tradition of leadership. But he has a tough act to follow. Since inception, the Patrol has been guided by 11 Captains. Patrick will be number 12. Our two previous Captains, Grimm and Bachman served 17 and 18 years respectively. The secret of our success is a long history of consistent leadership. Doug asked that I share I have been CAMELS’ TALES editor since 2003. Hopefully this has contributed some consistency too. Patrick and those who team with him, will establish their own traditions and styles. But may the tradition of consistent, reliable leadership remain a hallmark of all we do. Patrick…Lead and inspire for AT LEAST 19 years!! Merry Christmas/Happy New Year. I’m just sayin’. Yeah baby!!

The blessed birth of Christ...families, good friends, parties and splendiferous food, the likes of which answer all your Christmas epicurean desires. Presents, some given and some received. The joys of Christmas are wonderful. Hello from your Moolah Band! We are now in full swing with our concert season, and this, to me, is the best year we have ever had since I have been conducting. The musicianship of our members continues to improve, and with new music in our folders, there seems to be an enthusiasm that is greater than in years past. The audiences love the music and show it with their applause and the comments we receive after each performance. This is where the call goes out to the Nobles and their family members who play or have played in the band. With the participation of a few Nobles, the Band can reclaim the glory years of the past. We need to make a good showing to exhibit what Shrinedom is, and how we are contributing to the Shriners Hospital. Come out and join us, thereby guaranteeing that our performances are the best possible. It would give us a more professional appearance when we celebrate our Centennial Anniversary in 2019. Come see us on Wednesday nights at 7:30 and rekindle the fun you had when you were in the school band. We are looking for new members, especially Nobles who are interested in spreading the word of what Shriners do for the kids by supporting the Shriners Hospitals for Children. You may be a Noble who is looking for a home where you can make use of your musical talents! If that is the case, please give me a call or e-mail and I will answer any questions you may have. Also, remember we are a community band, so if your wife, child or grandchild plays an instrument, he or she is welcome to play in the Band. We meet Wednesday evenings at 7:30 to practice.

Isn’t it wonderful to be healthy and/or hopefully mending from any infirmity, desirous and able to imbibe in a ”self controlled” amount of an intoxicating beverage or even a limited amount of Camel’s Milk. You do want to remember how much enjoyment you had and if you drove, the road’s twists and turns can be a challenge to the intoxicated mind. Talking about celebrating, the Potentate’s Holiday Ball, December 5th is right around the corner, so it’s not too soon to get the ol’ suit or tux ready. If your Lady wishes to grace all with her beauteous presence at the Ball, don’t forget a corsage will get you a lot of love and appreciation. As a matter of fact, she’d probably appreciate your taking her to this years’ Brunch with Santa December 12th. It’s mainly for the kids but the women are invited. It’s fun for all. Don’t forget The Chanter’s Christmas Party, December 19th. Genesis has again been commissioned to prepare our Christmas dinner, so Ladies, no need to bring a thing...just your husband or a friend. Sixty-seven words separate us from the end of this article, so here’s all there’s left to say: We can attend the Hospital Patient Party December 13th, noon till three o’clock. We sing for our Kids at The Hospital December 17th. We can attend Fairwinds Christmas Concert in St. Charles, Wednesday, December 23rd. We do NOT have a rehearsal on Monday, December 28th. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

This has always been a great time and a way to show our appreciation to our veterans and our own clown veterans. You would be surprised by the number of veterans in our unit. This month we also attended the Adoption Saturday at the Family Court Center in Clayton for the completetion of many family adoptions. This day was very special for all who attended and especially the children who became permanent members of loving familes. We now have all the Christmas events to look forward to and I'm sure they will be well attended by our unit. These events are geared especially for our children but there are a few geared to just the adults. The Holiday Ball and the Clown Adult Chistmas Party are always entertaining and a lot of fun for all. Computer Club Director: Bob Holscher President: Ray White Vice President: Dale Nagel Who?

In case you missed it, Merlin (Tom Dolan) gave the induction speech for former Blues hockey player, Chris Pronger, as he was inducted into the National Hockey League Hall of Fame in November.

