Here, however, it must be stressed that timing may be of utmost importance. The final outcome of a burn case may be greatly dependent upon the type of treatment and the speed with which it can be started. Therefore in emergency, the Chief Surgeon has the authority to admit the patient, having the application completed at a later date. If then you know of an emergency burn case, immediately call the Shine Ambassador in the area. Let’s not miss a chance to put out a helping hand. Be a true Shriner!

That makes it difficult to get our first parade. candidates qualified for the Fall Ceremonial (November 7th). The Black Camel is hard to combat but with all With 35 new Shriners joining us in the Ceremonial our efforts, we can turn this shrinking trend our Temple we can only consider it a great success. I was has been suffering from for several years. Start now personally pleased to name Noble Larry Ashley as the in your recruiting efforts and we can have another Class Honoree. successful Ceremonial. I want to thank everyone who helped make it so. The Directors Staff, the Class Directors , our Aides, the Ceremonial Cast, Ben Kapp and the Media Unit, Dave Bowman and Bella, Scott Abbs, Ill. Larry Chapel, Ill. Don Scott, Brooks Targgart, Sara, Jessica and of course the Membership Committee and all the Nobles who brought us these new Shriners. As you can see it takes a lot of individual efforts to make this happen.Now all you first line signers get these new Nobles to our meetings and you new Shriners find a Unit or Club and get involved. The First Lady is planning what promises to be a unique, educational, and fun Ladies Party on June 18th. I encourage all the ladies to attend and enjoy this very special event. Finally, at the Stated Meeting, we presented Judy Klemm with a 100 Million Dollar Certificate as a way of recognizing her 14-plus years of service to Mizpah. In addition, Ill. Ron Harruff read a letter from Bob Cottner, Director of Development of the Chicago Hospital, recognizing her service and wishing her well. We can only join Bob in wishing Judy an enjoyable The second happening was our first parade, the retirement and look forward to continue working with Shipshewana May Fest Parade. What a thrill to parade her at our Screening Clinics. before a very large crowd who genuinely seemed pleased we were there! Again, lots of people made Lots of great events continue to be held at Mizpah. this a success - all the parade units, Marcus Hardiek Come Home to Mizpah and enjoy them with us. and some of the Directors Staff who organized the units and Ben Kapp for the pictures. In addition, the Fraternally, LaGrange County Shrine Club hosted a great Oasis at the LaGrange Legion. GW Soblotne, Potentate Personally, I am looking forward to a wonderful parade season for Mizpah. What a great way to get us in front of our communities. Hopefully we can take advantage of these events as recruiting tools. At our last Stated Meeting the decision was made not to participate in the 3 Rivers Parade. Consequently, we are working with Whitley County to participate in the Old Settlers Parade on June 27th, with an oasis at our horse grounds. This will keep us on course for one parade each month this summer. Watch for further details. 5 Recorder’s Message Nobles and Brothers It's hard to believe we're halfway thru the year. Our first parade was held in Shipshewana, what a great turnout The route was lined with spectators. LaGrange County Shrine club put on the Oasis at LaGrange American Legion Post. Thanks for a job well done. It's time to start thinking about our New Leadership for 2016. The Leadership search committee will be getting started looking for new leaders for Mizpah. Just a few thoughts from an old Recorder. Influence is what leaders do. They motivate to achieve the desired results. Outcome is why leaders are chosen for a particular position or responsibility. Results must be achieved. If most of the Nobility are acting one way, either well or poorly, it is a direct result of our Leadership. Leaders: Look in the mirror for the problem and the solution. Remember people want to succeed and Leadership: The ability to successfully influence a they want the designated leader to take them to that group of Nobles to achieve a desired outcome. It seems success. like a simple enough definition, but key words in this definition "Influence' and "Outcome". Truly Yours, Ellis Ryan, P.P. MSA Recorder Thank You! To Gary Soblotne, Potentate; the Mizpah Divan, Ron Harruff, and all of Mizpah Shrine Nobility. Working at Mizpah and for the Shriners Hospitals for Children was a privilege. I will not be going into the office everyday, but I will continue to work for the Hospitals and the Children in any way I can. Thank you so much for the special recognition that I received at the Shrine stated meeting on May 6, 2015. God directs our paths in life, the places we will go, the many ways our lives are changed by everyone we know. And sometimes He provides for us very special friends whose love and understanding know no limit, know no end. I will always treasure the friendships Karl and I made along the way. Sincerely, Judy 6 Unit News Kosciusko SC Mizpah Vettes Greetings from Kosciusko County Late April and early May has finally brought more seasonal type weather and an increase in activity for A "Tip of the Fez" for Co-chairmen, Nobles Dan the members of the Vettes Club.

