From the PotentateFirst off I would like to thank every one for the get well wishes and the kind prayers that I have received since my surgery. I have been making a great recovery and will soon be up to 100%.We are already making plans for Joseph and Baker City. If you have not already made reservations for Baker City, please do so as soon as possible. We only have a limited amount of rooms to go around and they will go fast. We are going to have a good crowd there. Other Centers who have not been attending as much are making plans to be there. The game will start at 1:00 PM this year, so we will not have time to do the annual BBQ at the Sunridge before the game. We are going to try to have a light snack at the Pre-game then do the BBQ after the game. We are joining with Hillah to put the BBQ on after the game. Your Divan will still be serving you for this event.The plan so far is to have breakfast at the park in the morning. Then go line up for the parade on 4th St. where we always go. When the parade is over those who are participating in the pre-game events (EVERY ONE WHO WANTS TO) will go to Bull Dog stadium and get ready for the march-in. After the game, the hot dogs and hamburgers will be almost ready and we will have dinner with all of our friends at the Sunridge. We are planning a fishing contest at Joseph (we need fish for the wild game dinner) I (not being a fisherman) think we should have prizes for the smallest (legal), the biggest, and the most fish donated to the wild game dinner. We might even go with the “boys against the girls” if the guys aren't afraid to be out-fished again. For those of you who want to attend the Star Light Parade, some of the Divan Ladies will be at 13th and Taylor holding some spots. For the men who are going to walk with the floats, remember to sign up with the Director of Units, since we can only have 12 walkers with each of the two Units. We have arranged for parking in the Scottish Rite garage. You will need to show some sort of Shrine ID (Fez, Fez case, dues card, etc.). There will be a guard on the door on 16th Ave. There are many more parades coming up, and we need people to participate with us. We will always have room for one more, so don't go away if you aren't setup with a ride right away. Check the revised parade schedule when it comes out. One parade that we all need to come out for is the Philomath parade on July 11. Assistant Rabban Greg Jenkins has been working with the townspeople trying to get support for Marys Peak Trek, and they have asked for us to participate in their parade. So, let’s get out there and give them a good show. 2009 AL KADER

From The Director’s Cornerby Noble Orin Sundeen, 2009 Director of Units

Now that we have had a couple of parades, The Dalles and Newport it’s good to back at it.We had a good turnout at The Dalles with all Units participating. A special thanks to the Silver Arrow Patrol from Central Oregon who came over and participated, also a special thanks to the Mid Columbia Shrine Club. They had their annual Oyster feed Friday night, and a breakfast the following morning before the parade.

The following weekend we were at Newport Parade and later there was a Rendezvous held at the Toledo Elks Campground. It was cold and very rainy through out the parade as well as the pot luck.Coming events and parades for June are Lebanon on June 5th. The St. Helens Parade on 20th is a morning parade. The St. Helens Shrine Club will have hot dogs and hamburgers with all the condiments for a small fee. After the luncheon, some of the groups will proceed on to Sheridan for their parade which is an evening parade starting at 6:00 PM. The Tillamook Parade will be held on June 27th. Form up at the park.The Hawaii Social will be held on June 13th make your reserva-tions.Next Unit Head meeting is on June 25th.

PUBLIC RELATIONSby Noble Carey Hukaba, PR Chairman

Edward L. Bernays, the father of modern public relations, defined it as: “The attempt, by information, persuasion, and adjustment, to engineer public support for an activity, cause, movement, or institution,” If this definition in some way conjures up thoughts of propaganda, then it may be because Edward L. Bernays was at the core of America’s World War I propaganda effort to counteract the German propaganda machine. Modern public relations is far removed from propaganda and is used extensively to promote products, activities, causes, move-ments and institutions. Now, public relations is in the business of improving a product, service or institution through research and development of ideas based on input from the public. Today, rather than persuasion and image polishing, public relations is actually changing a product, service or institution to meet the expectations of the public. The latest buzz word in the PR industry, is, “Branding.” i.e., “to impress.” And, Shrinedom has taken up the challenge, not to just look better or present Shriners in a better image, but to actually change Shrinedom for the better.What does all this have to do with you? Simply this. If you have a complaint about your unit, shrine club, or Al Kader, make it known to your PR Chairman. Or if you have a suggestion for making your unit, club or Al Kader a better organization, then let your PR Chairman know. As a Noble of the Mystic Shrine, you are a member of The World’s Finest Fraternity and are a part of The World’s Greatest Philanthropy. Now, do your part in making the world’s finest fraternity even finer and making the world’s greatest philanthropy even greater by complaint or suggestion. You PR Chairman is Noble Carey Huckaba, 4840 Silversands St. W., Tillamook, OR 97141-9345. Telephone: 503 842 5326. E-mail: [email protected].

