From the desk of
the
Potentate…….
September got us back into the swing of things, starting with
a rousing discussion at our U.U. meeting. If you or your unit
representatives are not attending, you are missing out on some great
discussion and opportunities to help direct the future of Al Bedoo’s
units. We also held our 3rd stated meeting of the year. As it has
happened all so often in recent years, we do not see enough of our
Nobles showing up to these meetings, we need to see you all taking
an active part in YOUR fraternity. I would like to thank all those that
do actively participate, your input is indispensible! THANK YOU!
We had a couple of unique opportunities this last month that
has allowed Al Bedoo and our Hospitals to be seen out in our
community. First was the Phillips 66 “Meet in the Park” on
September 4th. Secondly we were invited to participate in the Safe
Kids event at the Mall on September 13th both events are community
oriented. We not only had great public exposure; we made some
really good contacts along the way. I would like to see Al Bedoo
continue and expand upon these events. The more the public knows
about what we do the easier it should be to get both support and new
members. I especially would like to thank the Hospital Corp for
working these events, a special thanks to Laris Roberts P.P. for not
leaving me all by myself at the mall!
The thing that I think of in Fall is the very enjoyable weather,
not too hot and not too cold…the Goldilocks of the seasons. It always
brings to me thoughts of fun gatherings and warming ourselves by the
fire. Well if you are anything like me, then you won’t want to miss
our Fall Ceremonial as it gives us exactly that. October 18th we are
going to bring some new members into Al Bedoo. As I alluded to in
last month’s article we are going to shake things up just a bit. It will
be a night time ceremonial so take your naps during the day and come
out and welcome our new Nobles that evening.
Festivities for the evening will start “officially” at 5:00 with a
social hour followed by a dinner in….”Honor”….(umm yeah that’s
the word!) of our newcomers. Dinner will be a Pitch Fork Fondue
consisting of Steak and Chicken and all of the trimmings. We will
also be enjoying a roaring bonfire to keep ourselves warmed in the
parking lot. The actual ceremony will start sometime after dark, all
three sections will be performed. From what I have been told the
party does not stop there and may just go into the wee hours. The
ladies are of course welcome to the festivities and will have some
time together while the gentlemen are initiating our new members.
Come out and support this event, it promises to be something
different and a great time!
Oh and don’t forget to be back at 8am, if you choose to leave,
for breakfast and Fezzing the next morning!
The last thing I will leave you with, is to make sure that you
have your tickets for Chief Rabban night, the crew is working hard on
putting on a great event and fundraiser on November 1st. We need to
rally around our chosen leaders and this gives everyone a chance to
get together and have some fun, while supporting our next Potentate.
This year is rounding third base and heading towards home
plate…..so let’s make the most of our time left in the year and spend
some quality time amongst our fraternal family!
Until next time brother Nobles, Ladies and friends….assalaam'alaykum

Al Bedoo Mission
Statement
Nobles, Units, and Clubs must work
together in harmony and camaraderie to
achieve our goals:
1.
To perpetuate our commitment to
our Shriners Hospitals for Children; by
promoting community awareness of this
great Philanthropy, which is really the
“Heart and Soul” of the Shrine.
2.
To help our Hospital Corp. Find
qualified patients for the screening and
outreach Clinics and to assist the
Doctors and Patients receiving medical
care.
3.
To be forever thankful for the
tireless dedication and joy “Our Ladies”
bring to Al Bedoo as they work beside
us.
4.
To perpetuate the Masonic
principles of truth, brotherly love,
trust and laughter and to share these
principles with Non-Shriners throughout
our communities; and thereby provide
an opportunity for Non-Shriners to join
Al Bedoo and carry our Masonic
Fraternity and our Hospitals for
Children, our fellowship and
camaraderie year after year.

