Happy Holidays

PROUDLY CELEBRATING 115 YEARS OF SHRINE MASONRY

PUBLISHED BI-MONTHLY
ELECTED DIVAN Message From The Potentate
FOR 2019
The time has come to say good-bye as your Potentate. The
Illustrious Potentate past five years have gone by quickly and have provided Su-
Joseph W. Rupe, Jr. san and I with many great memories and we have developed
many new friendships.
Chief Rabban
Stanley E. Johnston, Jr. I said in the beginning that I would not continue to do every-
thing the same old way as in the past, and we did break some
Assistant Rabban new ground and travel down new paths. I urge the new of-
J. Scott Burford ficers to break new ground because the way we have always
done it just doesn’t work anymore and hasn’t for sometime.
High Priest and Prophet
Michael J. Smith
We used electronic billboards for the circus, Walk for Love and membership. This type of pro-
Oriental Guide motion got Zembo exposure in the community, as well as stimulated interest in the Walk and
Lynn E. Shields, P.P. membership. We pursued and received a substantial reduction in taxes for 2020. A number of
hospital presentations were made to groups and schools.
Treasurer
Terry L. DiGruttolo In addition to the $15,000 raised for the Walk, Krouse Travel made a $300 donation to the
Boston Burns Hospital when a group from our cruise toured the Boston facility.
Recorder
Huey A. Long Unfortunately, we were unable to sell the building this year; however, our relator Bill Glad-
stone was able to show the facility to a number of groups who expressed interest. The most re-
cent hurdle thrown in our pathway is the published crime rate of the City of Harrisburg. While
Representatives To efforts were made to explain that our section of the city has not been a key target of the crime,
Imperial Council there was still reluctance by interested groups to pursue a purchase.
Joseph W. Rupe, Jr. Sadly, the Black Camel continues to thin our ranks by more than 100 members per year, far
Stanley E. Johnston, Jr. outpacing the number of new members. Without new members, it is becoming more and more
J. Scott Burford difficult for future Divans to control operating costs and meet annual budget projections by the
Terry L. DiGruttolo end of the year.

3Breaking The Ice
By Susan Rupe Zembo First Lady 2019
As I am writing this message, we are back home from the Potentate’s Cruise to New England
and Canada. Joe and I had never been on a cruise before, and we really didn’t know what to
expect, but we had a wonderful time. We visited some interesting ports, and our at-sea time
was relaxing. And we ate like there was no tomorrow!
A few things stood out while we were on the cruise. The first was our visit to Shriners Hos-
pital Burns Center in Boston. The staff at the hospital rolled out the red carpet for the Zembo
members and their ladies who toured the facility. The hospital board chairman ran to his car
and got his fez so that he could be just another Shriner while we were there!
Shriners Hospitals truly are places where miracles happen. When you visit a hospital, the staff, patients and parents can’t
do enough to express their gratitude for the Shriners’ support. As for those of us who were visiting from Zembo, we were
in awe of everything that the hospital staff does to help the children recover from their traumatic experiences and return to
as normal a life as possible.
While we were aboard ship, we had two “formal nights” where we dressed up for dinner in the main dining room. Joe
wanted all the Shriners to wear their fezzes to dinner on those nights. It was amazing to see the reaction of the servers and
our fellow passengers when the Shriners entered the room wearing their fezzes, heads held high. Everyone acted as if the
Zembo members were some kind of royalty. Well, Shriners do call themselves “nobles” and they definitely looked and
acted the part!
Joe and many of the other Zembo members wore shirts with some kind of Shrine logo on them almost every day of the
cruise. And it was amazing to me what kind of ice-breakers the fez and the Shrine logo are when you are aboard a ship
with a few thousand strangers. So many people walked up to Joe and asked about Shrine, about Zembo and about the
fez. It was a wonderful opportunity for him to explain to people who the Shriners are and what they do. So many people
thanked us for what Shriners do for the kids.
Ladies, be proud of the role you play in helping to support the world’s greatest philanthropy. I enjoyed being with all of
you at Zembo this year and look forward to continuing to see you in the future.

2019 Zembo Shrine Potentate’s Cruise
Zembo Shriners and their guests spent seven days visiting New England and Canada aboard the Regal Princess for
the 2019 Potentate’s Cruise. Ports visited included Newport, Boston, Bar Harbor, St. John’s and Halifax.
Zembo members visited Shriners Burn Center in Boston,
where they delivered a $300 contribution from Krouse Travel. Everyone took a break from sight-seeing to
enjoy cocktails aboard the ship.
There was plenty to see on
the trip, from the Statue
of Liberty as the ship
left New York (left) to a
lighthouse off the coast of

12A Hurricane Couldn’t Dampen Spirits At MASA
Hurricane Dorian washed out many of the MASA activities, including the parade. But, Zembo members and their
ladies had fun despite the rain and wind. A “hurricane party” took place all day in the hospitality room and, when
the hurricane moved on, we were rewarded with a beautiful, sunny beach day for our last day in Virginia Beach.

I want to especially thank Greg Beckley for putting up the
new flag in front of Zembo. The Color Guard donated the
U.S. flag, and we sell U.S. flags as well.
It has been a great summer for parades, I want to sincerely
thank the Color Guard for marching in the Berrysburg and
Kulpmont parades.
Remember - membership is the key to Zembo’s existence.
