New Shriner's Orientation: 14 June

There will be an orientation to all new Shriner's on June 14, 2011.

The potentate encourages every unit club to participate and have a table set where they can have some snacks and literature about their club to help the new nobles broaden their interest about Shriner's.

The Islanders are also part of this task and I ask our fellow Islanders to help support this function.

The event will be at the Al Bahr Shrine Temple. the reception will start at 6:30 pm.

Noble Islanders please be there around around 5:00 pm to help set up.
