APRIL 2010

POTENTATE’s ARTICLE Nobles and Ladies: They say “time flies when you are having fun”. That sure is the case with us so far this year. We have had a Valentines Dance, Temple Cruise and several visits to the different Shrine Clubs so far and all have been a blast. If you get the opportunity to go on one of the cruises, don’t miss it. We had twenty-four Nobles and Ladies on this one and it was a ball. We are heading into a real busy season for the Shrine and ask you to be involved in as many of the activities as you can. Coming up in the next couple of months is the rest of the Shrine Club visits with the 2010 Poster Child, Montana, SASA Midwinter in Savannah, Easter Egg Hunt at Iams Nature Park and the Mini Clinic. Montana has started off the year in a big way, already raising quite a bit of money for our Paper Sale. She has set a goal for herself and is already working hard to achieve it. Nobles and Ladies it is not too early to start selling Plaques and Certificates for this years Paper Sale. One of the other events coming up in April is the Kerbela Grand Rod Run in Pigeon Forge on the 24th. This event is made possible by the Innovator’s Unit but it is a Temple event - which we hope in a couple of years will be a major fund raiser for the Temple. There will be opportunities for all Units that wish to participate, maybe even to make some money for your Unit. Well, I’ve said enough for now-got to get back to being “On the Run, Helping Kids and Having Fun”. Respectfully Yours, Rodger D. Ricker |

Vintage Wheels What a winter we have had!!!!! I am sure everyone along with me are looking forward to warmer weather. It won't be long til we will hear the sound of lawn mowers everywhere and we will be fussing about it being to hot. I am looking forward to home grown tomatoes. Funfest is coming up very shortly. Be sure to get signed up. We need all units there and people to be in the parade. Fun will be had by all that attend. The valentine dance was a great success. Fun was had by all, and everyone was dressed very sharp! Several people had their picture made at the dance. Eddie and Kathy Beavers were there and looked very sharp. A picture has been made available for this letter, and I hope it will be published. Kathy has had some health issues of late, and it is good to see her out and about. I understand our past Unit Captain Bruce Nave also hit the dance floor with some of his famous moves. By the time you read this letter, all the roses will be gone and all the chocolates eaten. Time goes so fast. Be sure and attend the Divan's Units meetings. You also will be fed when you attend as well have a good time. Try to attend all functions and support our temple. We are in need of new candidates, so try to talk to anyone eligible. I am proud to be a shriner because of what we do for the kids. It makes me proud when someone tells me that their child has been helped by the Shriners. That is what it is all about. We need to remember our friends and unit members that are having health issues and pray for them. Remember our military and thank every soldier you see. They are why we have our freedoms today. It looks like some of the politicians are trying to tear our country apart. The ads for the circus books are coming up too! Contact all of the people who takes out ads, and try to get new ads. I will sign off wishing everyone the best ever. Noble Marvin Yarber |

The Kerbela Motor Corps would like to invite you and your friends to the BETS, BLUES & BBQ at the Kerbela Temple for an evening of good times and great food as the Kerbela Motor Corps members treat you and your guests to a sumptuous BBQ dinner followed by an evening of live action casino games, door prizes, and an opportunity to "cash in" your winnings as we auction off some great prizes. You'll also be able to party hard with Labron Lazenby and LA3, probably the premiere blues band of East Tn. Fresh from representing the Knoxville Blues Society in the International Blues Competition on Beale Street in Memphis, they'll knock your socks off with some great blues standards and a mix of rockabilly and jumpin', toe-tappin' blues music. In addition to a great BBQ dinner, our casino will have roulette, black jack tables, and bingo available for your enjoyment and entertainment with $25,000 in funny money for each ticket holder. For those who take themselves too seriously, a Texas Hold'em tournament will be ongoing while the band lays down some soulful blues for everyone to enjoy. The menu will consist of BBQ chicken, pulled pork, beans, salad and all the fun you can handle and all served by the members of Kerbela Motor Corp. right at your table. The world famous “Chef da-le BBQ Shane Merritt” will be in charge of the tastiest smoked meat you ever dribbled down your chin. Ticket prices are as follows: "A Pair" - $30 per couple. Includes dinner reservations, $25,000 in funny money chips, and all other activities. There are a limited number of these tickets available. "Royal Flush" - A reserved table for 8 can be purchased for $160 and will include special placards with names of your party at the table and 2 complimentary bottles of wine for the table. "Inside Straight" - $20 per couple available at the door with entry after 7:30 and includes all activities except dinner. Doors will be opened to the “Inside Straight” ticket holders at 7:30. For reservations or tickets, call or come by the Kerbela Temple and pick up your tickets, or contact any of the Kerbela Motor Corps members. If you can’t commit to a reservation for dinner, come on down and party by purchasing your ticket at the door. Doors open to the "Inside Straight" tickets at 7:30. . **Please note that the “Full House” tickets must be purchased by March 16th in order to secure your dinner reservation.** These tickets are limited in number. Last but not least my fellow Nobles and Ladies, remember our troops and local hero’s as they lay their life on the line for this great country. Remember all, “You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough.” Gods speed to all. Assistant Director Eric L. Matson |

