It has been a year of some life changing events for me, but you have to get up, dust yourself off and keep going. I think of our hospital kids and the challenges they face everyday. They keep struggling through surgeries, rehabilitation, pain, and disappointments, but they keep going. It’s our responsibility to try and help these children in whatever way we can. A couple of weeks ago, Marzuq had our second annual Golf Tournament at Golden Eagle Country Club. This fund raiser is strictly for raising money for our Shriner Hospitals. It was a beautiful sunny day with 16 golf teams. The players all had a fun packed day starting with a breakfast sandwich, coffee and juice. Refreshments were also on the golf course; Gordo’s supplied some small Cuban sandwiches and Spirit It Restaurant supplied some libations. After 18 holes of golf, lunch was served, door prizes were drawn, and the winners were announced. The final numbers aren’t in yet, but we’re pretty sure we had a good day. As soon as the final numbers are in, we’ll let everyone know. I would like to thank everyone involved in the tournament; without their efforts this fund raiser wouldn’t happen. It’s not hard work, but it takes some time to put on a good golf tournament. Columbus Day is set again for next year’s Tournament. I urge you to get involved in this great event and let’s do our part and help our Shriners Hospitals for Children!! We have a big list of events coming soon, by the time you read this the Perry Forest Festival Parade will be history. The Hillbillies will once again be cooking for our Ladies and Awards night in November. Boston Butt tickets are now available in the Temple office. High Priest and Prophet Jeff Hofmeister is heading up this fundraiser this year, please give him a call if you can help with this event. Keep an eye open for emails on parades and other events. Yours in faith, Bennarr Revell Potentate 2019 4 Assistant Rabban I hope that this article finds you in good health and spirits. Though time has flown by this year, I hope each of you have had time to enjoy family and friends. It has been great to see many of you at the meetings and get to hear of the adventures and experiences from the summer months. As we begin to bring this year to a close, we still have many opportunities to get engaged in Temple activities. We recently held our annual Golf Classic at Golden Eagle County Club and though final numbers are not yet available, I know that we had more teams and more sponsors than last year. This improvement is directly related to more members being involved and gaining greater community support and participation. Go ahead and mark you calendars as we have already scheduled next year’s classic for Columbus Day 2020. A special Thanks to our Potentate for taking the lead on this event. He has done a tremendous job of leading not only this event, but this year despite the many hurdles place in front of him. Upcoming in the month of November, is our traditional Boston Butt sale. We will be cooking only 250 of these delicious butts, so make sure you don’t wait to purchase and let your friends know of there availability. For tickets contact the Office, this year’s cost remains the same at $35 each. There are several parades and special Lodge events upcoming in the next several months and I encourage you to make one. These are opportunities to meet other Shriners and Masons and to develop our Temple. Lastly, as we approach this time of year when we focus on what we are thankful for, I want to say that I am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of something much bigger than me. Having had the opportunity to hear not only at our Temple functions, but at ever Temple I have had the opportunity to represent you at, the difference we as Shriners make. I do not have the words to explain what it does when I see a young adult or mature adult speak about the difference a Shriner made in their life or the life of their child. For the many of us that have children, we know what we would and have sacrificed for our children and just to know that we have eased the burden from that child and/or parent is worth many times more than the minimal time or financial
