R ISE A N D GR IN D [email protected] | 605.376.0127 From the POTE Illustrious Sir Thomas Anderson WOW!! May was a busy month for everyone. May 7 we had our Spring Ceremonial dedicated to Bill Anderson. It was a great day ushering in 30 new Nobles! 1st Ceremonial Master, Les Kruse, did an excellent job putting it all together. Food by the Culinary unit was great, as well as the sounds of the swing band. A big THANK YOU to all the units for supporting the hospital, transportation and the building funds. You make all the difference. Hospital Days trip: Job well done 2nd Ceremonial Master Jim Slater. Jim filled two busses with 96 people! It was a great time touring the hospital, kids fish the pond, face painting by P.P. lady Denise Colbert and Lady Jane, not to mention the unforgettable sound of our own Hillbilly Band “The Back Forty Boys”.

This year’s Top Dog competition was won by Lee Lewis, with second place going to Monte Derouseau, third place going to Chris Morrison, and fourth place going to Joe Alick. Looks like the old timers are going to have to watch out as the new guys are taking the field. The Oriental Band made a strong showing at the El Riad Spring Ceremonial as we impressed the crowd with our ability to march, sing, and not fall down though granted not all at the same time. Practice has begun in earnest for the ASOB Midwest Shrine competition to be held at the 2015 MSA session in Marquette WI, from August 3–6. While it is unclear at this time if we will have competition at this year’s MSA session the Oriental Band will still be going in force to show our colors and hopefully encourage the formation or revitalization of other Oriental Bands in the MSA. Due to the length of the trip we will be leaving on Tuesday, August 2 and returning on Sunday August 8. There are planned stops and activities along the way to break up the monotony of the long bus ride. If you are interested in finding out more about the planned festivities, you should come on down to a regular Thursday meeting and practice. As of this writing the Otis Open Golf Tournament will be held on Thursday May 26, at the Bridges Golf Course in Beresford, SD. The proceeds of the tournament will go to benefit the Ladder of Smiles which is the ASOB program for supporting the Shrine Hospitals. Parade Season is upon us so mark your calendars and make arrangements with your boss at home (and your boss at work) to attend the following parades: The Potentates Parade in Hills, MN on June 10; the Czech Days parade in Tabor, SD on June 17; The Booster Days parade in Valley Springs, SD on July 9; and the D-Days parade in Vermillion, SD on October 8. The Oriental Band will also be hosting weddings at the Shrine on June 24 and on August 13. “When people try to rain on your parade...pee on theirs.” Respectfully Submitted Lee A. Lewis, Scribe El Riad Outhouse Unit #1 and Back Forty Boys The Hillbilly Reunion Reunion (installation of new members to the Clan) was held at Don Jensen’s farm. We anticipate between 15 to 20 new “brothers” assuming they passed the rigorous testing placed before them. And the feast provided by our fellow Hillbillies from Mitchell is something to look forward to as well. The Back Forty Boys were asked to perform and be a part of the Make-A-Wish event on Saturday, May 14. Although not a Shrine sponsored event, we received the okay from Pote Tom to be there and thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the activities. Later into the month of May (Saturday, May 21) we had Hospital Days at the Twin Cities Shrine Hospital. All Nobles / family members were encouraged to be there to see what Shrinedom is all about. The Back Forty Boys (B40B) were there (thankfully we were all up and at the Shrine at 5:00 a.m. to catch the bus. Participation from our newly installed Nobles (Spring Ceremonial – May 7th) was strongly encouraged. Looking into the future, the Outhouse Unit has parades to attend and there has even been talk of Outhouse Races. The summer agenda for the B40B: • Corn Palace / Mitchell, SD – June 23 • Union County Fair / Alcester – July 30 • Sioux Empire Fair / Sioux Falls – August 13 & 14 • Turner County Fair / Parker – August 18 Please consider membership into the Outhouse Unit or any other unit for that matter.

