Reporter: Todd Wilkins Sr
The Christmas holiday has come and gone.
Our hope is that everyone had an enjoyable
Christmas season.
We’re looking forward to
Spring temperatures and
getting out for parades.
The Jaffa Band had their first Christmas party
at the home of Todd and Diana Wilkins on
%$1'
December 5. We all had a great evening and
it was nice getting to know all of our families better.
The Jaffa Band was happy to play for the Kiddies Christmas Party
and also made an appearance at the Altoona Veteran’s Home to
play for residents there. Our hope is that we were able to brighten
many people’s holidays with our music.

Goodbye 2015 .... Hello
2016 .... where did the year
go? Sometimes after parading, working the circus, sports
show and other events our old
bones ache a little bit. Fortunately, the Lil' Vettes have been picking up some younger
members ... 3 new members joined after the last ceremonial ... and there will be some new drivers on the road in the
Spring. In this day and age when fraternal and service
organizations are sadly lacking in new blood, it is good to
see these men taking an interest and being more than
"card carrying" members. Welcome to our unit.
This year Jaffa Shrine will be lead by a fellow Lil' Vette
member Miles "Ken" Costello. . We look forward to working with Ken and Delores and hope to have a lot of
Lil' Vettes hitting the streets to make him proud.
Recently, our unit president, Charlie Cox presented Ken
with a clock to commemorate his year as potentate as well
as his membership in the Lil' Vettes.
By the time you are reading this article, the Jaffa Sports
Show will be old news .... but I am sure our unit did our job
efficiently .... moving vendors in and out of the show.
he does a fine job. Fred
Goodman, secretary/
treasurer, will be contacting members with date
and time. This is always
an enjoyable evening
seeing old friends after
the winter break.
April will, of course, be
circus month ..... get your
comfortable shoes and
smile out and
come help sell novelties
at the Lil Vettes booth.
. We need lots of help
and every hour you can
give is appreciated.
This reporter is in the Sunshine State for some well deserved "down" time .... and wow has it been hot!
Like the groundhog, I will see you in the Spring .....
Jim "Spanky" Edwards
Our next event will be the Annual Spring Kick-off Dinner in
March .... Ralph "Bud" Campbell has taken care of the arrangements for this event for the past several years and
Another year has come and gone, as a time
traveler I know the year still exists in the
time warp. Three parades in May, one in
June, and three in July meant for a busy
summer. Three seemed to be the number, as
the Fab Three took a second place in the
MASA parade. Way to go guys.
In April the Highlanders lost another of our
+,*+/$1'(56 founding members. Jack Linderman caught
a ride on the Black Camel. I’m sure he was
still piping for the whole trip. Jack was a stalwart of the band, if
there was a parade Jack would be there. Jack was my first line
signer ten years ago so we had a special relationship. In July
George Papas joined him, with those two Heaven will never be
the same. Slan na Gael, my brothers.
We are getting ready for the annual Robert Burns dinner that the
Highlanders sponsor. It will be on January 23 and over when this
is read, so more next time.
We are always looking for a few good members. If you have a
fondness for the bagpipes or drums, like to march and have a
good time. come and join us. I know some Shriners who don’t
belong to a unit. I can tell you guys, you are missing a great deal
of fun and fellowship. We march so kids can walk is not just an
empty slogan, it is real every time we step out into a parade.
See you on the march.

