Greetings Nobles and Ladies.

We are about to go into another one of those crazy times that seem like there is justno end to it.The calendars are jammed with things to do. The numbers Two, Zero, One, Six,will be gone before we know it. Please budget your time to attend the most events,meetings, and the parades that are left possible. Please understand that the businessmeeting is where it all happens. This is where the legislation is brought up approvedor turned down. This is when you see and hear your divan, trustees, and committeeswhat they have done and what they plan to do in the future. The 2017 budget will bepresented in November. Elections are in December. There are numerous fundraising

events that need your attention. Please, do not forget about the Motorcycle raffle which is drawn at thefamous end of the year party at the Syrian Shine. Committees will be ending their years and discussing andforming their 2017 committee years. All of the holiday functions unit, club and temple are just around thecorner. There will be another full ceremonial in November hopefully at the hospital. Looking at the way weare losing members and understanding how that effects and accelerates dues revenue shrinkage andmembership. Please stay informed how all of this will affect your tenure at Syrian Shrine. The potentialsare great. The opportunities are even greater. The need for all the active member’s involvement is critical.Please attend these last 4 business meetings for 2016. We need the nobility to budget as much of their timeas possible to all of the above as we so busily work towards ending the 2016 year.We need the young and our new nobles especially those that have joined the Syrian shrine in 2014,2015 andso far, in 20l6. We need our younger and our elder nobles all there together supporting the camaraderie theSyrian Temple and its membership are famous for. We need to pull this altogether and be the fun part ofmasonry and at the same time be all over the masonic fraternity, and maintain our image that we are theworld’s greatest philanthropy Shriners Hospital for Children. Thank you so much for all your support thusfar in 2016 and I hope you will put in the extra time needed to make 2016 a truly great year.

SincerelyArt WeingartnerPotentate 2016

September brought us together, having a great time before andafter our parades at Portsmouth and Cheviot leaving us with Aurora andpumpkin run in the early days of October. A goodnumber of Units, even our lady Shriners, participatedin the Harvest Home parade but not the support wehave had in the past. That is sad when we see how weare dwindling in numbers and support for our Shriners.A memorable drive for me was heading back homefrom Portsmouth on route 52 with a beauty seen bestof bike but still there to enjoy. Our Ohio pastures onthe left accented by the Ohio River. On the other sideis the beauty of our hills topped with the majestic OakTrees. Nestled in between is someone’s dream home hidden away from therumbling of the world around them overlooking the Ohio River. In closingI would like to mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, “Common Sense”who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old hewas, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. Hewill be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowingwhen to come in out of the rain: Life isn’t always fair: Why the early birdgets the worm: Maybe it was my fault: And make sure to Vote November.“It’s the lesson we learn from the past that show us the road for the future”.Essalamu Aleikum Sam MattarShrineGolf LeagueIt’s difficult to pinpoint what exactly makes golf so exhilarating. Some of us livefor its competitive edge; others golf to relax and escape. But for most us, golfserves as the perfect excuse to get out and enjoy the company of friends. TheShrine Golf League, is committed to supporting old bonds and fostering newfriendships through our Thursday morning golf league. Come out and join usnext year, you will have a “ball”. Richard Manifold, President.Hamilton Shrine ClubIt wasn’t that long ago that the Hamilton Shrine Club, was the most active andlargest Shrine Club under Syrian Shrine. There has been interest in resurrectingthe Hamilton Shrine Club, under a new name “Butler County Shrine Club”,with the growth of West Chester, Ross, Fairfield, Oxford and Middletown, theclub may be stronger with a new name, attracting new members, not just fromHamilton, but all over Butler County…You may not know this but Butler CountySheriff Jones is a member of Syrian Shine.

Hope to see you all in October plus some new faces.Since election is around the bend I am sure there will be several politicaldiscussions, so I am starting mine now. I will list some helpful tips on howto best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check you receivefrom the present administration wisely. 1/ If you spend that money at Wal-Mart the money will go to China or Sri Lanka. 2/ If you spend it on gasolineit will go to the Arabs. 3/ If you purchase a computer it will go to India,Taiwan or China. 4/ If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico,Honduras and Guatemala. 4/ If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan orKorea. 5/ f you purchase useless stuff or Harley parts, it will go to Taiwan.6/ If you pay your credit card off, or buy stock, it will go to upper managementbonuses and they will hide it offshore. Instead, keep your money in Americaby: 1/ Spend it at yard sales. 2/ Go to ball games. 3/ Spending it on womenor men of the street. 4/ Purchase Local Beer and tattoos. These are the onlybusinesses still operating in the US. In conclusion: Go to the ball game witha tattooed man or woman that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day!No need to thank me, I am just glad I could be of help. Sam Mattar 227-7260

Circus DirectorI must take this opportunity to discuss Circus 2017. As we all know thecircus dates of February 3,4 and 5,2017 are in place contractually for 2017and 2018. It is obvious that there is not enough time to earn all the moniesneeded to reduce the risk of putting on the Circus. Once the calendar turnsover to 2017 we will have just 4 weeks until Circus Showtime. If we wait toact that is not enough time to earn a profit. We need to act now. We have allbeen asked to make our $40.00 Mom and Dad’s donations, Buy and sellactivity book ads and banners, purchase one liners and buy all the ticketspossible for our friends and relatives and pull this circus off one more time.In 2016 our circus office took in over $33000 in just ticket sales. That was 28.4% of the total ticketsales. This was a huge and valiant effort. What I am saying here is simple both the BBT box officerevenues and the Syrian shrine secondary box office revenues are both needed for the Shrine circus tocontinue. Again Both are needed. Neither one by itself is a stand-alone operation. Noble input of$33000 in ticket sales plus is needed. In order to offset dues revenue shrinkage in 2017 and future duesrevenue shrinkage. This needs to happen year after year after year. Think about it follows basic logic.If our membership numbers reduce each year our circus office which is basically our nobility’scontribution to ticket sales must increase. The noble input has to be buy and/or sell and/or buy and sellthe tickets. Anyway and every way possible. 2017 is the 96th running of the Syrian Shrine Circus wejust have to make it to the l00th year. Please start now to support the Shrine circus 2017 thru ShowtimeFebruary 3,4,5, 2017. Put in the extra effort starting now and initiate and maintain the momentum.Yours in Faith, Art WeingartnerCircus Director 2017
