Dieckhaus Nobles, I am honored and humbled to be elected as the 126th Potentate of Moolah Shrine Temple. I would like to congratulate Illustrious Sir Dennis E. Kelley on his fantastic year in 2014 setting the bar extremely high. I am very proud of our dedicated Divan and feel we are ready to move Moolah forward in the coming year. We have a busy and fun filled year ahead for you and your family. I ask that you take advantage of helping us make this a very successful year for all the Moolah family. I am excited to announce the appointment of Dennis Burkholder to the position of Outer Guard. Dennis is not a stranger to the Shrine fraternity as he serves on the Imperial Public Relations committee appointed by the Imperial Potentate. You will see Dennis everywhere you see Shriners. Dennis will be a great asset to the line of officers and Moolah is very lucky to have Dennis and his lady Cindy as part of the Divan. We have talked for many years about membership and of course we will continue to talk about membership again this year as it is the most important part of staying a growing temple. I have appointed Shawn Ruether as the Chairman of the Membership committee and DJ Herman has volunteered to be the co-chair. These dedicated young men have new ideas and are ready to move forward quickly. I ask everyone in the shrine to assist and become involved personally with the membership of Moolah. I am challenging each and every Moolah Shriner to bring in at least one Shriner this year. Just think how that would double our membership in one year. Do you accept the challenge? We will be continuing the Shrine Club Marshal positions that have been so successful since its inception two years ago. Monty Kennedy from Joachim and ECMO Shrine Clubs, Mitch Weinsting from Tiger Shrine Club will be returning and Bill Snell from NEMO Shrine Club is my new appointment. I would like to thank these gentlemen for proudly accepting these positions My motto this year is “Let’s be seen in 2015”, and I’m asking that each Moolah Shriner wear there fez proudly when out in the public. We have many exciting events scheduled for this year and I hope you will participate in as many as you can. We will start the year off with a bang, with your Divan traveling to the Shrine Club installations. Our first trip is January 3rd when we travel by bus to NEMO Shrine Club in Hannibal. Activities at Moolah will begin on January 4th with our First Annual Bridal Show and Event. The Clown Variety Show will be January 10th. The Potentate’s Presentation Ball will be in the Ballroom on February 28th. The ball will have a circus theme and be a black tie affair with your favorite circus accessories. (Use your imagination and have fun). This will help us kick off the circus season. All the Ball details are included in this issue. The Circus is at the Family Arena in St. Charles March 19-22nd. Circus Chairman Victor Dane promises to outdo last year’s event. Circus Kick-off will be at Moolah on March 7th with the Parade in Cottleville on March 14th. Please don’t miss any of these exciting family events. This year’s Circus Director Mark Rethmeyer will see to it that this is our best circus ever. Through the dedicated and hardworking Circus Committee and all the Moolah Shriners and families, I feel we will have another successful Circus. The Spring Ceremonial will be April 4th in honor of the Grand Master of Missouri, Most Worshipful David Haywood. And on April 11th the new hospital with be opening on the Washington University Campus. First Lady Christine will be hosting a huge yard sale on Moolah’s parking lot April 25th with the proceeds going toward the Moolah building fund. Later this year I have an Alaskan cruise and land tour planned for June 7-17th. I want to make sure I say Thank You to all the ladies of Moolah Shrine. Many of you belong to groups that support Moolah but also your support of your Shriner behind the scenes is greatly appreciated. We all know that you are not only behind us but you also walk beside us. Thank you Ladies for all of your hard work, support, dedication, and understanding. Many of our stated meeting nights will include bringing our ladies which seems to have worked out well the past couple of years. I am Proud to be a Shriner and I am proud to be your Potentate for 2015.