East-West Bus to Baker CityWe have an opportunity to have a bus going from the

Shrine Center to Baker City for the East-West football weekend. If we can get enough people to sign

up, it will cost about $65 per person if we fill it up. The bus will hold about 44 people. If only 35 signed up

it would run about $77 each, you could barely drive over for that.

If we do have a bus, it will leave the Center on Thurs-day, July 30th and return on August 2nd. If we get enough people interested in going to Baker City and

the Shrine Game, the plan is to make a couple of stops along the way. Our first stop would be in The Dalles for breakfast second stop would be at Wildhorse

Casino for lunch and then on to Baker City for a fun weekend. If interested in going contact Cynthia at the

Shrine Center office (503-682-4420) by June 1st.


A fun evening where we welcomed 2 sitting Potentates, 10 Past Potentates and Oregon’s Deputy Grand Master to a full house, brightly decorated by the Oriental Band under the leadership of Lady Doris Johnson, and featuring Uncle Sam serving behind the bar. A high point of the evening occurred when HP&P Warren Gray recounted the story of the “Bubbles” speech delivered by Noble Forrest Adair (Yaarab Shrine, Atlanta) at 46th annual Imperial Potentate’s Ball


Council session in June 1920 in Portland, after which, the Shriners voted to establish what is now Shriners Hospitals for Children. Nobles Clem Norton and Carson Bailey accompanied the presentation, softly playing “I’m forever Blowing Bubbles”. IS Ard introduced Nobles Dale Breshears and Vern Lathrop who presented a check for $10,000 from the Pendleton Shrine Club. Following a program of patriotic music, the Al Kader Concert Band welcomed everyone to take a turn around the dance floor. Photos by Art Thompson.

The Concert Band switched into its Parade Band mode on April 25th, when we played our first parade of the season at the Cherry Blossom Parade in The Dalles. The following week we traveled to Newport for their Loyalty Day Parade on May 2nd. You "claquers" on the curbs are doing a great job of cheering us on. Keep up the good work! Concert Band events coming up include the May 16th Social and the May 21st Ceremonial, as well as parades in Tillamook and Newport, all of which will be reported in these columns. Another event, which is a way off, deserves some comment. The Al Kader Picnic will be held on August 23rd. The Band invites all persons who play a standard band instrument to show up and sit in with us. The music is not hard (Hal Leonard, etc.), and the camarade-rie is of the best. This is open to all family and friends, girl friends, boy friends, relations, or whatever. Even get your goofy Uncle Kaddiddlehopper to bring along his double-belled slide contralto-phone. Finally, you new Nobles who join us on the May 23rd Ceremonial and play or have played a band instrument and are reading this Oasis for the firsts time. We have a chair for you in our Band. As you can see from this article, we keep quite busy and have fun doing what we like to do best ~ play our horns! Please call our Director, Gorden Mallory at 503-319-6075 or myself, Clem Norton at 503-253-6180 for more information and rehearsal dates. Fine for now.

