We have spent every weekend doing installations or enjoying unit presentations. We have bussed our way to NEMO and spent the entire weekend with Cape Shrine Club, SEMO and Three Rivers. What a great time visiting with fellow nobles and their ladies as they work for this wonderful philanthropy. Can you guess what time it is??? IT’S CIRCUS TIME!!!!!! We need everyone to concentrate on the circus. Sell those tickets and ads. Ask your favorite restaurant to buy an ad. Remember the circus is our biggest fundraiser and we need for you to make it a success. We are only two months away from the BEST show we’ve in years. I hear there are going to be performing pigs! So we need to think CIRCUS, CIRCUS, CIRCUS. You should start seeing the billboards and television ads in the coming weeks. Thank you to all the Moolah family for your tremendous support for this great event. We have changed the incentive this year. In years past you got a hat for selling 2 books of tickets ($300), you got a hat and shirt for selling 5 books ($750) and a hat, shirt and jacket for selling 10 books ($1500). Well this year as long as you hit the DOLLAR AMOUNTS, whether ads and tickets or banners, you will get the items listed above. So SELL those tickets, ads and banners. The Circus Parade is moving back to St Charles on March 5th. The Circus Kick-off will be the same day following the parade back at the Temple. Come out and enjoy the parade and then the games and food back at the Temple. The Potentate’s Presentation Ball will be on February 27th. Lady Sandy and I would love for you to join us for this Magical Event. Dress will be Black Tie/Dark Suit or your favorite Disney Prince or Princess. Please make your reservations today for this wonderful event. April 23rd will be the Spring Ceremonial. Also on this day, in the evening after the ceremonial, we will be celebrating the 130th Anniversary of Moolah Temple. This will be a free event. So come out to the ceremonial with your candidate and stay for the celebration. Thank you for all you do. Remember Why, Illustrious Sir Lenny Martin 3 Chaplain’s Corner By: Karl Erselius The “Love Month” Love, to be sure, is a very strong emotion, but that’s not all by a long shot. There are various types of love. There is the physical or romantic type of love, the brotherly type of love, and most importantly, the Godly love and/or Love of God. Eros, the son of Aphrodite in Greek mythology, denotes the romantic or physical type of love; love for our spouse or sweetheart. The English word, erotic, is derived from this, referring even, to a sexual type of love. Cupid, the son of Venus in Roman mythology, is the counterpart to Eros, and denotes the same. We all know February is known as the “month of love”, because of Valentine’s Day on the 14th! The gift of flowers, candy, candlelight dinners for two, romance, etc., are important moments in our lives and loved ones and ones I hope we continue to share with that special person. Phileo is a Greek word used to describe brotherly love. Brotherly love is a type of love, we as Shrine Masons certainly are well aware of. We have heard it stressed throughout our Masonic education and journey. We are reminded, “How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity!” … (Psalm 133). Throughout our teachings, we are reminded of what our relationship to all mankind, especially our brothers, should be. As long ago as my days in DeMolay, I recall the Preceptor station of “Fidelity” and its “call to Brotherly Love.” We can never be reminded of this virtue enough, especially in the world in which we live today. When it comes to words of God’s love and/or Love of God, what better place to turn, than to Scripture, that Great Light of Freemasonry. For there, from cover to cover, we find not only how much God loves us, but how much we should love God. In the Old Testament, we find these Hebrew words to describe Godly Love. Aheb is a verb denoting divine and human love. Hesed, a noun which is used to describe not only the powerful emotion of love, but also faithfulness and mercy. In the New Testament we hear of Agape love, denoting an unconditional love, a love with “no strings attached”. God loves us “in spite of ourselves”. But what of our love for God? It is not “suggested” but rather “commanded”. Both in Deut. 6:4-5 and Matt. 22:37-40, God says, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your might. . .” As we celebrate this “month of love”, let us enjoy that love which Valentine’s Day brings. But, let us also remember those brothers, family and friends who call on our “Phileo” type of love. Most of all, let us give thanks for God’s love given to us and show our love for God and strive to make all these types of love a year-round experience. 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. December Henry L. Crews Richard G. Irwin Henry B. Livingston James C.

E xciting ! 7 A Message from our Membership Liasion Shaun Ruether Nobles, Membership should be one of our main focuses, this year and every year. In 2015, Illustrious Sir David Dieckhaus asked DJ Hermen and I to Co-chair the Membership Team. We didn’t think much of it and said yes, not really knowing what we were getting into. Membership is an overwhelming task and every noble in this temple is on the Membership Team and should play an active role in it. We look for all of you to bring in new nobles. In the beginning of 2015, we challenged the Shrine Clubs to a contest to see which can bring in the most new nobles in 2015 and they showed up in a huge way! There was a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place award given to these Shrine Clubs. 1st place went to Three Rivers Shrine Club, who brought in 23 new nobles. 2nd place went to Tiger Shrine Club, who brought in 11 new nobles. 3rd Place went to ECMO Shrine Club, who brought in 10 new nobles. Congratulations, thank you and keep up the great work! We look forward to the same. Last year, as a whole, Moolah initiated 80 nobles into the Mystic Shrine. The Shrine Clubs who participated reported a total of 54 new nobles. Isn’t that a great feat? That being said, that means the total number of new nobles that came through the Moolah Shrine Temple added up to be 26 creations. Do not misconstrue our appreciation for the first and second line signers of these 26 new nobles as a negative. We just need to pick up our game here at the temple. The Membership Team is planning some membership drives not only for potential candidates, but also to use as a retaining tool. The Membership Team will be keeping you informed of events and all things membership. Please take an active role in bringing in new members, talk to your brother Masons and tell them this is available to them because they are Master Masons. Talk to you friends and family. No need to ask them to join. Talk about all the fun we have and the great things we do for our Hospitals and that should be enough to get them to ask you how they can be a Shriner too. Get involved for membership’s sake. Thank you, Shaun Ruether 8 2016 Shrine Circus Update Circus Director - Ron Reynolds 314-732-2121 Circus Chairman - Dean Isbell 314-406-1410 The Circus is getting very close. PLEASE be sure to do everything possible to promote this year’s circus. Do not wait until the last minute. Now is the time to sell tickets, sell advertising, distribute kids tickets and tell everyone about the circus. The 2016 Moolah Shrine circus will be held at the Family Arena in St. Charles. Mark your calendars for March 17th through the 20th. We will be having the same number of performances as last year. We will have our Circus parade in Old town St. Charles on Saturday, March 5th at Noon. After the parade we will return to Moolah for the Circus kick-off. On Saturday, March 12th we will participate in the Cottleville parade to get exposure for our circus. All Shriners are asked to join in the fun for all these events. The kids free coupon tickets are also available. Pick some up and distribute in your area. The Circus Committee is working hard and meeting on the second Wednesday of each month from September to March in the Guides unit room. Any and all volunteers are welcome to join us. There is always plenty to do. Arrive at 5:30 PM for a light dinner and the meeting begins at 6:00 PM. Please RSVP so we know how much food to prepare. 314-732-2121 or [email protected]. Our goal is to continue to make our circus the best ever and to keep the seats full.

An exciting year is planned so make sure the seatbelt is latched and tightened up. Consider yourself briefed. Officers for 2016 are Byron F. Smyrniotis President, Eric McVicar 1st VP, Bill Stears 2nd VP, Chris Grau Secretary, Richard Prine Treasurer. Co-Chairman: Dennis Kelley P 314-324-6456 [email protected] Co-Chairman: David Dieckhaus PP 314-223-8194 [email protected] Reservations: Don Wander 314-426-2582 [email protected] Secretary: Ted Schamburg 314-638-3633 [email protected] At our December meeting our Chairman John Hewitt was recognized by the potentate of Moolah Shrine for his hard work and true dedication. John received an " Ambassador Emeritus" award for his outstanding leadership of this unit for the past 13 years. John has decided to retire from this job and will certainly be missed as our leader, however now he can just come and enjoy himself at our meetings and leave the headaches to someone else. Congratulations John and Juanita for a great job well done. Director: Dave Evans President: Keith Schilb 1st Vice President: Greg Martin Secretary: Jim Gesell Treasurer: Tom Nelson We will soon begin our 2016 Gun Raffle, this time featuring His and Hers pocket pistols. These .380 caliber pistols will be the perfect guns for self-defense, so look for one of the members of the American Muscle Car Unit for more information and tickets for a chance to win! Please remember our members that are unable to make it to the meetings, give them a call, send a card or even make plans to visit. Lots of incredible history staring you in the face or just an ear-shot away. If you are wondering who will be stepping up to try to fill these "Big Shoes" you will have to wonder no more. Illustrious Sir Dennis Kelley and Illustrious Sir David Dieckhaus have agreed to co-chair this position. So now you know, it takes (2) past potentates to even attempt to do this job as well as John. Please show your support and help these guys out when asked. Gary Larrabee is also retiring from the position of treasurer of the Ambassadors and will also be surely missed in this position. Thank you Gary for all your years of dedication and hard work keeping us fiscally sound. Now you can just come and hang out with the gang and enjoy yourself. Noble Don Wonder has stepped up and will be our new treasurer. Thank You Don! Gone West... Nobel Fred Nipper passed away at the ripe age of 97 years young. Fred had quite the aviation history. I had many great conversations with Fred and he will be missed by many. Going forward there will be some change to the Ambassador leadership, but the mission of the Ambassadors, dedication to the Moolah Shrine and assistance to the 2016 Potentate Lenny Martin, will remain the same. Dues for 2016 are due so please send your payment to our Secretary, Noble Chris Grau. Better yet, come on up to the Hangar and attend a meeting as well as catch up with some old friends. Maybe even make a few new ones. Hope to see you. The Ambassador lunches are held on the 2nd Friday of the month.

All of our officers were elected to a second year of service in the positions they held in 2015. We plan on continuing to participate in numerous parades this year, driving our American-made muscle cars as well as both of the Unit's Flying Carpet vehicles with their new, high-powered engines. The Unit plans on producing several more Flying Carpets this year, but this time on larger, zero-turn mowers! We are also gearing up for the 2016 Moolah Shrine Circus where we will assist the Swing Dance Unit with novelties for the third year in a row. We look forward to working with all the great people at the Circus! 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 the Unit's 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.

Known as “The Marching 48”, our unit marches in parades, at Shrine functions and we also compete nationally against other Shrine marching units. This year, our theme is “Back to 48” as we seek to encourage new candidates to learn more about our rich tradition and join us in our ranks.” It’s Circus time!! A prime time for the Patrol to shine. Bring it on!! I’m just sayin’. Yeah baby!! We are excited to announce the relaunch of the www.arabpatrol.webs.com website on Feb. 1st 2016! Special thanks to Sean Cavanagh for his efforts. Band Unit Director: Jack Scherrer 314.725.3764 Pres./Sect./Treas.: Roger Fagerberg 314.878.7646 Conductor/1st VP: Chuck McKenzie 636.235.8085 Conductor Emeritus: Roger Fagerberg 2nd Vice Pres: Barry Hyatt 314.469.0605 By: Chuck McKenzie, [email protected] Hello, from your Moolah Band: Happy New Year to all our Nobles. We hope your year will be as great and exciting as the Band anticipates. We ended 2015 on a high note with the programs for the Hospital kids and Brunch with Santa, and are now preparing for the upcoming concert season. New music and, hopefully new members, should make for a wonderful time for us all. The Audiences love the music and show it with their applause and the comments we receive after each performance. We will be reintroducing a “Military Salute” at our concerts to salute our veterans. I now ask that any Nobles who have musical experience join us to make the Band into what it was in the past. I don’t know that we can have a band of 100+ members as was the case in the 1950’s, but we can certainly increase our membership so that the Band can once again play for the monthly meetings and Ceremonials. 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 great appearance when we celebrate our Centennial Anniversary in 2019. Join us 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! Also, remember we are also 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. Our concerts are Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 7:00. We would love to have you participate with us. We always leave ‘em smiling! Chanters Director: Jerry Lee Gaddy President: David A. Judd Treasurer: William Bradford Secretary: John Glass By: Monte Safron 636-458-8951 314-706-0230 314-974-3084 314-631-4463 Hello, hello, hello to all within sight of this article. We of the Chanters have been very busy the first weeks of 2016 getting ready to serve Moolah in the best way we know how...practicing for any coming events that bring the joy of song any place Moolah needs us. With the myriad of installations last month and the couple that are happening this month, it should be that all units are adequately staffed and ready to do their Shrine business. We of the Chanters are poised and ready to serve the musical needs of any group or individual in need of the joy of music. One thing that’s a must to attend, is the 2016 Potentate’s Ball on February 27th. This jubilant affair hosts the royalty of Moolah, as well those of our ranks, to joyfully pay honor to our new Potentate, His Illustrious Sir Lenny Martin and his beautiful First Lady Sandy. All Shriners attending the Potentate’s Ball will be handsomely attired with their black tie or dark suit unless they want to join the gala affair costumed as their favorite Disney Prince or Princess. The costumed Shriners will be in keeping with the Potentates’ June 12th thru June 18th trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Their suave gentleman or Disney Prince will escort those beautifully attired Ladies or the handsomely attired Princesses. It will be an affair everyone will want to attend. Try to be there ...Let’s fill some tables with Chanters! Save that date. We sincerely appreciate all that is done for our kids. If more can be done, we can and will do it. We are the Chanters El Koran! All who have heard us know how much a song can help and entertain those alone, ill and aging. Just give us a call. God bless. 