Pote’s Notes<br />
What a fun filled month April has been!<br />
We all started the month with the 90th<br />
annual OSMAN SHRINE CIRCUS. We<br />
had, what I think, one of the, if not the best<br />
circus I have ever seen. The Chicago Boyz<br />
and the motorcycle acts kept everyone on<br />
the edge of their seats.<br />
We haven’t heard an exact number yet<br />
but our circus manager, John Davenport<br />
told us we had a number very close to<br />
30,500 total people for all ten shows. Let’s<br />
all give a tip of our cap to Chief Rabban,<br />
Roger Berge and the entire circus<br />
committee. We sold all of our light up toys<br />
and even though we bought twice as many<br />
as last year we ran out of the five foot tall<br />
blow up aliens. Let’s all hope we can keep<br />
this positive trend going and just keep<br />
getting better and better shows.<br />
Then after just enough time to get<br />
An enthusiastic Shriner, George Carlson,<br />
gave Illustrious Sir Don Harmsen a<br />
document on the history of the<br />
horseshoe. I loved it so much I<br />
had to share it with all of you.<br />
The belief in the magic or<br />
superstition of the horseshoe has<br />
been shared by the savage as well<br />
as the nobility for at least 5,000<br />
years!<br />
So predominant was the belief that<br />
the horseshoe possessed mystic powers to<br />
dispel the devil that there was, at one time, a<br />
horseshoe engraved on the tile of the porch<br />
of Staninfield Church in Suffolk, England.<br />
The congregation seemed to have more faith<br />
in its presence than they did in the power of<br />
caught up on my sleep it<br />
was time for Grand Lodge<br />
of Minnesota. This year<br />
the session was held at the<br />
Marriott Northwest in<br />
Brooklyn Park. This was<br />
the first time I have been<br />
able to attend the annual<br />
session and I can tell you it<br />
won’t be my last. It is<br />
always a great time when I<br />
can spend time with<br />
people that share similar<br />
interests. We can all be<br />
very proud of MWB Brian<br />
Beerman. The ceremonies<br />
and the guest speakers and all the meals we<br />
shared made for a truly wonderful<br />
experience.<br />
Saturday the 13th was another first for<br />
Potentate Don Harmsen<br />
and Lady Terrie at the precircus<br />
briefing, Wednesday<br />
night at the Coliseum<br />
The magic of the lucky horseshoe<br />
holy water, which other churches of that era<br />
used for the same purpose.<br />
Long ago there were some<br />
who believed the origin of the<br />
horseshoe as a lucky charm is<br />
ascribed to a legend concerning<br />
St. Dunstan and the Devil. The<br />
Saint was widely known for his<br />
ability as a blacksmith, and, the<br />
legend goes, one day the Devil<br />
came asking to have his hooves reshod.<br />
Recognizing the Devil, St.<br />
Dunstan fastened him to a wall in the usual<br />
manner and went to work on the hooves<br />
with all the roughness of his muscular arms.<br />
The Devil screamed<br />
with pain and begged<br />
for mercy. As a price<br />
me. Along with Outer Guard<br />
Mark Galloway and Lady Lorie,<br />
and our Captain of the Guard<br />
Sean Gardiner, I was able to<br />
attend the open installation for<br />
the new Queen of Mat-Sha<br />
Temple #62. Sara Malewitz<br />
took the obligation for her new<br />
title. Outgoing Queen, Judy<br />
Moon did a fabulous job and<br />
I’m sure she will be there for<br />
Sara if need be. The ceremony<br />
the ladies presented was very,<br />
very impressive. Osman will be<br />
joining Mat-Sha Temple this<br />
fall for their celebration for the<br />
100th anniversary of the<br />
Daughters of the Nile. November 2nd is the<br />
date of their event and Osman will have our<br />
fall ceremonial on the same day. We will all<br />
Continued on page 4<br />
for releasing him, St. Dunstan is said to have<br />
extracted the promise that the Devil would<br />
never make his appearance where a<br />
horseshoe was displayed.<br />
A horseshoe over a door is supposed to<br />
keep away evil spirits and bring good luck to<br />
those within. If hung prongs down, the<br />
good luck will fall out.<br />
The Potentate’s pin with the star and<br />
tigers claws inside the horseshoe with the<br />
prongs up signifies the desire/wish of the<br />
Shrine always having good luck. The pin<br />
also represents how lucky we are to be<br />
Shriners.<br />
Thanks again, George, for this wonderful<br />
bit of information.<br />

