Assistant Rabban - Heath Forney, Sr.Hello Nobles, Family and Friends Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. It is hard to believe that it is already that time of year, cooler temperatures, festive smells in the air and the time for us to have some fun and fellowship. Fellowship in Brawley and the parade, and let us not forget a very important day that falls on that week-end. Veterans Day, which originated as Armistice Day and marked the end of hostilities of World War I that occurred at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. Therefore, the day is always recognized on November 11th, regardless of the day of the week the 11th falls on. Thank and hug a Veteran that is close to you, remember those that have passed, and say a prayer for those that gave the ultimate sacrifice. The Mother Goose Parade lets us know that Thanksgivings is approaching, then..in December we will be having the Al Bahr Holiday Party on the 15th, so mark your calen-dars for some festive Christmas fun!!!

Chief Rabban - Gene YeeWe have arrived in November, in the Fall of our Shrine year. Let us give thanks to the Supreme Architect of the Universe for all the blessings we and our fellow Nobles and families have received. We are indeed blessed in many ways, including that most impor-tant one, our fraternal relationships. First, last, and always, we are brothers. Let us not forget those obligations we took of our own free will and accord, to maintain and improve the lot of all members of our fraternity and concordant bodies. They remain timeless, and ever present, whether we first mentioned them 53 years ago, 38 years ago, or three years ago; they are a part of our basic fabric called Freemasonry. The journey we take together called Shrinedom is a fraternal one, of our own choosing. It is my wish and prayer that we give thanks to our Creator this Thanksgiv-ing, for allowing us to make this journey, and for placing so many great, kind-hearted Nobles and their ladies and families as such an integral part together as our Shrine family. No one knows if our Creator has granted us another 24 hours, or more, or less, so to me it is incumbent that the time I spend today will aid and assist my worthy brothers and their widows and orphans. So as I, and we, sit this year at our own table of Thanksgiving, created by each of us however humble, I thank our Creator and ask the Creator’s blessings for you, each and everyone, for being a part of this life we call Al Bahr Shriners. Vamos a dar gracias a Dios. So mote it be.
