Congratulations to our newest elected trustees, Forrest Maxey (Lady Donna) and
Dan Elmore (Lady Vickie). We're looking forward to your input over the next
three years. Also, a big "thank you" to the outgoing trustees, John Shuler and
Charles Edwards. Your dedication was and is invaluable to Abou Ben Adhem.
Our newest club, The ABA Sheiks, had its kick-off meeting on January 28th
in the lower level. Thanks to our past potentates, Rick Jester, Mickey Tolliver
and Sam Montgomery, for a great meeting. All new ABA Shriners are automatically
members of this club. Spread the word, the next meeting of the Sheiks will be
April 28, lower level.
Lions, tigers and clowns, OH MY! George Carden's Shrine Circus is
back on our agenda March 7th through the 16th in Springfield at the Shrine
Mosque. Sign up to work as many performances as possible. Please support your
Temple by sending in the money for your circus tickets, as 100% of those dollars
stay at Abou Ben Adhem.
During the Super Bowl, I had to reflect on Abou Ben Adhem. Our team (ABA)
always makes it through the playoffs with home field advantage. We have
excellent coaches, dedicated players, and extremely cute cheerleaders on the
sidelines cheering us on. Abou Ben Adhem will continue to make the big game
through your continued support of your club, or unit, your Temple, and your
philanthropy. Let's continue 'Building the Future".
All for Now.
Yours in the Faith