POTE’S NOTES<br />
Continued from page 3<br />
celebrate together at the St. Paul Masonic<br />
Center on Plato. More information will be<br />
coming as the date gets closer.<br />
On the 15th, Tax day, Roger and John<br />
put together a circus workers appreciation<br />
party at the Osman Event Center that was<br />
almost as fantastic as the show they put<br />
together. The socializing and the story<br />
telling was going on to a point where they<br />
had trouble getting everyone settled down so<br />
we could start eating. We were all having so<br />
much fun I think Geri could have served<br />
hot dogs and beans and we all would have a<br />
great time. But in true Lost Spur style Geri<br />
and Chef Mike put out a spread that<br />
couldn’t be beat.<br />
But the Lost Spur/Osman Event center<br />
really shined the next night. The 16th was<br />
the 78th anniversary of the Lynnhurst<br />
Dinner. For those who don’t know what that<br />
is, don’t feel bad. I didn’t know a whole lot<br />
Membership Report<br />
e ree R’s of Osman<br />
e three R’s of Osman are<br />
Recruitment, Restoration and Retention.<br />
Osman has a membership of 1183<br />
Nobles, with around 130 who haven’t yet<br />
paid their 2013 dues. If you are first line<br />
signers for 2 new nobles of Osman this<br />
year 2013, your 2014 Osman dues of<br />
$55.00 will be paid all you have to pay is<br />
the Per-Capita and Hospital assessment of<br />
$20.<br />
My committee has challenged the<br />
about it myself. The Dinner was started as a<br />
celebration for the new incoming Minnesota<br />
Grand Master. It started as a turkey dinner<br />
with all the trimmings. I talked with some<br />
of the senior members from Lynnhurst<br />
Lodge and tried to get as much information<br />
as I could.<br />
Originally it was held at the lodge but<br />
when they suffered the fate of so many other<br />
lodges and sold their building they moved<br />
the event to Zuhrah Shrine Temple. After<br />
Zuhrah sold their temple the Brothers<br />
moved the event to a hotel in downtown St.<br />
Paul. I didn’t make it to that event but I was<br />
told by people that went last year that it was<br />
“a lot like our Hufli, only not as good”.<br />
Someone suggested that they try the Lost<br />
Spur and I think everyone was very pleased<br />
with the outcome. The staff at the Lost Spur<br />
served 30 tables of Master Masons and<br />
everything went great. I heard a lot of<br />
compliments and I hope they continue<br />
having the event at Osman. Lynnhurst<br />
Lodge has changed their name to Templar<br />
Divan of Osman to bring in 2 new<br />
Nobles each, and also each Club or Unit<br />
to bring in 2 new Nobles each.<br />
Remember to take advantage of Shriners<br />
Sunday Fun-day which are the 3rd<br />
Sunday of the month. Bring a new<br />
candidate for the Shrine for dinner and<br />
fun.<br />
Don’t forget the Spring Ceremonial at<br />
the Masonic center on Plato. Come in<br />
your Unit uniform and bring a candidate.<br />
The Membership committee.<br />
Lodge and I want to personally thank the<br />
planning committee for giving Osman an<br />
opportunity to shine.<br />
Lastly, I would like to remind everyone<br />
about our upcoming Ceremonial. Get your<br />
petitions in and our ceremonial team will<br />
put on a great show for the new nobles. May<br />
4th is the date and it will be at the Masonic<br />
center on Plato. While at the Lynnhurst<br />
dinner the new Grand Master, David E<br />
Olson, asked about possibly putting on<br />
another Big Tent Event, like last year. My<br />
counterpart from Zuhrah, Al, and I talked it<br />
over and we are going to see if we can make<br />
it happen. We’re getting a late start but I<br />
think we can make it happen. Thanks for<br />
everything.<br />
We sure are lucky to be Shriners.<br />

