Hot Off The Press...April Digital Cactus

elriad.org/cactus

What can be written that hasn't already been uttered? The pandemic which is COVID-19 (coronavirus) has altered all of our lives for the short- and long-term. Terms like "self isolation" are making it necessary for most of us to quarantine not only for ourselves but for our more fragile citizens and loved ones. Many of our fellow nobles, ladies, families, and friends are necessarily on the front lines despite these warnings because they are the heroes we rely on during these uncertain moments.

At the time of this writing, our dedicated office staff is still in our shrine doing what they must do to ensure necessary actions are taking place and calls are answered. Our board of directors (Divan), certain event committees have been communicating for countless hours working to make executive decisions. Even many of our unit and clubs who are forced to not meet in person are implementing creative and unique methods to stay in touch and continue to plan for the future.

And...we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Together, we will overcome.

During this difficult pandemic time for our Shrine, our city, our state, our country and our world, El Riad is faced with making choices we never dreamed necessary. However, we know protecting our nobles, their families and the public, as well as our patients, is what matters most. We appreciate everyone’s understanding while we necessarily endure the coming days to focus on those closest to us and we stand steadfast for when we can reschedule events and get things back to our new normal.
Please continue to monitor our website, emails, and social media, for confirmed information that we're sharing as soon as we are able.

The April Cactus magazine has many Shutterbugs and Pixels photos, along with unit and club stories including the article written by our Illustrious Sir Al Zahn entitled Taking the Extra Step which goes into great detail about our current situation.

Hot Off The Press...March Digital Cactus

The groundhog predicted an early spring. Whether this happens or not, let's go with that and hope that as the weather switches from freezing blizzards to spring like temperatures it gives all the snow time to slowly melt thereby giving our water resources time to adjust and not flood.

Speaking of flooding, remember to keep all of our upcoming dates for fun events at the shrine handy so you can "flood" in with the crowds and enjoy what your shrine has to offer! Now, for horrible jokes aside... The March Cactus magazine has many Shutterbugs and Pixels photos, plus many advertisements of upcoming events, plus unit and club stories including the article written by our Illustrious Sir Al Zahn entitled Taking the Extra Step which goes into great detail about how busy we've been and touches on many of these stories: • 140k Masonic Hall New Roof
• A View from the South Terrace
• Fife & Drum Valentines' Bash
• Taking the Extra Step
• Unit & Club Seminar
• And much more!

Nobles, Families and Friends,

The new year is upon us which means El Riad Shrine hosted our annual meeting and installation of new officers while also creating our new potentate.

But first, I would be remiss if I didn't join our entire nobility in thanking Past Potentate John Whitelock, and his Lady Ralynn, for all of their hard work, leadership, and dedication in 2019. The time investment each of these couples make to excel up the Divan and to become Potentate is an enormous commitment and we should all thank them when given the opportunity.

Illustrious Sir Al Zahn, and his wife Du, along with our Divan had a terrific installation on January 11.

The February Cactus magazine has many Shutterbugs and Pixels photos, plus many advertisements of upcoming events, plus unit and club stories including the first article written by our Illustrious Sir Al Zahn entitled Taking the Extra Step which goes into great detail about how busy we've been and touches on many of these stories: • 2020 Installation
• Bethel #38
• Cold Sands
• New Years Eve Bash
• Sadie Hawkins Dance
• Shrine Patient Christmas Party
• Shriners of the Year
• Taking the Extra Step
• And much more!

With a bitter cold and snowy day here at El Riad Shrine, we have the opportunity to give thanks tomorrow for all of our many blessings. May all of you enjoy time with family and friends as we reflect on all we've done in 2019 and what remains moving forward.

Also, be sure to tune in to see Alec on December 1 when he is interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning.

Trailblazing is a state of mind at Midco as they believe in approaching challenges as adventures, embracing diversity and having the confidence to be genuine in all interactions. It’s an energizing way to approach life – and it is something they see in their team members every day. Fellow Shriner Jeremy was recognized as being a trailblazer this past summer as he has reflected the values of a trailblazer through his professional career at Midco, his personal life, as well as how he gives back to the community through Shrine philanthropic work. Jeremy's is passionate about his work at parades, hospital visits, the Shrine Circus, and any event where the organization can raise money and awareness for its philanthropic work. He does it all with a smile on his face – and a bucket on his head.
