POTE’S NOTES Continued from page 3 celebrate together at the St. Paul Masonic Center on Plato. More information will be coming as the date gets closer. On the 15th, Tax day, Roger and John put together a circus workers appreciation party at the Osman Event Center that was almost as fantastic as the show they put together. The socializing and the story telling was going on to a point where they had trouble getting everyone settled down so we could start eating. We were all having so much fun I think Geri could have served hot dogs and beans and we all would have a great time. But in true Lost Spur style Geri and Chef Mike put out a spread that couldn’t be beat. But the Lost Spur/Osman Event center really shined the next night. The 16th was the 78th anniversary of the Lynnhurst Dinner. For those who don’t know what that is, don’t feel bad. I didn’t know a whole lot Membership Report e ree R’s of Osman e three R’s of Osman are Recruitment, Restoration and Retention. Osman has a membership of 1183 Nobles, with around 130 who haven’t yet paid their 2013 dues. If you are first line signers for 2 new nobles of Osman this year 2013, your 2014 Osman dues of $55.00 will be paid all you have to pay is the Per-Capita and Hospital assessment of $20. My committee has challenged the about it myself. The Dinner was started as a celebration for the new incoming Minnesota Grand Master. It started as a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. I talked with some of the senior members from Lynnhurst Lodge and tried to get as much information as I could. Originally it was held at the lodge but when they suffered the fate of so many other lodges and sold their building they moved the event to Zuhrah Shrine Temple. After Zuhrah sold their temple the Brothers moved the event to a hotel in downtown St. Paul. I didn’t make it to that event but I was told by people that went last year that it was “a lot like our Hufli, only not as good”. Someone suggested that they try the Lost Spur and I think everyone was very pleased with the outcome. The staff at the Lost Spur served 30 tables of Master Masons and everything went great. I heard a lot of compliments and I hope they continue having the event at Osman. Lynnhurst Lodge has changed their name to Templar Divan of Osman to bring in 2 new Nobles each, and also each Club or Unit to bring in 2 new Nobles each. Remember to take advantage of Shriners Sunday Fun-day which are the 3rd Sunday of the month. Bring a new candidate for the Shrine for dinner and fun. Don’t forget the Spring Ceremonial at the Masonic center on Plato. Come in your Unit uniform and bring a candidate. The Membership committee. Lodge and I want to personally thank the planning committee for giving Osman an opportunity to shine. Lastly, I would like to remind everyone about our upcoming Ceremonial. Get your petitions in and our ceremonial team will put on a great show for the new nobles. May 4th is the date and it will be at the Masonic center on Plato. While at the Lynnhurst dinner the new Grand Master, David E Olson, asked about possibly putting on another Big Tent Event, like last year. My counterpart from Zuhrah, Al, and I talked it over and we are going to see if we can make it happen. We’re getting a late start but I think we can make it happen. Thanks for everything. We sure are lucky to be Shriners. Es Selamu Aleikum Don Harmsen, Potentate 2013 WHO IS THIS CUTE LITTLE FUTURE SHRINER? SEE PAGE 30 P a g e 4 M a y 2 0 1 3