AL KADER PATROLby Noble Bill Harris

The Patrol’s snowbirds returned last month. Welcome back Noble Gene Stiles and Lady Bunny, and Noble Jim Sanders and Lady Carm. The Patrol should be known as “the iron men of Al Kader”. First thing that happened, on the way to The Dalles parade, was a flat tire on the People Hauler. Nobles Floyd Rewey and Rich Blizzard changed the tire and arrived before the parade started. Our color guard, Nobles Gene Stiles, Jim Sanders, Rich Blizzard, and Captain Dana Tawney, battled 25 mph winds the entire parade route. The next week, at the Newport parade, the weather was no better, windy and rain. Nice job Nobles. Our next parade in June should bring better weatherThe Patrol will provide the color guard and honor guard at the Past Potentates social on May 16th.The Patrol will be at the May 23rd Ceremonial to welcome our new Nobles, and talking to the new Nobles about joining one of the most active Al Kader units. The increased attendance at our monthly meeting can be contributed to the delicious dinners our Ladies are preparing. After our June 1st meeting, our Ladies are planning a Mexican dinner. Looking for a Shrine Unit to join? You and your Lady are invited to our June 1st meeting at the Shrine Center. Attitude adjustment 5:30 PM, meeting 6:00 PM. Ladies project 6:00 PM. Potluck dinner and fellowship after the meeting.

CONCERT BANDby Noble Clem Norton

The various bands within the Concert Band have had a very busy month. The Potentate's Ball was held on April 18th at the Wilson-ville Shrine Center. Prior to the dancing, High Priest and Prophet Warren Gray presented the legend of the "Bubbles" speech, with Nobles Carson Bailey and Clem Norton playing "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" softly on their clarinets underneath him. After this, our sixteen-piece Dance Band swung into action for the Ball, which was patriotic in nature. The theme of the Ball was Red, White and Blue, and our music stands were adorned with colorful American Flag-decorated drapes, designed by Lady Beverly Norton. Before the dancing began, the Concert Band's Director, Noble Gorden Mallory, led us in a patriotic prelude, narrated by Noble Carson Bailey. First was George M. Cohan's "Yankee Doodle Dandy," followed by Samuel Ward's "America The Beautiful." Next we played a medley of the songs of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard, asking those, when they heard the song of their branch being played, to stand up. And finally, we asked everybody to sing along as we played Irving Berlin's "God Bless America." This program was very well received by the audience, who then began the dancing program led by Noble Clem Norton.


MOTOR ESCORT UNITby Noble John L. Nerski, Captain

The first parade is over and was enjoyed by all, especially those of us who rode the bikes to the parade and back, thanks to Orin for accompanying me. The ride out was a little chilly (some of us forgot how cold the gorge can be) but the ride back a little warmer because the sun was out some of the time. Great parade and a great ride.Rick Laird is recovering from his injuries, is out of the hospital and recouping at home. He has been to a couple of the practices to offer his advice and support on the routine. He announced that he will not be recovered in time to accompany us to San Antonio and he will be sorely missed. Please continue to keep Rick in your thoughts during his recovery, as we will.Our routine is coming along very nicely and everyone is participating in the practices. The routine is a precision routine that includes such maneuvers as a figure eight, a wedge, circle within a circle and some thing we like to refer to as “chicken.” The maneuvers are a great way to improve our riding skills and have a great deal of fun in doing so. The “chicken” maneuver is one that we ride in two columns toward each other and cut between each other. Hopefully this will be a crowd pleaser when we get to San Antonio in July for the IASMC competition.Again, please remember that we are in the beginning of the riding season for motorcycles. Take time to take an extra look around when making turns and lane changes to make sure that there are no bikes in the way.

ORIENTAL BAND by Noble John P. Smith

The Dalles & Newport The weather couldn’t have been more different! Bright, sunny and warm for The Dalles parade. Cold,dark and rainy for the Newport parade. However, the Units and Clubs showed up, marched, rode andsmiled, pleasing the crowds along the route. After the Newport parade, the group got together at theElks picnic grounds in Siletz. Thanks to Lady Jennifer Moyer and Lady Cathy Bailey for the photos.

