Summer is on the down swing and the Fall / Indian Summer is fast approaching. I hope that all of your gardens and flowers are producing much bounty and beauty for you and your families. Many thanks go out to all of those that participated in the burger wagon and the
Lakefair parade and festivities. The wagon was a great success this year with the leadership and organization of our Vice President, Noble Sam
Lantow. Special thanks also goes out to Ben
Schatz and Guy
Pease. Without the steadfast participation of these Nobles the burger wagon would surely suffer.
The Thurston Mason Shrine will remain dark for the month of August. But, the
Afifi Temple is still active and needs our support. August 14
th is the Morton Parade and any and all Nobles available should attend. There will be an officers meeting for Thurston Mason Shrine on Aug. 18
th at 6:00pm at the Olympia Masonic Lodge. Sept. 2
nd Afifi Shrine will have it's Past Potentates & Old Timers Night. The
Puyallap Fair is coming up fast and the Temple needs help selling raffle tickets for the car. The fair will run from Sept. 3-19 and Nobles are encouraged to sign up and help the Temple spread this work evenly.
Enjoy the sunshine while we have it and I look forward to seeing you at some of these up coming events.
Sincerely,
Noble President, Damien J
Kolb
