POTENTATE’S MESSAGE
Nobles and Ladies;
Spring is ready to spring that means parade season is right around the corner so let’s talk about that. First thing, yes your
lady may ride in a parade with you but only in units that have a safe passenger seat and only one lady. We don't want the
public to misunderstand that the Shrine is not a fraternity. The next thing I would like to address is the parade list. The
Shrine Office put out a list of parades; these parades are from communities that have a unit in them. The times and dates of
the parades on the list was confirmed by the office. The office will publish other parades IF the dates, times, have been con-
firmed and what unit{s} will parade there. To put out a long list of parades with inaccurate times, dates and not knowing if
any unit is even parading there is as we have in the past is Ludicrous. Remember Kaaba is charged by the parades we have
units in. No Shriner will be allowed to parade without a current dues card this rule will be up to the unit to enforce if a unit
permits non Shriners to parade they will be barred from parading. We all need to keep our dues up to date. Kaaba is the host
of the Iowa Shrine Bowl this year the parade is on July 21st it would be great to have a lot of Kaaba units participat-
ing. More detailed information on the Shrine bowl is in the Kaabagram, and you can always contact the office.
Brother David Glanz PP and the Blackhawk Shrine club has arranged for a bus to take Kaaba nobles, their ladies and pro-
spective nobles to the Chicago Hospital for their open house on June 3rd. There is no charge for the trip. New nobles will
have first priority. The open house is a wonderful experience that all nobles should attend you won’t regret it, for details
contact the office.
CSSA Ceremonial will be in Branson this year on August 22-24 I hope we have a good turnout I know we had a hell of a
good time last time it was in Branson.
Kaaba will be having candy days in front of stores I am arranging a few in the metro Quad Cities area if you would like to do
one in your area for Kaaba contact me and I will be glad to help. Kaaba needs this fund raiser to be a success since the last
two fund raisers failed due to the fact Shriner did not support them but that water under the bridge. Let’s get out there get
new Shriners and have some fun
That's all the news I have hope everyone has a great spring and I hope to see you at some of the upcoming event.

Nobles and Ladies:
A new year has started in my journey to be Potentate of KAABA in 2020. It has been a wonderful journey meeting new Nobles from around the Kaaba realm. I continue to learn and listen as I travel to the various clubs. I am adjusting to retirement as of the beginning of this year. Trying to balance my obligations to the Shrine and other areas in my life. In doing so a friend during morning coffee started a conversation on the old building that was to be torn down known as the Goncho apartments. That conversation set me to thinking. He was admiring the metal pillars in the front and wondered about salvaging them. He could see the beauty of the pillars. Sure, it was a handsome building in its day. But then, there's been a lot of winters pass with their snow and ice and howling wind. The summer sun's beat down on that old building till it is in poor repair. Yet, my friend called it beautiful. That set me to thinking. I walked out and just stood there, gazing at that old building. Only years of standing in the weather, bearing the storms and scorching sun, only that can produce a beautiful building worth saving. It came to me then. Shriners are a lot like that, you and I. Only it's on the inside that the beauty grows with us. Sure we turn silver gray too ... and lean a bit more than we did when we were young and full of sap. But the Good Lord knows what He's doing. And as the years pass He's busy using the hard wealth of our lives to care for his children, the dry spells and the stormy seasons to do a job of being Shriners thus beautifying our souls. They took the Goncho apartment building down today and hauled it away to beautify a corner of town with six new con-dos. And I reckon someday you and I'll be hauled off to Heaven to take on whatever chores the Great Architect of Universe has for us. And I suspect we'll be more beautiful then for the Shrine work we've done here ... and just maybe even add a bit of beauty to our Father's house. A challenge to all, is to let that beauty inside each of you grow bright by promoting the Shrine and raising money to care for God’s children and yes have fun doing it. Fraternally yours, Michael Moore

Nobles & Ladies
I would like to thank you for once again electing me as a Divan Officer for 2018. I am happy to be serving as your High Priest and Prophet for this year.
Another busy year is being planned. In addition to the many club meetings and parades, we will be attending the KAABA Potentate Ball on February 3rd, the Za-Ga-Zig Potentate Ball on February 24th and the El Kahir Potentate Ball on May 5th. KAABA will be hosting the Shrine Bowl in July, and we will attend Central States Shrine Association in August.
Diana and I are looking forward to seeing all of you, and you’re Ladies, at these many events. Reginald Hughell
Greetings Nobles and Ladies,
I am so honored to be your Oriental Guide for 2018. I have been busy visiting clubs and just returned from Orien-
tal Guide School. There was alot to take in a short amount of time and alot of great training on becoming a leader
in our temple. I'm looking forward to helping our temple grow.
Parade season will soon be upon us, although we don’t have a full parade schedule in front of us we all know
where local parades are so let’s share with everyone instead feeling we are not being included on the calendar. Al-
so remember you are representing Shriners International and Shriners Hospital for Children when we are parading
before, during and after, let’s keep our fraternity in a positive light.
I look forward to meeting everyone in the near future if you need to get hold of me with questions, concerns or
comments you can reach me at [email protected] or call me at 319-750-7997. My lady Cindy and I look for
seeing you at an event soon.
Yours in faith,
Mike Reschly

Help from
Zimmerman Honda
The following story is one reason why we endorse
Zimmerman Honda In March, the Hospital drivers had 3 Patients going up to Chicago on 1 day for ap-pointments. We called around to get a van that would take them all together. A rental company was going to make it possible, except we would have to pay for 2 days, be-cause their office would be closed when we return from the Hospital. So Dave Glanz checked to see if we might be able to rent one from Zimmerman’s, since we had pur-chased our new van from them. The person who Dave talked to said they don’t rent vehicles, but he would get back with him. After a couple of days, Dave received a call from Sales Manager, Brian, who said they would have a van for Kaaba. When Dave ar-rived at Zimmerman’s, owner Mark Zimmerman, said that we could use his personal conversion van and he would cover all of the expenses for this trip, including gas and tolls. Mark said he was happy to help the Shrine, because of what we do for the chil-dren of this area! Next time you are looking to buy a new car or used car think of

”IN MEMORY OF OUR DEPARTED BROTHER NOBLES”
When Allah calls, then our friends obey and fold their tents and steal away. To the land where the crystal waters flow, where the Beautiful Palms of Allah grow. Life is a story in volumes three, the past, the present, the yet to be. The first we’ve written and laid away, the second
we’re reading day by day, The third and last of the volumes three, is locked from sight .
God keepeth the key.
