Nobles and Ladies,

April was a fun and eventful Celebration for Moolah Shrine. To “re-cap” some of
the accomplishments we start with two larger commercial dumpsters to haul off un-
recyclable items, while many were donated to a good home as they were no longer
needed at Moolah. A new “Bride’s Preparation Room” was created in the former
Out State Club room, and a Youth Room is nearing completion in the former Provost
Room. Many hours of labor were donated on exterior grounds “spring update” and
our friend Splatters applied some fresh paint to several areas in dire need. New office
furniture was donated to upgrade our aging desk and cabinets, and we moved Diane
Kitsmiller’s office to a more favorable location. Better yet, we had a room full of
Fez’s and a little fun at our stated meeting, after enjoying the music from the band while enjoying a true “Masonic
Meal” of roast beef, mashed potatoes, and green beans for some. I cannot express my appreciation enough for the
support given to “The Pote’s Celebration”. I think most had an outstanding evening with GREAT food, a dynamic
band, and some VERY tasty Margarita’s.

Nobles, our Masonic Lodges are opening back up and starting to do degree work, I encourage each of you to support
their/our efforts. Mark your calendars for June 5th for a Hillbilly Degree, June 16th for a Ceremonial in honor of
Jeff Kitsmiller Sr. We are going to eat at 5:00 PM on the 16th with Ladies and guests invited to observe our opening,
limited business meeting, and most of the Shrine Ceremonial. It will be a Hot Sands Ceremonial of which the ladies
will not observe so get your candidates ready and the petitions in by our May meeting so we can vote on them. To
complete the month of June, The Potentate’s Presentation Ball will be held June 26th having been postponed from
February due to COVID. It is truly a privilege to serve as your Potentate with the support of the Nobility, for the
best Shrine Center in the system. Say your prayer, wear your Fez with pride, and make that extra effort to make a
difference in someone’s life.

Fraternally,

Ill. Sir Joe Shivley

Don’t Let Fear Keep You from God’s Vision
                                       By: Ron Reynolds

Anyone who has ever tried to do anything great has, at some point, come face-to-face with
naysayers.

•       When the Wright brothers tried to fly their first plane, people told them it would never
        work because humans can’t fly. Prayer itself is an act of faith.

                                                                                                       These we do not forget
•       When Moses led the Israelites across the desert, the people complained: “We’re going
                                                                                                        “Es Selamu Aleikum”
        to die! We want to go back to Egypt!”
                                                                                                      We do not lose the ones we
•       When John F. Kennedy said the United States would send a man to the moon, many                 love they only go before,
        people said it could never be done.                                                          Where there is everlasting life.
                                                                                                     Where sorrow is no more. And
                                                                                                     there the soul will always live
If these people had let the naysayers discourage them, imagine where the world would be              and peace is everywhere. We
today! While some naysayers have evil plans, not all naysayers are bad people. Some may              do not lose the ones we love,
truly want what’s best for you. They may even love you.                                               God takes them in his care.

But they’re not God.                                                                                              April
                                                                                                            Robert Buchta
    So don’t treat their opinions like you would God’s opinions.                                           Warren Groves
                                                                                                          Jack Heidbreder
The Bible says, “The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from that”              Richard Holmes
(Proverbs 29:25).
                                                                                                           Joseph Huighe
                                                                                                           Jackson Hunter
Some of you have been disabled by the opinions of others and you don’t even realize it.
                                                                                                          Charles Mikusch
Others have become addicted to the approval of others.
                                                                                                           Robert Narens
But consider another translation of Proverbs 29:25: “It is dangerous to be concerned with                    David Smith
what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe” .                                        Linn Thurman

Other people’s opinions can sidetrack you from God’s purpose for your life.

    When you give more weight to the opinions of others than you do to God’s opinion, you
    stay on the sidelines when God wants you in the game. You stay locked up in a prison of
    self-made fear.

Don’t let that happen.

    Let go of your fears and trust God’s vision for your life. He’s your biggest cheerleader. He wants you to succeed, and he’s
    working in your life so you will.

Hospital Referrals Update
                                                 By: Bob Berry

                         ello, Nobles. I hope you’ve signed up to receive weekly emails from our hospital. If
                         you haven’t, sign up by contacting John Agliata at JAgliata@ShrineNet.org.

