    Greetings fellow Nobles, it feels like
summer is here with these 90-degree
days. Another Paper Sale has come and
gone and sad to report our sales were
down approximately 40%. Considering
the loss of 3 of our normal sales loca-
tions, roadblocks and many Shriners not
comfortable being in the public we did
sell 60% of our goal. We thank every
Noble that did brave the covid-19 and
participated.