So we make “New Year Resolutions”, which are usually broken in a matter of weeks. Following that, many folks become pessimistic and become negative about what the New Year holds. So here’s an encouraging and “POSITIVE” poem by Edgar Guest, a famous poet and Mason. It’s titled “The Future”. “The worst is yet to come.” So wail the doubters’ glum. But here’s the better view; “My best is yet to do”; The worst some always fear; To-morrow holds no cheer, Yet farther on life’s lane, are joys you shall attain. Go forward bravely, then. And play your part as men. For this is ever true: “Our best we’ve yet to do.” Looking at the New Year, three thoughts came to me. 1-Humans lose the value of things very fast. “What was that we did last year?” (Have you noticed how fast time flies, the older we get?). 2-My time is running out. (I’m 78 and Scripture says the maximum life span of man is 70 to 80, and I’ve still got a lot to do). 3- Very few things are eternal. The New Year reminds us “most things are temporary; not eternal.” Then Scripture reminded me of three truths that ARE eternal. Truths that NEVER expire, or lose their original value. These truths, are of great importance because a New Year brings new challenges and these truths will definitely “help you slay your evil giants in 2015.” These truths come from 1 Samuel Chapter 17, the story of David and Goliath. Truth 1, vs.26 God is alive. Twice in this passage David refers to the Living God. Scripture “limits” our life expectancy BUT GOD IS ALIVE FOREVER. Truth 2, vs.34-37 shows God is faithful. David tells Saul that “the Lord delivered me” and will deliver me from the Giant. God never changes. Truth 3, vs.36 God is our heavenly Father; and nothing can take away my personal relationship with Him unless I explicitly walk away from my relationship with God. As a child of God, hold fast to these eternal truths and 2015 will be the year you slay giants. May God Bless and strengthen David and Christine Dieckhaus, the Divan, and each and every one of you in the coming year. Hospital Van Drivers Needed The Guides provide free transportation to and from the Shriners Hospital for patients and families seven days a week. Over 15,000 trips have been made. The Guides have provided the Hospital Van and the drivers since 1990. Each trip requires two volunteers, a driver and a rider for legal and safety reasons. Many days we have several runs and a few days we have only one or none.. This service has been provided by the Guides Unit for years and requires many volunteers. Ideally two people can volunteer to be the Van team the same days each week. Lately we have had some real challenges with having enough drives/ riders to maintain this long standing service for our patients and their families. The actual drivers need to be registered (short process) but anyone can assist as a rider until this is completed. We now need some volunteers from other Units in the Shrine to help us. If you would like to be part of this very rewarding service to our patients and the Hospital please contact our Van Chairman Lonnie Willis. 314 378 9093 or oldsalt48@msn.com. You may also contact Dale Nagel or Wayne Price. C T tm 6 We do not lose the ones we love They only go before Where there is everlasting life Where sorrow is no more... And there the soul will always live And peace is everywhere. We do not lose the ones we love God takes them in His care. November Loren D. Baurichter Walter E. Brame Raymond L. Hilderbrand Edward J.

But the Patrol has suffered two significant losses within our ranks in recent weeks. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of longtime Patrolman and Past Potentate Ed Kellogg. There is Craig Beffa who lost his battle to leukemia. In spite of his brave fight, the black camel took him from his Lady, Erin, young Maxwell and the rest of us way too young. To the Kellogg’s and the Beffa’s, please know we are here for you during this difficult time. A couple of dates to get on your calendars: 2.14 Patrol Presentation in the Patrol Room. Upcoming Patrol Notes will have more information. 2.28 Potentate’s Presentation. Now that the holidays are over, hope each one of us will resolve to attend meetings and Drill practice regularly. It’s never too early to begin preparation for Central States. As we know, maintaining our #1 status, year after year, is all about the preparation. And our new president and his leadership team can use our support. Summing it up comes down to two words…BE THERE!! A reminder…2014 Patrol dues are due. $25.