From the TICKET BOOTH<br />
Ladies and Gentlemen … children of all ages!<br />
Well – how did we do?<br />
Here is what I have so far:<br />
Our attendance broke 30,000 for the<br />
first time since 2008. at is a increase<br />
of about 2,000 fans!<br />
e odometer on our website rolled<br />
over at 100,000 visits, and is now<br />
reading over 120,000 total visits!<br />
Our advertising was first rate, and<br />
the show was fantastic! Roger Berge<br />
brought in e Chicago Boyz for the first<br />
time ever, and they were an<br />
overwhelming success!<br />
e Extreme Motorcycle Show was<br />
just unbelievable! Fans told us that<br />
either of those acts alone was worth the<br />
price of admission!<br />
Floor event sales were strong, and the<br />
clowns have warned me that we will<br />
need more photo covers for next year.<br />
Speaking of the clowns, did you catch<br />
their new cannon skit? Years in the<br />
making – it looks like Imperial<br />
Competition material to me!<br />
Sales were strong! Some of the<br />
novelty sales people got home early<br />
because there was not a light-up toy left<br />
in the house Sunday afternoon!<br />
Inflatables, snow cones and cotton<br />
candy, and wearable sales looked brisk<br />
too!<br />
Finally, there were about 200 happy<br />
(and tired) faces at the After Circus<br />
Party!<br />
Despite being “e hardest fun we<br />
ever had!” we all had<br />
a good time doing John Davenport<br />
something big and<br />
exciting together! at’s just the way we<br />
are at Osman Shrine!<br />
So, whether you sold, or directed, or<br />
assembled, or inflated, or repaired, or<br />
gazed into flashbulbs, or yelled “Getem-here!”<br />
or “Follow Me!” you were a<br />
part of what Osman Shrine does best!<br />
Whatever you did, wherever you<br />
were, we needed your help, and OUR<br />
circus would not have been the same<br />
without YOU!<br />
anks for another great year!<br />

Provost<br />
Our May 20th meeting<br />
will be back at the Lost<br />
Spur and the June 17th<br />
meeting at the Little<br />
Venetian Inn. Social<br />
hour is at 6:00pm,<br />
dinner at 6:30pm and<br />
Eric Seavey meeting at 7pm. July’s<br />
meeting will be the<br />
Provost Picnic. Please try to attend our<br />
meetings to socialize as well as to continue<br />
to make the Provost Guard a great Unit.<br />
e Osman Circus had quite a number<br />
of Provost Nobles working or attending in<br />
a social aspect. It was good to see so<br />
many familiar faces. We were able to help<br />
find a number of lost parents, did a great<br />
job in managing parking and working<br />
with the State Fair Police. I think our 1st<br />
Lt. and Chaplain Mike Brady must have<br />
helped hundreds avert a restroom<br />
emergency! ank you to everyone who<br />
Charlie Rios has a close encounter<br />

