A parade wouldn’t be a parade<br />
without Shriners! We checked with<br />
some of the Osman Units and got this<br />
tentative list of parades scheduled for<br />
this summer. Though far from<br />
complete, this list is impressive.<br />
Reminder: your Temple dues need to be paid before you can participate in any parades,<br />
you will not be covered by the Temple insurance.<br />

Behind the Kart-riding, clowning and horn-tooting,<br />
these Units are spreading the message of Shriners’<br />
philanthropy: “We parade so they can walk.” There<br />
are hundreds of parades throughout Minnesota and<br />
surrounding states each summer, and through the<br />
efforts of dozens of Shrine Units, many will have at<br />
least one Shrine Unit participating. Check over the<br />
list, and if you have a spare afternoon or evening,<br />
come to a parade! Better yet, join a Unit so you can<br />
participate!<br />
Summary of Imperial <strong>2012</strong>, Continued from page 4<br />
Grand Master of Arkansas, who was rumored to be in<br />
attendance, also agreed. Not sure if he should expel himself<br />
given that he attended a Shrine event. We will report back to<br />
you any actions taken by either party.<br />
Families can ride in Parades<br />
On a happier note, legislation was passed that allowed wives<br />
and children to participate with the members of the Shrine in<br />
civic parades with the permission of the Potentate. This means<br />
basically riding along or marching with the Shrine. Family<br />
members cannot drive maneuvering vehicles and ride in a<br />
vehicle with nothing less than 4 wheels. As I get the final<br />
wording from headquarters, I will be in contact with the<br />
various Units and discuss their requirements.<br />
Imperial 2013<br />
As noted earlier, the 2013 Annual Session of Shriners<br />
International is in Indianapolis. It is about 570 miles, a 10<br />
hour drive to Indianapolis. Imperial is the largest assembly of<br />
Shriners and is a lot of fun. Chief Rabban Don Harmsen is<br />
investigating the cost of hotel rooms. You can get a glimpse of<br />
what is in store by visiting www.imperial2013.com. Also keep<br />
in mind that Imperial will be in Minneapolis in 2014.<br />