Motorcycle Unit Greetings Nobles, Ladies and Friends: The Motorcycle Unit started the year off with a great turnout for our first unit meeting of 2010. It was great to see everyone and start planning our year of activities. Our captain Gordon Worley announced that our 5th Annual Ride to the Lexington Hospital will take place July 16-18th. This year our ride will try to hookup with the Shriners from Pikeville, KY who will hold their Christmas in July Ride that same weekend. Should be a lot of fun so make sure you mark your calendar. This has been some winter with not too many days fit for riding. I think everyone who rides is ready to come out of hibernation and hit the roads for some spring trips. The Motorcycle Unit is anxious and ready to brush off the winter rust and start practicing for Fun Fest. I know after having a great time at Fun Fest we will all be turning our attention to our Paper Sale. We really need to make a special effort this year to lining up those prospects for buying Paper Sale plaques and certificates. Our Paper Sale is not a one day event but a year round fund raiser for our kids and I hope everyone does their part to make this year’s Paper Sale a big success. Hope everyone has a Happy Easter. Remember our Easter Egg Hunt on April 3rd and the Mini Clinic on April 24th. As always remember our troops who serve our country and their families while they are away. Take care, be safe and enjoy life’s ride, Ken |

KNOXVILLE SHRINE CLUB Daylight Savings Time seems to come earlier each year. We had to “Spring Forward” whether we were ready or not, on March 14. My father used to say only two groups benefitted from Daylight Savings Time-fishermen and golfers. Easter was also early this year on April 4, 2010. Kerbela’s Mini Clinic is Saturday, April 24th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Nobel Ray Lewis, Chairman would appreciate your help during this screening day. You will come away with a good feeling. Kerbela’s Shrine Parade schedule has begun. Kerbela Van Drivers Unit and Knoxville Shrine Club were in the “Annual Holly and Shamrock Parade” in Gatlinburg on March 13th. The next scheduled Parade is the “dogwood Arts Festival Parade” on Friday, April 23, 2010. If you’d like to volunteer to drive the Van in the parades call Noble Fred Wyrick @ 938-9861 or 719-0200. The children’s smiles will warm the “cockles of your heart”. The Kerbela Shrine Paper sale is only a month away. Noble Hopson spoke at our February meeting and was very straight forward in saying that “this year we will need the help of every Noble in order to be successful due to the current economic difficulties of our Nation”. Our hospitals need our help to carry out the mission of helping children with injuries and disabilities. Let us herein fail not. Nobles, check your wallet and see in you have your current Knoxville Shrine Club dues card. Our dues are only $5.00 and we need every member. Noble J.B. “Bert Elliot, Jr. continues to improve on his road to complete recovery. This has been a most difficult time for him and Lady Maureen. Keep them in your prayers and thoughts. Please remember the young men and women of our Nation’s Armed Forces in your thoughts and prayers. I leave you with a quote from The Complete Live and Learn and Pass It On by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. - “I’ve learned that the worst thing in life is to be without love, but toilet paper comes in a close second”. Fred D. Wyrick, Secretary |

KERBELA ROANE SHRINE CLUB Greetings Nobles & Ladies: Two months gone with ten more to follow of 2010. March is the pivotal month between winter and spring, yet unpredictable. Those of us living in East Tennessee should feel blessed when we look at our neighboring states where they’ve endured snow by the foot-not just inches. Old Man Winter won’t be around much longer though. February saw Kerbela Roane Shrine Club visited by our Potentate Rodger D. Ricker, Paper Sale Chairman Bob Hopson, and the rest of the Divan and their ladies. Our Poster Child Montana Sauceman, along with her mother were also there and were welcomed and served a delicious meal prepared by the ladies of KRSC. Montana was presented with a $100 Wal Mart gift card. She is a beautiful young lady whose smile will melt your heart. Potentate Ricker and the Divan individually spoke of the Shrine and it’s continuing mission. Jack Rosette, P.P. Presented several boxes of cards promoting our hospitals with physical conditions treated by our hospitals on the back to be distributed to the public. In closing, I wish to remind everyone that our Paper Sale in May draws ever nearer. Despite the downturn in the national economy, people will open their hearts and give of their finances to help a child in need. We need to come out in strong numbers to collect the donations from those caring people we depend on to help keep our hospitals running and fulfill our mission of helping children in need of medical care. Remember our sick and shut-ins and keep our military service personnel in your prayers as they protect our freedom and our right to worship God above. God bless you all. Respectfully, Robert E. Lee, III President |

