We are looking for a few good men in the Sunshriners Unit, and you do not have to be a Marine. We visit the sick and distressed Shriners and Masons at all facilities. The most frequent stop is the Masonic Home, Our Home. The sight of a Red Fez identifies you as Shriner doing his work. When you enter a room this brings a big smile and a extended hand ready to receive the hand shake. I have learned many thing from these Masons and they really need to know that we Masons and Shriners care about them and that they are not forgotten.

I can report that 33rd Degree Mason, Mel Mullins, will lead the charge this year at the Masonic Home when we pass out the Scottish Rite Glass to every Mason in the Masonic Home. This was something we started a couple of years ago along with Director Bill Lewellen. Bill Lewellen has given so much to the Sunshriners program and has made numerous visits to the sick and medically confined Masons and now is the time to step up to assist him. Bill is still in the Masonic Home Room 80 recovering from a stroke. The visits Bill made to me while in the hospital was the reason I joined him.

I would like to have one member from each unit or club to conducts visits with us. There are too many visits to be made by only two members.

Fraternally,