                        The St Louis Hospital is still going strong and seeing patients throughout the week.
                        We are getting ready to renew and revitalize our volunteer program which will affect
                         some of you. Let me give you a quick summary update through this March. There’s
                         good news and bad news.

    First the good news: Donations to our hospital are above goal for the quarter. So, even in difficult times,
    generous people are trying to help through their donations. Temples and their units that support our
    hospital are ramping up as Covid winds down, to rekindle fundraising activities. We are also doing some
    Outreach Clinics (providing care to existing patients) combined with Screening Clinics (for new patients)
    at remote locations. Would your unit be willing to sponsor an Outreach/Screening Clinic? With donations
    up and cash being collected, we have ended the first quarter of 2021 contributing to the endowment (as
    opposed to drawing from the endowment). This is great news and reflects on our hospital staff and their
    efforts to keep costs low and to keep money coming in. We are also actively searching for a hospital
    administrator.

    The bad news is that patient referrals to our hospital continue to be down from where they were in 2019.
    We desperately need your help. We simply have to get more patients in the door. There are kids out there
    who need our help but need some help signing up. Can your unit help?

    Speaking of referrals, see the chart on the next page to see how the various temples in the St. Louis
    Hospital’s catchment area are doing compared to last year. As you can see, Moolah is responsible for
    referring 118 new patients to the hospital so far this year – but, we can do better! Let’s set the standard
    for other temples to follow.

    More news from the Hospital. The Imperial Board of Governors has decided to rename each hospital to
    better identify with each hospital’s mission. In fact, two of our facilities are no longer a hospital but are
    now ambulatory care clinics. Each facility in our system will now be named Shriners Children’s ________.
    So, what does this mean to the St Louis hospital? Our new moniker is now: Shriners Children’s St. Louis.
    You will start seeing this in written and electronic media soon.

 Things are starting to happen. Many restrictions and mandates have been lifted. People are going to restaurants, shopping
 at their favorites stores and visiting friends and relatives. Moolah is becoming a happening place. The Potentates’ April 10th
 Western theme party was a huge success. About 300 people were present. The food was excellent with the pork steaks
 labeled as awesome. The State Line Five band was entertaining, playing many well known Country songs. People had a good
 time socializing, eating, and dancing. It was a good feeling to return to some resemblance of normalcy. Better times are
 ahead for Moolah.

 If you did not attend the Ambassador April luncheon, you missing seeing old friends and enjoying a good meal. There were
 21 Ambassadors in attendance. You are encouraged to attend our May 14th luncheon. If you plan to attend, call Wally at
 314-498-6915 or send an email to wallygloria@sbcglobal.net. If you decide to attend at the last minute, please come. There is
 always enough food for everyone. At the business meeting Illustrious Sir Joe Shivley outlined the progress of our Circus. Billy
 Martin will bring a talented group of performers and promises to have an outstanding Circus. We WILL have elephants. No
 Circus is complete without them. Circus dates are October 7-10. Please plan on helping in any way that you are able.

 The Potentates’ Summer Ceremonial will be on Wednesday, June 16th at the Stated Meeting. Jeff Kittsmiller will be honored.
 He has performed beyond the call of duty. His extra ordinary efforts have brought in many new Nobles. Plan on attending and
 invite your lady. She will be able to view much of the initiation. Dinner will begin at 5 p.m., with the Ceremonial following at

 There are many Shriner activities that have been planned. Some are for May and others for the upcoming months. Review the
 Camels’ Tales for information on future, events and activities.

 Congratulations to David Schmucker as Shriner of the Month of April. He has been a member of Moolah since 1987, served
 as President of YOMO and was their Director for ten years. He is an Ambassador and also a member of the Order of the
 Quetzalcoatl, and Gateway 500.
 It is with regret to report another Ambassador has ridden the Black Camel. Art Goerke passed away a few weeks ago. He was
 a member of the Guides and worked Bingo every Thursday for many years. He was a “behind the scenes” worker who loved
 being a Mason and Shriner. He will be missed by all of us.

 Happy Birthday to all Ambassadors with a birthday in May.
 Once an Ambassador, always an Ambassador.

 Grand Lodge of Missouri
 Junior Grand Warden: Charlie Wiegert

 Greetings Nobles,

 I hope you know by now that all Lodges are back to work. And as you might imagine, most Lodges have a backlog of degree
 work. Hopefully many of them will be able to raise some Master Masons by June, and some will attend the June 16th Ceremonial
 at the Moolah meeting and become Shriners!