Seattle. Rainbow Dad, Allen C. White was at the Installation.The Installation went really well. The Installing Officers did a great job. We had a lot of fun. Lady Marjorie Burgher now our Jr. Past High Priestess was presented with her life membership by Lady Robbie Volpel, PHP, and Recorder, her past jewel was presented to her by her mother, Lady Marion Hunt, page to the trustees. The Al Kader Desert Patrol came and performed as Honor Guard, under the direction of Dave Simpson. The wives of The Desert Patrol also came. Noble Frank Brewington escorted me to the East. My daughters Kathy Pickett, Princess, and Elaina Brewing-ton, Page, brought my fez and gavel in. The daughters from Bethel # 4, in Portland, and Bethel # 38, in Vancouver performed the closing Cross. My two daughters, Kathy Pickett and Elaina Brewington, did the entertainment by belly dancing. After the entertainment everyone went to the dining room for salads, sandwiches, and a lot of other food. Jim Taylor and his wife Shirley took all the pictures of the Installation and they did a beautiful Job, and my thanks to them. I would like to thank everyone for coming and helping to make this Installation memo-rable for all of us.

major changes are on the agenda – including the changing of the rule where an LOS member may NOT wear her fez where alcohol is served. It would be beneficial to our order to have a higher profile presence and be able to wear our white fezes at Shrine functions.We will be participating in several upcoming parades including St. Helens, Tillamook and Baker City so look for us behind our Shriners in those parades. If you are a member from an outlying area and want to ride with us, we’d love to have you and get to know you better while promoting our cause. Contact Nora at (503) 318-2750 for more parade information.If you know of a lady who would like to join our fun group, contact Lady Phyllis 503-803-6567 or Nora Timm 503-654-0726. We are growing and have lots of fun planned for the year. Come join us!

The Ladies Oriental Shrine has been busy installing a new High Priestess, Lady Phyllis Brewington in April. We initiated 5 new members in February and have been having more Ladies show up at meetings since the weather is nicer too. We are actively trying to bid for the Western Area Organized Units Meet to be held in Portland in October, 2011 with the letter requesting permission to pursue the bid having been sent to the Grand Council already.Four Ladies are attending our annual Grand Council Session in Pittsburgh. Surely they will return with much enthusiasm and information on all the business that was handled there. Some

The CCSC hosted the spring meeting of the Shriners Hospital Oregon E-W all-star game Association at their meeting on Saturday May 9th at St. Helens. IS Rennie Johnson PP and Association Chairman Noble Tom Reeves; Hillah Shriners, and officers followed a full agenda of business items for the various committees of the association, member clubs, delegates and Ladies. Club President Noble Ken Ziegler, IS Ard Pratt, AKSC Potentate, IS Rennie PP, and SHC Kay Ekeya, Public Relations Specialist for the Portland Hospital joined three local E-W players, coaches and families at the player appreciation banquet. The dinner was prepared by Noble Ralph Jubb and served by the Club Ladies on Friday evening preceding the meeting. The evening was a delight and full of conservation about the E-W game successes over the past 56-year history of the game. Everyone thanks IS Rennie PP and Lady Doris and CCSC Club members for their role in planning the weekend event.We learned that this year's game will be honoring long time game supporter, the late Noble John Loveless, Hillah Shriners, a player in the 1953 game.The Club will not have a regular meeting in June or July but the traditional fundraising; picnic-style lunch after the St. Helens Community Parade on June 20th will be served.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 14th with a social and business program at the St. Helens Shrine Building.

CENTRAL OREGON SHRINE CLUBby Noble Jim McNamara, President

Players Dinner - Our May dinner meeting was a terrific evening. Special guests included: the three football players from Sisters and Culver High Schools who have been selected to participate in the 2009 East-West Shrine Football Game; the players’ parents; the Culver football coach and his wife.

Hospital Representative, Noble Don Hayhurrst and his Lady Sue were in attendance. Noble Don works in the Orthotics Department at the Shriner Children’s hospital in Portland; and he gave a most informative talk on the new orthotic devices that are available now to Shriner kids – at no cost to the Shriner kids - at the Hospital.Screening Clinic - Central Oregon Shrine Club continued its thirty-plus year tradition by holding an annual Shriners Hospital Screening Clinic on Saturday, May 16, 2009 at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend.Dr. James Hall, an Orthopedic Surgeon from The Center, in Bend, graciously donated his time to work with Ms. Angie LaBreck, RN, from SHC- Portland, to examine eight children who came from as far away as John Day.

