We had a great group of 50 that went on the Potentate’s Trip to Medie-

val Times in Schaumburg. Thanks to Laura Babcock for arranging the

trip on a bus from Rockford for most of us. We had some who came

on their own from Waukegan and Sycamore. Everyone said they had

a good time. The horses were beautiful the knights were courageous

and the food was good. I wanted to try something different for a trip

that would allow more people to participate.

Please take a look at the new fence around the patio near the Oasis

lounge. Our Past Potentate Loy Rice did a wonderful job with the

construction. The entry and mosque have been painted and the

“Brides Room” is being remodeled.

The Rockford City Market will be on July 3. We need helpers to man

the tent and hand out information on Tebala and the Shrine Circus and

Shriners Hospitals

The Shrine Imperial Session will be in Houston, Texas from July 4th

thru July 9th and most of the Divan are attending to represent Tebala.

July 15th is the next Tebala monthly meeting.

July 16th will be the official visit of Supreme Queen Sharon St. John to

Alabet Temple Daughters of the Nile. Following the ceremonial there

will be a social hour and banquet at Hoffman House.

On July 17 – 18 – 19 the Tebala Shrine Circus will be at Rockford

Speedway. We need as many Nobles as possible to come and help out.

August 1st is the Franklin Grove truck show.

The Tebala and Directors Staff Golf Play Day is on August 15th at Sil-

ver Ridge Golf Course in Oregon. August 19th is our annual stag corn

It’s Summer

The sun is shining

Temperature is climbing

I have a daydream

With cake and ice-cream

I watch the children playing

From the early morning till the evening

I smell some roasted meat

There’s a barbecue in every street

Everybody is having fun

Enjoying the warmth of the sun

It’s summer from dusk till dawn

Pass this page on, before the summer is gone.

Service With a Smile

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in

a midwest town he planned to visit on his va-

cation. He wrote:

I would very much like to bring my dog

with me. He is well-groomed and willing to

permit me to keep him in my room with me at

night?

An immediate reply came from the hotel own-

er, who said,

I’ve been operating this hotel for many

years. In all that time, I’ve never had a dog

steal towels, bed clothes or silverware or pic-

tures off the walls.

I’ve never had to evict a dog in the middle

of the night for being drunk and disorderly.

And I’ve never had a dog run out on a hotel

bill.

Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my

hotel. And, if your dog will vouch for you,

you’re welcome to stay here too.

WHO SAID THAT?

“You must learn from the mistakes of others.

You can’t live long enough to make them all

yourself.”

Sam Levinson

“Life is what happens while you’re busy mak-

ing other plans.”

John Lennon

“You have achieved excellence as a leader

when people will follow you anywhere if only

out of curiosity.”

Colin L. Powell

“If you’re waiting for the right time, it’s now.”

Anonymous

“The world is changed by your example not by

your opinion.”

Paulo Coelho

“It doesn’t matter where you are coming from.

All that matters is where you are going.”

Brian Tracy

“The impossible is more believable than the

highly improbable.”

Louis Sachar

“Choose to be optimistic. It feels better.”

Dalai Lama

“Never confuse a single defeat with a final

defeat.” F. Scott Fitzgerald

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act,

the rest is merely tenacity.”

Amelia Earhart

“Always remember that you are absolutely

unique. Just like everybody else.”

Margaret Mead

“True friendship is seen through the heart, not

through the eyes.”

Anonymous

PONDER AWHILE:

“All things are difficult before they become

easy.”

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achieve-

ment.”

“Everything can be improved.”

“Instead of giving yourself reasons why you

can’t, give yourself reasons why you can.

“A true friend never gets in your way unless

you happen to be going down.”

“Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if

you lose you will be wise.”

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making

it complicated.”

“Rise above the storm and you will find the

sunshine.”

“A year from now you’ll wish you started

today.”

“It takes as much energy to wish as it does to

plan.”

“There are always flowers for those who want

to see them.”

When you REALLY want to

SLAP someone, do it and say

I’M VERY ORGANIZED

Everything is in One Big Pile

Of course I talk to myself.

Sometimes I need expert advice.

Always late…

But worth the wait

I have to stop saying,

“How Stupid Can You Be?”

SOME PEOPLE ARE TAKING IT

AS A CHALLENGE!

LAUGH A LITTLE TIME!

MEN’S REVENGE JOKES

I married Miss Right. I just didn’t know her

first name was Always.

I haven’t spoken to my wife for 18 months; I

don’t like to interrupt her.

The last fight was my fault. My wife asked,

“What’s on the TV?” I said, “Dust!”

In the beginning, God created earth and rested.

Then God created man and rested. Then God

created woman. Since then, neither God nor

man has rested.

Why do men die before their wives? They

want to.

A beggar walked up to a well-dressed woman

shopping on Rodeo Drive and said “I haven’t

eaten anything in four days.” She looked at

and said, “Goodness I wish I had your will

power.”

Do you know the punishment for bigamy?

