The Bridge would like to see a full ship of the old and the new with a greater attendance at every meeting and event. I encourage all members to get active in what we are doing in 2009 and have a voice! A Special Mariner Wave to Past Potentate Dick Phillips. Welcome aboard the Mariners Club! A Tip of the fez to the Commodore, Dave Wiley, and all the dedicated Mariners who have worked hard on revitalizing the camp! The camp revitalization project is a top priority for our Commodore and the Bridge this year. Every Mariner is encouraged to get involveed with the work days & bring our camp back to life! Also, from Past Potentate, Past Commodore Ronnie Markham. I have been asked by him to encourage every Mariner to join the IASYC (International Association of Shrine Yacht Clubs)!

Discussed Business and Motions: Also, the time is upon us to start selling those much needed ad sales! In the past few years, the commissions we have earned from these sales have gave our club much needed revenue to support our club and great temple. The membership approved funds with a not to exceed amount for the camp revitalization project. Also, be looking soon for a new committee chaired by Wendell Webster that is volunteering their time to call all Mariners on times and dates of upcoming events.

Although there presence is missed & remembered, we all stand by their side. Our goal in 2009 is again to aim for success! Participation, Planning, Attendance, & Membership needs to be our focus! I look forward to watching this club s membership grow through camaraderie & making decisions through careful planning and execution! I want to reemphasize that our monthly meetings are now at the river camp the 3 rd Wednesday of every month. The Mariners continued focus is and always will be to give a 100% in any job we take on and generate revenue for our club to help the temple and the hospitals in any way possible!

Looks like the unit did a great job with our Vidalia Onion Sales campaign this year, selling over a hundred bags more than last year. Great job, Nobles & thanks to Past Captain Dave Schnakenburg for heading up this year s sales program. Speaking of sales, the 76 th annual Hadi Shrine Circus Ad Sales program has kicked off, and we can use each unit member s help in, at the very least, buying one and selling one ad this year. If we could get every unit Noble to participate in this program, we would see the same type of success as in our Onion Sales. So when 1 st Lt. Chad Emsweller contacts you about circus ads, let him know you re willing to help! Thanks also to Chad & the officers for the great hospitality at the Pote s Ball. Everyone who attended had a great time, and teaming up with the Nobles from Gibson and Pike Co. insured there was plenty of food and refreshment for all. Our first parade opportunity this year will be the spring ceremonial on May 2 nd. Break out the white coat, and join us as we welcome new nobles to our great fraternity. Plan on making a day of it, and join all the Nobles at the temple. Better yet, sign a petition and bring in a new member! The Arabian Room is having a Mother s Day Buffet this year, a great way to reward Mom, or Grandma, and treat yourself to some great food and first-class service. We had a unit table in the Arabian Room before the meeting in April, had a nice crowd, but can always use a few more, so plan to join your fellow Color Guard Nobles and ladies for a great buffet dinner before our next meeting, which is Friday, May 1 st at 7:00 pm in the unit room. Hope to see you all there! PATROL POINTS By: Angelo Ruehmkorff / Secretary~09 arabpatrol@hotmail.com Having fun and helping kids!

6 ~~May ~May ~~ Entertainment FRIDAY, MAY 1 st SCOTT SUBLETT ~ Vocals & Guitar 6:00 PM FRIDAY, MAY 8 th Dueling Pianos Featuring: CAROL RODENBERG & MAT CLARK 6:00 PM FRIDAY MAY 15 th, 22 nd and 29 th SCOTT SUBLETT 6:00 PM KID S EASTER PARTY By Phil Smith Folks, the Easter Bunny came to Hadi and the hundred or more kids attending had a ball. From the look of things, everyone had a ball. If you didn t have a good time on Good Friday Night you must have missed the Kid s Easter Party. Check out the pictures on the web for a look at Hadi Temple entertainment. The children got to sit on the Easter Bunny s lap and have their picture taken by members of the Funsters. Then they got an Easter basket, candy and stuffed bunny. The Funsters came out in force, painting faces (what great art work they did) and they made every kind of balloon thing you can imagine. I think they spent the winter practicing. I thank them for their great support of this Hadi Temple event and giving our kids and grand kids great memories. This night was what family is all about. But it could not have happened without the help of so many people in the background doing the work. Thanks, to all who helped decorate and brought cookies for the kids and big kids to munch on. A big thanks goes to everyone who worked during the Kid s Easter party and made it a big success. It was your help that made it so. I appreciate the Easter Bunny & her helper giving up their anniversary night to entertain the kids. The magician was such a hit, he has been asked to come back next year. He kept the kids and their folks entertained with his slight of hand and magic. The kids loved taking part in his act and family members took many, many pictures. If you missed it this year, it was your loss. Make plans to be there in Absolute Solutions, Inc. Need a website or know someone who does?
