Greetings Nobles,
Ladies & Friends
Things are going well.
February Stag was a lot of fun.
We had a great meal as usual
but attendance was a little light.
I hope to see more of you at our March Stag on the 5th.
Remember to call ahead and don’t miss out on our extra
drawings!
The Cutter Races at Jackson Hole was a great time.
Hats off to the Jackson Hole Shrine Club and all who helped
with this event. They do a great job hosting this event every
year. Thanks to A.T., Earl, Pat and the Kalif Horse Patrol
for the bus, food and entertainment on the way over and
back. The hospitality room was and is always enjoyable.
PNSA was held in Portland, Oregon. Chief Rabban
Dennis Wilson, Asst. Rabban Joe Campbell & myself
attended this event. Of the 18 Temples in PNSA, 109
Shriners were able to attend. It is nice to see your friends
from other Temples and talk about how they do things.
Comparing information is healthy and helpful.
The Potentate’s visits are fast approaching. We
start at Powder River Shrine Club in Gillette on Friday,
February 26th, and then Inyan Kara Shrine Club (my home
shrine club) in Newcastle, Saturday February 27th. Chief
Washakie visitation in Worland on March 6th has been
postponed until a later date. I will let everyone know when
we reschedule. Fremont County Shrine Club visitation will
be in Riverton March 12th and Bah-Gue-Wana visitation in
Thermopolis on March 13th. These visitations are a good
way for the clubs to get acquainted with the Potentate and
the Divan. If you want to know what is happening and
you want your voice heard on decisions and events at the
Temple get to know your Divan. They are your leaders.
Communication between the Divan and the clubs is
important. Go to your visitations, support your club, and
support your Temple.
March 19th is our stated meeting night. If it matters to
you how and why things are done the way they are, go to
the meetings. Those who don’t participate can’t complain.
It is your choice to be a part of what is happening or a
sideliner on the bench.
The annual St. Patty’s Day Party is March 20th. This
is always a great meal with a fun dance to follow. Norm
Spangler is the King of the Green. Grab your shamrock
and join in on the fun!
Daughter’s of the Nile Installation is on Sunday, March
21st. They would like our Shriners to help. Please come and
show your support, by helping bring in their new officers.
The Spring Ceremonial, hosted by Inyan Kara Shrine
Club at Newcastle is fast approaching. Mark your calendars
for April 23rd -25th. Register ahead of time and save a
buck. Get your new novices ready for action. The more
the merrier! Members are the key to our future. Let’s see
how many new Shriners we can get.
Starting at 4 pm Friday, we will be doing a Cornerstone
Dedication at the Newcastle Lodge Building followed
by Harold Sallee’s famous BBQ pork roast dinner at the
Newcastle Fire Hall. Minnow Races will finish off the
night so get ready for an exciting betting adventure! Cash
prizes and trophies will be awarded to those who have the
minnow magic.
7 am Saturday is breakfast hosted by the NVFD at
the Fire Hall. At 8:30 am the novices will be registered.
The 1st & 3nd section at Newcastle’s new lodge Masonic
building will follow. The Shrine Parade will be downtown
at 10:30. Lunch for the men will be at the Fire Hall. The
Ladies luncheon is tentatively scheduled after the parade
at the VFW Hall. The 2nd section will start at 1:00 pm at
the Fire Hall. 5 pm is social hour with dinner at 6:00 pm.
Fezzing will follow with entertainment, music and a dance.
God Bless and Yours in the Faith,