Noble Tony and Lady Renate Taylor worked tirelessly prior to the clinic - and drove many miles - placing posters about the free screening clinic in schools and local businesses throughout Central Oregon and several nearby towns in Eastern Oregon, as well as working the entire day at the clinic. COSC Shriners and their Ladies also provided cookies and snacks. Noble Jack Royle and Patricia Vargas, a five year volunteer to the program, worked the registration desk during the entire screening clinic.


Eleven Shriners and ten Shriner Ladies provided snacks, visited with the families, and registered children to be screened for referral to the Shriners Hospital for Children in Portland.

LINN COUNTY SHRINE CLUBby Noble Mearl Kroker

On April 22 Linn County Shrine and Benton County Shrine Clubs met jointly to honor the selected players for the East-West Shrine All-Star Teams. We had nine players from the two counties with about 70 people in attendance at the dinner. Each player presented their family and coaches. The Sweet Home Coach, Rob Younger was attending his 26th annual dinner. Each coach talked about their players indicating what fine young men they are. Each player was presented with a large bath towel embroidered with "2009 E-W Shrine All-Star" in the appropriate color for their team.

Kay Weber representing the Portland Shrine Hospital was guest speaker for the evening. Potentate Ard Pratt closed the meeting with congratulations to each of the players.

SALEM SHRINE CLUBby Noble Ron Orlebeke

Club members and their Ladies are off to see "The Wizard" on Thursday, June 18th, when we will embark on our annual "Mys-tery Bus Trip." Club President Don Denton says, "They do serve wine." Cost is $10.00 per person, additionally each person is responsible for his or her lunch. In 1988, Noble Craig Marlette led the club on it's first mystery trip. The trip was re-introduced as a club activity last year, and proved so popular, it is not considered an annual club event. A tip of the Fez to Ladies Ruth Marlette and Margaret Novotny, who have been ill and both are at home and recuperating very well.

GRESHAM SHRINE CLUBby Noble Don Slezak

The Gresham Shrine Club will be dark during June, July and August. This doesn’t mean you can relax and forget about Shrine activities. There are parades, socials, golf tournaments and the never ending search for new members to keep you more than occupied through the summer. Hopefully it will stop raining soon so we can all get outdoors in the fresh air. Our next regularly scheduled meeting will be September 16, 2009 at the M & M Restaurant, 137 N Main, Gresham. The business meeting will be at 6:15 PM, the Oasis starts at 5:30 PM and dinner at 6:45 PM. Since our leaders say there will be no COLA until at least 2011 the cost for dinner should remain at $14.00 per person.At this time we don’t have a confirmed speaker or menu. As always, something good happens at the last moment so keep reading the Oasis and your mail for the latest and best information from the Shrine. In September the procedure for reservations will be the same: just call Donna Dennis at 503 665-3955 or Betty Stowell at 503 666-6134. Remember that all Shriners and Masons are welcome at our meetings. We always have an update on Shrine activities plus door prizes and a membership drawing. Invite a Mason who is not yet a Shriner to come to the meeting with you to see what he is missing.Have a HAPPY and SAFE SUMMER!

LINCOLN COUNTY SHRINE CLUB by Noble Gregory Armstrong - Sec/Treasurer

The April meeting of the Lincoln County Shrine Club was held at the Newport Masonic Lodge #85 on April 24, 2009. There were 11 members accompanied by their wives. We had as guest speaker Don Hayhurst and Lady Sue as Hospital Representatives. We were shown the latest in artificial limbs and arms also given a history of the Shriners Hospital and what is in service at this time along with a film.We were able to meet three of our East-West football players and their families from Siletz, Newport and Waldport. They were given their monogrammed towels and each one spoke about what position they play and how they were pleased to be chosen to play in the East-West Shrine football game. There was no business meeting and we all enjoyed the Broasted Chicken Dinner that Dave Huguley catered from his restaurant the Newport Steak & Seafood. May 2nd we had our 1st parade in Newport for Loyalty Days and afterwards we met at the Elks picnic grounds in Siletz. In spite of


The Tualatin Valley Shrine Club is dark during the months of June and July but we will gather in August for our annual picnic at Cook Park in Tigard. This event is still set for Wednesday, August 19th at 5:00 PM. Make sure you save that date and time. We will not be meeting in September because of the Crab Louis Dinner. The next general meeting of the Tualatin Valley Shrine Club will be in October 2009 but we have not yet decided on a venue, date, time or place. Stay tuned to this column for more information as we get closer to October.Have a safe summer.

