POTENTATE’S
MESSAGE
DEBBIE’
DAILY NEWS
by Illustrious Sir
John Richardson
Greeting Nobles,
Here we are six months in, and time is flying by. As you read
this, the Ceremonial is over, and what a great one! We had 50
new Nobles, how wonderful, we're moving back in the right
direction. When you see them, see if you or anyone at ABA
can help them. Top liners, you should be taking your noble
everywhere you go in the Shrine, they are your responsibility.
Next big event at ABA is the All Star Game June 27that Hammons Field. It is sure to be a great event, Frank Keyes and his
Committee have worked their tails off on this.
June 3rd we did a BBQ for Iron Indian Rider. They have had
a auction for the last 3 years for the Shriners Hospital. This
last one, we received $14,176.57 plus $50.00 Canadian, which
I am not sure how much the Canadian Dollar is, but how
wonderful. Also, I want to thank my brothers in the Widow
Son's Brother Square, for a great job smoking the meat and
making the baked beans, the food was to die for. Thank you
Brother Square.
We are off to Imperial Session July 3rd-10th. CSSA is in
Golden Co. August 26th-29th. Make sure to make your reservations and money in to Wes Joy, rooms are moving fast.

INDIAN RALLY
AUCTION
CHAPLAINS
NEWS
by Dan Elmore
The pictures are from the 3rd annual Indian Rally at Indian
Point Benefit Auction for Shriners Hospital St Louis held on
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2015.
by Kris Booth
Greetings All,
Well, we have made it through the first half of 2015 and I
hope it has been everything you could have asked for. I
know I have been greatly pleased with the support I have
seen from many clubs, units, and individual nobles to our
leadership and more importantly to those nobles in need.
It was held at Hunter's Friend Resort on Indian Point. The
total for the 2015 auction was $12,228.00 making the 3 year
total $28,228.00.
Pictured are:
Brother Danny Flucke from Mission Viejo, CA; Coordinator
& Auctioneer for the event Ill Sir John Richardson Assistant
Rabban Greg Keeling Captain of the Guard Bradley Roam
Brother Dan Elmore
As I get around to speaking with many of you I have never
met before it has occurred to me how privileged I am to
belong to such a great organization that supports its members. I encourage each and everyone to reach out if you are
aware of a noble or lady in need and let me know. So far
there have been a few that we have reached out to and I
encourage the nobility to keep them in their thoughts. Charlie Bare, The Bressler Family, "Bam Bam", John Roop, and
Bob Benton have all been through some trying times so far
this year as well as their families and loved ones. Most have
moved through their respective issues and are doing well
but there are still some remaining out there that need our
help and prayers.
It is also with a heavy heart that I pass along the following
information. Last month we lost one of our Past Potentates
Ill Sir William A "Bill" Lock. As a noble I never had the privilege of meeting him, but my interest peaked when I discovered he was the Potentate that signed the charter for the
Keystone Kops. At that point, I started asking around,
hearing stories and thoughts, and is soon became apparent
the caring and faith he had for his fellow brother and
humankind itself was equaled by none. Please keep his
family in your thoughts. Thank you.
I ask that you keep your fellow brothers and their families in
mind and if anyone is interested in helping out please feel
free to contact me! Thank you all!
Fraternally Yours,
-Kris

