We had our first stated meeting for 2021 with Illustrious Sir, Les Kruse, at the helm. We had a packed house full of #fezzes both in our temple and via Zoom! We even had a visitor from Kosair Shriners - Louisville, Kentucky, Noble Rick Reeve. Along with many presenters, Second Ceremonial Master Steve Haase presented Potentate Les Kruse the first ticket to the El Riad Shrine Motor Corps $10,000 cash drawing. #FezFriday

The annual El Riad Shrine Augustana University Football game was postponed because of COVID-19.

Since this was the case, we instead are now featuring Shriners Hospitals for Children Patient Ambassadors, Jaxon and Jeren, with their parents Jennifer and Justin Scheff.

"ROOSTER!!!" (pheasant hunters will get that reference.)

Nobles, Families and Friends,

We soon will be celebrating Thanksgiving with loved ones, virtually, or perhaps even alone or just with your significant other. Either way, embrace everyone with arms and/or words.

This is the final Cactus for 2020 and as we hang the new 2021 Cash Calendars on our walls, let's us give thanks and pray to our higher power that we have a much healthier and more typical year ahead for El Riad Shrine.

Despite the challenges this year, we should all take pride in how diligent our leadership has been along with how many nobles and ladies continued to go the distance whenever possible.

The December/January Cactus magazine has many photos from the Sportsman Classic Banquet as well as dons some of the fun on the cover. We highlight other recent events and include wrap up unit and club stories. Be sure to also read the final article written by our Illustrious Sir Al Zahn, "Taking the Extra Step".

Please read the digital magazine and share it everywhere:

• 2021 Cash Calendars Available Now
• El Riad Shrine Open Marshaling
• El Riad Warm Sands Ceremony
• Patient Christmas Party
• Necrology Service
• Shrine Cup Sponsors
• Sportsman Classic Banquet

'Tis the first day of fall. The leaves are transitioning to an autumn landscape, boats and docks are being pulled off lakes, kids backpacks and shoes adorn our floors, pumpkin spiced everything has returned, cash calendars are soon to be distributed, and El Riad Shrine is doing its best to keep things as normal as possible.

As always, this issue dons pictures from the 18th Annual El Riad Shrine Cup Golf Tournament which took place on Thursday, September 3, 2020 at GreatLIFE Willow Run. All net proceeds benefit Shriners Healthcare for Children – Twin Cities.

The October Cactus magazine has many photos from recent events and fun to read unit and club stories. Be sure to also read the article written by our Illustrious Sir Al Zahn entitled "Taking the Extra Step".

Please read the magazine and share our smiles with others to remind all the El Riad Shrine remains steadfast:

• A View From the South Terrace
• Motor Corps & Sprint Cars Routine
• Fall Ceremonial Schedule
• Football Ticket Sponsors
• Shrine Cup Golf Tournament
• Shrine Football Game Banquet

Augustana Vikings Head Coach, Jerry Olszewski, joins our 2020 Shriners Hospitals for Children Football Game Patient Ambassadors, Jaxon and Jeren, during our football game banquet. Our Potentate, members of the football committee, Divan and other Shriners welcomed the patients’ family, coaching staff and all football players for a safe and fun evening. Although the game is postponed until spring we felt it a good distraction to continue our tradition of breaking bread prior to the game. @goaugie @augustanasd @shrinershospitals @shrinerstwi @shrinersinternational

Hot Off The Press...September Digital Cactus

https://elriad.org/cactus

Nobles, Families and Friends,

Despite the pandemic, our Nobles, Ladies and families had some safe and fun summer outings!

As our too short warm season ends and school has already begun for some—and for the rest very soon—our shrine did what we could to adhere to CDC guidelines to safely celebrate the end of summer. Upcoming events are planned until otherwise noted and we hope all or most still occur to take our minds of all of the politics and rather grim headlines. This is where your Shrine can help distract and allow for helping others (including ourselves).

Inside the September Cactus magazine we have several stories, many Shutterbugs and Pixels photos, along with unit and club stories including the "Taking the Extra Step" article written by our Illustrious Sir Al Zahn.

Please read and share our magazine to promote El Riad Shrine to the masses. Here are a few items from this issue:

• A View From the South Terrace
• Ace Hardware Hot Classic Nights
• Shrine Family Fun Day
• Finding the Positive in a Difficult Time
• And much more!

Nobles, Families and Friends,

"Virtual", "Social Distancing", "Pandemic", "COVID-19", "Coronavirus", and many other terms in regards to viruses, politics, the end of times, are all that we seem to see and hear when consuming the media. However, El Riad Shrine, Shriners Children's, and Shriners International, are all incorporating positivity, looking toward the future, embracing the necessary changes in our lives, and focusing on the road ahead.

Inside the August Cactus magazine we share some great "feel good" stories, many 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.

Please read the magazine and share our smiles with others to remind all the El Riad Shrine remains steadfast:
