Potentate’s Message
Dear Nobles,
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year. It hardly seems possible that a year has gone by since I
was elected Potentate. It has been a very rewarding year for me
and I enjoyed all of it. This will be my last article and I want
to thank everyone that supported me during the year. A special
thanks to the office staff, Gigi and Becky, for making things
run smooth “behind the scenes.”
Our elections are behind us and I wish Potentate-Elect, Pete
Hennig, and his Divan, the best for 2015. I know that they will
continue to support Tripoli to the
fullest. Just a reminder that the
Open Installation is January 3,
2015. Please join us for a fun
evening.
At our last stated meeting Greg
Zarse was presented with a plaque
from the Hospital for their
donations from the State Fair
concessions stand and hospital
booth. We appreciate all the hard
work that Diane and Greg put in
over the years. We also welcomed
Nicholas Sobon, a new member
who was obligated in a cold sands
ceremony.
The Red Fez Children’s
Christmas party was a huge
success. It was well attended with approximately 300 people
present. The kids were all thrilled with Santa and the gifts they
received. Thank you to the Clown and Animal units for their
participation. They go a long way in entertaining the children.
As I close, I again want to thank everyone for your help this
past year. It has been an honor to serve as your Potentate.
Fraternally yours,
Rick Loch, Potentate

Just the Facts...
The Banquet and Catering report for December is
complete. We had 11 non-Shrine events for the month
of November with a net profit of $17,366.96. There
were 4 Shrine related events with a net profit of
$4,035.78. Our total net profit for the month was
$21,402.74.
Doug Winter and John Bugajski finished our budget
for 2015. Doug presented the budget at our November
stated meeting and we would like to thank him for his
dedication and hard work. The budget will be voted on
at the January stated meeting for approval. We
anticipate a net operating income of $75,000.00 for
next year. In addition, Doug forecasts an income on
our investment account of $12,000.00.
The method of reporting 2015 income and expense
for our banquet and catering operation in the budget
has been modified. In the future all expenses will be
charged off to the respective events rather than
including them in the general expenses accounts of the
center. This will give us a more accurate determination
as to what the banquet and catering operation actually
nets.
The 2015 budget will report the circus revenue in a
different manner. We now receive an annual guarantee
of $230,000.00 for the next five years. This would be
paid for the summer and winter circuses. Bill
Cunningham will have complete control of those
operations under this new agreement. We will be paid
our guarantee regardless of any unforeseen
circumstances including inclement weather. In
addition, we can receive additional revenues from the
circus for such items as noble ticket sales, our family
circus nights and other noble related events.
We continue to have a very successful year. We will
present the summary of our annual financial report in
next month’s Tattler. We anticipate a very large net
income. With the controls put in place by our
Treasurer, John Bugajski, our Temple is operating at
paramount efficiency. Thank you John for your
outstanding work. Our future has not been this
optimistic in many years.

What Time Is It?
By Chaplain John
One of my favorite passages in
the Old Testament is the 12th
Chapter
of
the
Book
of
Ecclesiastes. “Remember your Creator in the days
of your youth, before the days of trouble come and
the years approach when you will say, “I find no
pleasure in them”---before the sun and the light and
the moon and the stars grow dark (vision), and the
clouds return after the rain (depression); when the
keepers of the house tremble (legs) and the strong
men stoop (back); when the grinders cease because
they are few (teeth) and those looking through the
windows grow dim (eyes); when the doors to the
street are closed (ears) and the sound of the
grinding fades (hearing); when men rise up at the
sound of birds (sleep), but all their songs grow faint
(hearing); when men are afraid of heights and of
dangers in the streets (fear of falling); when the
almond tree blossoms (white hair) and the
grasshopper drags himself along and desire no
longer is stirred (sex). Then man goes to his eternal
home (heaven) and mourners go about the streets.
Remember him---before the silver cord is severed
(thread of life) or the golden bowl is broken
(head/heart) before the pitcher is shattered at the
spring, or the wheel broken at the well (heart), and
the dust returns to the ground from which it came
and the spirit returns to God who gave it….Now all
has been heard; here is the conclusion of the
matter: FEAR GOD and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man. For God will
bring every deed into judgment, including every
hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” As we
begin a new Shrine year, may we live with these
thought in mind. All of us walk on this journey of
time. What time is it in your life? Remember your
Creator. Congratulations and best wishes to our
newly elected leadership. See you at Tripoli!

Peter Hennig, Potentate-Elect
I would like to thank the members of Tripoli for electing
me to serve as Potentate for 2015. It is a major highlight of
my Masonic service. We have a strong group of Divan
officers that are all dedicated to the continued success of
Tripoli and are all working to make 2015 a great year. I
know this year will be a success with their help and most
importantly with your help and support. Together we can
have a year for Family, Friendship, and Fraternity.
I was born in February of 1952 in Green Bay and
graduated from Green Bay West High School. I had one
brother, who passed away this past summer. I attended
Michigan Technological University in Houghton, MI and
received a degree in Electrical Engineering. My lady Carol
and I were married in 1973 and have 3 children Sarah, Ryan,
and Kimberly. Sarah and her husband, Andy, have 2
children, Mia and Nathan and live in Alexandria, VA. Our
son Ryan and his wife Whitney also live in Alexandria and
Kimberly is serving in the Navy and stationed in San Diego,
CA.
We moved to the Port Washington area after my
graduation from school in 1973 and worked for the Oster
Corp. In 1977 I worked for Lesson Electric in Grafton until
2004 when I moved to Pentair located in Delavan. At that
time we moved from Saukville to Elkhorn where we
currently reside.
My Masonic background begins when my brother-inlaw, Noble John Christensen, introduced me to Masonry
through Ozaukee Lodge in Pt. Washington. I received my
Master Mason Degree there in March of 1975. I continued
through Scottish Rite Valley of Milwaukee in fall of 1975
and crossed the hot sands of Tripoli in December 1975. I
joined the Provost Unit and served as Secretary for 2 years.
I had the honor of serving as Master of Ozaukee Lodge
in 1983. Later I became Lodge Secretary for about 10
years. During that time, Carol was active with Job’s
Daughters and with 2 daughters; it wasn’t long before I
became involved. After all it’s only 1 or 2 days a month!
Carol served as Bethel Guardian and I as Associate
Guardian of Bethel 60 in Pt. Washington. In 1997-98, I had
the privilege of serving as the Associate Grand Guardian of
Job’s Daughters in Wisconsin.
I am still a member of the Tripoli Provost Unit and
served as Chief in 2007. I am also a member of the Animal
Unit as Scooby Doo. I was appointed to the Divan in 2007
by Past Potentate Ed Rudolph. It has been a challenging and
exciting journey to this point and I am looking forward to a
great year for Tripoli in 2015 with your help and support.
The Potentate’s trip details are being worked out at this
point. There have been some requests for a few ladies
programs in conjunction with the stated meeting. Watch the
Tattler for notices on these and other events throughout the
year. Some other dates for the year are as follows:
• Feb 21 Tripoli Beach Party
• Feb 26 – Mar 1 Circus

Do you remember your first circus? You sat on the edge
of your seat and watched the elephants, the high wire acts
and the cotton candy. By volunteering as an usher you can
be part of a child’s first circus memory. The school
children’s circus performance is on February 27, 2015. The
show is in the morning and you’ll get a complimentary lunch
afterward.
Give the Temple or the circus office a call and find out
how to relive the past, or call Jerry Stein at 262-642-2081 or

Our Christmas party was shared with Whitnall Park
Shrine Club and friendship was renewed and a good time
was had by all. Once again, the Unit wants to say “thank
you” to the past officers. Not just this year, but all the years
past. Peter Hennig was elected Potentate for the 2015 year.
He was one of a number of Chiefs who was a Potentate that
was the Past Chiefs who guided this Unit. We will need at
least four Unit members to act as part of the Honor Guard for
Pete’s Installation. The Unit Installation will be January 28,
2015, and that event will take the place of our regular
meeting night. Watch your newsletter for place, cost and
time. It will also be Whitnall Park’s Installation. To one and
all Seasons Greetings and may it be overflowing with peace
and good health.
See you in church, Jerry Stein

Seasons Greetings to one and all and our thoughts are
with Dave and his family at this Christmas time. Our

with the Provost Unit on that night. Our February
meeting will be at Alioto’s Restaurant at noon, February

Remember January 3, 2015, we will be saying hello to a
new Potentate and so long to a Past Potentate. To the Past
Potentate “well done,” and to the new Potentate, “we will
be there to help.” A thought at Christmas time: When
you’re lonely, we wish you love; when you’re down, we
wish you joy; when you’re troubled, we wish you peace;
when things look empty, we wish you hope.

Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!
Happy Hanukkah!
I hope everyone enjoys the holiday season and has safe
travels. We are trying some morning sessions with a lunch
after so that you may have the rest of the day . If everyone
likes this we will need to have bylaw change. At our
December session there was at least 30 that attended lunch.
January 10 session will again start at 10 a.m. with a
lunch after. Please let Pr. Nancy Ryburn know if you are
attending as she is handling the meal this month. PQ Jane
Wiese will be filling in for me as we will be returning from
our cruise.
February 14 we will meet at our normal time and seeing
that it is Valentine's Day please wear RED.
The Queens lunch will be February 28 I am hoping to
have it at the Shrine Center Pr. Tirzah will have more
information on this. But do please save the date.
March 14th is a stated session we will celebrate St.
Patrick's Day Please wear GREEN this is also the time
that we have election of officers. Please consider taking a
station or starting the line. It is a experience that you will
never forget.
I attended the Hospital Auxiliary party at the Wisconsin
club where PQ JoAnn DeKoning's neighbor talked about
her daughter being at the Chicago hospital. I am hoping to
have her daughter come and talk about being the patient at
the hospital talk at the Queens Lunch.
Thank you to all that helped with the Cookie Sale we
made over $600.00 at that sale. Also to those that
purchased Wreaths and Poinsettias. I think that Gena
might have a couple of Entertainment books left if anyone
is still interested.
Now that we are at the Shrine Center lets try to get some
of the wives of Nobles to come and join us.
Please try to find a replacement for your officer if you
cannot make sessions. If you cannot find some one to do
your station please give me a call.
Once again have a Blessed Holiday and stay safe.

way from Ireland! Nancy Ryburn had a full 5 gallon bucket and

from her lodge. What a great job ladies getting the word out to
others that want to help and just need to be told what they can
do! Special thanks to those that brought premium prizes to the

world of difference setting up to have as much as possible in

required and the dues are only $5.00 a year! Remember $2.00
goes directly to the Wheel Chair Fund.
The January meeting will be Wednesday the 21st. Bring in
baby dolls and trucks. Meeting lunch reservations call into
Mary Ann before Monday the 19th at (414) 352-2527). Come
join us in the Melham parlor to socialize and shop for delicious
nuts, candies, knives and talent table items. Lunch is served at
12:00 noon, followed by our meeting.
Received a gift recently although well intended, just not a
good fit for you? We are eager to take your re-gifted items now
for others to enjoy. Help our cause and remember to bring these
items to our next meeting along with any hand crafted items for
our sales/talent table.
For toy donations the need is for cars, trucks, baby dolls and
coloring books. Clothing need is elastic waist shorts in all sizes.
Memorials, honorariums and gifts send to our Memorial
Chairman Gerri Lorberter, 7979 W Glenbrook Rd, #6020,

For the love of a child!