CORVETTES
by Chuck Nathan
The ABA Corvette Motor Unit is happy to welcome three
new members Rusty Shadel, Steve Swaim, and Al Samons to
the unit.
Thanks to the Kenton and LuAnn who volunteered to work
the Avett Brothers concert in May. If I missed other Corvette
members and ladies, my apologies and thank you.
The Nixa Sucker Days parade would not be complete
without some rain and we got it right on schedule. Several of
us had the top down on our cars when we started, but not at
the end. Oh well, it was still a nice parade.
Buffalo Days in Greenfield was also a little wet, but right
when the parade started the sun came out. We all met, as
always, at Jay Brown’s shop for a little pre-parade preparation. Several of our Shrine Ladies were on the sidelines at the
parade to cheer us on…isn’t that great! After the parade we
met back there for a review of current events and refreshments provided by the Brown’s. Thanks again to Jay and
Kathy for their hospitality. Each of the Corvettes parading
was awarded a blue ribbon for the Buffalo Days parade. Jay
Brown did not parade with the Corvette unit, as he was given
the honor of escorting Miss Buffalo Days Queen, his daughter Miss Cassidy Brown, through the parade in his 1960
Corvette. Yes that is what it takes to get Jay to bring that prize
Corvette out in the rain.
Harley Sampley is back parading with us in his black 2000
Corvette. Sure is great to have him and his lady Bev at the
parades. In case anyone has not noticed, Mark Fesperman
has a new Monterey Red 2006 Corvette Z51.
The Corvette unit had 11 cars in the Spring Ceremonial
parade. That has to be close to a record turnout for the
Vettes…Thanks Guys! We had one of our newest members,
Rusty Shadel and a returning founding-charter member of
the Corvette Motor Unit, Bruce Bell in that group. Our
newbie, Rusty, drove his Artic White 2010 Grand Sport
convertible and Bruce was in his 2010 Atomic Orange
convertible.
The winning ticket for the Glock we were raffling was drawn
at the Spring Ceremonial dance by our Illustrious Sir John
Richardson. The winner is George Ridens. Thanks to all of
you who purchased tickets.

GREETERS
by Greg Smith
Wow, summer is upon us and hopefully everybody is having
a good time.
Its been a busy first half of the year, lots of event and lots of
parades. We did parade in the annual Nixa Sucker Day
Parade and once again had a great showing. Several
weddings and class reunions planned during the summer
and the Wild Bill Hickok Poker Shoot-Out on July 24th.
The Corn Roast will be on September 17th so be sure to plan
for that.
Don't forget the Greeter Oasis bar is now open every Tuesday
of the month from 4:30 till. Come down and have a beverage,
laugh a little at your brothers, whip some @$$ in shuffleboard.
I hope everyone has a great summer, be safe.
Thanks to all who help make this a great unit,

LACLEDE COUNTY
SHRINE CLUB
by Howard Ridgley
CIRCUS
The Circus we sponsored at the Cowen Civic Center on 13
April 2015 was a lot of fun and enjoyed by children of all
ages. I always like to watch the clowns as they seem to
command a presence while doing nothing. They are magnets
for children and are happy to have their pictures taken with
them - - - actually, I think the Mothers want the pictures more
than their children. They make great memories - - something
we can look at as we reminiscence when they are grown.
And, then there is the issue of Elephants. Parents love to take
pictures of their children sitting on an Elephant. But, I seem
to remember, seeing on TV recently, that they will no longer
be performing in Circuses. Something to do with cruelty, so
they will be put out to pasture where they can live out their
lives in leisure. So, I took some pictures of Elephants
performing, and of children having a time of their lives
sitting on one, for the Shrine News. Hopefully, this tradition
will continue, after all.
WAGONS FOR WARRIORS
This event was a huge success in spite of the persistent rain.
There were many Wagons and tents where great food was
provided. Participants could go from one to the other and
sample the offerings. Such a deal!
FAMILY NIGHT
Fifteen pounds of onion rings were prepared and almost all
of them were eaten. It is always nice to get together. Again,
the rain was a dampener and kept many Shriners and their
families away. We'll do better the next time.