We have had some bad weather for some of our trips but thanks to our drivers, the trips have been safe and successful. Our patients and families are very grateful for our service given by our Nobles and their gratefulness is expressed and that is received with appreciation. We had six trips in March. One overnight trip was driven by Jon Haverly and Freddie Contreras. One day trips were driven by John Pudwill and Dana Schmidt, Jon Hoecherl and John Pudwill. One trip the parents drove in themselves as we had no drivers. Trips to Omaha drivers were Howard Greer and Ken Steele, Ron Goergen and Dustin Johnson. For April we had three trips. Overnight trip drivers were Dustin Johnson and Ethan Jones. Omaha trip drivers were Doug Kristensen and Bruce Jorgensen, Bruce Jorgensen and Doug Kristensen. Two trips one day after the other. Thank you so much. Thank you to all our drivers. We have six trips scheduled for May and the drivors are signed up for five of them. By the time you read this we will have had our spring meeting and breakfast on May 11. John Pudwill Jr., President El Riad Blast & Cast Ceremonial was May 7 and the Blast and Cast unit has raised money for the new x-ray machine for the twin cities hospital by raffling off a custom made AR-15 donated by Roger Mcquisten of SodakTac. We were able to sell almost 800 tickets and all the money was donated at the ceremonial. Thank you to all members selling tickets especially Josh Jurgens, Jeff Landborg and Rolland Stolsmark for setting up the raffle and following through to completion. Our blast and cast sponsored concealed and carry gun class will be taking a break for the summer and classes will resume in the fall. Coming up for the unit will be our annual fishing trip with dates to be determined. Also thank you to all our members who worked at the circus selling hot dogs, ushering, and helping out other units.

Keeping it falsetto Rocky Hayes EL RIAD SHRINE • SIOUX FALLS • SOUTH DAKOTA 11 El Riad Ritualistic Unit 34 Nobels were created as El Riad Shriners at the Spring Ceremonial conducted on Saturday May 7, 2016. We had four new actors on stage in new parts for this performance. A couple of tech glitches occurred, and a few lines were twisted and a couple of words dropped. Only those among the cast really knew the glitches happened. It is a matter of performance pride. Nevertheless, our performance was a solid “B.” Our newly created Shriners seemed impressed with the show. We missed our long-time time unit member, PP Del Kroon, in his role as Muezzin, as he is recovering from a serious illness. He and his Lady, Marlys, are in our thoughts and prayers. New Director Richard Hagler, set a new sartorial standard for Ritualistic Directors, wearing a formal black tuxedo, with patent leather shoes! The unit has procured new backdrop curtains for the areas behind the illusion and the Alchemist’s tent. The mechanical challenge is to figure out a deployment and retraction mechanism. Our illusion, is a source of wonderment to all who see it. If you have not seen it recently, please attend the Fall Ceremonial. That ceremonial, according to Ill. Sir Tom Anderson, will be open to wives, family and significant others. This is the first time that has occurred since 1999. The Inspired Charge, played by Joe Brown gave the best performance of that part I have ever seen. That is a reiteration of my last several reports. Joe picked it up another notch and outdid himself. Emerging from the tomb to music entitled Song of the Desert by Ernst Reijseger & Mola Syla, an exotic contemporary cello piece. Noble Brown weaves a familiar tale about equality among people of all faiths. We are extremely fortunate to have three professional stage, lighting and sound unit members: Garret Hansen, Bruce Crawford, and Scott Denney. Very few Shrine Temples have live music as we do, with the El Riad Chanters and the El Riad Band. Our ceremonial would not be the same without these units. Yours in Faith George Hahn, Secretary El Riad Ski Unit El Riad Ski Unit had another great trip to Deadwood and Terry Peak in March. We had a great mix of people, spouses, and friends all making for a interesting and enjoyable weekend! The weather was warm so we had spring ski conditions with 60 degree days and plenty of sunshine. We had fun on and off the slopes. On the slopes, snow conditions were great, off the slopes we had the oasis room at the Hickok Best Western in Deadwood with cool beverages and plenty of food. Everyone who attended was able to relax, ski, sitesee, and play a few games of chance. The big winners were the Brothers Maxwell, with Paul and Scott shooting craps and Freddie Contreras on the one arm bandit. We make this trip every year and will make sure to let others know about trip next year all are welcome. El Riad Ski Unit is a social unit and we meet from October through March. We also will be planning a summer get together. If you would like to know more or be a member of El Riad Ski Unit contact Tony Bachman at 201-5998. Spread the joy!