Two mothers-in-law.

LOVES PARK SHRINE CLUB NEWS…(and random thoughts)



LOVES PARK SHRINE CLUB NEWS…(and random thoughts)

Young Son: Is it true, Dad, I heard that in some

parts of Africa a man doesn’t know his wife

until he marries her?

Dad: That happens in every country, son.

A man inserted an ‘ad’ in the classified: “Wife

Wanted” Next day he received a hundred let-

ters. They all said the same thing: “You can

have mine.”

A little boy asked his father, “Daddy, how

much does it cost to get married?” And the

father replied, “I don’t know son, I’m still pay-

ing!”

OIL FARM

A man stopped by a booming oil field in south-

ern Kentucky to give a lift to a man on his way

to the county seat. They drove through once

beautiful farm land now scarred by bulldozers

and drilling rigs, cluttered with pumps and stor-

age tanks. Guessing that his passenger was a

farmer living in the area, the driver steered the

conversation to the tall tales he had heard of

quick riches for both speculators and farmers.

The local man acknowledged that many of the

stories were founded on fact.

“You own a farm here?” the driver asked.

“Yeah,” was the reply.

“Any oil wells on it?”

“Yeah, three good ‘uns and they say they’ll

each make 300 barrels a day.”

“What in the world are you going to do with all

the money you’ll be getting?”

The farmer gazed across a machine-scarred

field for a moment and answered, “Why I’m

gonna buy me a farm that ain’t got oil on it!”

ROMANTIC DINNER

On their anniversary night, the husband sat his

wife down in the den with her favorite maga-

zine, turned on the soft reading lamp, slipped

off her shoes, patted and propped her feet and

announced that he was preparing dinner all by

himself.

“How romantic!” she thought. Two-and-a-half

hours later, she was still waiting for dinner to

be served. She tiptoed to the kitchen and found

it in a colossal mess.

Her harried husband, removing something inde-

scribable from the smoking oven, saw her in the

doorway. “Almost ready!” he vowed. “Sorry it

took me so long—I had to refill the pepper

shaker.”

“Why honey, how long could that have taken

you?” “More’n an hour, I reckon. Wasn’t easy

stuffin’ it through those dumb little holes!”

PSYCHOLOGY

A psychology professor had a bright class this

semester, and he was quite excited to start the

new section on emotional extremes. “Just to

establish some guidelines,” he asked, “what is

the opposite of “joy?”

“Sickness,” replied one student.

Glad to hear this response, the professor asked,

“What is the opposite of ‘depression?’”

“Elation,” responded another student.

“Excellent, class” continued the professor.

“Now, how about the opposite of ‘woe?’“

A student from the back of the room stood up

and said, “Sir, I believe the opposite of ‘woe’

would be ‘giddy-up!’”

SETTING GOALS

During the last session of our teaching work-

shop, participants were asked to state their per-

sonal goals for the immediate future. One

teacher vowed to update photo albums, another

to lose weight. The goal that got the most re-

sponse, however, was given by a slightly out-of

-shape kindergarten teacher. “I resolve to exer-

cise until I can complete a 20-minute workout

in less than an hour,” she said.

It’s about time to duck out, but just a reminder--

-Please forward your ideas, comments, ques-

tions, complaints, Atta-boys, suggestions or

whatever to: President PP Leon Larsen at 1-

Pecatonica Parade



BLUE HAZE CHOPPERS 2015 PARADE SEASON BEGINS

The Blue Haze Choppers opened their parade season by participating in what can only be described as

a truly “All American Parade”.

On Monday May 25, the Choppers and Indy Cars roared down the main street of Pecatonica. A town

that really knows how to put on a parade and hasn’t forgotten what a special day Memorial Day is.

It’s a day that has significant meaning to our men and women in the Armed Forces, all of us Vets and

especially to the families of the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Without

this, we wouldn’t be free to have this day and participate in this great parade.

It was great seeing other Tebala Shrine Center Units/Clubs such as the Loves Park Shrine Club, the

Clowns and the Air Squad, Motor Patrol, T Tens, Dresser Shrine Club in the parade. Great representation of

Tebala and a chance to show off what the Shriners are all about. Caring for our kids and caring for our commu-

nities that support us.

If any Shriner in good standing is interested in join the club and having some fun, just contact any mem-

ber. Ladies join us on Friday night Dinner/Meeting night. We go to different restaurants for a Friday night din-

ner & meeting and the Ladies join us. We have a Ladies division of the Blue Haze Choppers called the Blue

Hazettets. ALL ladies are invited to join.

Come on out for a good time, join the club, and join us for dinner with your ladies. Call it date night.

You don’t have to ride. But, if you want to ride, just need a pickup truck or trailer to transport a vehicle. The

club will do the rest.

Blue Haze Choppers would like to send along a “Safe Riding” message to all clubs and units for this 015

parade season. We look forward to seeing everyone, riders, non-riders, family and friends at the upcoming pa-

rades.