LEGION OF
HONOR
we were honored by the presence of Legion Nobles Leonard
Harris and John Back. In addition to Ceremonial Saturday,
June 6th also marked the 71st Anniversary of D-Day. These
two Nobles are two of our current World War II Veterans
still active in our unit, and their presence with us on this day
was especially heartfelt and rewarding for all of our membership. Two incredible tales of service to our great nation,
they truly are two Nobles whose attendance at our events is
always an amazing honor and privilege.
by Shane Wolfe
What an exciting Spring it’s been for the Legion of Honor.
First off we had a tremendous turnout for the Hospital Dedication Ceremony in May in St. Louis. Eleven members came
out in uniform to support what turned out to be an
outstanding event for both our fraternity and the Legion of
Honor. Four Legion of Honor Units from Missouri and
Illinois came out to participate in the ceremony; Ainad and
Ansar Shrine Temples Legion of Honor from Illinois and
Abou Ben Adhem and Moolah Shrine Temples from
Missouri. The ceremony consisted of a mass formation of all
four Legion of Honor units present as well as a Color Guard
provided by Abou Ben Adhem Legion of Honor, all of which
was commanded by our International Association of the
Legions of Honor Commander Jim Pulley. An outstanding
event, and truly an honor for our unit to have the opportunity to participate in such a dedicated fashion. Would like to
extend my thanks to PC Frank Sanchez, PC Wayne Schmid,
PC Cecil Davis, PC James Benton, Adjutant Dave Krisher,
our Captain of the Guard Shawn Garner, and Nobles George
Valentin, Gil Negrete, and John Mier for coming out and
supporting the event. An additional note of gratitude goes
out to the Yomo Unit out of Moolah Shrine Temple who met
our Legion of Honor Nobles and their Ladies at the door to
their temple on Friday night prior to the ceremony, and
extended their full hospitality and most accommodating
welcome to us and our Ladies present.
As we get into the full swing of Summer, some notes as to
upcoming events. Our next scheduled meeting is our New
Members Meeting set for July 10th. This meeting is not a
unit business meeting, but instead an opportunity to bring
new members up to speed on our activities throughout the
year, as well as inform them of what it truly means to be a
member of the International Association of the Legion of
Honor. Uniform orders can be placed, uniform items available can be purchased, and if enough current members are
present, we will accept and vote on petitions from any
Nobles who would like to petition the Legion of Honor.
Last but certainly not least, mark your calendars for August
8th. This will once again be the day for our Annual Legion
of Honor Picnic once again being held at the KOA Campground in Springfield. Smoked ribs, brisket, and pulled
pork as well as beverages, will be provided by the unit; sides
will be available based off of those who would like to bring
a covered dish. Additionally we will have cornhole and
horseshoes on-site as well as a bounce house for the kids. A
great time for our membership and their families to kick
back, relax, and enjoy some fun and fellowship. Any questions on this event please feel free to contact myself or any of
our Legion of Honor Officers. Hope everyone has a great
Summer and remember, "HONOR is a reward for that
which is given!"
In addition to the Hospital Dedication Ceremony, our unit
also had the opportunity to provide the Color Guard and
Presentation of the Colors for the Kimberling City Wounded
Warrior Association’s annual barbecue cookoff. A great
event, and all proceeds go to support the Kimberling City
Wounded Warrior Association. Also in May we once again
had the honor to participate in the annual Memorial Day
Wreath Laying Ceremony in Waynesville and Fort Leonard
Wood sponsored by our local chapter of the Sojourners.
This was our third year in attendance at it was truly an
honor.
Onion sales this year were incredibly successful for the unit.
I would like to personally thank Rick Anderson and Wes Joy
for assisting the Legion in making this fundraising event
such a success for both the Temple and our Unit. And a few
Legion Nobles well deserving of mention and gratitude; PC
Wayne Schmid and his Lady Jennifer, our Adjutant Dave
Krisher, Noble George Valentin, and last but certainly not
least PC Bill Huffman. PC Huffman has been our leading
salesman in both onions and apples for several years now,
and this year marked his 12th dedicated year of selling
onions.
June marked another tremendously successful Ceremonial
for both our Temple and the Legion of Honor. In addition to
an amazing turnout and a great time of fellowship and fun
for our unit, we were honored to welcome in two new
Nobles to our Unit; Nobles Pierre Fuentes and Frank
Thomas. Two outstanding gentleman that I know will do
great things for our Unit in the years to come. Additionally,