Sandstrom and Provost Paul Kuehl. SusAnn is a volunteer usher<br />

action with her oven mitts, pickle and construction helmet!<br />
came out to the Circus. Without your<br />
hard work the Circus couldn’t be such a<br />
successful and safe event.<br />
e Spring Ceremonial is May 4th at<br />
the Masonic Center at 200 E. Plato Blvd.<br />
in St. Paul. We could use the assistance of<br />
Provost Guard Nobles to help with<br />
directing parking. is is also a great<br />
opportunity to make a positive impression<br />
on our candidates, as a member of the<br />
Provost Guard is often the first Shriner<br />
seen at an event.<br />
e Next Club<br />
and Unit Meeting<br />
will be on May<br />
14th at 7pm at the<br />
Shrine Center.<br />
Officers should<br />
plan to attend.<br />
Other<br />
upcoming events<br />
in May are the<br />
Twin Cities<br />
Hospital Day and<br />
the Twins Game,<br />
both on May 17th.<br />
e Twin Cities<br />
Hospital is also<br />
celebrating its 90th<br />
Anniversary on<br />
May 18th. Come<br />
out for fellowship<br />
and a reminder of<br />
why we work so<br />
hard as Shriners.<br />
e Stated<br />
Mike Brady and Eric Seavey<br />
Meeting will be on June 11th at 6:30 pm<br />
and Provost Guard Nobles are encouraged<br />
to attend and help with tyling.<br />
e First Parade of the year will be the<br />
South St. Paul Kaposia Days Parade on<br />
Friday June 28th. I’m confident that,<br />
though there is snow on the ground as I<br />
write this, we will have a beautiful day for<br />

Sheiks<br />
Greetings<br />
from the Sheiks<br />
2013 is off to<br />
a great start with<br />
the completion<br />
of the 90th<br />
addition of the<br />
Shrine Circus.<br />
is event like<br />
Wally Larsen<br />
none other<br />
affords a great<br />
chance to renew and foster new friendships<br />
as we travel the trail of this brotherhood.<br />
Each event of the year gives our<br />
members a chance to join together as a<br />
Sheik while serving in some way where<br />
needed. No event pulls the Sheiks<br />
together more than the Osman Circus, as<br />
was witnessed again before, during and<br />
after our 90th Osman Shrine Circus.<br />
<strong>•</strong> Monday, setup day, found the Sheiks<br />
ready to get things started by assembling<br />
both Sheik booths while sharing stories<br />
of circuses past.<br />
<strong>•</strong> Wednesday, again, found a willing<br />
group of Sheiks ready to stock and<br />
prepare our booths with circus treasures<br />
that we knew would bring smiles to the<br />
faces of so many kids during circus<br />
week.<br />
<strong>•</strong> ursday thru Sunday, circus days,<br />
brought the Sheiks together as always,<br />
St. Paul Zagalas<br />
in strong numbers, with the<br />
help of several of our Ladies<br />
and friends. Circus week<br />
brings our unit together more<br />
than any other event of the<br />
year. Sheiks have always<br />
answered the call when it<br />
comes to our circus.<br />
<strong>•</strong> Sunday night, teardown<br />
night, found no shortage of<br />
willing Sheiks to finish the<br />
task of bringing the 90th<br />
Osman Circus to its close.<br />
Sheiks, like all the other<br />
Shriners, in our many clubs and<br />
units, work before, during and<br />
after our circus because it is who<br />
they are. We know the<br />
importance of our circus and<br />
what it brings to our great<br />
brotherhood.<br />
Special thanks! e Osman<br />
Sheiks have, as many say,<br />
“manned” their booths for many<br />
years. While it is true that we<br />
have answered the call of our<br />
Temple to work the circus we know that<br />
without the help of our families and friends<br />
our task would be overwhelming. e<br />
Sheiks have had several SUPER GALS<br />
work the circus for Osman as far back as I<br />
can remember. Some are veterans and<br />
Catherine Perron, Steve Hoyer and Sandy Perron. A<br />
big THANK YOU to the super gals who work with the<br />
Sheiks circus after circus.<br />
Pam and Jim Thoreson<br />
others new to circus week. We, the Sheiks<br />
of Osman, thank the following for their<br />
commitment to the Sheiks and Osman:<br />