Are you a Cactus Supporter? 13 El Riad Fife & Drum I am a little tardy in happily reporting our latest little Fifer in Kyler Joseph Lipp. Kyler clocked in at 7.6 lbs and 20.5" in length on March 29. Noble Jordan and beautiful new mother Teresa could not be more proud. So happy for these guys!!! However, I am timely in reporting a huge congratulations to the Fife & Drum contingent that dispensed and dispersed pop on the upper west and east sides during the circus. Selling pop is a physically demanding activity and I feel our conditioning really pays off during circus time. Some of us are older with a protruding middle area, yet we power through each session. Thank goodness for the enthusiasm we generate at the Legion and a big THANK YOU for all the members that helped at the circus!! I am happy to report our Spring Ceremonial contribution totaled $8,000. This is an impressive figure by any measure for an El Riad group and I can tell you each Fife & Drum member is proud to be a part of this amount. We work hard to give back to our beloved philanthropy. Also, I am happy to report our upcoming parade and social season is on full trajectory. We kick off the year with our most important appearance, that being the Memorial Day service at the VA Hospital. I cannot share enough how meaningful it is to honor our veterans. This is an all hands on deck event and we always have a solid turnout. We then press on to the Buffalo Days Parade in Luverne followed by a family pizza party. Nothing like a short parade route, then some pizza, beverages, and time with our families. With all the human regeneration our group has been doing lately, we sure have plenty of kids around and that is great to see. The following weekend is the Pote's Parade followed by a group rush party at John and Sherry Archer's. Nobody can close a new member deal like John and when he's on his home turf, he is especially impressive. Our big trip this year will be to our Okoboji ballyhoo hosted by Dave and Barb Daily. This is such fun and boating around to the different bars and playing makes us feel like rock stars. We segue from that to Mike and Lorna Fitzgerald's for their annual garden party on July 23. We crescendo our summer season with our annual pool party at Darwin and Bev Gunderson's on August 13. This is a legendary event and I argue one of the top five social scenes in the greater Sioux Falls area. As you can see, the Fife & Drum are set for great fun and very proud to represent the Nobles of El Riad in all we do! Respectfully submitted, Bruce Norton El Riad Sprint Cars Hard to believe the circus is already behind us. Once again the Sprint Cars ran the cotton candy and snow cone booth on the upper east side. The Sprint Car members and their ladies stepped up and manned that booth for nine shows, “thank you” to all that helped. It really does take a team effort to cover all the aspects of the circus and Reid Jensen and Larry Miller did a wonderful job as chairman and co-chair of the circus. The following week we brought the cars out of hibernation for the Loyalty Day Parade in Brandon. Prior to the parade we met at Todd and Stacie Long’s house for Tony’s chicken and fixens, note to the unit, we do not need 120 pieces of chicken. We ran through the parade and simply amazed the crowd with our car handling abilities. We then headed back to the trailers but not before stopping back at the Longs to pick up a 14 bag of chicken to bring home. Side note, this parade was also the test for the new motors we will be putting in the cars. Mark Richard ran with one of the new motors and everything seemed to go as planned, so now we can start installing them into the other cars. This will keep us busy, but at least it will give us more time to give Corey Terwee some sh… (by the way did you see how sexy he was in those white coveralls? A regular David Hasselhoff). Like everyone else, I’m sure, the Sprint Cars will be busy in the upcoming months making appearances at the local parades. You will find us at Luverne, MN and Hills, MN the first two weeks of June for sure and I am unable to go out any farther than that because the rest of our schedule has not been set. Until next time.

