10 Mini Car Notes Our unit lost Past Commander Len Rathbun to the Black Camel. Len was a mainstay in our unit for many years and he will be sorely missed. Our present Commander, John Lafond took Len s Mustang Mini Car to the wake. Our unit had a good presence there. Our thoughts go out to Mary and Len s five boys and their families. It is always a challenge to fine things to write about. We enjoyed our January winter get together at the Wheel Inn. We had fifteen in attendance and everyone had a good time. Justin Lafond was scheduled to leave for Oklahoma to continue his pilot training just after our get together but the temporary government shutdown put this on hold. He has since traveled to Oklahoma and is doing well. Our snowbirds, Chris and Mary Goddard were scheduled to leave two days after our winter banquet. They should be back shortly after this goes to print. Joanne and I, Kristi and Sharon Morris traveled to Auburn Main to spend a weekend with our counterparts from Kora. David and Jane Lidstone were gracious hosts and the visit was fun. Since then we hosted David and Jane and Kristi and Sharon for a weekend at our house. It was the coldest weekend of the winter so we basically vegged and enjoyed the company. This is an aspect about being in the Shrine that I love. We would never have met many wonderful people without traveling many parts of the country for events. I will put on my treasurers Fez for moment to report that Cairo Shriners had over $100,000 dollars donated to Shriners Hospitals for Children in their name. That number does not include donations from units or form the Brattleboro Shrine Club. Spring is coming, Bruce Please contact Dick Cooke for any issues or questions for the Shriners Hospitals.
