5 CIRCUS 2017 NEEDS SUPPORT FROM THE NOBLES In my course of travels the past few weeks many, many nobles have told me they have NOT bought their tickets yet to Circus Please take this seriously. The Syrian Shrine Circus ticket sales office is down about $l7, from 2016 Circus. At $l0.00 per ticket that is l700 tickets. We have to get it rolling. We did it last year in 2016 We have sold already close to 3000 tickets so with your help and a good box office year at the BB&T, Arena we can have a profitable Circus. The Radio and TV advertising has begun. We are in one Family Magazine which is a free publication that a tremendous amount of women with children pickup and respond to. We need your help to spread the word Circus 2017 is only 3l days away. Please consider getting your tickets soon to ensure better seating. Again please spread the word, get the circus office phones ringing and ordering tickets. We thank all those that have purchased tickets thus far you have been a huge help. Top priority with only 3l days left is to purchase tickets. If you have purchased tickets please consider a Mom and Dad s donation if you haven t made that We need the support of all the nobility. You all came through at the close of the activity book for Circus 2017 to make it profitable. Please support Circus 2017 by buying your tickets now.

11 SYRIAN SHRINE UNIT & CLUB INFORMATION MUSTANG UNIT All Nobles, We are very excited to have the opportunity to bring back the former "Desert Riders" Mustang's. It has taken a lot of work to get a few of the cars back into good running order over the past winter. Our group is looking forward to participating and parading with everyone in the coming 2016 season. If anyone is interested in getting some information on joining, please contact our director Don or the Assistant Director Jeremy The plan is for us to meet the second Wednesday of every month. Also, it has been a struggle to find parts for these cars due to the age of the cars. We are trying to reach out to anyone who used to be in the unit that may have some old parts laying around they would like to give back to the unit. Again we are excited to participate and grow this Mustang's unit throughout the 2016 season, and welcome anyone who is interested in joining.
