“SHRINERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE! BE THE ONE!”Egypt Shriners Clubs and Units Meeting Dates

Yours in The Faith,DwightDwight E. Brown

Egypt Shriners Potentate 2016

ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Hello Nobles!

November was another great month for Egypt Shriners! We recognized and celebrated our

Veterans in two diff erent parades right here in Tampa. We created 18 New Nobles at our Fall

Ceremonial and honored our Legion of Honor. And to push membership further, we will hold a Cold

Sands Ceremony on December 7th.

On Friday, December 2, we will hold our quarterly dinner in the Terrace Room. The Theme this time

is American Comfort Foods. Dinner will be followed by Karaoke and Lip-synch Battles. Tickets are

$15 and they are available at the offi ce and on our website. Sorry, but we cannot take reservations

without your credit card.

We are looking forward to Holiday Parades on Saturday the 10th (in Brooksville & Inverness) and in Safety Harbor on the 17th.

On Sunday, December 18, we sponsor the Children’s Christmas Party. This party is for our Hospital Children, but Shriners Kids

are welcome to come and visit Santa. It’s another chance to see the Reason for the Season in the faces of the Children! Join

us, won’t you?

At the Oasis this month we will have Karaoke on the 9th and Dinner and a Movie on the 16th.

Right Now, on behalf of myself and Lady Cathy, the Divan Members and their Ladies, we want to wish you all a Merry Holiday

Season and a Happy & Prosperous New Year!

Speaking of the New Year, we are having a New Year’s Eve Party in the Oasis Lounge, starting at 9 p.m. Tickets are $40 per

couple. Come ready to party and we will have a champagne toast at midnight followed by breakfast. The party ends at 12:30

a.m. Rather than drive home, you should join us for Glamping

in the Belvedere Ballroom for an additional $20 per campsite.

See the ad in this issue and call the offi ce with your credit card

to hold your space.

In January, we hold our Annual Business Meeting and our

elections. We have good, qualifi ed candidates running who

want to lead Egypt Shrine in the coming years. Please come

out and show your support.

We hope to see you at the Shrine!

Scottish Rite NewsBy Worshipful Casey Fletcher 32°, KCCH

Our ancient brethren called upon many wise sages of the

past and drew from many sources of ancient writing in

establishing our masonic philosophy and constructing

our degrees and rituals. They endeavored to formulate a

framework for us to recognize and inculcate “right” action,

develop virtue and conduct a moral life.

At least three schools of philosophy or moral theory are

identifi able in our Work.

An Aristotelian “perfectionist” theory is evident in the

Symbolic Lodge. This philosophy or system provides

instruction on what kind of people we are to become,

what our character should be; how to act and be virtuous.

In the Entered Apprentice degree we study the four

cardinal virtues, Fortitude, Prudence, Temperance and

Justice. This instruction is directed inward – focusing us

on the cultivation of our individual character and virtue.

A second school may be called the Kantian school

(referring to the German philosopher Immanuel Kant).

In his view, morality is defi ned by the dictates of reason

and based upon free will, adherence to moral law and,

primarily, good intentions. Very generally, Kant asserted

an action was “right” or “moral,” if it were in our power, that

we would categorically declare it to apply to all people,

at all times and in all places. The rightness of an act is

dependent upon good intentions and fi delity to moral

law. Kant’s theory came to be called the “categorical

imperative” and is present throughout masonic ritual.

Hiram Abiff ’s decision in the Master Mason degree fi ts

into this school – he had an agreement with the other

Grand Masters. His decision to honor the agreement was

“right” and “moral,” regardless of the consequences. This

moral theory is also well-demonstrated in the 15th degree

of the Scottish Rite, Knight of the East. This degree (which

will be conferred on April 22nd of next year) is set in the

second Temple period. Not to give anything away, the

protagonist, Zerubbabel, follows Hiram’s example.

A third school of philosophy is called utilitarianism. Its

original advocates were the philosophers David Hume,

G.E. Moore, Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. This

school is often described as the “greatest good for the

greatest number” or “situational ethics.” Whether an

action is right or moral is determined by and dependent

upon its consequences. Utilitarianism thinking and

practice is quite noticeable in our society (to both good

and bad eff ect), but not so obvious in masonic ritual.

