At the annual communication of the Imperial Council in Indianapolis on June 22, 1887, dispensation was granted and Sesostris Temple became the 35th chartered Shrine Temple on June 25,1887.

On July 11, 1887, the Temple was formerly instituted by Edgar S. Dudley, the first Potentate, (See Grand Commandery Page), who received the Sesostris Charter from Noble Walter M. Fleming, one of the originators of the Shrine. Of the charter members, James Tyler (See Grand Commandery Page) served as the Second Potentate in 1889 and then in 1891-92-&93. M. H.

SESOSTRIS SHRINE COMMUNICATION

FROM ILL. SIR BILL NELSON ON TUESDAY, 3/24/2009

Hello to all Sesostris-land!

Nobles and Ladies, mark your calendars now!  The next membership
appreciation dinner is Friday evening, May 8, starting at 6 PM with a social.  Dinner
will be served at 6:30 PM, with a short program following.  This is the week
after our Spring Ceremonial, so we'll be looking for prospects for our fall
ceremonial at that time.  Make sure you send in your reservations to the
office as we need to ensure we have enough food on hand for everyone.
Fezzes for Nobles, please.  Casual or unit attire is appropriate.  Ladies are
always welcomed and encouraged to attend.  Let's exceed the count from the
first dinner!  Will you help me?

The Spring Ceremonial on May 2 will be the first step toward a
successful membership year.  I'm hoping you are planning to attend to see our new
nobles and their ladies become members of this great fraternity.  Please make
the effort to support them, someone did the same for you when you came in,
so please  pay it forward!

Thanks to each of you for your dedicated support to Sesostris and our
membership efforts.  Without your assistance, it would be a difficult
job at best!  My job this year is easy.  Let's also not forget those nobles who
haven't paid their dues for the year.  If you know any of them, please
contact them to see if there's an issue we need to resolve.  If they are
experiencing "hard times" please contact me or the Potentate and we'll
see what fraternal assistance is available to help.

Good afternoon Nobles,

Circus plaque sales are doing well.  We have received about 42% of the
renewals in the office todate.

I would encourage you to follow up on your plaque renewals that you have
delivered to the businesses and have not received a response.  Please
pick them up and turn them into the Shrine Office for processing as soon
as possible. We want to get all the businesses back in the newspaper ads
this year.  So many of them have shown their contined support year after
year.  Don't let them down. As salesman we have a responsibility.  The
deadline is getting closer.

Also let's get more new plaques.  We have a great start on increasing
our plaque sales this year so let's all work a little harder to make
this one of the best.

If you have any questions, please call the shrine office 474-6890.

FROM GARY HAHN ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7TH, 2007

Nobles,

Due to the potential bad weather coming in later today and the forecast
for sleet and extremely cold temperatures, I've made the decision to
cancel the Hospital Patient's Christmas party for tomorrow.  We cannot
afford to have our patients or their families being subjected to bad
weather just to attend a Christmas party.  At this time, the party will
be rescheduled to December 22, same time and location.  If the weather
is still bad at that time, the party will be cancelled in its entirety
and gifts will be delivered to each patient.

My decision was based on a conversation with Amanda Cox, Channel 10/11
weather forecaster.  She indicated the snow is south of us as of right
now and is expected to move in later today, and also expected to remain
overnight.  The wintry mix (including sleet) is forecasted to arrive
later in the day, and the HIGH temperature is scheduled to only be in
the low teens! 

On another note, the auction scheduled for tomorrow afternoon is still a
go. So, I would like to see as many of you there as possible as we sell
parts of Sesostris that have been around for ages!

Bill Nelson
Potentate

FROM GARY HAHN ON SATURDAY AUGUST 18TH, 2007

MESSAGE FROM DR. BERNARD J. LEMIEUX, IMPERIAL POTENTATE ON AUGUST 18TH, 2007

  My fellow nobles:

               The 133rd Imperial Council Session is now over, and it
was my privilege to be elected as the Imperial Potentate and the
Chairman of the Board of Directors of our beloved fraternity and its
philanthropy, Shriners Hospitals for Children. Anaheim was a great host
city. Not only did we enjoy a lot of Shrine fun and fellowship, the
families had the opportunity to spend a day or two enjoying Disneyland.
The weather was perfect for this time of year, and once again, the
Shriners got to "parade their stuff" on one of the main streets in the
community, allowing us a lot of good PR.

               I wish to thank all of the voting representatives for the
trust and confidence that has been placed in me, and I will do
everything in my power to ensure this organization moves successfully
through the coming year.

               The Joint Boards welcomed our new Outer Guard, Gary
Bergenske from Bahia Shriners. He is an excellent addition to these
Boards; he has shown his ability to be a team player, and we all look
forward to working with him in the coming years.  When his opponent Jim
Cain, Past Potentate from Al Menah Shriners conceded, voting for a
unanimous decision and announcing his candidacy for next year; he
received a standing ovation.

               The voting representatives also re-elected Imperial Sir
Tad Claypool from Antioch Shriners for his second term as a Trustee, and
the same is true for Noble Bob Smith from Calam Shriners. Both of these
men have worked very hard and have helped shape a positive course of
action for our hospitals. We are gratified that the voting
representatives recognized this also, and we look forward to working
closely with them in the ensuing year. Imperial Sir Ralph Semb was also
re-elected as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for Shriners
Hospitals.

