3 HAWAII ISLAND SHRINE CLUB Aloha Nobles and Friends, The Shrine Club meets every third Thursday of every month. This month our meeting is on December 19 th at 7:00 pm in Teter Hall. If you are a Nobel, or a just Mason who believes in helping kids, please feel free to join us. The last of the year is December 4 th thru the 6 th at the Hilo Arc so if you can spare some time they can really use the help with the kids. Other than the Shine clinic, nothing very exciting is going on right now, but we will still be getting together to talk up a good story and wash it down with the liquid refreshment of your choice. Aloha Secretary / Treasurer ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR HAWAII CHAPTER NO.1 Aloha Sisters and Brothers, With the fall behind us, I am full of gratitude & thanksgiving. We hosted our MWGP Brother John Grobler, as well as eight other visitors the first weekend of November, and all shared in making lasting memories. The dinner at Sky Garden cafe was well attended on Sunday evening, with much joy and laughter! The following evening was our November stated meeting. We started with a member potluck prior to the meeting and dessert following. It was all so good! It was especially nice to have the stations filled and still have sideliners! I am sure we made a lasting impression that our visitors will always cherish. Mahalo to you all! Just in case this is out before the end of November, Manapua pick up is November th. A reminder, if you are picking up several, call ahead so they have enough made of what you like. The last of the year is December 4-6. This is a change of schedule so those who signed up for shifts let me know if you are still available asap. Please give me a call or e mail if you can volunteer some time.

5 SCOTTISH RITE Greeting Brothers, What is Scottish Rite? Although there is no higher degree than that of Master Mason, the 29 degrees of the Scottish Rite serve to enrich the philosophy of the Symbolic Lodge. A Mason who chooses to further his Masonic experience by becoming a 32 Scottish Rite Mason will be expanding upon the fundamental principles of Freemasonry. The moral and ethical lessons will allow him to be constantly reminded of his duty to God, Family, Country, and his Fellow Man. As your Venerable Master I am committed doing whatever I can to revitalize Hilo Scottish Rite. So if you have any ideas as to how we can best accomplish this, please do not hesitate to bring them to my attention. Aloha and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Venerable Master From the Secretaries Table Aloha, Brethren, Please don't miss our November AASR meeting this Saturday, 10 A.M. Nov 23, at Kona Masonic Temple. The Rite will treat lunch for all (no host bar). See you there! Also since our regular Stated Meeting in December would fall on the 26 th (the day after Christmas) a dispensation has been approved to cancel it. Our next Stated Meeting will be on January 30, Dan Kelley dgnsandrak@inbox.com Newsletter Team Editor & List: Lyle Phillips Phone: lgphillips@hawaii.rr.com