SHRINE CLUB
LAWRENCE COUNTY
SHRINE CLUB
by Darold Farless
by Paul Holland
Sorry I missed the last publication, no excuse, time just got
away from me.
Joplin club was very well represented at the circus at all
performances, Oriental Band, Pirates and just members
working. Thanks guys!!!
Joplin Club sold 3400 pounds of onions this year, thanks to
all that sold & bought onions!!
We also had a rummage sale, although it took us 2 Saturdays
to accomplish the task, we did OK. Thanks to all the members that donated items to sell. Everything that was left we
donated to the Disabled American Veterans.
Thanks to Ricky & Gayle Locke, Steve Dimetroff, Brain
Burke, Gary Sundy & Jacob Turner for manning the sale!
As I write this, Ceremonial is coming up & I am sure all went
well. Welcome to all new nobles!! You have joined one of the
greatest fraternities in the World !! Please if you get a chance,
come visit the Joplin Shrine club, we meet on the 4th Monday
of every month. I am sure you will have a great time.
I have debated with myself on writing about this........So what
the hey lets begin
I know most of you have read some of my articles in the past
so bear with me, One of my favorite topics... What made you
join the Shriners??
Was your Dad or grand dad or uncle a Shriner ? Did you
have a buddy that asked you? What was it? I personally
know 2 members that attend our meetings & yes they are
Pirates also & their reasons for joining. The first , everybody
knows, he has been around a long time , Jerry Burrus, did
you know he is a shrine child? I did Not until we worked the
circus together and we visited. What a great story, if you get
a chance , take the time to visit with Jerry.
The second is Bob Bradley, who is also a Shriner kid,
although a different story, he was a burn victim & the Shrine
burn hospital helped him. Again, please take the time to visit
with Bob.
and now the rest of the story...Bobs son is going through this
spring ceremonial.
I say all of this... What made you want to be a Shriner?? I
know why Jerry and Bob did. What about you ??
Welcome back to our Rajah Bill Allen. To celebrate his return
our May meeting was a Patio Party with fantastic Vidalia
Onion Rings served as an Hors'd'ouvre. Thanks to Jerry
Burrus and Wes Joy for their chef duties.
Onion sales went well this year and it was another good crop
of onions.
Spring Ceremonial provided an opportunity for our Rajah to
present $1,000 to the Shrine Building Fund. This makes three
Ceremonials in a row that Lawrence County Shrine Club has
made this donation. Thanks to all the club members for their
hard work in making this possible.
Some upcoming events for your calendar:
July 18 - Brat Sale in Mt. Vernon
July 20 - Next monthly meeting of LCSC
Sep 21 - Annual LCSC Fish Fry at Rick's place (Raffle drawing)
Sep 26 - Veteran's Appreciation Day at Missouri Veterans

Peace, brothers

SOCMO
Clowns
Pomme de Terre
Motor Corps
by Scott “Ritz” Radford
The SOCMO Clown Unit of Abou Ben Adhem Shrine Temple
was honored to be invited to participate in the grand opening
and dedication of our new hospital in St. Louis on May 17th.
There was a great turn out, (2000 + people I think) and we
were able to meet and interact with several of “our kids” and
their families. The new state of the art facility looks great and
I know many lives will be changed here. There was an impressive delegation from Abou Ben Adhem in attendance. When
you added up the Divan, the Hospital Dads, the Temple
Clowns, Past Potentates, and all of their families, it was quite
a group. It made me proud to be an Abou Ben Adhem Shriner.

SHELL KNOB
SHRINE CLUB
by Tim Good
I am here to tell you what a fabulous time you missed if you
did not attend the Shell Knob Shrine Club International Benefit Buddy Bass Tournament! There were 86 boats involved this
year to fight for the Grand Prize . For several years we have
been without a Really Good prize. Those times are gone! No
we did not get a boat but we did get a Gator and for the fishermen that is just as good, after all most of them already have a
boat. This year we gave away a Gator, donated by John Deer,
and Larson Farm and Lawn. Next year we will have a different sponsor with Legacy Farm and lawn and the same Great
Prizes.
Stop in for our daily meal
and drink specials!
From premium grade burgers to
our famous "Hustler Club," we
haven't forgot your taste buds at
Billiards of Springfield.
Don’t let me leave out Lews or Kings River Marina for the
assistance in the prizes that we gave away. Gentlemen this
year we gave back to the fishermen over $55000 . In cash and
prizes and should be able to keep this going for several years
to come. There is one thing you need to do to be apart of this
great experience
Across the street from the
Shrine Mosque!
Come and enjoy the weekend on the lake with us and your
brothers.