               From time to time, you will be receiving an "e-mail
blast" from me to keep you informed of what is happening throughout
Shrinedom. If, for some reason, you wish to be removed from this e-mail
distribution list, please follow the instructions below. If you would
like to respond to me with questions, suggestions, etc., feel free to
e-mail me at the following address: Imperial_Potentate@shrinenet.org.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND OR FORWARD JOKES AND/OR PICTURE FILES. If you wish
something to remain confidential, make a note of it, and I will respect
your wishes.

               The theme for this coming year is "We are Family." It is
my hope that in stressing the family image throughout the Shrine and
throughout our Masonic family, we may be able to entice new and younger
members to our fraternity.

               At this past Imperial Council Session, the piece of
legislation concerning building a new hospital in London, Ontario,
Canada was defeated and we will maintain our present hospital in
Montreal.

   Sincerely and Fraternally,

   Bernard J. Lemieux, M.D.

   Imperial Potentate

From Gary Hahn on Thursday, March 23rd, 2007

Nobles and brothers,
 
The New York Times newspaper ran an article on Monday, March 19, and the
Lincoln Journal Star ran an edited version of the same article on
Tuesday, March 20, questioning how monies have been handled in some
Shrine Centers and clubs.  Below is the official response from the
Imperial Shrine headquarters.

 
Sesostris Shriners has an outstanding and deserved reputation.  All
1800+ members of Sesostris have the responsibility to help maintain it.
Thank you for your efforts in this regard.  The articles and this
response reminds us that the privilege of being a Shrine Mason must be
safeguarded and not taken for granted.

Fraternally,
 
Bill Nelson, Potentate
Sesostris Shriners

This from the Imperial Shrine Council of North America

Response to The New York Times
March 19, 2007

We value the trust and confidence of the public, and what's most
important to us is that people know how their donations are being used.
The Shriners of North America and Shriners Hospitals for Children
represent two distinct organizations.

The New York Times story was not clear about the way we separate
fundraising activities for Shriners Hospitals for Children and Shriners
of North America. The article combined funds raised to benefit Shriners
Hospitals for Children with funds raised to support operation costs of
the 191 chapters and their affiliated clubs. There are more than 3,000
Shrine clubs, and each club is affiliated with one of 191 chapters
across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Canada.

Our guidelines clearly state that when money is raised for Shriners
Hospitals for Children, 100 percent of the net proceeds must go to the
hospitals. No monies raised for Shriners Hospitals are allowed to be
used in support of fraternal activities. As long as Shriners clearly
state the beneficiary of the fundraising event, be it Shriners Hospitals
or Shriners of North America, they can hold fundraisers for either
cause.

All fundraising materials are required to clearly state the purpose for
which the funds are being raised. Fundraising policies and procedures
are distributed twice a year to all 191 chapters of Shriners of North
America. These guidelines require that a "statement of purpose" be
included on tickets, advertising, signage and other materials - making
clear whether the beneficiary of the fundraising event is Shriners
Hospitals for Children or Shriners of North America. In addition,
fraternal fundraising guidelines require a disclosure that "payments are
not deductible as charitable contributions."

Strict policies and procedures are in place regarding fundraising, and
we are always looking for ways to improve them.

For more than a year, we've been in the process of developing an
independent financial review committee. This committee will review the
way finances are handled throughout Shriners of North America.

The committee has been endorsed by Imperial Potentate Nick Thomas,
president of Shriners of North America, and I feel confident the board
of directors and trustees will approve this at their next meeting.

The Times story uses a broad brush to focus on a few incidents that are
totally unacceptable and are in no way representative of the way money
is handled at our 191 chapters and more than 3,000 clubs.

I hope the story will not deter the people who make it possible for us
to operate 22 hospitals at a cost of $2 million a day. Shriners
Hospitals for Children provide expert, specialized care at no charge to
children under the age of 18 with orthopedic conditions, burn injuries,
spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate. Since the first hospital
opened in 1922, approximately 835,000 children have received care at
absolutely no charge.

We are very proud of what we do for children.

THIS FROM ILL. SIR BILL NELSON ON FEBRUARY 13TH, 2007

Nobles, Assistant Rabban Drew Borske and I testified in support of LB
598, the Shrine License Plate bill today.  We were the only two to
testify in support of it, and there were no opponents.  Senator Russ
Karpisek, Wilber, did an excellent job introducing the bill.  For your
information, Senator Fischer, Transportation Committee Chair, is married
to a Shriner, as is Senator Hudkins, who is also on the committee.
Senator Stuthman has a grandson who is a Shrine child.  Not that it
means anything, but they know who we are and what we do!  Let's all hope
it makes it out of committee and to the general file. 

If you have a chance, please drop Senator Karpisek a thank you note for
his efforts. 

Yours in the faith,

Bill
 
Bill Nelson, Potentate
 

THIS FROM ILL. SIR BILL NELSON ON FEBRUARY 12TH, 2007

The time for LB 598 regarding our License Plate will be heard at 1:30
p.m.

Sorry this was not in the original message.

Reminder - the Shrine license plate bill, LB 598, will be heard by the
Transportation Committee tomorrow (Feb 13) in Room 1113 at the State
Capitol.
Come show your support for this bill.  Wear your fez!   

Thanks.