 This is an exciting year for your Grand Lodge as we are celebrating our 200th anniversary. Did you know the Grand Lodge of
 Missouri was formed in 1821, three months before Missouri became a state! We had a special celebration with a virtual history
 on Wednesday April 21st, the official day of our 200th anniversary. This presentation is still available to be viewed through the
 Grand Lodge facebook page and through the Grand Lodge portal. Give it a look, it’s very interesting!

 The Masonic Education Committee is presenting a Virtual Bicentennial Lecture Series, which you can watch for free. These
 lectures are on the last Sunday of every month. The next Lecture will be will be held on Sunday, June 27th at 7pm CST on Zoom.

 The material in this presentation is un-tiled in nature.

 As such, it is open to non-masons and Brethren from other jurisdictions. All lectures will be live-streamed to the Grand Lodge
 Facebook page and made available later on YouTube as well. There are a limited number of “virtual” seats for this event and I
 encourage all Brothers to lock their registration now. You may register on your Grand Lodge portal page. Zoom call information
 will be sent 48 hours prior to the Lecture. Questions, etc. may be directed to RWB Jacob W. Thompson, at jacobthompson1641@
 gmail.com.

 If you know someone who might be interested in becoming a Mason, you can be the 1st line signer of your candidate’s petition
 no matter what Lodge they join. Only 1 signer of a Masonic petition needs to be from that 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.

 High Priestess pro-tem: Lady Marcia Jacobi		           14-541-3393

 Calling all ladies of the Temple or your friends! Did you know that any lady 18 and over can join the Ladies Oriental Shrine of
 North America? The organization was born on February 14, 1903 in Wheeling West Virginia. The purpose was to extend good
 fellowship among families of Nobles. The Ladies of that vicinity felt the need for a fun night when their Nobles were enjoying
 their Ceremonials. The Nobles of Osiris Temple offered hearty acclaim to the cooperation of ladies and thus was realized and
 appreciated the promotion of Shrinedom throughout their jurisdiction. The order now extends throughout North America. As
 a result, the growth of the order Grand Council was organized in 1914 and incorporated in 1954. There are now 110 courts and
 a newly formed club in Mexico City.

 Speaking of fundraisers, we are having an income tax fundraiser now to help raise funds for the Grand High Priestess’s project.
 The Grand High Priestess chooses one item on the wish list of her nearest hospital or the last two have raised funds for all 21.
 Our income tax fundraiser is regarding your age, marital status, children, grandchildren etc. It’s a fun way to raise some money
 without too much work. Please call me for a copy.

 In May we will be having an initiation. We welcome new ladies to our Court with loving care. Come join us. Our motto this year
 is C.A.R.E meaning Cherish And Respect Each other and Children Are Reason Enough.

 Hoping to see you soon!

 The funds raised help offset the rising costs of insurance and other expenses the Mini Patrol incurs, and the event also provides
 Fun and Fellowship! If you would like to help out, please arrive around 11:30 am for set up.

 YOWAY 5K Anyway! This event is now live. You can run, walk, bike, kayak, swim…however you do it is up to you! The important
 part is to have fun doing it, while supporting both Gateway 500 and YOMO. Included is a very collectible race medal and a
 T-shirt/Medal combo depending on which package you purchase. This has been posted on Facebook and www.moolah.org
 under Event Registration. Registration ends on August 31st.

 Captain Heins has plans for a practice day for our carts. This is a time we can run and attend to any needs that our carts may
 have. It is also a great day to enjoy some fellowship and fun with our fellow Nobles. The date of this is May 13th and the obstacle
 course will be set up.

 As a reminder, we meet on the 2nd Wednesday of the month in the YOMO room. Please check your emails for updates. Also, if
 you are on Facebook please connect with Moolah YOMO as well. Ron sends out regular emails. If you are not receiving them,
 please let him know.

 The YOMO Presentation of Officers is on hold at this time. When we settle on a new date, we will let everyone know. More details
 to come, please check your email.

                         A huge Thank You at all who came and participated at the April Meat Shoot! It was an awesome day!

                         See you on the streets! Fellowship and Fun in 2021!

       homes. Thousands of people are hurt while using lawnmowers each year – these injuries can include deep cuts;
      loss of fingers, toes, and even limbs; burns and broken bones. However, many lawn mower-related injuries can be
                                         prevented by following some safety guidelines.
