Dear Nobles of Thurston Mason Shrine,

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 14th is the Morton Parade and any and all Nobles available should attend. There will be an officers meeting for Thurston Mason Shrine on Aug. 18th at 6:00pm at the Olympia Masonic Lodge. Sept. 2nd 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

June FEZ-FUZ

Greetings Nobles All:

Nobles and Ladies I cannot believe how fast the first half of the year has gone. We are working hard to have the Burger Wagon ready by July. Trim painting remains and we will be having another work party shortly. Thurston Mason Shrine Club Picnic will be held at the Masonic Hall this Year on June 26th. Huber’s was previously booked and we adjusted. Please bring your families and any prospective Nobles. This is a fun event every year. Camels Milk will start at approximately 6:00 pm. However Noble Ben Schatz and Rod Mason will surely be early for Camels Milk. Nobles please sign up and volunteer to assist on the Burger Wagon, Noble First Vice President Damien Kolb will be thankful for all the assistance we can give him!!!
Enjoy your summer and the Burger Wagon at Lake Fair and we will see you at the meeting in September.

Noble President, Ross

DUES AND DUES CARDS. They are printed and I will have them at the picnic; I have spiced them up a bit, I am sure you will approve. I will with Jay Stewart’s assistance get those cards to the Nobles who need them. If you have not paid dues for 2009, please do so as soon as you can.

SELL THEM RAFFLE TICKETS! We are looking forward to a good year with the car raffle and the assistance of all Nobles is needed to ensure its success. It is time to get selling! If you have not done so you can pick up your tickets at the next stated meeting!

NEED A JACKET. President Ross has gathered the information and has the order sheet. It only needs the commitment of one more Noble in order to get the order sent in. Surely there is more than one Noble amongst us who needs a new coat for the upcoming year. These are sharp looking coats with custom embroidery; and you will not be disappointed. The order sheets and information will be available at the picnic, be sure and get yours. Prices start at $65.15 and go up from there for larger sizes.

BURGER WAGON. Work on the burger wagon is progressing. Ross with the help of Nobles Damian, Sam and Guy to name a few have put in some work to assist Ross in his diligence in painting the wagon with some brighter colors to get it ready for the upcoming Lakefair.

The picnic is on Friday, June, 26th.

We always meet on the Fourth Friday each month.
We are dark June, July and August.

Meetings are held at:
Olympia Lodge #1 Masonic Center, 521 North Street, Tumwater

Camel’s Milk starts at 6:00 P.M. and Dinner at 7:00 P.M.