Chanters<br />
Happy May to one and all in Osman<br />
land!<br />
We had a great circus in spite of snow<br />
and cold, with a full house more than once.<br />
e Chanters helped as always in<br />
assembling toys and ushering. Some of the<br />
fellows made every show in spite of back<br />
pains, etc. due to standing on concrete all<br />
day. However, it is a good time and<br />
worthwhile endeavor. We sang the<br />
National Anthem at the final show, with<br />
appreciated help from a few other Shriners.<br />
Jerry Launderville has been ill, and his<br />
wife also has not been well. He has<br />
whatever support we can offer.<br />
e Chanters sang as per usual at our<br />
last stated meeting. We are a small group,<br />
but the fellows are very dedicated and loyal.<br />
Remember the Ceremonial on May 4th<br />
at the Masonic Center on Plato. Let’s show<br />
up and let the new Nobles know they are<br />
welcomed.<br />
We have Hospital Day coming up on<br />
Friday, May 17th. is is always a good<br />
time and very informative. Nobles come in<br />
from all over Osman land and Canada to<br />
see and hear what is going on at the<br />
Hospital. Read about it in the next<br />
Osman.<br />
We are in need of a piano accompanist<br />
for our group. We need your help – your<br />
wife or neighbor may know of someone,<br />

Shriners International Awareness Day<br />
Shriners everywhere need to mark their calendars and make plans to participate in<br />
International Shrine Awareness Day on June 6. e date recognizes the day the<br />
Imperial Council was formed — June 6, 1876.<br />
On this day every year, Shriners will be asked to wear their fez, if appropriate, or a<br />
hat, shirt, pin or other item with the fraternal logo to help<br />
recognize fellow Shriners and increase awareness.<br />
We encourage Shriners everywhere to organize events at their<br />
temples or in their local communities and to invite the public to<br />
participate in order to increase awareness of Shriners. Other<br />
suggestions include posting information about Shriners<br />
International Awareness Day on your temple websites and in<br />
your temple calendar, publications and electronic<br />
communications. Be sure that each and every Noble knows<br />
about Shriners International Awareness Day and encourage them<br />
to participate. is day of recognition is an opportunity for every<br />
Shriner to share information about the fraternity, its history and<br />
the benefits of becoming part of an organization that is<br />
dedicated to fun, fellowship and philanthropic support.<br />

Directors Staff<br />
Greetings Nobles and<br />
Ladies,<br />
Since we are probably<br />
all tired of winter's snow<br />
and cold, and warmer<br />
weather is finally here, it<br />
is time to make sure our<br />
Kent Swedberg<br />
parade vehicles are ready<br />
for the start of the<br />
Temple parades. In May, we will get<br />
together to wash and wax them. We'll let<br />
you know the date and time in case you can<br />
help.<br />
Pat Gillispie “hooking” cotton candy<br />
Remember,<br />
the parade<br />
schedule is<br />
updated in the<br />
Osman each<br />
month. Please<br />
review it, and if<br />
you can make it<br />
to a parade, let<br />
Ron or Kent<br />
know. We look<br />
forward to a<br />
great parade<br />
season.<br />
I believe the Director's Staff had the<br />
distinction of having the oldest Noble<br />
working at our circus novelty stand. We<br />
thank Clare Law, who will turn 96 in<br />
July, for his commitment to the Osman<br />
Circus and are proud<br />
to have him on the<br />
Director's Staff.<br />
Gene Dunne sends<br />
his greetings from<br />
sunny warm<br />
California. He misses<br />
working at the circus.<br />
It's the first one he<br />
has missed in many<br />
years.<br />
At our last dinner<br />
meeting, we voted not<br />
to have any meetings<br />
in July or August<br />
because of our parade<br />
schedule.<br />

When the clowns heard the human cannonball act had been cancelled, they decided to<br />
do their own. What a surprise to find the human cannonball’s outfit on the target, and<br />
a slightly fried human cannonball stuck in the cannon. It was a great skit! anks to<br />
Fred Baisch, Tom Schultz, Wade Brooks and Larry Gustafson for the concept, and<br />
building the cannon and the props.<br />