15 UNIT & COMMITTEE REPORTS Clowns Director: Mike Howard (Howiee) President: Terry Aaron (Chopper) 1st Vice President: Mike Stevens (Mibo) 2nd Vice President: Paul Goggins (Gametime) Treasurer: John Tremblay ( Shabba-Dabba) The clowns would like to congratulate Jack Melton (Jitterbug) and John McDougal (Dougal) for being appointed as Ambassadors of Moolah Temple. This is a great honor for both of them and our unit. Jitterbug works as hard as anyone at the Temple being involved with the Divan, Swing Dance Unit and a hard working clown. Dougal is very, uh, very, its better that you fill in the rest. I'm at a loss for words about him. The Trivia Nite went great with the Divan winning the overall score and unit trophy. This was not rigged as far as I know. There is an investigation in progess as of this mailing. The Guinness Book of World Records has verified the record of the most Wiggle Sticks going at an event. If you haven't seen the photos that Doodles (Ron Kassebaum) took from the stage please ask to see them. He did a great job with the camera and is now our new unit photographer. I bet he doesn't even know that he received that appointment. A big thanks goes out to the Ukaholics for receiving a $100 donation during their performance.There is actually more to this story but we will have to tell you how it happened and this probably will be one of the stories we all will tell for a long time. Skit practice and upcoming events will keep us busy for the next couple of months. The culmanation of all this will be the Circus. This is the best time of year for the clown unit. More guys come out of the woodwork to participate and make this more fun for all of us. Sell those tickets. In case you missed it during the Super Bowl, our own Merlin (Tom Dolan) was the guy who's arm, the eagle in the pre-game cerimony, landed on. You have to be brave to have those talons digging into your arm. Great job at least it didn't poop on you. The definition of a New Years Resolution -- Its a to do list for the first week of January. 16 Computer Club Director: Bob Holscher President: Ray White Vice President: Dale Nagel 636-240-8552 314-567-0455 636-489-8765 Who?

Dinner at 6:00 with meeting to follow, see you at the meeting and don’t forget to bring your fez. The Tiger Shrine club meets at 2315 N Stadium Blvd, Columbia, MO 65202. President Scott has hit the ground running and several projects are on the agenda in the near future that need your support and your involvement. Can’t wait to see the turnout for this years river run and the fun that will go along with it. Greg Dortch is going to have to tell Kathy to stop encouraging and taking our members to the cottage and consuming adult beverages for several hours, then getting them in trouble at home. Papa Dortch has now retired from the railroad and is looking for additional “chores and tasks” to accomplish as he doesn’t have anything to do. Potentate Presentation Ball is February 27th and the Moolah Shrine Circus is March 17th-20th. Remember your Blue Lodges and that possible candidate for the Shrine. Wear your Fez with pride and always say your prayers. 21 Nailah Court #107 High Priestess: Mary Haupt Princess: Paulette Wallis 636.359.8692 314.395.3102 Love is in the air!

We need help parking cars at the Family Arena during the Shrine Circus, March 17-20th. It takes over 20 people to handle each performance, so please consider taking a shift or two. It’s easy work, directing cars and collecting parking fees. Contact Tom Cupples at drtomcupples@gmail. com (636-685-5555) if you help out or sign up at http://www.noble684.com As our current Grand High Priestess motto states, “It is the light within that makes a smile glow.” Join Nailah today and share your beautiful smile with the children of Shriner’s Hospital. 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. In service, Mary Haupt, HP 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. 22 Temple Club The Bake Sale goodies were coming in, the appetizers, as well as Rich and Gale our wine servers, were ready and Honorary Installer Jeanne were all prepared and waiting for Toni. Best prepared were three of the Chanters who set the mood for us with several of their contest songs. For sure, they are all winners. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Our President Toni gave an inspiring prayer and invited us to enjoy the appetizers. Preceding, Chris and Toni made their introductions. F Y I, the Antique Grand Father Clock was auctioned off for $4,000.00; Chris has 80 Cook Books out of 560 to sell; our President’s Pin (per Rosa) is valued at $4,000.00; the President’s Fund of $511.00 was matched by Toni, all going to the Hospital for toys for the patients; the names of the high bidders for the Bake Sale were called and all enjoyed the luscious luncheon. Our Installation then took place and Jeanne presented another unique ceremony. If we had any doubts, all of our officers now have a “Heart”. Jeanne gave them one. Then we had the changing of pins. Chris received her Past Honorary President’s Pin, Sandy received her Honorary President’s Pin and Gloria received her President’s Pin. Well time to angelically say farewell, exchange Christmas greetings and prepare for our 100 Anniversary.
