Association meeting. Don is also a 64 year member of Syrian Shrine…Congratulations Don, what an accomplishment!

Antique CaravanWell it won’t be long now before you will start seeing the Antique Caravan, grown men, some squeezed into replica TinLizie’s, driving in circles, delighting children along the parade route and giving their parents a chuckle. Being the firstmotorized unit in our Shrine parades, I often hear “look at the cars, how do they fit in them, I want one…wow he isold”….I just wonder if they really know what we do…I wish we had the time to tell each one of them: The Shriners are acharitable organization born out of the Freemasons. With almost 200 temples around the world and 300,000 members, thisfraternity is “based on fun, fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth”. We all know our hospitals treat childrenin need free of charge…..but do they? However serious we are about fundraising and medical care for children, a big part of the Shriners’philosophy is still about fun. Syrian Shrines history is filled with silly antics and camaraderie since 1877. The Antique caravan starts 96 yearslater in 1973 and is the oldest motorized unit in Syrian Shrine. We have cars, and they are loaned to you at no-charge…so if you are looking fora family-oriented unit, find a Caravan member and start a conversation. Gray

Mini RacersWe would like to say a great big “Thank you” to Illustrious Greg Pelfrey for having led us through a great 2018. And “Welcome”, with bestwishes to Illustrious Tim Redrow and First Lady Linda for 2019. ‘It’s that time of year when all the Mini-Racers begin their rigorous diet andexercise programs, following a joyous holiday season, crawling off the couch since the football games are over. The ham, turkey, dressing,mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie have all settled (in the wrong places) and we’re trying to get back down to size where we can fit in our cars.Everyone is using this “slow” time of year to overhaul cars in preparation of the upcoming parade season. Remember, just around the corner, ourDaytona party is February 17, 2019 and parade season starts with the St. Patrick’s Day parade March 16th A couple of our main goals for theupcoming year is to have an increase in membership and participation. So, we invite anyone looking for a great unit to have fun with in an activeor supportive role, please contact us. God bless the divan, nobles and all our families.Mike Miles, Director, Syrian Mini-Racers