The notion of situational ethics is addressed in the 28th

degree, Knight Commander of Temple. In this degree, the

protagonist, Constance, must choose among mutually

exclusive obligations and values; his decision seems to

be based on the ultimate consequences (to others) of

his being faithful to one particular vow and breaking the

others.

Value can be found in each of these schools of

philosophical thinking and moral theory. Each has merit

and shortcomings; none provides a checklist of actions

that are obligatory or forbidden. They provide no simple,

single set of formulas. But each provides a framework

for moral thinking, reasoning, conduct and character

development.

These schools of philosophy and moral theory might be

compared and contrasted by saying: character matters,

intentions matter and consequences matter. Our ancient

brethren were quite adept at weaving them into our ritual,

furnishing us with much to think and refl ect upon and to

act and decide accordingly. They left it for us to fi nd the

unity and harmony among them.

The Scottish Rite degrees will next be conferred on April 22nd and April 29th. Petitions are available at http://tampascottishrite.org. The Valley of Tampa regularly meets at its Center in Tampa on the 2nd Monday of each month. Dinner is served at 5:45 PM and the regular meeting starts at 7:30 PM. Your writer will present an educational program on December 12th.

Casey Fletcher is Past Master of Tuscan Lodge No. 6 in Bartow, Florida. He has come to understand why our ancient brethren referred to speculative masonry as Work and as Labor.

Hospital Tour Guide NewsBy Noble Frank Harmon, Chief Tour Guide

In keeping with our never ending quest to provide the

best available care and equipment for our children,

Shriners Hospitals for Children Tampa is pleased to

announce the arrival of a new, hi-tech diagnostic addition

to our Radiology Department. We now have a DEXA

scan system up and running in the Sea-Urchin room just

outside Radiology.

The Horizon DXA system features the latest innovations

in bone densitometry technology which includes a digital

high resolution ceramic detector array, as well as a high

frequency X ray generator. By its “One Pass True-Fan

Beam” the scanner can deliver rapid, dual energy bone

density measurements in a single pass which eliminates

beam overlap errors and image distortion. Because of

the elimination of lead in the aperture and cadmium from

the detectors, the DEXA System is the “greenest on the

market.” The radiation emitted during use is so low that

the X ray technologists do not need to wear any lead

protection and can be right next to the scanner with the

patient.

As a diagnostic tool, the DEXA scan can help clinicians

assess overall bone health, body composition and

cardiovascular risk; all very important factors in keeping

our kids up and running.

The acquisition of this $90,000 diagnostic equipment was

made possible due to the ongoing and incredible fund

raising eff orts of our very own 15 year old superstar Leigh

Dittman, who has raised in excess of $1 million over the

last 12 years for the Shriners Hospital for Children Tampa.

Leigh has received care since she was three weeks old

for Osteogenesis Imperfecta or OI (also called “brittle

bone disease”) and has been an absolute champion for

all things Shriners and a wonderful spokesperson for our

hospital. With this new equipment, a child needing bone

density scans (at least twice a year) can now have them

done within the walls of “their” hospital rather than having

to go elsewhere as was the case in the past.

This cutting–edge technology keeps Shriners Hospitals

for Children Tampa out in front leading the rest in providing

the best possible care for our children. Kinda makes you

proud doesn’t it. Thank you Leigh.

Lakeland Shrine ClubBy Noble Roy “Woody” Woodside

Summer is over and we are looking forward to a cooler

more productive winter. The snowbirds are back and

assisting with the transport of our hospital children.

We had a great meeting in October where we elected

our new offi cers for 2017. The following offi cers will be

working hard to keep the club strong next year:

President – Roy (Woody) Woodside

Vice President – Marvin Gray

Treasurer – Wink Dillard

Secretary – Terry Benton

The dedication to transporting the Polk County Shriners

Hospital for Children patients continues and is clearly

shown by the number of trips that are made each year.