They have proven themselves by their City on Saturday, June 27th. dedication to the Craft, however for some reason we cannot get them "sold" on Shrine. With no parades scheduled for a month and a half, we can use this time to push the sale of Sportsman’s and One such Pierceton Brother, who was approached the Vette Club cash raffle tickets. John Brandon is several times and refused, was on vacation and for our ticket sales coordinator, so all tickets sold by Vette some reason he visited a Shrine Children's Hospital. Club members should be turned into John. When he got back home he asked for a petition and went thru this year's Spring Ceremonial. He has even Until next time, gone with the Van to our hospital in Cincinnati. Dee Byerly, President Now I know it is impossible to take every potential candidate to the hospitals, but I believe that we have the next best option with the Clinics that we have. If we can show them the need, dedication and compassion of the Real Face of Shrine, I would bet that we would have some new faces among us. The next Clinic is June 27th at Parkview Hospital in Columbia City. So invite a Brother and Turn Him on To Shrine. Remember what Da Judge said. Grasshopper 7 11:30am - 2:30pm EVERY Wednesday in Mildred’s Lounge at Mizpah Shrine. Check out the Weekly Specials!! Open to All Members and Guests, Ladies Groups, Masonic Organizations, etc Unit News Horse Patrol Most news is history as our May report got missed, so the quick catch up, Good Friday trail ride all stayed in the saddle for a great start of the season and rode close to a pair of "Stained Sandhill Cranes in the middle of a tilled field. The Stained comes from a habit of preening with soil on their bills to their back and breast, thus turning their usual grey a rusty color from the ferrous solution in the mud. It was the first time any of us seen any like that. May trail ride is planned at the Ranch to keep us tuned up for Captain John V as drill season is upon us. Capt. John did us a good job at our first parade in Shippsy for the great turn out of viewers on the side lines. LNO at Brevins of Busco, Hall's Factory, and this month back to the Club House which will probably be the last for this year. They were all well attended and a good time for all Honoring our Sweethearts. Many Congrads to Spring Ceremonial Honoree Larry Ashley for his nice class of 35 new members. We have already elected one, Justin Smith to our unit. Thanks Larry, you helped us get a good member. Justin has helped us many times at the Horse Show as a kid and we are very lucky he has returned. Please welcome Justin and Lady Jill, they have three children and he is self employed at his own business Smithy's Ag Diesel Repair. If engine goes putt-putt you need Justin to make it purrrr. Horse Show is just a few days away, Chairmans John V and Bob Dumford has us busy with all the finial details. Many thanks to all the other Nobles who has gave us a hand preparing for this great event, also help us by wishing for nice weather and a great attendance of exhibitors. Thinking of nice weather I can hear them mushrooms popping, Lady Jeneva needs to heat up the skillet cause I'm off to get a mess, so happy hunting to you also. Bagpipers Dear Bagpipe Fans, Spring is finally here and we are getting a chance to play outside! We had a Great time at the “Blessing of the Bikes” in Arcola on April 11. Goose, Bobby, Mark and I rode our motorcycles over. The crowd was huge. They had a short ceremony, and then Mark and his choral group sang the “Irish Blessing”. Immediately afterward, we played “Amazing Grace”. While waiting to get our bikes blessed, a number of people came up and told us how much they appreciated and enjoyed our performance (it sure is good to have fans). Our next public appearance was the Shipshewana parade. I don’t think I have ever seen that many horses and buggies in one place. Greg did a good job as Pipe Major leading us through our tunes. Bobby, Dick and I played the pipes and Lance kept us in time with the bass drum. The weather was nice and the crowd was larger than I expected. Our latest gig was playing the Military Medley at the Shrine Stated Meeting. It always warms my heart to see the veterans stand when we play their prior service tune. Dick, Goose, Bobby, Scott, Greg and I played the pipes to the accompaniment of Brad on the snare. Brad has really made vast improvement on the snare (he was outstanding of the tenor drum before he transitioned) and his playing adds a “zip” to the music! We are always seeking other members to join our happy group. You