Congratulations to Chief Camel Herder Noble Jim Preston and his Camel Herders for an excellent dinner last evening.  The meal was fantastic and there were many happy winners including the top winner Noble Jack Hellberg who skipped away with the top prize.  We look forward to the next dinner in the spring.

50 were in attendance at Wednesday nights Master Mason Night Dinner Meeting.  Our guest speakers included: Illustrious Sir Noble Ray Causton P.P. who talked about Shriners; Secretary of the Board of Governors for the Shriners Hospital of Children – Canada Noble John Neil who talked about our Montreal Hospital showing a short video; High Priestess Lady Deb Airhart who talk about the Bokhara Court No. 22 Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America; and Past Queen Lady Joyce Anderson-Johnson from the Oronto Temple No. 69 Toronto who talked about the Daughters of the Nile.  Everyone had a great time and there were many lucky winners of the auction items produced by Lady Kathleen Shirk and Lady Celine Hellberg.  We appreciated having our District Deputy Grand Master Right Worshipful Master Douglas G. English from Prince Edward District present who certainly learned a lot about Shriners and the work their Ladies give from the heart.

The Nobles of the Belleville and District Shrine Club entered the Wellington area this morning with overcast skies and some light drizzle.  Our prayers bore success and the skies cleared and the sun shone through before the Wellington Pumpkinfest Parade started at 10:30 a.m.  Every year we continue to see more people standing on the sides of the streets here in Wellington than we do in most of our other parades in the District.  Thanks again to Wellington for the excellent weather and to our Noble family and friends who attended.