The following nobles were presented with pins to signify

their lifetime accumulation of trips as drivers and/or co-

drivers:

Wink Dillard – over 300 trips

Roy Woodside – over 275 trips

Sherwell Littlefi eld – over 100 trips

Bill Case – over 75 trips

Barry Williams – over 75 trips

If you have never transported a Shriner’s Hospital patient,

you have never experienced the satisfaction that comes

with it. To watch the improvements made by these

children at each appointment is amazing. We become

part of their lives and have witnessed some going from

being laid out in a wheelchair unable to move, to getting

up out of that wheelchair and walking with a walker, to

eventually walking with only a cane or no assistance at

all. Getting to know the hospital and the strong dedicated

staff that help these children accomplish their dreams is

something you won’t experience anywhere else. We meet

on the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:00pm. Come

join us and be a part of an experience you won’t forget.

Call Roy Woodside at 863-307-5026 for the location of

the meeting.

Highlander’s Pipes & DrumsBy Noble Gregory Mathes

Over the last couple of months the Highlanders have


been piping and drumming throughout the Tampa Bay

area. Starting in July, the Highlanders had the pleasure

of marching in the Imperial Parade behind the Legion of

Honor. Some members competed in pipping/drumming

completion earning 1st & 2nd Place Awards. The unit

hosted a special open house for visiting piper/drummers

and their families, we had a packed unit room overfl owing

into the hallway.

September arrived with the 10th Annual Tartan Ball. This

year it sold out months before the event. Over 300 guests

enjoyed our Black Tie event held at the Scottish Rite.

Mark your calendars for September 9, 2017. Ticket sales

should start shortly after the fi rst of the year, we expect

another sale out! This Ball has become a premier Tampa

event kicking off the parade season with people on wait

lists for tickets.

As most Highlanders are Veterans, we were honored

to be asked by the Tampa Bay Navy League to perform

at this year’s Navy Ball held at the Renaissance Hotel

at International Mall on October 21st. It was truly a

memorable experience for all of us. Happy 241st Birthday

United States Navy.

October 29th, band members represented Scotland at

the St. Petersburg Folk Fair parade.

This Veteran’s Day, the Highlanders performed at the

MacDill Air Force Base Remembrance Day Celebration

attended by many foreign country representatives

assigned to Southern Command & Central Command

Headquarters. This has become a repeat event for our

unit and we are proud to assist.

Finally on Saturday, November 12th the Highlanders were

honored to lead the new Nobles from the Oasis over to

the Stu Lang building with a rendition of Scotland the

Brave.

The Highlander’s stated meeting is the fi rst Thursday

of each month and fellowship/band practices most

Thursdays from 6:30-9:00 p.m.

Guests are always welcome to our fellowship and

practices. We are always looking for aspiring musicians

to perform with us. Don’t know how to play the pipes or

drums, no problem- we have great instructors who enjoy

teaching new students. If you are free on Thursdays, just

stop by our unit room for a great time. Email: Highlanders.

Trike PatrolBy Noble Dr. Ron Parlett

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday,

and with Christmas right around the corner, the “Drifters”

want to wish everyone a most “Merry Christmas” and

Happy New Year!

The Trike patrol will be participating in the Brooksville/

Inverness parade on Dec.10th then a week later in Safety

Harbor. This is especially exciting as our new member

James Mann will be participating for the fi rst time along

with a full group of “Sliders”.

It is also exciting to think that the Trike Patrol plans to

participate in competitive drills for the fi rst time with

our new bikes as well as the fi rst time in many years at

Imperial Session in July. All in all 2017 looks to be a break

out year for the “Sliders”

As many of you have seen our new Unit parade shirts you

will have to agree, they are certainly outside the box. We

also have many new ideas we plan to implement during

the course of the New Year. It is safe to say that no doubt,

“The Trike “Sliders” are NOT Your Father’s Unit”.

If you would like to join in on the FUN, but you’re in another

unit, no problem, stay there, and participate with us as an

Honorary Member of the Trike Patrol. Our meeting date

is the 3rd Wednesday of the month, and we meet in the

Trike Unit room, 6:30 PM.

Again, wishing you all a “Merry Christmas”.