don’t have to have prior musical experience. We teach bagpipe lessons and the drum section is always glad to have another player. This could be your chance to become part of a great tradition. SO LONG AND HAPPY TRAILS ~~ RAY GIANT~~ We meet every Wednesday. Lessons are at 6 pm and practice begins at 7 pm. Joe Jenckes Bard 8 Unit News Radio Unit Khyber Gun Club Years ago proficiency in sending and receiving morse code was required to become an amateur radio operator or ham. That requirement is no longer required. Today there are (3) levels of amateur radio license – Technician, General and Amateur Extra. The Technician class license is the entry-level license of choice for most new ham radio operators. To earn the Technician license requires passing one examination totaling 35 questions on radio theory, regulations and operating practices. The license gives access to all Amateur Radio frequencies above 30 megahertz, allowing these licensees the ability to communicate locally and most often within North America. It also allows for some limited privileges on the HF (also called "short wave") bands used for international communications. The General class license grants some operating privileges on all Amateur Radio bands and all operating modes. This license opens the door to worldwide communications. Earning the General class license requires passing a 35 question examination. General class licensees must also have passed the Technician written examination. Greetings Nobles, Warm weather is great for trap shooting so come to the 3rd Tuesday shoot at the Horse Patrol Grounds. You don’t have to be good to enjoy shooting and talking with the participants. Shooting starts at 6:00 with loaner guns and ammo available. The passing of long time member Dr Garland Anderson came as a complete shock. He always added some joviality to the meetings. His contribution to the hunting and shooting community will be greatly missed, .along with his humor, upbeat personality and stories. A contribution was made, in his name, to the Chicago Shriners Hospital. The Sportsman raffle will be held on September 12 at the Horse Patrol Grounds. Get your raffle tickets and plan to come and enjoy the spectacle, along with beer and eats that are included in the ticket price. The next KHYBER meeting will be on June 23 at 7:00 in the Cabiri room. Eats from the Lounge menu start at 6:00. This will be the last meeting until the fall schedule starts in September. Fraternally Jim Crawford, Secretary The Amateur Extra class license conveys all available U.S. Amateur Radio operating privileges on all bands and all modes. Earning the license is more difficult; it requires passing a thorough 50 question examination. Extra class licensees must also have passed all previous license class written examinations. Our annual Field Day sponsored by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) will be held June 27thand June 28th at our unit treasurer Steve Brunjes’ home 325 E. Division Rd, Huntington, Indiana. Here with amateurs all across North America we will be operating in simulated emergency conditions using emergency power and temporarily erected antennas. Stop by for a visit during Field Day at Steve’s home. We meet the third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 for our unit meeting. If you have ever had a desire to talk with folks across the country or the other side of world over the airways, stop by and visit us. Everyone that has an interest is invited to attend as our guest. We are glad to get on the air and provide a demonstration as well as providing classes and coaching for those interested.

Our July 11th gathering will be the world famous Mongolian stir fry that will be hosted by the Auer’s this year. Bill, Laura, Randy and Sherry Krider will need a lot of help with this event. Our end of June newsletter will have final details and the times when help is needed. I want to thank Barry and Pam Richards for volunteering to host the clan In August. For anyone who has done this, it is no small undertaking. However, because of the Shrine participation in the North Manchester parade that starts late on Saturday August 8th, we have cancelled that meeting. Thank you Barry and Pam for offering. We will find a time next year that we can do this. That’s it for now. Honor the Cob & Respect the Crescent on the Door Pa Mark Roach The Spring Ceremonial was exceptional and we brought in three new members to APC.

Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say, But how many were sorry when he passed away. ESTABLISHED 1876 420 W.
