Nobles Alan Tiede, John Freeman and Brett Tiede have completed the work on our trailer. New fender, packed wheel bearings, new step treads, checked brakes, wiring and lights. An excellent job. Thank-you Nobles you’re outstanding!

WHITE MOUNTAIN SHRINE CLUB HOSTS
OPEN BROTHERHOOD NIGHT
On Tuesday Evening May 15, 2012 the White Mountain Shrine Club is holding a Brotherhood Night at the Cabot Inn in Lancaster which is open to all Master Masons and their Ladies. We will have dinner with a cash bar and enjoy the fellowship of good company. Social hour begins at 5:30 p.m. with dinner about 6:30 p.m.
Our Illustrious Potentate, Robert St. Jacques, will be in attendance and offer up some wisdom about Bektash Shriners and the good will they do for Physical Disabilities and Burned Children. We hope to have a Representative from one of the Hospitals there to comment on the philanthropy and answer questions in that regard.
The White Mountain Shrine Club meets 3 or 4 times annually and generally involves the ladies. We actively look for a chance to have fun and try to raise a little money to support the Shrine Hospitals. This is a good cause which needs the support of good people in order to continue to offer services to children.
There is also a Hillbilly Degree team which is just beginning to start working locally whose aim is to participate actively in local parades and also support the Hospital's endeavors. So there are now two opportunities to do something actively north of the Notches.
Contact Jeremy Allin, President of the Shrine Club at 603 443-7562, or Ronald Crane, Secretary at 603 788-2045, to find out more details and make reservations for the event. You can also find contact info posted on the web site at www.whitemountainshrineclub.org if you prefer.
WE TAKE CARE OF CHILDREN

In this Agatha Christie style comic mystery.

 Become a Virtual Mentor
Do you remember that special person who made a difference in your life? The person who took the time to ask your name, introduce you around or show you the ropes? If we’re lucky, we have one person in our lives who made a positive impact personally or professionally.
Being a Virtual Mentor is your opportunity to make the same difference in the life of a man on his way to becoming a Master Mason and Shriner. All it takes is willingness, enthusiasm and time.
As a Virtual Mentor, you will be paired with a Candidate with similar interests in your area. Communicating by phone, e-mail or in person, you’ll have the opportunity to share your knowledge and enthusiasm about Masonry and about being a Shriner.
You’ll answer questions or concerns, help find the right Lodge best suited to the Candidate’s interests, and help him with his journey to becoming a Shriner. You will also have the opportunity to make a new friend.

Who are Shriners?
The Shrine was founded in 1872 by a group of 13 men belonging to the Masonic Order. It was originally established to provide fun and fellowship for its members.
But as the organization grew, its members decided to dedicate their efforts to helping others by establishing an official Shrine philanthropy -- a network of specialized hospitals
that have provided expert medical care to more than 575,000 children, regardless of the patient's ability to pay.
Since the first Shriners Hospital opened in 1922, the Shrine has supported
what has come to be known as the "World's Greatest
Philanthropy." The Shrine and its 22 hospitals, while
maintaining separate legal and financial identities, are
linked through the Shrine's continuing support of Shriners
Hospitals.
Houston Shriners Hospital
Houston, TX
The best known symbol of Shrinedom is the
distinctive red fez  that Shriners wear at official
functions. Because Shriners are men who enjoy life, fun is a
large part of the Shrine and the activities that help
support the Shrine's philanthropy. Most Shrine Temples
sponsor Shrine Clubs and special units, such as the motor
corps, band or clown units and many other units of interest.
They share in the camaraderie, deep friendships and good
fellowship that are all part of being a Shriner.