Activities, Activities,
Activities – This should be the
byword for the Nobility and
Ladies of Kalif territory. If you
will read the Kalif Kall or check
the Kalifshriners.com web page
under calendar, you will see we
have a lot for you to do or attend in the months ahead. You
can also go to Shrinersvillage.com and see what Shriners are
doing nationally. At Shrinersvillage you need to enter your
last name, membership number (it’s on your dues card!) and
Kalif and you are into the web page.
Upcoming events in the local area are the Pot Lucks at
Kalif and the Annual St. Patty’s Party in mid-March. Shrine
Club visitations will start in Gillette and Newcastle and
then proceed to Worland, Riverton, Thermopolis, Cody and
Jackson. All of the dates can be checked out on our web page
or by looking in the 2010 Calendar and Directory that was
mailed out in February. These events are planned for YOU, so
let’s see your friendly faces! Oop’s don’t forget the big Spring
Ceremonial in Newcastle in the middle of April!
Upcoming events in the planning stage are a chicken
fried steak dinner by the Kalif Horse Patrol on April 17th at
the temple. Also, in the planning stage, the Kalif Directors
Staff is planning a Rocky Mountain Oyster feed on May 30th.
Watch for details and cards in the mail.
The Kalif web page has been updated and the calendar of
events is shown through next December. We still have a few
problem areas, such as formatting, that are being worked on
by the web designers. The Kalif Kall will also be online, but
at this time that is being handled by the web designers and
is not up to date. If you will look under the heading “Divan”
you will find a listing of all the Club and Units complete with
officers, telephone numbers and meeting times. Check it out!
We could sure use a few more bodies at the monthly stags.
The steaks have been outstanding and where else can you
get such a great meal for twelve bucks. If you think the price
is too high – then you have not been out to any of the local
restaurants lately. Just don’t forget to make your reservations!
The commemorative donor brick program is finally
drawing to a close. I recently placed an order for twelve
more bricks and that leaves space for just four more bricks.
Give me a call pronto if you want to have your name or the
name of a loved one placed in the brick area at the front of
the temple. This will be the end of the program and nothing
is planned for the future.
At the present time the Kalif Oasis has been moved to
the lower bar area. The upper bar is undergoing the final
stages of a refinishing project and when it is finished it will
be something to see. All the wood is being refinished and
new counter tops are being installed.
Several of us were sitting in the Oasis recently and the
name of Noble Bill Harrison came up and we were wondering
how he was enjoying the winter down in Arizona. Someone
mentioned the time that Bill saw this poor old man walking
in the rain. This poor old man’s shoes were so bad that one
of the soles were actually flapping loose. Bill stopped the
man, reached into his pocket and pulled out a roll of bills that
would choke a horse. He slipped off the rubber band, gave it
to the guy and said, “ Here, put this around your shoe and it
will stop the flapping.” That Bill is sure one big hearted guy.

Soldier's Actions Change Iraqi
Family's Lives
Salt Lake City – The actions of one Idaho soldier have
changed the lives of an entire Iraqi family. Three of the
family’s children have a severe type of dwarfism and needed
medical attention they couldn’t get in Iraq. The little girl has
a long road to recovery. Her family had been threatened by
terrorists in Iraq for helping U. S. soldiers. Now they have a
new life in the United States thanks to one man.
The story starts with one soldier called to serve in Iraq.
But because of his age, and the fact he had already served in
the military nearly 40 years ago, Russell Hayes almost didn’t
go. That was until his wife told about a feeling she had.
“She said, ‘Honey, why fight it? Maybe God has a reason
for you to go to Iraq.’” Hayes recalled.
What Hayes didn’t know was that on the other side of the
world a man much like him was praying for help.
When Hayes arrived in Iraq, he read an article about
Abdul Salman – a father of six children, who had been helping
U. S. soldiers. He was disabled, and then Hayes got to the
last line of the story; it said that three of Salman’s children
had a degenerative type of dwarfism.
“Me, being the father of a dwarf, that just jumped right
out at me,” Hayes said.
His own daughter has dwarfism. At that moment, he
knew that was the reason he was serving, and he knew he
wanted to help them.
“I believe God put all this together,” Hayes said. “It was
not coincident. God put this together.”
Hayes voluntarily extended his tour of duty to make sure
the family got visas. Other soldiers pitched in, paying to fly
the family to the United States. Once here, Hayes and his
wife started paying for a house near them in Kuna, Idaho, for
the Salmans. He also arranged for Shriners Hospital to help
with the children’s medical expenses.
The oldest, 14-year-old Saja, is in the worst condition.
She had a series of complex surgeries a few days ago and is
now recovering at Primary Children’s Medical Center. The
other children will have similar procedures.
Through a translator, Abdul expressed his gratitude.
“He said, ‘I am before hopeless, but now I have hope,’”
the translator explained.
That hope came from one soldier’s actions.
“Every one of us can do something”, Hayes said.
“Recognize something that’s placed in front of you and go
ahead and go with it.”
Talent Abounds at
Kalif Temple
Congratulations to Noble Warren Pearson and Lady Doris

you have for Kalif Shrine. Through your work ethics, your
expertise and desire to find and correct areas that need scrutiny
and bringing these to a satisfactory conclusion, are just a few
of the attributes that you, Noble Warren and Lady Doris, bring
to the table for the good of the order.
Thanks to all past, present and future recipients of this
award. Your dedication, hard work and ability to lead will
keep the light on in the tower and water in the moat.
Yours in the Faith — Noble Bob Gould

In Memoriam
“God rested them in Peace”
To the land of promised rest,
Their work is done and the setting sun has
sealed their life’s request.
They have left this earthly strand
For the house beyond the sea,
Though the past is gone,
They will live on
To us all-Sweet is our memory.