UNION COUNTY SHRINE CLUB Greetings from “the County.” I thought I had made a mistake, but since I caught it myself it is not considered a mistake. In the last issue about the music festival; .it should have read “the Union County Shrine Club” vs. “Masonic bodies.” The club is going to sponsor a Music Festival on Sat May 15th from 4 p.m. til ?. There will be Gospel, Blue Grass, C&W, etc. The groups will play for about 45 minutes and then the next ones will do their numbers until the last group plays at ?. There will be venders selling arts and crafts and many food booths (such as beans & cornbread, funnel cakes, spiral cut fried potatoes, pies, cakes, and the “famous” Shrine Club Applebutter and Chow Chow will be available for you to purchase, etc). We invite every Noble and his Lady to come and enjoy the day listening to the many local bands and Kerbela’s own Blue Grass Band. There will be plenty of good music plus several stands that will be offering food and drinks for sale. All the net proceeds from the gate and the Union County Shrine Club booth will go to the Paper Sale. We have already made plans to start selling circus ads within the next few weeks and hope to get more businesses than we had last year to sponsor an ad. A couple of new businesses have made their intentions known that they were very interested in our cause. Pray for those men and women in uniform for their dedication and service. Gary L. Thompson, UCSC Publicity Chmn |

Legion of Honor Our new members are sure making wonderful officers for this year. Our Adjutant Noble Kevin Poe has really kept on top of things and is keeping everyone informed of our upcoming events and meetings. There is a mistake on Kevin’s phone number in the Kerbela directory under the LOH officers. His number should be 865-696-1024. There are plans being made to have a dinner for the LOH to introduce the new members and their families to those older members who have been around for many years. When it is finalized we will be letting everyone know the when and where’s. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Legion of Honor let us know so you can be included in the dinner. More information will be forthcoming as the time draws near. We are also making plans for the Fun Fest and to be part of the parade. This will be the first for most of our recent members and should have a nice turnout. We plan on winning the 1st place trophy again. Remember those in uniform and pray for their well being; that they return home safely to their loved ones. If you are interested in joining the Kerbela Legion of Honor, please call me at 865-992-2922 or 865-591-4392 after 6:30 p.m. A Unit that is proud of its past service to our country, in war and peace.

Scottish Rite Article Montana, the 2010 Kerbela Poster Child, paid a rare visit on February 27, 2010. No it wasn=t to one of the Kerbela Shine Clubs or a Kerbela Shrine sponsored function. It was to the monthly meeting of Lakeway Area Scottish Rite Club. Although the monthly meetings are usually held at the Davy Crockett Restaurant in Morristown, the Lakeway Area Scottish Rite Club had been invited by Hamblen Lodge No. 767's Worshipful Master Michael Satterfield for breakfast and to not only hold the February Lakeway Area Scottish Rite Club meeting at the Lodge but also assist Entered Apprentice Masons to learn their lessons after the meeting. In addition to Montana and her parents, twenty-two Master Masons and three Entered Apprentice Masons were in attendance. Among the Master Masons in attendance were Illustrious Brother Robert D. Anderson, 33rd Degree, Personal Representative to the S.G.I.G; and Illustrious Brother Esco O. Owens, 33rd Degree, Secretary of the Knoxville Scottish Rite Bodies. Illustrious Brother Anderson had a few words to say about the upcoming First Annual Scottish Rite Charity Golf Tournament which will be held June 19th. While the Hamblen Lodge Brethren were preparing breakfast and afterwards at the meeting, Montana was busy selling ASmiles@ to the Brethren in attendance. By the time the meeting ended, Montana had collected $149 for this years Shrine Paper Sale. Montana gave each purchaser of a ASmile@ a cardwhich reads: AMONTANA 2010 KERBELA POSTER CHILD. Please help me help other kids. Let=s all do our parts for this years Paper Sale@. Fraternally Yours, Joseph Warshawsky, 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Membership Chairman Hamblen County |
