We are a few weeks away from one of the most exciting time of the year to be a Shriner. Soon we will be setting up and getting ready for the shows. It is a lot of work and takes many people to make this a success. The Circus Committee would like to thank you all ahead of time for helping out and volunteering your time. If you have not worked a Circus in a while or are new to the Shrine, please come and help out if you have some time. It doesn’t have to be every show or all day, it might be you only have a couple of hours to help, we can find something for you to do. There will be a manpower table set up when you first enter the doors upstairs. Please sign in and get a wristband for that day. This is something the Cross Center asked us to do, so we know how many people are in the building at any given time. We have a lot on new acts this year and will have Elephant and Pony rides before and at intermission. This was a great success last year and we think it will be even better this year. For those of you that attend the Presque Isle Circus, you may notice something missing this year. George Watson stepped down from being the Circus Chairman for Presque Isle Circus. He led the group up there for over 30 years. If you see George hanging around up there please thank him for his great leadership and support he has given to us to make the Circus a great success year after year. George, I hope to see you there and have some chips ready for me. If anybody needs guidance this year please see Jim Dwyer as he is the New Circus Chairman for Presque Isle. See you all at the show.

BOSTON, MASS., FEBRUARY 24, 2016 Shriners Hospitals for Children® — Boston today announced the receipt of a $3 mil- lion gift to name The Howard Green Center for Children’s Skin Health and Research in honor of the late Howard Green, M.D. The mission of this first-of-its-kind center will be to carry on Dr. Green’s legacy by advancing the field of regenerative medicine through research and providing specialized pediatric skin care to children with even the most devastating and complicated injuries and conditions. All care will be provided regardless of families’ ability to pay. “For more than 50 years, Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston has been at the forefront of burn care and the treatment of pediatric skin conditions,” said Matthias Donelan, M.D., chief of staff at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston. “Along with providing a natural pathway into pediatric dermatology, this gift will drive more trans- lational research that will expand the scope of our care and ultimately benefit more children around the world, many of whom could otherwise not afford treatment.” Dr. Green was the first to grow skin grafts using a patient’s own cells, one of the earliest examples of stem cell therapy. The first grafts from cultured skin were used to treat two patients with life-threatening burns at the Boston Shriners Hos- pital in the early 1980s. The patients survived and Dr. Green’s discovery forever improved the life expectancy of patients with acute burns. He dedicated his career to furthering scientists’ understanding of skin regeneration and improving the outcomes for patients with devastating skin injuries and conditions. "It is because of the foresight of the doctors at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston that the first application in tissue engineering was conducted, saving two boys who had no other chance of survival,” said Rosine Kauffmann Green, Dr. Green’s widow. “My husband would have been pleased that his work will be the basis for further study and care of children's skin. He would be very proud of this moment." The Center will expand upon the hospital’s current research in the area of pediatric skin health, working hand-in-hand with the clinical practice to move regenerative medicine along the discovery continuum to bring new treatments to children more quickly. “The research Dr. Green pioneered throughout his career not only established the scientific basis for an entirely new field called regenerative medicine but also changed the course of burn care and saved many lives at our hospital and around the world,” said Mehmet Toner, Ph.D., director of research at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston. “This gift elevates our position as a leading research facility and will enable us to continue our commitment to research projects that will further improve the outcomes and lives of patients with burns and skin disorders.” YOU CAN HELP BY SPONSORING A CHILD If you need help with an application or need any other information about sponsoring a child to our orthopedic childrens’ or burns hospitals contact the Nobles listed below.

By Steve Trimm, President Greeting from Waldo County Shrine Club. As you read this March has already come and gone and April is finally here. Seems like we really didn’t have a winter at all. I think I plowed four times this winter. As we get towards warmer weather it will be a welcome addition to have our new heat pumps installed and ready to go, this will keep the facility cool in the summer and help with the heat cost in colder months, a welcome addition. April 8th is Ladies night at Waldo County Shrine which I believe will be catered by the Otis group, they always do a great job. Please try to attend. We will also have an Oyster Festival May 20th at Young’s Lobster Pound at 6pm with a 7pm dinner of Oyster Rockefellers, on the half shell oysters and also Oyster Stew. Steak Tips will be available for those who want this instead of the oysters. Libations will be served. Proceeds from this will benefit the Springfield Shrine Hospital. Price of this event is $25 per person. Should be a great time with lots of fun. The Shrine Circus will be here soon. Please come down to the Cross Center and help wherever you can. It takes a lot of volunteers to make this a success. In closing please support your Blue Lodge, as it is the Lifeline to Shrine. Yours in Faith, Steve Trimm, President ORIENTAL BAND David Spooner, President

Greetings from the North! First some housekeeping, If you read our March submission to the Anahgram and wondered what on earth was going on, its ok so were we. The band’s article was a sort of tribute to Glenn Frey, throughout it I included as many song titles from the Eagles as I could. Oh… and an update on our missing director Noble Carl Allen, we have gotten word that he is alive and well, but still is off on his quest.

You see we had to come back to the County to cook breakfast for last month’s Aroostook Shrine Club meeting, and then “Drummergate 2016” took place. Overall I would have to say the breakfast was a success, but let me tell you, anytime you get that many of the Silent Generation together in the kitchen without a woman to direct them, the “silence” is deafening.

Apologies for not having an update in quite a while, I intend to do my best to make sure we have an update every month.

Noble Josh Morse Washington County Shrine Visitation: John S. Fernald, P.P. Harold “Sonny” Crocker, P.P. Reporter Can you hear that? Listen hard, it’s getting closer and closer! Thump thump, thump thump….. that’s the sound that the go-kart unit members are getting excited to make, as they go up and over the ramp truck. It is almost time to pull the karts out of storage and get them ready for the task at hand. We would like to welcome our new Divan Rep, Adam Beals to our family. With his support, we know we are going to have a great summer and accomplish many things for the kids in need. We were happy to hear that Pepsi has joined the Shiner forces! Not only is our unit one the most entertaining acts during the parades, but if you get a chance on a weekend night, please check out Dave Eaton and his band! We were told that he has more moves than Patrick Swayze, in “Dirty Dancing”. His Washington County Shrine Visitation: Geddes Simpson,P.P. Albert Gibson, P.P. riding time in his Kart has really adapted his dancing moves to cause thrills and chills! A couple of important dates to keep in mind; May 21st - Hospital Membership Night Event June 10 - 12, 22 - 24 - We will be at Sams Club in Bangor, selling raffle tickets As always we are looking for new members.

Best wishes from the go- karts and like always, keep it between the rails!
