I hope that all have jumped “on board” for the year. We wouldn’t want to leave anyone waiting at the station! I have found that one of the hardest jobs as Potentate is writing an article for the Kolums in advance of the activities. I don’t like to live in the past but with January and February gone, let us remember a little about February. Let me again thank all that came out in full force to support the Circus. I guess that “Punxsutawney Phil” let us down by not giving us an early spring, although I see a few Our Elective Divan, Planning Committee and Trustees have been very active in seeking new sites for your consideration as a new home for Kosair Shrine Temple.

We had a big turn out with the “Whodunit” Murder mystery and Friday night dinner. Now, who was that yelling to convict him? I will have to report later on the outcome of the Summerfield Studio presentation in regards to the year book. March found us dancing the night away with “Twice Shy”. I hope all enjoyed the evening. The Easter Bunny left us some goodies during our dinner. I hope you enjoyed them. The Float building process is well underway under the eagle eye of Noble Allan Bogart. He needs all the help he can get so come on down and lend a hand supporting the Temple and Kosair Charities. The Float Preview event will be held at the Fairgrounds on April 30th. If you don’t have the opportunity to come down and work on the float, maybe you could come out and lend moral support as we show off the talents of our Nobles. We have some of our Nobles and Ladies traveling to various events with their Units. I wish them safe travels and much success in their endeavors The Arch Presentation will take place on April 6th. This has always been a well received and attended event. Thank you to Ill. Sir Kirk Carter, PP for taking on this event again, to Noble Gary Morgan, OG for handling the Masonic Fair and to all that participated, a big “thank you” for making it the success it has always been. Getting the word out takes all of us working together. We will have a stated meeting April 12th. We have a lot of business to discuss and decisions to be made in regards to the future of our Temple. Please make every effort to be present with your fez and dues card for 2013 in hand. Remember, the majority rules so won’t you be part of the majority? The Divan Ladies will host a Luncheon on April 13th honoring the Past First Ladies and Widows of Kosair. I understand that shopping is also on the program. I know they are looking for a large turnout so be sure to make those reservations by calling the office. Get out your best jeans and join us for the Beans ‘n Jeans on April 19th. Music will be provided by Mid-Life Crisis. Of course there will be beans, fried potatoes, country ham, corn bread and all the fixins’ so come out and enjoy the evening. We have begun our Parade schedule and are looking forward to one of the biggest parades of the year – the Pegasus Parade. Yes, it is that time of year once again when our thoughts turn to the Kentucky Derby and all of the events surrounding this major event. We are planning a Derby Party at the Temple for May 4th. Mark it on your calendar and join us for the day. Please be sure to get your Funfest registration forms into the office as soon as possible. We are looking forward to a big turnout for this event. Don’t forget about the Imperial Session; believe me, it will be here before we know it. If you are interested in attending, please contact the office for more information. Just a reminder for the Units and Clubs, the parade for the Imperial Session will be held on Monday, July 1st at 7:00 P.M. I guess that’s it for this article. Please check your pocket calendar, the web site, call the office or ask a Divan member for information on upcoming events. Yours in the Faith of the Shrine, Bob Maxwell Potentate Kosair Kolums Kosair Shrine Circus - SUCCESS Thousands of children of all ages and our Kosair Kids enjoyed the 2013 Kosair Shrine Circus. Hundreds of volunteers worked day after day. The community came together once again to support our efforts. We are truly blessed to have excellent leadership of our circus. Circus chairman J.R. Riggs, chairman emeritus Ted Burgin, and the entire leadership team were outstanding. Thank you, Nobles! And THANK YOU ladies who helped every day! Guy Gray with programs Big Al asked - “Which is the correct gray jacket for our Ceremonial Director’s Staff?” “Do what???” Angie of WHAS TV loved the elephants Very early each morning, our TV team.