There W were so many events, parties and meetings that I can’t mention them all. But some of the highlights included the Clown’s Family Xmas party. It was great to see everyone pitching in to make this a memorable occasion for our families. A special thanks goes to Chopper (Terry Aaron) and his lady Janet for organizing this fun day. I’m told he even had some extra help from an elf named Jessica. One of the neat things that happened on this day was that Bob-O (Bob Holscher) performed his magic act for the kids who really enjoyed the show as well as a lot of the clowns. We had Gonzo (Gary Gonzalaz-Rubio) out making burgers and finished the day by taking on the responsibility of cleaning all the pots and pans at the end of the day. The Hospital Reunion party was as much fun as any other event we had this year. It was really great to see the improvement in their abilities provided by our organization. The Variety Show was the social event of the month. A really nice crowd watched some great acts and some funny announcers. A special thanks to Buckles (Dave Hartwig) for making sure the bar was working quickly and efficiently. Also congrats to Buckles for becoming Moolah’s Shriner of the Month. Merlin (Tom Dolan) brought the house down with his different impersonations of all the movie stars. Now we get ready for the Circus. A lot of practice and building going on to prepare for this fun time.

Our new slate, guided by officers of the past, give hope to a year of smooth sailing with many expected accomplishments. We’re looking forward to... 1. Recruiting basses, baritones, tenors, even monotones who like to sing...and if you don’t think you can, let us be the judge. We’ll even train! 2. Cramming our schedules with massive amounts of Sing Outs! If you know of any, just let us know. 3. Socializing with other units. 4. Partaking and enjoying many parties and other enjoyable gatherings. 5. Entertaining and helping where we can at OUR Shrine Hospital. 6. And anything else we can do to advance the cause of the Shrine. Our schedule for December passed, was as full as we could handle. But it wasn’t too busy...we’ve never been too busy. If anyone thinks they can cram our schedule beyond possible...BRING IT ON! We were very fortunate to have amongst us a very important Shriner who for his good deeds and outstanding service to Moolah and the Hospital was elevated to Shriner of the Month for December 2014. That fine and VERY busy gentleman is our own Noble Bill Bradford, aided by his beautiful and faithful wife of many disguises, Lady Nancy. Thank you Bill and Nancy. We are very proud to know you. If you were gifted to the hilt for Christmas and 2015 opened abounding with hope for your future, you are truly blessed. It is our hope all good things and all fruitful experiences are in yours and the world’s future. If you’re one of those so fortunate, carry it forward! Be a Shriner! Having exhausted my arsenal of platitudes and encouragements, it’s time to move on.

The residents get into the music, singing and just enjoying listening and seeing how much fun we have and how they genuinely appreciate our visits. This is an excellent way for us to promote Shrinedom and Freemasonry as we reach out to the community. We enjoyed playing for Brunch with Santa and the party for the kids from the hospital, as well as the Band party, where everyone had time to socialize without having to entertain an audience. Soon it will be Circus time again and we are looking forward to being in the parade at the new location in Cottleville. The City of Cottleville has a great St. Patrick’s Day parade which coincides with the Shrine Circus, and draws a huge audience. Another great way to promote our Fraternity and the work the hospitals are doing. We are looking for new members, especially Nobles who are interested in participating and spreading the word of what Shriners do for the kids by supporting the Shriners Hospitals for Children. You may be a Noble who is looking for a home where you can make use of your musical talents! If that is the case, please give me a call or e-mail and I will answer any questions you may have. Also, remember we are also a community band, so if your child or grandchild plays an instrument, he or she is welcome to play in the Band. We meet Wednesday evenings at 7:30 to practice. Our concerts are mainly Wednesday nights at 7:00 and on some Tuesdays. We would love to have you participate with us.

This Committee also helps with guiding young persons to our Youth Groups. If you have a son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, nephew, niece or young neighbor – please direct them our way.