At Arms: TBA Chaplain: Rick Braun Bar Chairman: TBA Email: [email protected] Greetings Nobles! December is already upon us, and you know what that means…time to vote! Our Stated Meeting, the first Monday of the month, we will hold our election of officers for 2016, so be sure to show up for this one, as well as the Christmas/Election Night Stated Meeting of the entire Nobility, on the third Wednesday. Make sure your vote is counted, and positions are set by showing up! We really need to see a surge in involvement. We saw one in 2014, which waned throughout the past year, and it’s high time for us to see a newfound renaissance that rivals the best of the last decade. Thanks to everyone who came out to help with our Fall Ceremonial. A good time was had by all, and we have some fine new Nobles in the Temple ranks. It would be great to see some new blood in our veins, and have a better participation rate from unit members. Please don’t pass this off as the “usual nagging,” it’s something we need to keep our unit relevant, strong and progressive. Make a commitment to being more active this year. 2016 will be the beginning of a new era, The Era of the Directors Staff. Switching gears to a personal note, this is my last month as the Secretary and Scribe of the Moolah Directors Staff, and if you didn’t see me at the November Stated Meeting, you might again, at a convention or regional/national gathering someday. I (Noble Chris Matero) am leaving the Desert of Missouri, heading to my home in the West, where I will rest at El Jebel Temple, Oasis of Denver, Desert of Colorado. I’ve had a great time at Moolah, and learned some very valuable lessons about fraternity, brotherhood, and human interaction here. I am proud to say that I became a Noble at Moolah, but now I move on to fulfill a childhood dream, as I used to tell my friends that I would be an El Jebel Shriner “when I grew up.” Okay, so I’ll be an El Jebel Shriner, but I won’t tell anyone I’ve “grown up,” and I hope you won’t either. Thanks for the memories and times, Brethren! The Directors Staff meets the first Monday of the month, at 7:00 pm sharp. Come early, have some food, and hang out. Stay late for nuttiness and shenanigans. We hope to see new faces and old faces that we haven’t been frightened by, in quite a while. Show up! We kinda ROCK!! Drum Corps Director - Tom Duke President - David Glenn Secretary - Rick Gwydir Treasurer - Rich Steed By Jim Hubeli On Saturday, October 17, Moolah members, relatives and friends of Ron and Merry Geisler gathered at their home for their annual Fall Picnic. Again, this year it was a cool day, so we used up a lot of wood around the big fire pit. The picnic included those big sausages, chicken, great chili and other specialties by Merry and other ladies. Of course, we had nice desserts and huge roasted marshmallows by the fire. The world renowned Moolah Drum and Bugle Corps played for a while until they ran out of songs. They were replaced by that fine country band, "The Buskin Bootleggers" who played and sang good ole country music until closing time. We always have a great time and we thank Ron and Merry for their wonderful hospitality for the past 10 years. Then on October 24, Moolah had the Fall Ceremonial honoring Victor Dane, our late brother, friend and member. Victor was a talented musician, photographer and jack of all trades. He was in line to be Potentate in 2016. Since Victor was a retired fireman and perennial Santa, the Drum Corps played Jingle Bells at lunch with fireman hats as our Bob Atwell entered as Santa. We will all miss Santa Vic. The Moolah ladies also honored his wife Ann at a luncheon in Chesterfield.

They prioritized their equipment needs of three pieces of equipment--the first of which (Mini C-Arm) has been purchased.The first of which (Mini C-Arm) has been purchased. The DRX Revolution Mobile Unit and 9900 Mobile Super C0Arm are the other two pieces needed. Other fundraising and pledges have been made towards these other machines.

I am sad to report the loss of Noble Lodge’s #1 member, our first Worshipful Master Ron Krueger. When the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri granted Noble Lodge their charter on December 10, 2004, it did so with Worshipful Brother Krueger being their first charter member and its first Worshipful Master. He was a champion for the Missouri Childrens Foundation, actively supporting the MOCHIP program both financially and by making his theatre lobbies available for the registration of children. He served the Masonic fraternity for over 52 years with outstanding devotion and participation. He was called from labor to rest on October 21st, 2015 at the age of 75, and will be truly missed. Noble Lodges’ charter will be draped through the rest of 2015 in honor of Ron. We were also saddened with the loss of Thomas (Bud) Hildebrand, who was currently serving as the director of the Moolah Air Patrol. If you know someone who might be interested in becoming a Mason, you can be the 1st line signer of your candidate’s petition. Only 1 signer of a Masonic petition needs to be from Noble Lodge, the other signer can be from any Lodge. Keep this in mind if you have a candidate. CT tm 18 It all starts with you submitting the petition for your candidate. The petition (and $75 initiation fee) will be received at our next meeting and your candidate will be notified. In most cases he will be invited to attend the next meeting, meet with the investigating committee and then his EA degree will be scheduled. Regular meetings are on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. If you have any questions, contact the Master or Secretary from the information listed above.

God has been very generous to Marsha and me and we want to say Thank You for all your love and support, and that is an added bonus to the Miracle God performs through the work of the staff at OUR hospitals. Say your prayers and God Bless.
