Hello Nobles! Spring is on the way! Our Potentate trip to Cancun was a great time. Twenty seven of us had fun in the perfect Mexico weather. (Pictures of our adventure can be found in this publication). Thank you to all who were able to share this memorable week with us. We missed the rest of you! A few more Shrine clubs are starting to have meetings. Please check the KAABA calen-dar, or check in with your club, to keep abreast of the meeting schedules. It would be great to see everyone out again.

If you are planning to go to the CSSA (Central States Shrine Association) meeting August 19-21 please call the Temple and reserve your room. This year CSSA will be held in Oklahoma City. We have a block of rooms in a hotel about a half mile from the convention center where events will be held. Parade time is almost here. We would love to have a good showing of parade units in our local communities this year. Let’s show everyone that Shriners are alive and well and ready to get things back to normal. Be safe. Illustrious Sir Reginald L. Hughell

POTENTATE

CHIEF RABBAN

Greetings Nobles and Ladies,

I would like to start off by saying thank you to the nobility of Kaaba Shrine for electing

me Chief Rabban for 2021. It has been a busy year so far and I hope it continues this

way. We have finished up our Lenten fish fry’s for the year and they were quite suc-

cessful. It takes a lot of people to make this happen and I would like to thank everyone

who helped this year, you did a great job and are much appreciated. I hope we can

continue this next year and get more nobles and ladies involved. I recently attended the

Central States Shrine Association Business meeting in Oklahoma City where Past Po-

tentate Todd Gullickson was elected 5th Vice President of CSSA. This means he will be CSSA President in

2026 and KAABA will be the host temple. Planning has begun and we will be calling upon the nobility to

help make this happen. Parade season is just around the corner, if your local towns are going to have the

parades please let us know so we can get the word out. As always if you have any Questions, comments or

concerns please feel free to contact me anytime.

Yours in Faith,

Mike Reschly

Dear Nobles and Ladies, It is an honor and a privilege to be elected by you as your Oriental Guide for 2021. I am

a Past Master and the current Treasurer of Cambridge Lodge #49 (Illinois), a member

of the Scottish Rite Valley of Moline and the Treasurer for the Widow’s Sons Great

River Chapter of Illinois. I am excited to see what this year has in store for fun and fel-

lowship for KAABA Shrine and all the clubs and units alike. I was proud to put on the

iconic red fez for the first time and I am even more proud to wear the fez as a member

of the Divan. The work done for children each year by the Shrine is something that we

all should be very proud of no matter what role we play. I have had the chance to make

a trip to Chicago as a driver. What a fulfilling experience. Meeting and talking with the

children and their families is nothing short of a blessing. Not to mention seeing the doctors and staff hard at

work. I can see myself becoming a full-time driver after I retire. I have had the chance to make a few of the

club and unit meetings so far. I love meeting new Nobles and Ladies and plan on visiting you all throughout

the year. Don’t forget to mention to your Blue Lodges, especially new members Raised to the Sublime De-

gree of Master Mason, how fun and fulfilling the shrine is.

If you need anything or just want to get to know me my number is 309-714-0169 and email is

The Black Camel

Honoring those who have gone before us “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.

Some Chuck Norris Facts

Chuck Norris can build a snowman out of rain.

Chuck Norris was once on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and was the first to spin. The next 29 minutes of the show consisted of everyone standing

around awkwardly, waiting for the wheel to stop.

Chuck Norris’ dog is trained to pick up his own poop because Chuck Norris will not take shit from anyone.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone

who helped out with the fish fry’s during lent. It was a

big undertaking but we got it done. At the time I wrote

this I didn’t have the final numbers on how we came out.

I will update everyone at the April stated meeting. Don’t

forget the Henry Gun Raffle, $20 a ticket and only 500

tickets to be sold. Parade season is coming up and we have

a couple of towns that have said it’s going to happen. Will

keep everyone informed by “Constant Contact” as time

approaches. By the time you get this, the April stated

meeting will have passed, so don’t miss out on our May 5,

2021 stated meeting before we go dark in June, July, and

August.

Stay safe and will talk at ya all later.

Roger Kadel P.P., Recorder

Kaaba Membership Dues:

We have 95 Nobles who have not paid their dues.

That amount is $11,915.00

Of those 95, 33 Nobles owe for 2020 & 2021.

That amount is $6,330.00

These dollar amounts are a HUGE part of our income.

If you are in a bad way or you know someone who is in a bad way

financially, medically, or some other situation that is stopping

them from paying their dues, please call, email or text one

of the Divan Officers, so that we can try to help them out.

There is no reason that we should have to drop anyone from

our membership.