Clan Chief and Reporter

JAFFA JOURNAL—PAGE: Over the past few decades, the Mounties have been like an old pick up truck,
running on retreads. But this year, we
are starting with a new set of leaders. Congratulations and thanks to the
younger noble horsemen who stepped
to leadership positions.
02817(' upOur
president is Tyler Burchfield, sec3$752/ retary Ben Ritchey, treasurer Duane
Smith, Captain Bernie Edmundson, 1st
Lt. Mike Luther, 2nd Lt. James Russell, and Quartermaster
Mark Miller, who doubles as our sanitation
engineer during parades. Nobody volunteered to write
these articles for 2016, so you're stuck with me for another
year.
Since our last parade at Halloween in Hollidaysburg, we
have been slowed down but not stopped. We had a great
Christmas Party at the US Hotel, and welcomed in the
new year at Jaffa's annual celebration. Again, we were
THE party, with 4 tables of party goers. The Drum and
Bugle Corps was well represented, but the other units
were hard to discern. Too bad!
Our Mounties are as good on the dance floor as they
are on a horse. At all the Jaffa parties we attend, Ben
Ritchey and Mike Luther are leading the way, whether it's
with a band or a DJ, It's great to have some younger blood
in our unit. Fred Imler, Fred Putt and I are glad to see the
new Mounties leading.
Thanks to our officers of 2015, we attended all the Jaffa
meetings, parades and parties, where our attendance was
noticeable, and with our new leaders in 2016, we intend to
lead the way again. Lead on, Mounties.
Our first unit meeting of the year was in February,
where we got ready for the Sports Show, led by our own
Bernie Edmundson as chairman.
Please remember our service men and women in your
prayers, as well as some of our members who are unable
to be active with us. But we are thinking about you, Tom
Fletcher and Ken Keiper.
By now our trusty steeds are as hairy as bears, but
soon we'll be putting some corn oil or flax seed meal in
their feed to get their coats shed out and shining for our
first parades on Memorial Day in Juniata and Duncansville.
Before we know it, the Circus will be here, and that will
be the lead for the next edition of the Jaffa Journal in the
April-May issue.
Until the next time, sit tall in the saddle, and keep a
steady hand on the reins.

Forty eight Road Runners dedicated 610 man
hours selling 500 fir, pine and spruce trees to
many local people who have supported us for
many years, as well as several businesses and
churches who used our trees to celebrate Christmas.
As I look at it now, the trees were short and stout, tall and
slender, and every thing in between. Probably resembled the
48 Road Runners who tended the lot for the 23 days the tree lot
was in operation.
We are grateful to Bill Ansley of Ansley RV at Duncansville
for the use of a great trailer ( with heat ) that we used for our
office, and Dan Wasko of Altoona Soft Water who provided us
with a coffeemaker, water and coffee while we put in the long
hours. If you're in the market for a travel trailer or a motor
home, or water and coffee service for you office or home,
please consider consulting with Bill or Dan.
Most of our members put in one to four shifts selling trees,
but our sales leader was Dale Wills who spend 22 shifts at the
lot, followed by Mike Politti, Ray Nycum and Jake Lockard with
11 shifts, and Harry Chirdon, Jim Calvert
and Ray Berkhimer with 7 shifts.
A heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped
unload trees Friday after Thanksgiving and
all 48 nobles who sold the trees. A special
recognition to Dick Brown who arranged for the Salvation Army to collect the trees for removal to their sales outlet location.
We don't have any idea how much money we raised as a result
of our efforts, but the funds will be used toward transporting our
patients to the Shrine hospitals at Erie, Cincinnati and Philadelphia this year. I'm already looking forward to next year.

The Provost Guard led by Jim Paul with
a 625 series won the High Division. The
Directors Staff led by Leo Graham with a
682 series won the Low Division. Both teams have assured them self a spot in the roll offs at seasons end.
A Board of Directors meeting was held before bowling to
decide if the one on one system from the first cycle should
be kept .A vote was taken by the Board with 7 votes for
keeping and 6 votes for changing the new system. President Leo Matuszewski abstained in order to not create a
tie vote .We will be keeping the one on one system .With
the price of bowling going up and other cost we must try
helping a couple teams get replacement bowlers so as to
keep our league full and our prize money coming in order
to insure a great Banquet at seasons end. Awards from