Shriners Hospitals for Children - UPDATE<br />
Mayo Clinics and<br />
Shriner’s Hospitals:<br />
On March 27th, we<br />
announced to the world<br />
that Shriners Hospitals<br />
for Children is now the<br />
15th member of the<br />
Mayo Clinic Care<br />
Network.<br />
e great expertise of<br />
our Shriner’s Hospital<br />
System and doctors<br />
combined with the world<br />
class medicine and<br />
Douglas E.<br />
Maxwell,<br />
President &<br />
CEO<br />
research accomplished at the Mayo Clinic<br />
group will make our Shriner’s Care<br />
Presence, the premium pediatric care in the<br />
upper Midwest. is is something we can<br />
all take great pride in. We already have 8<br />
Mayo physicians seeing Shriner children at<br />
our hospital.<br />
During our meetings with Mayo, we<br />
were informed that the children of the<br />
inland Southwest are being underserved in<br />
orthopedic care. We have begun exploring<br />
Shriners Hospitals initiating our pediatric<br />
orthopedic care at Mayo’s new Hospital in<br />
Phoenix, Arizona.<br />
Follow-up Clinics:<br />
As I have traveled this Spring to the<br />
various regional Shrine association<br />
meetings, part of my message is to ask if<br />
the Shrine Hospital is quite some distance.<br />
is makes those 30 minute follow-up<br />
visits an all-day event for the mother and<br />
child and driver. I’m suggesting that the<br />
Shrine Center might want to begin<br />
exploring accomplishing this clinical event<br />
at a medical facility within their own town.<br />
<strong>•</strong> A medical entity that would have X-ray<br />
capability,<br />
<strong>•</strong> Preferably an orthopedic surgeon, but a<br />
general physician would be fine<br />
<strong>•</strong> A capability to allow Shriners Hospital<br />
to use the space frequently enough to<br />
take care of these visits.<br />
Richard N. Purcell, Divan Dennis W. Boom PP Earl J. Holcomb<br />
<strong>•</strong> Maybe one afternoon a week, or on an<br />
“as scheduled” and needed basis.<br />
is new concept is hoped to be able<br />
to help with our Shriner’s transportation<br />
budgets and cost and the hardships<br />
imposed on our patients families for<br />
those necessary check-ups. In addition<br />
our drivers, who always get up so early to<br />
pick up the family and drive them to the<br />
hospital for those early morning visits.<br />
God bless them all and keep them safe.<br />
Wounded Warriors Update:<br />
e interest shown by our<br />
membership this Spring to the news that<br />
we are going to be helping America’s<br />
Wounded Soldiers has been<br />
overwhelming and very heart warming.<br />
In January, I had my first meeting at<br />
the Pentagon with the Under Secretary of<br />
Defense for all Military Medical Affairs.<br />
e Under Secretary, Dr. Jonathan<br />
Woodson, first received the quick version<br />
of the history of the Shrine Masons and<br />
why this group of men have been<br />
historically so charitable and giving.<br />
Fortunately, Dr. Woodson, having<br />
done part of his residency at our Boston<br />
Burns Hospital, knew of Shriners skills<br />
and expertise and the fraternity’s history<br />
of talking care of those who need care<br />
without regard to the patient or family's<br />
ability<br />
to pay.<br />
He then<br />
said to<br />
me<br />
“Shriners are good people.”<br />
I then explained to him why we were<br />
offering our help. Shriners are patriots,<br />
many have personally served in our<br />
various conflicts and wars from World<br />
War ll to Korea, to Viet Nam, Desert<br />
Storm, and now Iraq and Afghanistan.<br />
Shriners Hospitals have very skilled<br />
physicians in our 20 US Hospitals placed<br />
from Hawaii to Boston, who are experts at<br />
helping individuals with missing limbs and<br />
the trauma associated with a sudden event.<br />
Our doctors are at the top of their field<br />
handling the constant adjustments required<br />
of the artificial limbs. Our multi located<br />
hospitals could save the injured soldier a lot<br />
of time and energy by coming to one of our<br />
nearer facilities instead of having to take<br />
the much longer path back to a military<br />
hospital with similar capabilities.<br />
Dr. Woodson did ask that if, in addition<br />
to helping those soldiers who have lost<br />
limbs with the prosthesis adjustments,<br />
could we also help with the scars they get<br />
from the blast flame that happens with the<br />
IED’s explosion? I reminded him that this<br />
is certainly another aspect of our mission,<br />
our reconstructive burns surgery.<br />
His next comment caught me a little off<br />
guard: “Mr. Maxwell, I know the Shriners<br />
and their humanitarian mission very well,<br />
and I know that what I am about to say is<br />
not at all why you are here. But each of<br />
these soldiers have very fine insurance<br />
called Tricare and Shriners will be offered<br />
this to help defer your cost of providing<br />
these services.”<br />
Again I re-affirmed his<br />
comment that this is not<br />
why we are doing this…<br />
but it will certainly help<br />
with all of the care we<br />
provide to many children<br />
from all over the world.<br />
In further<br />
conversation that<br />
morning, Dr. Woodson<br />
being well aware of our physicians being<br />
among the world’s best at what they do,<br />
asked if we could do exchanges of<br />
physicians with fellowships between the<br />
United States Military doctors and the<br />
Shriners Hospitals doctors<br />
And then we moved to the area of<br />
Research. Dr. Woodson could foresee the<br />
interaction of our two great Research<br />
Programs to come up with new cures for all<br />
of humanity.<br />
It was a very good first meeting.<br />
Yours in the Faith,<br />
Douglas Maxwell<br />
Chairman of the Board of Trustees<br />
Shriners Hospitals for Children<br />
Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Kenneth<br />
Guidera and Director of Research, Dr.<br />
Raymond Novak, have been meeting with<br />
Military leaders to discuss this new direction.<br />

