Dear Auxiliary Members and Friends of<br />
the Auxiliary,<br />
It has been great to see so many of you<br />
at the many Shrine events this past month:<br />
the Potentate’s Gala, Family Masonic /<br />
Shrine Picnic, MSA, parades etc.<br />
Illustrious Sir Frank and Lady Joan’s Gala<br />
was well attended and lots of fun. Many<br />
people came in costume which added a<br />
flare to the evening.<br />
You may have seen the news article that<br />
KARE 11-TV recently ran regarding a<br />
young boy in the Twin Cities who had<br />
been helped by Shriners Hospital for<br />
Children- Twin Cities (see page 10). This<br />
young boy has the same congenital defect<br />
that Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius has.<br />
Shriners Hospital for Children – Twin<br />
Cities made prosthetic legs for this young<br />
boy and the prosthetic legs were similar to<br />

Stephanie Norte<br />
(daughter of Captain of<br />
the Guard Larry Norte),<br />
Amanda Troester and<br />
Brooke Salfer worked on<br />
a project for FCCLA<br />
(Family, Careers,<br />
Communities, and<br />
Leaders of America) at<br />
Pine Island school.<br />
Their project was to<br />
increase the awareness<br />
of Shriners Hospital<br />
for Children, Twin<br />
Cities in their<br />
community, and to<br />
raise funds to donate<br />
to the Womens<br />
Auxiliary to be used for the<br />
wheelchair fund. We want to say thank you to these<br />
girls and their instructor for choosing this project and contributing<br />
to our cause.<br />
those of Oscar Pistorius. It is so wonderful<br />
to hear about the amazing work done by<br />
our Hospital. We are so fortunate to have<br />
a Shrine Hospital in the Twin Cities.<br />
Thank you to everyone who continues<br />
to collect pop tabs for the auxiliary. The<br />
office was overflowing with pop tabs which<br />
were taken out to the Auxiliary office this<br />
week. Thank you for collecting the tabs.<br />
We have three great Auxiliary events<br />
coming up these next three months. The<br />
first event is scheduled for Saturday,<br />
<strong>September</strong> 22, <strong>2012</strong>. This will be the High<br />
Tea Luncheon at the Lake Elmo Inn at<br />
11:30 AM, with guest speaker, Carol<br />
Schuelke, Director of the Radiology<br />
Department at Shriners Hospital for<br />
Children – Twin Cities. It is always so<br />
interesting to hear about the new things<br />
they are doing at the Hospital. An added<br />
attraction again this year is that the “What<br />
Not Boutique” across the street from the<br />
Lake Elmo Inn will be open for our<br />
shopping pleasure following the luncheon.<br />
Anyone attending the luncheon will get a<br />
15% discount on all of your purchases at<br />
the Boutique. Hats are welcomed at the<br />
High Tea Luncheon. If you have a hat, new<br />
or old, feel free to wear it; however, hats are<br />
not required.<br />
The next event will be on Saturday,<br />
October 27, at 11:30 AM at the Osman<br />
Event Center. This will be a Luncheon with<br />
guest speaker Eleanor Ostman, who is a<br />
food writer for the St. Paul Pioneer Press.<br />
The last event for <strong>2012</strong> will be on<br />
Saturday, November 17. This will be our<br />
Holiday event, “Christmas at the Swedish<br />
Institute” with a luncheon and tour. This<br />
event will be a great way to get into the<br />