Which Are You?
Are you an active member, the kind that would be missed?
Or are you just contented that your name is on a list?
Do you attend meetings and mingle with the flock?
Or stay at home to criticize and about others you can
mock?
Do you take an active part to help the work along;
Or are you just satisfied to be the kind that “just belong”?
Do you listen to others that probably bear a grudge?
And forget that we are taught to not be too quick to judge.
Do you ever go visit a member that is sick?
Or leave the work to others and talk about the clique?
Sit and drink your some coffee and complain on how
things are run?
Or do you come to coffee and talk about Shrine and fun?
So come to meetings often and help with hand and heart;
Don’t be just a member, take an active part.
Think this over, Nobles, you know right from wrong;
Are you an active member, to do you just belong?

Brass Band
Sunday August 3rd,
By: Dave Rahn
> A Challenge to All Units <
*** SEE BELOW ***
2014 Dear Shriners,
We began regular rehearsals again on Tuesday evening
I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful meal you brought today.
I am overwhelmed and full of joy seeing the blessings of provision you all
gave us at the Womens Shelter.
I am a former Rainbow Girl and United Nations Pilgrimage for Youth
Scholarship Recipient, and I am staying at the Shelter due to circumstances
beyond my control. Family member displacement due to a house burning
down, and loss of housing for safety reasons. I am recovering from heart
surgery on May1st, 2014 at Billings Clinic Hospital. So may blessings have
been bestowed on me and others!
September 16th. Although a few of us had met to bend elbows,
most present were well rested and rusty. We had a nice turnout
and hope all will continue to attend and bring their friends.
The Band will use the upcoming Annual Chief Rabban
Saturday, November 1st as a Ladies’ Night and will
"host" all Brass Band members, guest players, and their ladies
who wish to attend. It’s an “OLD WEST CASINO NIGHT”. Get
your reservations in to the Shrine office @ 259-4384 and take
advantage of the Band hosting you and your date to this gala
evening!
*** THE CHALLENGE ***
Your generosity and kindness extended to all of us at the Rescue
Shelter moved my heart to
write and say……
We hereby challenge all Units to beat The Brass Band's
attendance at this Annual Chief Rabban

FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES
It is natural to associate the fez with Shriners Hospitals for Children. Because of this, meticulous attention must be given to
all fundraising activities, including circuses, to make certain that such activities comply with the law of the land and that a
contributor is not led to believe that his money will be used for the Hospitals when all or a portion thereof will be used
otherwise. The integrity of our charity and of our fraternity must remain above reproach.
Your specific attention is called to the following fraternal and charitable bylaws:
§335.3 USE OF NAME “SHRINERS HOSPITALS FOR CHILDREN.” The use of the name “Shriners Hospitals for
Children” or reference to the Hospitals in connection with any fundraising activity by a temple or Noble without the written
consent of the Imperial Potentate and the chairman of the board of trustees of the Hospitals is prohibited.
§503.11 COMMERCIAL USE OF NAME. The use of the name “Shriners Hospitals for Children” or reference to the
hospitals in connection with any commercial product or business enter31 prise is prohibited unless the written consent of the
boards of directors and trustees has been first obtained.
Now, therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
1. Fundraising for Fraternal Purposes:
(a) No Noble (in his capacity as a Shriner), club, unit, organization of Nobles or affiliated or appendant corporations, shall
engage in any fundraising activity without the express written consent of the potentate of the temple having jurisdiction
thereof.
(b) There can be no representation, express or implied, that the proceeds will be for the benefit of Shriners Hospitals for
Children.
(c) The temple potentate shall carefully examine all phases of the advertising, promotion and solicitation to determine that it
complies with §335.3 and §503.11 of the fraternal and charitable bylaws and that there is no representation, expressed or
implied, that would lead a reasonably prudent person to believe that the proceeds will be for the benefit of Shriners Hospitals
for Children. If the potentate is in doubt, he must receive the opinion of the Imperial Potentate who, after consultation with
the Director of Temple Accounting, shall make the final determination.
(d) The temple potentate must approve the terms and provisions of any contract for a fundraising activity after receiving the
advice of the temple attorney, and, additionally, as may be required by the temple bylaws.
(e) A copy of the temple potentate’s written consent shall be mailed to the Executive Vice President, Shriners International.
Further, such written material pertaining to the fundraising activity, as requested by the Executive Vice President, Shriners
International, shall be promptly mailed to him.
2. Fundraising for Charitable Purposes:
(a) No Noble (in his capacity as a Shriner), club, unit, organization of Nobles or affiliated or appendant corporations shall
engage in any charitable fundraising activity other than for Shriners Hospitals for Children. Permission therefor must be first
obtained in writing from the temple potentate. The temple potentate must then obtain written permission from the chairmen
of the boards of directors and trustees. This request for written permission shall be sent to the Executive Vice President,
Shriners International, P.O. Box 31356, Tampa, FL 33631-3356. No charitable fundraising activity shall be held in the
jurisdiction of another temple without the written permission of the potentate of that temple.
(1) A joint charitable fundraising activity with another 501(c)(3) charity may be authorized, provided that a minimum of 50%
of the net proceeds are for the benefit of Shriners Hospitals for Children, and the chairmen of the boards of directors and
trustees determine, on a case by case basis, that it is in the best interest of Shriners Hospitals for Children and they grant their
written permission for the activity.
(2) A charitable fundraising activity conducted by a temple located outside of the U.S.A. may be authorized for other
charities, provided that the chairmen of the boards of directors and trustees determine, on a case by case basis, that it is in the
best interest of Shriners Hospitals for Children and they grant their written permission for the activity.
(b) 100% of net proceeds (as defined in the Charitable Fundraising—Approval And Reporting provisions of this General
Order) from charitable fundraising must be given to Shriners Hospitals for Children except for such portion thereof as may
be permitted to be retained for the temple Shrine Hospital Patient Transportation Fund, pursuant to the Special Purpose Funds
provisions of any General Order. Provided, however, if the chairmen of the boards of directors and trustees determine for
good cause shown, that the law of the land requires that a portion of the net proceeds must be distributed locally, then they
may, if they determine it to be in the best interest of Shriners Hospitals for Children, grant their written permission for such
distribution.
(c) The temple shall report the result of each charitable fundraising activity within sixty days of the activity, pursuant to the
Charitable Fundraising—Approval And Reporting provisions of any General Order.
(d) This section shall not apply to activities exempt under §335.4(b) of the bylaws of Shriners International.
(e) Each independent corporation or entity that receives the permission of the chairmen of the boards of directors and trustees
to raise moneys for Shriners Hospitals for Children, and which does not have its financial statements reviewed pursuant to
§§334.6 & 337.8 of the bylaws of Shriners International, shall have its financial statements audited by a certified, chartered
or licensed public accountant and shall submit such audit report to Shriners International within 120 days of the activity.
3. Statement of Purpose and Disclosure:
(a) Every fundraising activity must contain factual information on its solicitation material, tickets, programs and documents,
including all electronically transmitted material, regarding the use of the proceeds.

Black Horse Patrol
Hello from the Black Horse Patrol,
There is really not much going on this time of the year at the Patrol. As noted in the last Al Bedooings the Black Horse Patrol is
celebrating its 70th year. I can remember as a very young kid watching the Black Horse Patrol participate in area parades. I hope
that today’s Black Horse Patrol are as impressive to young kids as the brothers were back in the day. Mother nature took control
of our Horse and Course poker run / golf tournament a couple of weeks ago, and rained us out. We did have a couple of hardy
young folks go out and play 9 holes in the rain just for the heck of it. It looked like they did have a great time regardless of the
rain and mud. Rumors have it that beer may have been involved.
At this point we have not rescheduled the event but will keep everyone in the loop should we try again.
We will be riding in the Nile cattle drive parade in downtown Billings on October 11th and then giving horse rides for Nile’s Cowboy’s and Kids on the 18th at the
fairgrounds.
Still no solid date for our annual Calcutta, we are hoping to hold it as normal on the Monday prior to Superbowl, same great meal, fun and festivities as in the past.
Hope to see you all on the trail.
Yours in the Brotherhood