What an achievement for Daughters of the
Nile! Daughters of the Nile placed a total
of three more gold plaques in the Shrine
Hospitals this year and witnessed an exciting first. On August 19, 2015 the Quebec
and Montreal dignitaries, the Imperial Potentate, Past Imperial
Potentates and many guests dedicated the new Shrine Hospital in
Canada. Also, a first for Daughters of the Nile: The dedication
and naming of the second floor of this new Shrine Hospital for
“Daughters of the Nile”. The privilege and honor was granted in
recognition of the Daughters of the Nile’s Canadian Trust commitment of one million dollars to the hospital’s capital campaign.
During this year alone, Daughters of the Nile presented $2.3 million dollars to help treat patients in the Shrine’s Specialty Pediatric Hospitals. Since its first donation in 1924, Daughters of the
Nile have contributed over $56 million dollars to help make the
dreams of children come true.
Working toward making children’s dreams come true,
the Officers of Shriners Hospitals recently announced that they
were the first specialty health care system to join the Mayo Clinic
Care Network. This relationship allows dedicated staff to share
their knowledge and ensure children receive the best care from
well-trained doctors. Dr. Kozin, Chief of Staff at the Shrine Hospital in Philadelphia, was a member of the surgical team performing a bilateral hand transplant. The eight year old boy is progressing well and has returned to school. What a medical achievement!
Yes, Dorcas Temple # 129 and about 139 other Temples
in the United States and Canada have the privilege of being a part
of these medical miracles with their annual donations. In January,
Dorcas Temple initiated new members to assist in our philanthropic endeavors. It’s great to be a Daughter of the Nile!
Dorcas Temple also sponsors “Operation Bear” for our
two local Shrine Hospitals, Erie and Philadelphia. Each month a
total of 75 bears are sent for the children. Last month, when I
visited the Philadelphia Hospital with my husband, we saw a
child going home with a bear held tightly in her arms. I had a
warm feeling watching her hug the soft little animal. I know the
bear will receive love and bring comfort to the child.
If you would like to assist in our project, send your donation to help purchase soft, cuddly animals for the children to:
Daughters of the Nile, Jean Kensinger, PQ, 705 Ivory Lane, Martinsburg, PA 16662. Make checks payable to: Dorcas Temple #

Thank You for your support and have a healthy New Year!

We’ve all been seeing the new Shriners Hospitals for Children
commercials on TV a lot lately. Everytime I see them, I can’t
help but feel a sense of pride. Pride in knowing that the work we
do as members of the Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America,
Jobel Court #11, play a part in helping these kids. We help make
sure that any child that needs the care at Shriners Hospitals gets
the care they need regardless of their ability to pay. We help kids
accomplish so much and we should all be proud of the work we
do to raise money for Shriners Hospitals for Children. It’s all
about the kids!
Are you a member of Jobel Court #11? Would you like to be part
of this amazing organization that raises money to help the kids at
Shriners Hospitals? Contact us! We’d love to talk to you about
joining us and get you a petition for membership.
Our election of officers will be held at our February meeting with
Installation on Sunday, March 20 at 2:00pm at the Jaffa Shrine.
Photos and a list of our newly installed officers will be in the next
issue of the Jaffa Journal. Be sure to check our Facebook page for
details and photos.
We are proud to report that our peanut brittle sales were a huge
success. The ladies worked hard and made over 750 pounds of
peanut brittle for a profit of over $5,400! Awesome work ladies!
Our fundraising efforts continue into
2016 as well. We are now taking orders
for our home made apple dumplings.
From the rolling of the dough to slicing
the apples and putting these awesome
apple dumplings together and baking to
perfection, the ladies work hard to bring
you a wonderful treat!
Orders are being taken now through February 8 and apple dumplings will be available for pickup after noon on Monday, February
15. For $4.00, you can have your own home made apple dumpling! Contact any Jobel Court member, Judy Hudson (814) 9443237 or Laverne Penn (814) 696-0194 to place your order today!
At our January meeting, we welcomed 7 new ladies to Jobel
Court! Five of these ladies completed their petition at MASA in
Virginia Beach this past September. I can’t help but get excited
when I see our Court growing with so many wonderful ladies.
Welcome aboard!!
Continue to watch our website for news and events on what the
ladies of Jobel Court are doing for the kids! http://

A VERY SPECIAL DONATION
Ken & Ruth Weaver were a very dedicated couple and have been
very active supporting Jaffa events during their 65 years of marriage, and have supported Shriner’s Hospitals. Recently Ken gave
a six figure check to Fred Imler to present to the Philadelphia
Shriner’s Hospital during the board meeting on December 10th in
memory of his wife Ruth. The following is a biography of a very
outstanding Shriner and his lady.
Ken is a 50 year member of Hiram Lodge 616, a member of Valley of Altoona Scottish Rite, Jaffa Shrine Legion of Honor, Color
Guard Unit, Ushers, Wiring Committee, and a great worker for the
Circus.
Ken retired from Penelec in 1988 after 41 years as Chief Lineman.
He served in the Marine Corp during World War II and was a recipient of the Purple Heart after being wounded in Iwo Jima.
Ruth graduated from Altoona High School in 1945. During the
war she worked at Brumbaugh Body Company and later at Sears.
Ken & Ruth were married in 1947. She was a charter member of
the Sweet Adelines and directed the Blair County Senior Choir.
Ruth was always very supportive along with Ken in the many

Shrine activities as Potentate’s Aides. Her special smile was always evident to greet everyone.