2010 Harley-Davidson Shriner's
Motorcycle Offer
My Fellow Nobles,
The Harley-Davidson Motor Company is commemorating
the upcoming 140th anniversary (2011-2012) of Shriners
International by adding the 2010 Tri Glide Ultra Classic
motorcycle to their Shrine model offerings! This is a limited
time offer with a very limited quantity available only through
authorized Harley-Davidson Dealers. A photo of this beautiful
bike is included in this e-mail.
The Harley-Davidson Shrine Tri Glide is offered for
members in Arctic White with Red and Gold pinstripes. The
ordering window began Wednesday, January 27 and ends
Friday, March 5, 2010, through Harley-Davidson dealers.
Since this is a limited quantity, the order window could close
sooner if the production is sold out. This program is valid
for the model year 2010 only and may not be offered again
in the 2011 model year.
Any Shriner whose membership is in good standing is
eligible to purchase a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle through
the Shrine Purchase Program. Again, this is a limited time
offer and can only be ordered through Friday, March 5, 2010.
If the production is sold out, the order window could close
sooner.
For more information, visit www.harley-davidson.com
and click on Motorcycles, Special Editions, Shrine and see
your Harley-Davidson dealer to order one. Be one of the
first in your Shrine organization to own this truly unique
FLHTCUTG Tri-Gilde Ultra Classic motorcycle!
Fraternally yours,
Mike Severe
Imperial Officer
Shriners International
Thanks Al Bedoo
A tip of the Fez to Al Bedoo, our Shrine neighbors to
the north, and its Nobles and Ladies that each year for many
years have crossed the sands to add another dimension to our
Potentate’s Ball by inviting Kalif Shriners and their Ladies
to a hospitality room prior to the Potentate’s Ball at the Best
Western in Sheridan.
The camaraderie is great; the food is fantastic; and the
laughter and smiles that accompany this annual get-together
is heartwarming.
Thanks Al Bedoo, it is an honor to have your friendship.
Yours in the Faith — Noble Bob Gould

Family First, Shriner's
Hospitals for Children Form
Partnership
Super Bowl-winning Coach Tony Dungy addressed
the media yesterday evening at the Rosen Plaza Hotel in
Orlando to announce partnerships between Shriners Hospitals
for Children and the national nonprofit Family First, for
which Dungy serves as a spokesman. “I’m here today not
representing the NFL, but Family First,” said Dungy. “We’re
all about strengthening children and families, just as the
Shriners are. We thought it was a natural partnership.”
Imperial Potentate Jack H. Jones, President and CEO of
Shriners International and Peter F. Armstrong, M. D., Chief
Medical Officer of Shriners Hospitals for Children, also
addressed the media to praise the partnership.
“I don’t know of two organizations that care for children
better than Family First and Shriners Hospitals for Children,”
said Jones. “We are so grateful to have this partnership with
Family First.”
Dungy and his family have personally experienced
the expert level of care provided by Shriners Hospitals for
Children.
“We have a son who has special orthopaedic needs,” said
Dungy. “We took him to the Shriners Hospital and they did
things that normally couldn’t be done.”
The press conference was one of many events taking
place during the week of the Asset Protect East-West Shrine
Game, benefiting Shriners Hospitals for Children, scheduled
for Jan.23 in Orlando. Dungy played in the 1977 East-West
Shrine Game, America’s longest-running college all-star
football game.
Every year, East-West Shrine Game players visit one of
the 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children to visit with patients
and experience first-hand the purpose behind the game.
“You would think the thrill would have been playing with
those great athletes in a national all-star game,” said Dungy.
“But it was secondary to the trip we took to the Shriners
Hospital. It was such a thrill.”
At Shriners Hospitals for Children, care is provided in
an environment that involves the patients’ families in the
recovery process.
“Shriners Hospitals for Children prides itself in providing
family-centered care,” said Dr. Armstrong. “We’ve just
expanded our potential in family-centered care with our
partnership with Family First.”

An Excerpt from General Order No.1:

Fundraising
A copy of the Fundraising Activities provisions of this
General Order shall be printed in the temple publication
at least once every calendar year.

It is natural to associate the fez with Shriners Hospitals for Children.
Because of this, meticulous attention must be given to all fundraising
activities, including circuses, to make certain that such activities comply
with the law of the land and that a contributor is not led to believe that
his money will be used for the Hospitals when all or a portion thereof will
be used otherwise. The integrity of our charity and of our fraternity must
remain above reproach.
Your specific attention is called to the following fraternal and charitable
bylaws:

Hospitals in connection with any fundraising activity by a temple or Noble

Chairmen of the Boards of Directors and Trustees determine for good cause

must be distributed locally, then they may, if they determine it to be in the
best interest of Shriners Hospitals for Children, grant their written permission
for such distribution.
(c) The temple shall report the result of each charitable fundraising
activity within sixty days of the activity, pursuant to the Charitable Fund
Raising-Approval and Reporting provision of any existing General Order.
