2020 has certainly been aninteresting year for the Zeno-bia Shrine Circus. The MarchCircus was postponed, due tothe coronavirus. Once ourvenue, Seagate Centre, wasclosed by Lucas County oneweek before opening night, wescrambled to sort things outand notify all directly involvedin the Circus. A big “THANKYOU” goes to Teri and Dick,who spent the days immedi-ately following the announce-ment, answering the numerouscalls and questions, while alsohelping in finding options wehad available. Appreciation isextended to the help of Ill. SirDurain and his Divan, by as-sisting and attending specialmeetings to discuss our status.Since that initial closure,

everything in the communityclosed and the Grand Masterstopped all Masonic meetingsuntil May 10. The time and ef-fort put into the preparationsfor the Circus by the CircusCommittee is greatly appreci-ated. This effort will not bewasted.Elsewhere in this issue is

the information about ticketsthat had already been pur-chased. Currently, it appearsthat the Circus will berescheduled for October 15-18, 2020. It will contain all theparts that would have hap-pened in the March Circus. If

you were scheduled to help insome way at the Circus, we in-vite you to be that part in thisrescheduled event. The days ofthe week, the times of the per-formances and the activities atthe Circus will all continue.Make your plans now and savethese dates. Circus Commit-tee, keep your contacts as weare having a fall Circus!Tickets previously sold are

still good for the future showbased on day and perform-ance. The program books are

up-to-date, the novelties aregood and snow cones/cottoncandy will be ready. THESHOW WILL GO ON!October has just become a

very busy month for Zenobia.With the Sportsmen Extrava-ganza on October 3, then twoweeks later the Circus, the No-bles and friends of Zenobia aregoing to be quite involved.Thank you, in advance, foryour willingness to participatein each event. SEE YOU ATTHE CIRCUS!

Greetings Nobles, It’s hard to believe that I am having to write this article. Things

have changed drastically in the world and in our Temple in thelast two weeks (since I submitted my original article).My original article talked about the exciting events we had

coming up: the Circus, Friendship Night, Ceremonial, Onionsales, Potentate’s Party. We are living in historic times and some-thing none of us could have ever imagined or prepared for, butit’s times like these that our great fraternity comes into play. It’stime to call each other and make sure we all have everything weneed, and we are doing okay.As everyone should be aware, the Grand Master has issued an

edict, with the backing of the Imperial Potentate, that no Masonicmeetings, events or appendant bodies can meet until at least May10. Our Circus Director has been working diligently since the day

of the edict to try to get a date set for later in the year to resched-ule the Circus. We will be looking for a date to reschedule Cere-monial and a Friendship Night prior to that. As of March 18,2020, Ill. Sir Tuttle and myself are in close contact with the pos-sibility of Onion sales still happening and we will notify you assoon as we know what is going on.As of right now, the Pote’s party will not be on May 2 or at the

Park Inn. We are looking to reschedule to a later date and will letyou know as soon as we have a date and venue. On a brighternote, the Pote’s trip is still on as planned for June 5-7, 2020. Wewill be going to Erie, Pennsylvania, in conjunction with the ErieHospital open house. (Details on the flier in this issue)If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please feel

free to contact the office (419-661-9200) or myself (419-957-8404). Please take care of yourselves and each other, and we hopeto see you soon.

Yours in the faith,Boyd E. Durain, Potentate

Dear Noble:Grace and Peace to you and

yours in the name of the GreatCreator.Slowly winter relinquishes

its cold hand upon us. Thewarm sun of spring has broughtto bud the early flowers andmany trees are showing signsof new growth. How clearlycan we see the hand of our Cre-ator God as the season awakensand the world around us comesalive.As Shrine/Masons, we too

must come alive to the obliga-tions we have made. Just as thebrightness of a new season ofgrowing is all around us so toois the opportunity to grow ourfraternity. We, each of us, know

The SeaGate Centre wasclosed by the Lucas CountyOfficials until April somethingdue to “The Virus”. That meantwe had no place to hold ourCircus and it had to be can-celed. We are in the process oftrying to reschedule, that in-volves SeaGate, the Circus and

others. Will advise when weget Circus rescheduled. Thankyou to all who were ready towork the Circus.Saturday, April 18, is the

next Zenobia Ceremonial. Itwill be held at Zenobia in Per-rysburg. Look for the petitionin this copy of the Hadji andsee if you can have a Masonbecome a Shriner. Noble SteveHessler is our MembershipChairman, and I believe he cangive you pointers on how to fillout the petition. Bring a poten-tial member to the FriendshipNight on April 3, and he canbecome a Shriner on April 18.

Onion time will be here atthe end of April, in time for thefirst weekend in May. Pleaseget your orders in early so youcan be sure you have onions.We have a limited number forsale and will not be orderingmore. They are $12.00 per bagwith units and clubs getting atwo-dollar commission for sell-ing onions.Our stated meeting in April

is on Thursday, April 9. Pleasebring in a petition and join usto find out what is happening atyour Shrine.

Yours in the Faith,Dick Fries, Recorder

“Good Men and True” whocould become a faithfulbrother. Like the dormantflower, that awaits only the sunto warm the earth and give itnew life, we can share thewarmth of our fraternal bondsand awaken them to the bondof fellowship we share.There are many of our

friends who need to be intro-duced to our Shrine/Masonfamily. What greater blessingcan we share with a friendthan to call him brother.What greater joy can wespread than to introduce themto the boys and girls of ourSpecial Olympics and ouramazing hospitals. If each ofus would find one friend andmake him a brother the“Good Work” of our prom-ised commitment would be afulfillment of what it meansto be a “Man Good andTrue.”

Peace,Hugh W. Bowland, D.Min.Chaplain, Zenobia Shrine

As you know, due to cir-cumstances beyond our con-trol, the Shrine Circus wascancelled this past month. Thisdoes not minimize the effortput forth. A BIG tip of the Fezto Circus Director IllustriousSir Dennis Gable. This is not aone week responsibility, ittakes months and months ofplanning and scheduling bymany volunteers, who I want toget a shout out to. The Zenobia Sportsmen’s

Extravaganza is underway. It isheaded up by Noble Ben Cro-ley and his committee. Onceagain, this is not a one week re-sponsibility. It takes a lot oftime and many hands to makeit work.