This is an event you don’t want to miss. Everyone is invited; Masons, nonMasons, families and friends. All Masonic bodies should be represented at the fair. This will give those bodies a great opportunity to showcase their organization. This will give you an opportunity to communicate with the different Masonic bodies and learn what they have to offer that may be of interest to you. We will also have the famous Kosair Funsters for the youngsters. In addition there will be food (free), drinks (free), face painting, and other activities for the entire family. The afternoon will culminate with the Arch Ceremony Presentation at around 3:00PM. Also taking part will be some of the leaders of the Masonic bodies. The presentation is a symbolic building of an arch and placing of keystones, that gives an overview of who Masons are and some of the other appendant bodies. It goes on the show who Shriners are, what we do, and why we do it. It exemplifies that every Masonic meeting is opened with prayer, with an opened holy book on an altar. This attests to our belief in a Supreme Being. This is a presentation that all Masons, families of Masons, friends of Masons, and anyone who may be interested in Masonry should see. calendar and make plans to be at Kosair Shrine, April 6, 2013, at 1:00PM for a fun filled afternoon of Masonic education.

KOSAIR BOAT CLUB Mike Grant, Commodore Jim Szofer, Vice Commodore Guy Gray, Rear Commodore Henry Watson, Sr. Purser 8 Kosair Kolums Kosair Motor Corps You probably are wondering where I have been for the last couple of months. Well, when you are the secretary for 5 different clubs, it’s hard to keep up during the Christmas holidays. What with all the end of year reports that have to be done. Any way here goes. Hope everyone had a good holiday season. Mine was pretty good. I went to the Kosair Motor Corps unit Christmas party. It was great, we had about 42 nobles counting their wives and girlfriends there. Lots of things to eat and drink. nicely from his hip replacement, also nobles we need prayers for Noble Jim Daugherty who had surgery and noble Don Smith who is going to have surgery. Noble Chuck Burchel won last month’s half and half. and finally some thoughts on my looking for a job: I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn’t live on my net income. I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining. So then I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn’t fit for the job. After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it. My last job was working in Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind. SO, I TRIED RETIREMENT AND FOUND THAT I’M PERFECT FOR THE JOB. in the wind, “The Buggster” Noble Robert Owens Boy it seems that the time is really flying by. Here it is 2013 I have yet to start my trusty hog. But I am sure there is at least one crazy Noble in the unit that has been out riding this year. Oh, I forgot Noble Phil Smallwood is living in Florida and has been riding. Silly me. I would like to congratulate the new potentate Bob Maxwell and the other officers elected to the line. We had our elections in the Motor Corps and was it a hum dinger. Oh I am sure some people were glad and some were mad but oh well life goes on. Unit Director this year is Noble Pat Gilkey; President Charles Gardner, Vice President Roger Dabney and yours truly as Secretary/Treasurer. We also elected a Quartermaster Paul Pffiefer and Sergeant of Arms Shawn Beasley. I wish them well. The unit also has two new members Noble Pat Helton and Noble Glenn Jones, welcome. As of this writing the 2013 Sam Swope Road Rally is a go. It will be held on July the 21st so stay tuned for the evolving details. On the health watch Noble Leo Kirkpatrick seems to be recovering 9 Ladies Oriental Club - Carol Grant Our March speaker was Illustrious Sir, Robert Maxwell, Potentate, of Kosair Shriners, who spoke to us about the “going on’s”, at Kosair Shriners. Things like an Easter Dinner, makes us want Spring right now!! Beans & Jeans night – a rare night to get to come to Kosair Shriners in our Blue Jeans and have beans, hmm….. The Derby party has been revived this year and is always a good time to come and watch the horses run the famous Kentucky Derby, lots of good food that day, too. Flag Day, where we can show our patriotism for our Country, Christmas in July, an opportunity, to bring gifts, for the children at Kosair Hospital , to be given out in what else, but in July at the “Christmas in July” party”. We’re going to have a Pajama Party – wonderful we can come all dressed and ready for bed, a Halloween Party complete with costumes, a Thanksgiving Dinner, with the Ladies of Liberty performing and a Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings. This was an “interesting” evening and as you can see Bob & Marsha have a lot of fun events coming in the months ahead, including the Alaskan Cruise. Keep watch on the Kosair Kolumns for reminders, of our upcoming events. We look forward to a year of fun and hard work making money for the KIDS of Kosair Charities. “Getting to Know You”, that is what we the Ladies Oriental Club want to do, with the ladies of Kosair, please - Roger Hines, Unit Secretary Also, we recently added Wayne Pedigo and Chandler Blewett (who retired from Kosair Charities at the first of the year) as members. We welcome all of these Nobles to the Transportation Unit and also to any other Kosair member who wishes to join.