Kachel, a professional story teller,<br />

remarkable life story of Beatrix Potter.<br />
She also read a Beatrix Potter story to the<br />
children. A very special “thank you” to<br />
Elizabeth Ekholm and Jan Kellogg for<br />

Hospital that still has an Auxiliary, and I<br />
thank these women for their hard work to<br />
keep our Auxiliary forward thinking,<br />
active, and vibrant. e next time you see<br />
one of these dedicated women, please tell<br />
them thank you for their many hours of<br />
volunteer work.<br />
Two important Hospital dates to mark<br />
on your calendar are May 17 and May 18.<br />
May 17 is Hospital Day which is always a<br />
very interesting day. is is an<br />
opportunity to hear what is new at the<br />
Hospital, and to hear from some of our<br />
patients and their families. May 18 is the<br />
90th Anniversary celebration for Shriners<br />
Hospital for Children – Twin Cities. We<br />
will also be celebrating the 90th<br />
Anniversary of the Womens General<br />
Auxiliary. It would be great to attend<br />
both of these days as this is what we are all<br />
about – helping the children at the<br />
Hospital.<br />
Also, you won’t want to miss our next<br />
Auxiliary events on May 11 and June 13.<br />
Please note that the May 11th event is a<br />
date change. is event was originally<br />
scheduled on May 18, but we changed the<br />
date due to the 90th Anniversary<br />
celebration. May 11 will be a luncheon at<br />
the St. James Hotel in Red Wing, MN,<br />
with an entertaining guest speaker from<br />
the Goodhue Historical Society. is is a<br />
fabulous location with many shopping<br />
opportunities in the area. Also, back by<br />
popular demand is our Auxiliary<br />
sponsored BUNCO Party on June 13,<br />
ursday evening. is event is for<br />
everyone. We had many men and women<br />
attend this event last year and everyone<br />
had a great time! We will again have a<br />
“make your own sandwich dinner” prior<br />