Provost Guard
The Provost Guard Is
alive and well and living in
Billings Montana ! (and
Bozeman!)
With so many adventures ahead, it all boils down
in October , to our 5 Band 5
Hour $5 Dance Fundraiser.
These dances twice a year
give us the opportunity to
visit with a lot, and I do mean
a lot, of friends, neighbors
and fellow Shriners, all of
whom are there to listen to
the varied and great sounds
of the different country
bands and find the courage to
shake a leg with the numerous gals on the dance floor.
On Wednesday, October
1��, from 5pm to 10pm, at
the Shrine auditorium, the
floor should be a covered
By: Scott Mullen
with the folks from out of
town and the locals as well.
Each of the 5 bands plays
three songs; then the next
one does the same, etc. This
gives everyone an opportunity to dance and listen non
stop to the sounds of these
5 great bands : Crowd Thinners , Crow Country ,
Smoke Creek , Jim & Sue
and Drivin Sideways.
Food plates are available from the master chef,
Bob Snow, and a no host
bar keeps the whistle wet.
In addition, The Provost
supplies free snacks and
popcorn throughout the
evening.
More to talk about for
the Provost Guard and the
exciting look at the coming
year, but we’ll have to wait
until November. Like to see
whats behind that sea of
yellow shirts ? We meet on
the 3rd Wednesday of the

unit is growing, would you
like to be a part of
something fun and active?

Daughters of the Nile - Judy Tipton, Jr. Past Queen
Larry and I were fortunate to be
able to attend North West Daze
in Helena on August 21st through
23rd. Sapphira Temple No. 79 of
the Daughters of the Nile, in
conjunction with Algeria Shrine
Temple, did an awesome job. It
was truly a weekend full of
ceremonials for both Nile and
Shrine, fellowship, fun, food and
a parade!
There were several tours
available if you were so inclined;
a very nice Market venue for
shopping (Judy was able to come
home with a beautiful red
sequined formal!!) and there
always seemed to be people
gathered for fellowship. Friday
morning Sapphira held a
beautiful ceremonial and initiated
two new ladies. A combined
Shrine and Nile ladies luncheon
was held immediately after the
ceremonial, and we were
introduced to Shrine patient Joey
King and his family. Joey’s
father talked to us about Joey’s
treatment and
the local newspaper promoting this first ever

With the Hospital Corps staying involved,
we seem to have been quite busy this Summer
leading into the Fall. Any activity we can
participate in involving the Community give us
that much more opportunity to offer our Hospital
services to those who need them the most, the
Children!
On September 4th we were delighted to be a
part of the Phillips 66 Refinery Meet In The Park
“Youth and Science Education” event. With our
Hospital float and our tent we were able to visit
with numerous people and children during the
three hour presentation. What a great way for the
Refinery to show its appreciation to the people of
Billings and especially the South Side residents
for their prescence in this location. Fudruckers
provided the food, Wilcoxins the ice cream and
everyone had a wonderful time, including our
Mayor, Tom Hanel, who helped us rehook up the
float afterwards. Best of all , the Shriners were
there !
A week later, Our Potentate Darren DeHass, and
Laris Roberts were at center court in Rimrock
mall, representing the Shrine Hospitals and
handing out brochures to all the folks there for the
8th annual Safe Kids of Yellowstone County Day
affair. Another successful event with our Shrine
being quite visible and helpful as they spoke of our
mission and the work we do in our Hospital
System!
More to come in the following months, These Clinics allow us to have Doctors

with our members and the public for our goals our Hospitals for treatment. If you know a