å It was good to see Bruce Clark at our February meeting even though he was sporting a cane. Bruce was our 2012 President and underwent knee surgery in early January but reports he is recovering nicely. The Shrine publishes a magazine called ‘LEADERS IN CARE’. This 10 Judy Henry has a speaker, for April and is waiting for the confirmation, so it will be a surprise, but whoever it is I am sure we will enjoy them. Don’t forget to bring your jewelry for the Masonic Home, since this will be our first collection, of 2013. Just an early reminder, next dessert night for the Ladies Oriental Club will be May 31st. . Enjoy the little things, in life. One day you may look back and realize…. They were the big things ! - Barbara Johnson Kosair Funsters Transportation Unit At our February monthly meeting the Transportation Unit added three Kosair Nobles to its membership. They being Joe Meyers (Year 2006 Past Potentate and member of Preston lodge), Don Gaddie (Member of Highland Park) and Ronnie Taylor (Member of Park City). come out and join us, for dinner, meeting new friends and greeting old friends, as well as listening and learning from our interesting and informative speakers. Dinner is at 6:30 p.m. on the first Monday of each month, excluding July and August. is published quarterly and tells you what happening at our Shrine hospitals. It’s real informative. I picked up a copy at Kosair but I think, if you call the telephone number listed in the magazine (813281-0300), they will send it by mail. As to our trips we had a normal amount in November/December (2012), a very light amount in December/January and then again normal in the January/February time frame. From November 21st through December 18th we made 12 trips and drove 3529 miles for an average of 294 miles per trip. From December 19th through January 15th we made only 2 trips and drove 575 miles. Then our trips picked up again in the January 16th through February 19th time frame as we made 13 trips and drove 4245 miles for an average of 327 miles per trip. Uniil next month, Roger Hines Well! It’s clown time again. Since this past circus, I’m still hearing from different people of how they had a great time at the 2013 circus. Maybe being a little basis, I really think it was the Funsters that did the trick or tricks. All I can say is, wait till 2014, it will be bigger and better then 2013. Just a little hint, our future Potentate is going to be well entertained and well represented for the 2014 circus. But! Say anything to him yet because it’s our little secret. We don’t want to ruin the surprise for him. It will be most rewarding. As of now, some of the Funsters are working for the next years circus skit. It will most be very entertaining and enjoyable for all to see. it will be a little surprise in there for someone special, that’s all I can say. cont. on pg.11 Kosair Kolums cont. from pg.10 Let’s get down to some clown business now. there are many functions going on that we need all available Funsters, that we can rustle up to help pull off all the requests that will be coming our way. The more Funsters that we have, the less it is for all of us. The Saint Paddy’s day parade was a huge success for all to see. The Kosair Temple along with our friends from Glasgow had a great time for all to see. The weather was nice, the brotherhood was a total success. If we could have all of the other parades represented like Saint Paddy’s parade, it will be a wonderful and delightful year for all. The weather co-operated beautifully. We have many events for the Funsters to attend, to make them happen, please step forwarded and show your support. Just let some of you folks know, the Funsters are one of the most visible units from the Kosair Temple to see. We go North, South, East and West, and any other directions that we to be or go. It’s unbelievable on how many requests we get to come to this or that event for the all the kids to see. Regardless of age, we make everyone laugh from our tricks of our trade. I can’t say enough, about the Funsters that got up every morning for the TV appearances and stayed for all ten shows. That just goes to show you, we are a dedicated unit to bring the laughs and smiles to one and all. My hat goes out, to all of you for the great effort that you made for the circus and other events that you attended. We take a lot of time, away from our families to insure that the kids at the hospitals, parades, and other events to make these children smile and forget about their pain and suffering, even if, it’s only for a few minutes. The members of the Funsters, do this for one reason, to make the kids smile as well as their family members. We travel a many of miles to do this. By! The time we start putting on our makeup, travel to our destination, perform and return home, we travel many miles. We don’t get paid for this, but the smiles are payment enough. So! If there are any new nobles out there, that maybe would like to join our unit feel free to come to one of our meetings and see what we are all about. if you are worried about makeup, tricks are anything like that, don’t be, we will assist you in putting on make-up and dressing. We meet the third Monday of every month in the basement at 7:30PM right after the Unit Director’s meeting. Well! I’m going to let you go for now, and I hope to see you at a parade or an event. I hope to see you at Kerbela funfest in Pigeon Forge. If you have not attended one before, you really don’t know what you are missing. You can find the applications in the Kosair Temple’s office. If you make anything, try to make this one, you won’t regret or forget it. It’s the second weekend in May. The dates are from May 8th through May11th. Hope to see you there.

