Austin Area Shrine Club & Oriental Band<br />
<strong>September</strong> brings the<br />
end of the parade<br />
season, and we will wind<br />
down with our last<br />
parade at Mantorville on<br />
Sunday, <strong>September</strong> 9th.<br />
Sure hope to see some of<br />
the other Osman Units Neil Hanson<br />
again.<br />
We have enjoyed the<br />
eighteen parades we have been involved in<br />
this summer. The interaction of the<br />
crowd, visiting with other Nobles and<br />
Ladies when there had been an Oasis.<br />
And, speaking of an Oasis, we would<br />
Max Pecht II charms a snake.<br />
certainly like to thank the<br />
Cannon Valley Shrine Club<br />
for their hospitality following<br />
the parade in Kenyon on<br />
Saturday, August 18th. What<br />
a great time. THANK YOU<br />
TO ALL WHO MADE IT<br />
SUCCESSFUL!<br />
The summer also brought<br />
a new addition to Oriental<br />
Band. We have acquired,<br />
with the help of Osman<br />
Shrine, an eighteen<br />
passenger bus. This vehicle<br />
will be used as our transport<br />
and tow vehicle in parades.<br />
Hopefully, we’ll also be able to use it for<br />
other Shrine activities.<br />
The bus was previously owned, and<br />
required quite a bit of work (which is<br />
ongoing). After several hours of sanding<br />
and stripping of letters, it was ready for<br />
paint. It was primed and painted. After<br />
it was painted it was ready for the road,<br />
and we learned that it had plenty of power<br />
to handle the hills in SE<br />
Minnesota. After proving<br />
itself, it was Osmanized.<br />
The bus is currently<br />
continuing its<br />
Osmanization. President<br />
Max Pecht II formed a<br />
committee that was<br />
responsible for the<br />
transformation and it<br />
included Brad Stout,<br />
Charles Van House, Dean<br />
Johnson and Neil Hanson.<br />
The Band Bus committee is well on it’s way to having the<br />
band bus “Osmanized.”<br />
Several other members of the band<br />
assisted in the sanding, taping of windows<br />
and trim, cleaning, etc. Dean Johnson is<br />
our official photo man, and we thank him<br />
for sharing.<br />
The <strong>September</strong> meeting of the Shrine<br />
Club / Oriental Band will be <strong>September</strong><br />
9th at George’s of Geneva. Details will be<br />
provided by the calling committee.<br />