We had a successful and delicious Chuck Wagon BBQ on July 20th and a Wine Tasting Party on October 11th. Both events will be scheduled again in 2015. The Lancers also participated in Rodeo Grand Entries. There were several meetings with the Lancers, local horse riders/clubs and Missouri Department of Conservation about a possible horseback riding trail to be developed in Robertsville State Park. Discussions will continue. Future plans for 2015 include horse show(s) at the Ranch and a tentative trail ride with the St. Louis Mounted Police. We were saddened by the deaths of several good Lancers...Harry Hubach(2013), as well as Norm Birtley and Ed Kellogg this year.

Plus, we will be hosting a crazy bowl at Olivette Lanes on April 12th, from 1pm-4pm. We hope everyone can join us for the extremely fun fundraiser, please contact us for more details. We will also be having our traveling opportunity to own, a 50/50, and other activities this day. We hope to see everyone at this unique event.

We initiated five new members, so we would sincerely like to welcome Carol, Lesley, Lorraine, Mindy and Susan to our ranks. We are so thrilled to have them and know they will enjoy our work for the children at Shriners Hospitals for Children. Quite a few of us and a couple Nobles accompanied the Queen to Omaha for Supreme Nile where we were given four Supreme Appointees. They are Past Queens Mary, Chappel, Linda & Suzanne. Then we were delighted to host the Supreme Queen Marsha Sowers visit where we had a wonderful tour of the old hospital, a luncheon and also a tour of the new hospital. We then held a ceremonial and had a beautiful banquet in the supreme Queen’s honor. October took us to a very successful turkey dinner and bazaar and then November 1st, another success was the Trivia Night. We finally ended our year by having a delightful pot luck dinner with our Nobles. Now we are looking forward to a new year as we draw Queen Anne’s year to a close and make plans for the 2015 officers to take office in March. We are still selling our sheets and always collecting items for the children at Shriner’s Hospital. Especially needed are gift cards and hand held games. There will not be a lot of storage at the new hospital, so the list of collected items will become more liked. Please make a resolution to join us on the 1st Wednesday of each month, except July and August. We miss you when you are not there.

Matt Wilson was missing. Nine of the 16 Charter members who are still Noble Lodge members were presented a certificate by MWB David Haywood. A special prayer by RWB Nickolas Cichielo and a moment of silence was observed for our 4 Charter members who have passed away; Tom Hunter, Alan Pinkstaff, Lou Heins and Ed Kellogg and 3 Noble Lodge members who have passed away; George Zidzik, James Andrews and Chuck Jabara. RWB Ty Treutelaar delivered an inspiring talk on the Masters Closing Charge. It was an exceptional night of brotherly love! Noble Lodge sponsored a MOCHIP program at Moolah Temple on Saturday, December 13th during the Brunch with Santa. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out. The lodge sponsored 20 families in need from the Pattonville School district, and presented them with a special gift bag that contained a gift certificate from Schnucks, Wehrenberg Movie Tickets, Moolah Shrine Circus tickets, toys and gifts for their children. It’s time to bring in a new member! You can be the 1st line signer of your candidate’s petition. Only 1 signer of a Masonic petition needs to be from Noble Lodge, the other signer can be from any Lodge. Keep this in mind if you have a candidate. It all starts with you submitting the petition for your candidate. The petition will be received at our next meeting, and your candidate will be notified. In most cases he will be invited to attend the next meeting, meet with the investigating committee, and then his EA degree will be scheduled. If you have a candidate for the Spring Ceremonial, now would be a good time to get him started! If you would like to help out at the next chip program, contact Dan Coffey to sign up at dan.coffey@att.net or call him at 314707-2126. If you have any questions, contact the Master or Secretary from the information listed above. President Vice President Secretary Treasurer commemorating Veterans Day.

After the introductions were made, our Honorary President Kathy Kelley, reminded us of the Bunco tonight and future Christmas Parties where volunteers are needed.

After the POG and WM we left for home with memories of another great meeting and a luscious Thanksgiving luncheon. Ymmmmm.
