Cairo and Mt. Sinai Temples had their Visitation
together it seemed to have worked
very well, everybody had a great time, and
the weather was perfect. The Bektash Picnic
went real well. We had a good crowd, good
food and drinks. Thanks to Bill and Sharon
Hebert and crew.
The Mazol Temple Visitation was
really different. We had the Ceremonial
and Banquet on the mainland and
then we went to an island 20 miles out
and stayed over in private homes and
partied with plenty of food. Lorne and
Debbie really out did themselves it
was a fun time!
The NH and VT Game Parade was
great. A lot of people on the sidelines.
The game was won by NH; VT had
too many turnovers. The hospitality at
the hotel was second to none. Plenty of
room, food and drinks. Thanks to Rick
and Linda, Bill and Sharon and Richard
Thank you to Al and Dot Durfee for
the excellent housing, a new hotel,
excellent rooms and a large hospitality
room.
We had a meeting at the Athens restaurant
in Manchester to see if we
could get the Manchester Shrine Club
going again. Two Nobles showed up,
what does that tell you? I'll try it
again later.
Hope you all are having a good summer
and thanks for all your support
Yours in the Faith
