NOTES : Summer 2018
Dear Nobles and Ladies, June 4, 2018
The newsletter for June (no newsletter in July) is now ready to read on
the Highlands Shrine Club’s website: www.highlandsshrine.com (put
your browser in the middle of the address, hold down ctrl and click). This
should get you into the website. But if you are unable to open the HSC website,
you can put the HSC’s address: www.highlandsshrine.com into
your computer’s search feature (this is the best way to get into our website) OR
phone me at 471-2425 or use my e-mail address sissel@stratomail.net and
I’ll mail a newsletter to your home.
Travel down the topics on the left-hand side in the HSC’s webpage until
you read: HSC newsletter for June 2018. Press Enter, and the newsletter will
appear. Thanks to Noble Dennis Koranda PP for creating our website and keeping
it current. He does a good job for us, despite his medical problems.
Just a reminder that extra newsletters are located in the clear plastic
rack next to the Club’s Office door. We want everyone to be informed as to
what’s happening around the Club so you don’t miss out, your attendance at all
our events is very important to us!
The monthly BBQ events at the Sebring Masonic Lodge are over until the
fall, the Poinciana spaghetti and fish dinners, and the Sunday morning
breakfasts have ended until the fall, too. Here are the HSC events for June:
As you will read in the newsletter, there aren’t many opportunities for
us all to get together in June:
1. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13 at 11:30 a.m. - Lunch at Dimitri’s Family
Restaurant, 2710 Kenilworth Blvd., Sebring, FL (behind the Kenilworth Hotel)
385-7323
Please phone the Club at 382-2208 for your reservations (name and number
attending); please do not just “drop in” at the restaurant. There is a reserved
number of seats/section just for the Shrine Club. Sissel will need to phone the
restaurant with a head-count as the date gets closer. THANK YOU!
The summer months at the Shrine Club will be a “kick-back” opportunity
for us all. No meetings, no socials, no breakfasts or large a/c bills. But we do
want to keep in touch with our members and friends during the summer; therefore,
going out to a local restaurant is a good plan for us.
We will still have our summer picnics: Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor
Day. Friday night weekly games and Stix card games available for us, too.
2. WEDNESDAY MORNING COFFEE & DONUTS - This is a great way to socialize
with our members and friends at 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Noble Mike Byers and Lady
Mary Jean (and Noble Joe Mize) make our coffee, and attendees bring in the
goodies each week; thanks to ALL! A volunteer donation to cover the cost of the
a/c and coffee is appreciated. Thank you for supporting this endeavor. This
event will probably go on all summer; you will be notified if this changes.
3. TUESDAY, JUNE 26 at 11:30 a.m. - BUNCO is alive and well, and lots of
fun to play at the Highlands Shrine Club. This is a lively way to spend the
afternoon. The cost is $4 /each. Guys are welcome, too. Friends, family members
and the public is invited to attend.
Best wishes, Sissel Carr

Hope everyone has a safe and healthy summer
*******************************************************************************************************************
Please note that the Shrine
Club’s activities for the upcoming summer months will be comprised of “indoor”
picnics for Memorial Day, July 4th
and Labor Day, as well as a lunch meal or two at local restaurants. Please read
your monthly newsletter and e-mails from Sissel so you don’t miss out on the
locations and dates. Please phone the Club with number attending when we ask for
attendance number
at the restaurants.
Just want to say a BIG thank to
our members who will be returning to their homes up north for the summer. We
appreciate all you do for our Eastern Star and the Masonic organizations. You
pitch right in with financial support for our fund raisers, take stations in the
Lodges and Chapters, and just add so much to our meetings, etc. Hope you all
have a good summer, stay healthy and we hope to see you back again in the fall.
Please
feel free to write to me during the summer, I’ll pass the messages on to our
members.
Let’s pause and remember Memorial Day, an American holiday observed on
the last Monday of May, honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S.
military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years
following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in
1971.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Best wishes,
Sissel Carr