The $100 Million Dollar Club is a way for Shriners and non-Shriners alike to provide a gift of hope for a child in need. It’s an excellent opportunity to personally participate in the “World’s Greatest Philanthropy” – Shriners Hospitals for Children. The Shriners operate 22 hospitals in North America dedicated to treating children with orthopaedic problems and burn injuries. There are 18 orthopaedic hospitals, three burn hospitals and one Shriners Hospital that provides orthopaedic, burn care and spinal cord injury care. All care and services provided by Shriners Hospitals are totally without cost to the patient or family. Since the founding of Shriners Hospitals in 1922, about $5.5 billion has been spent to provide quality and compassionate medical care to more than 675,000 children with orthopaedic problems, severe burn injuries or spinal cord injuries. Most of these services are paid for by the Shriners Hospitals for Children endowment fund. Without this fund, Shriners Hospitals would not be able to ensure optimum and compassionate patient care. In order to meet the needs of thousands of children in need of the expert care Shriners Hospitals provide, the endowment fund must continue to grow during these times of increasing cost of medical care. Since approximately 95 percent of the annual Shriners Hospitals for Children operating budget will be spent in direct support of the 22 hospitals, your gift to its endowment fund is a gift to one of the world’s “purest” philanthropies.

It’s hard to believe that we are already halfway through the year. The Motor Corps had the pleasure of hosting the bar for the month of May. Thank you all that came out to help bartend and serve food, plus a special thank you to Steve Haase and Chuck Ihlen for organizing our menus for the month. Steve also showed off his grilling skills by cooking some great hamburgers and chicken. Jim Slater and Steve also need a shout out for thinking outside the box and brining something new to our repertoire with My Place Café, the first ever food truck at El Riad. Then a big shout out to our “Fry Masters” who once again out did themselves by slaving away over the deep fryers, frying the fish and making shoestring potatoes for our annual fish fry. 40 We also need to thank Bruce Bigler of the culinary unit for bringing out their official fryers and helping us with this great event. This makes things go a lot smoother and easier for us allowing you to have the best fish and fries possible. If you missed out on our annual fish fry you need to mark you calendar for the last Wednesday in May as this is a spread you do not want to miss. This is the time of the year as we dust off our bikes and cobwebs getting ready for parade season and competition. If you want to see us strut our stuff on the streets, and put on a good show for the crowd, ask any Motor Corps member where we will be parading and come check us out!

Approximately 70 people are registered to attend a special prom event scheduled for May 28 at the AmericInn in Chamberlain. "In the past, a lot of them didn't have the opportunity to go to a prom, so a lot of them I've talked to are excited to go," event organizer Jessica Meagher said. "It just gives them something special to do." There will be a dinner provided, a dance, a photo booth and a grand march, all things Meagher wanted to incorporate to create an authentic experience for attendees. The ballroom at the hotel will be decorated in a "Hollywood Nights" theme. The idea, Meagher said, is a spinoff of a similar event put on by the Shriners Hospitals for Children — Twin Cities in Minneapolis. Meagher's daughter, Morgan, was formerly a patient at the hospital, where a prom event was held for the patients. In past years, Meagher and her boyfriend, Dennis Reed, sponsored a fishing tournament in Chamberlain, with the funds raised being donated to help put on the prom in Minneapolis. But, this year, Meagher put the money toward creating the same opportunity for people in South Dakota. "The community has been really supportive in our fundraising, and people have stepped up to help," Meagher said. People of any age with a developmental disability are invited and encouraged to attend, and nobody will be turned away, Meagher said. In fact, she said there are children as young as 10 years old planning to attend, as well as adults well into their 70s, and plenty in between. With such a wide age gap comes one problem, Meagher said, and that is finding music everyone will enjoy. So, while attendees are searching for dresses, tuxes and corsages leading up to the prom, they are also choosing and submitting their favorite tunes to be played throughout the night. That, in turn, gives everybody at least a sampling of what they want to hear, Meagher said. "There's certainly a wide variety," Meagher said. "It's something really unique." Highlighting that she hasn't heard of any similar events in the region, Meagher said the event is a special opportunity for people with special needs, or who need special accommodations, to experience a prom, whether that be for the first time or not. If all goes well in May, she hopes to make it an annual event. Anyone interested in attending the event should call Meagher at (605) 234-4007. 41 Recorder’s Minutes EL RIAD SHRINE MONTHLY STATED MEETING April 13, 2016 EL RIAD TEMPLE – SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA The meeting was opened by Chief Rabban Jim Burma Jr. at 7:00 p.m. Chaplin George Hamilton gave the invocation.