Thanks to all of the Nobles who represented Kosair Shrine in fine fashion. And now a sad note: our Brother and fellow Bandsman Jerry Ashby lost his brother, Jim, who had been ill for some time. Let’s pray for Bro. Jerry, his Lady Lana, and their family during the next few weeks as they recover from this loss. Time to remind every new Noble to come and join our merry crew.... Mondays at 8 PM! We’ll be lookin’ for ‘ya !!! The Oriental Band participated in the Arch Presentation again this year, and thanks to all the Bandsmen who were there. Ill.Sir Kirk Carter expressed his thanks to all who helped to make this year’s Fair and Arch Presentaion a success. I hope that all the Bandsmen that traveled to Lexington for the 2013 SESOBA Hoedown enjoyed themselves. Thanks to Bro. Jack Diehl for his dedication to putting together our musical program, and Congratulations to Bro. Joe Graves for advancing on the SESOBA line. We thank our Potentate Bob Maxwell and his Lady Marsha for visiting with us during the Hoedown. We can’t let up, Bandsmen, now that the Hoedown is over. Practice continues for our planned trip to the Imperial Convention in July in Indianapolis. We really need everyone to practice in order to get the music program polished. And 13 Top Hat Gun Club Greetings fellow marksmen of the Kosair Top Hat Gun Club. This being our first kolums article (I think) we will have to work out the bugs and see what works. First off we would like to thank all the outgoing 2012 officers of the club for their tireless efforts to ensure that we had a great year of shooting. Your new officers for 2013 are Director Bernie Schwierman (who is also 2nd vice president, because he loves the gun club) President Bob Gardner, Vice President Richard Weiss, Secretary Robert Owens, and Treasurer Pat Miller. And I would be remiss if didn’t mention our unofficial shutter bug, Randy Coe, who has been taking pictures of the Gun Club for the Kolums. We hope we can live up to the standard that was set by the 2012 officers. Gardner, Limited - Phil Myers, Limited 10 Randy Coe, Single Stack – Pizza Schlise, Rim Fire – Pizza Schlise, and Center Fire – Pizza Schlise. These gentlemen were the best of the best of the 2012 Top Hat Gun Club. Now I don’t know about you but I sure would like to best some of these shooters in 2013. hopefully we OK moving right along, the will get the chance. awards for the 2012 USPSA Final were presented at our Now I don’t have to tell you that last meeting and the winners right now because of our knee jerk are as follows: Production – Bob politicians our sport is enduring some rough times. The most severe being the severe shortage of ammunition and the high price when you find it. It is my hope that this quickly subsides so we as a club can enjoy the sport of target shooting for years to come. OK off the soap box, on a sad note the gun club lost a member this last month, it was Noble Jim Daughtery. Remember his family in your prayers. On an administrative note your 2013 dues of $20 are due and payable. Over the next month we well be updating the roster to see who is in and who is out and contacting members to bring them up to speed on what’s going on with the club. Our next meeting will be on April the 29th, be sure to try to make it out and bring a few coins as we may have something you might be interested in. (does that peek your interest?).
