If you have some hardship, call me and see what can be done. We can't afford to lose any more members. As of this writing we have 150 Nobles that haven't paid their 2009 dues. Music with a Masonic ring to it http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=4oFeKJKoaKc Nobles and Ladies, Great Lakes Ceremonial Session will be in Rockford, Illinois, hosted by Tebala Shriners, September 24 – 26, 2010. We had several Clubs and Units represented last year in Merrillville and hope to have even more this year in Rockford. We have a block of rooms reserved at the Baymont Hotel, across the street from The Clock Tower Resort and Conference Center. The rooms will be assigned first come, first serve, so get your reservation in to the recorder as soon as possible. Rooms are $109.00 per night, plus tax (approximately $125 per night total), and include a continental breakfast. A credit card and $20.00 binder fee are required for each reservation so please provide these to John Winters with your reservation. All reservations must be to John by August 10 or the rooms can be released, by the hotel, for other groups. The parade is Saturday, through downtown Rockford, and ends at a park where we’ll attend the afterglow. (According to the schedule – “Must purchase wristbands with pins for refreshments.”) In addition to the GLSA events, we have a nice hospitality room reserved for the week-end and a steak fry planned for Saturday night. Steak fry tickets are available at Circus Park for $20.00 per person until September 17. To allow for planning and purchasing the steaks, etc., no dinner tickets will be sold in Rockford. Hope to see you all there! Yours in the Faith, High Priest and Prophet Al Basner & Lady Ginny

When is our turn? (Shrine Band in Frankenmuth)
Meet Connor
Having no prior indication of the condition, Jack and Kelly Wright were stunned when their son, Connor, was born May 27, 2006, with a bilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP). The Wrights were not sure of their next step.
“Our emotions ran the full gamut,” says Kelly, “we were shocked, scared, upset and confused.”
Shortly after arriving home from the hospital, a local Shriner told Jack and Kelly of Shriners Hospitals for Children – Chicago. The family’s first visit confirmed their prenotion that the hospital was a special place: the staff provided the information, support, and care that the Wrights were looking for.
Connor’s initial CLP team was comparable to a small army! By meeting with a psychologist, dentist, orthodontist, plastic surgeon, surgical nurse, social worker and audiologist, the Wrights felt as though questions were thoroughly answered and their choices laid out for them. Mary O’Gara, director of the cleft/craniofacial team at the Chicago Shriners Hospital, explained the Wrights options at length and clarified what the family should be looking for in a doctor and medical care.
To date Connor has had his lip and palate repaired as well as three sets of ear tubes. Connor, or “C-man”, can be found riding his bike, swimming, and hitting the golf ball. A family who loves sports and the outdoors, summer nights call for grilled cheeseburgers and smores at the Wright household.
“Shriners hospital is all about making the child feel healthy, normal, and special. Every visit is filled with doctors who know Connor’s name and who know our family,” says Kelly.
The Wrights are quick to express their gratitude for Connor’s care, and have spearheaded an annual golf tournament fundraiser to benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children. The event tied in perfectly with the family’s athletic expertise.
“Shriners hospital was an answer to our prayers. Not only did we feel we were able to provide our son the best treatment for immediate care, but we also knew we would be able to provide him with long-term care,” says Kelly, “That is the most unimaginable comfort for our family of five.”