TUALATIN VALLEY SHRINE CLUB by Noble Herb Richardson

Well here it is June already. It’s time to find a nice oasis and set up the tents for the hot days of summer ahead. The Tualatin Valley Shrine Club had a nice attendance at the April 15th meeting with twelve Nobles and five Ladies present for the meeting and a light lunch at the Beaverton Elks Club. Although we lacked a guest speaker or entertainment, we never-the-less had a fine social exchange and managed to cover several items of business.The main topic of discussion around the lunch table was the possibility of closing some of the Shriners Hospitals to cut costs. It was pointed out by a few Nobles that the Portland Hospital was probably safe for a while and that the hospital construction and expansion was still going ahead. It was indicated though that there would probably be some cuts in the budget and that the immediate or long term effects were unknown.That conversation quickly turned to the hospital transportation fund and the fact that the need is far greater then the resources currently available. So the club ponied up a few bucks to go to the Hospital Transportation Fund as we felt the need was too great to ignore.The Tualatin Valley Shrine Club launched the ticket sales for the annual Crab Louis Dinner to be held at the Shrine Center on September 13th. The tickets were distributed to the club officers and are available at the Shrine office in Wilsonville. If purchasing from a club member, it is cash or check payable to the TV Shrine Club only but the Shrine Center can do a credit card transaction for you. Groups of 8, 12 or 20 are available for large parties if desired. Tickets are $20.00 each and everybody is encouraged to buy your tickets early as this promises to be a sell-out event. Only 400 tickets will be sold. So put this date on your calendars. If you have anything that would be suitable as prizes for the raffle and the wheels of chance we would like to start gathering those treasures as soon as possible. If you have those unopened bottles of liquor and fine wine that are just taking up space on your shelves consider setting them aside for the games in September. And remember that this event is open to the general public.The Shrine Hospital has finally gotten the signage on the new Sprinter van. Wow, how long has that taken? At any rate, it is a beautiful thing. The best part is that it did not cost a King’s ransom. As some of you may recall from our Shrine Club meet-ings and from this column that we had some money left over in the Wheelchair Lift Fund that many clubs and individuals contrib-uted to. Well, we paid for the van signage from that account and still have some money left over. The remainder of the funds have been released to the hospital to help pay for fuel for the fleet as that account is currently very low. Thanks to all of the contributors that helped to make this happen.


Maybe Dave can work in a picture that I’ll sendalong with this article.

The Forget Me NotsBy Lady Nancy Berry

Our lunch at the China Bay in Beaverton was served family style at the China Bay restaurant in Beaverton in April. The service was excellent, the food delicious, and most of us had a “doggy box” to take home. To our special member Lady Grace Grove--we are so sorry to hear of your accident and we wish you a very speedy recovery. Lady Jan Ferlisi has agreed to step in and have our picnic at her home this year, but we want you to know, Lady Grace, that we are planning our 2010 picnic in your pretty backyard!Ladies, mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 18th for the annual picnic.

Volunteers Honor Nightby Lady Jennifer Moyer, Guest Reporter

Al Kader Shrine Center was turned into a 1920's style speakeasy on April 26th for the annual Hospital Volunteers' Award Banquet. There were flappers, G-men, bathtub gin and a few Zoot suits scattered among the various games of chance to be played.Chef Ralph Jubb and his crew provided a very nice dinner for the party goers and the hooch was poured for those with the appropri-ate password by Dennis Grennan. After a raid by the G-men (SHC-Portland Board members) and the capture of the notorious Trixie LaRue (Joan Blizzard), the award ceremony got under way.Certificates and pins were awarded for hours of service ranging from 50 up to 4,500 accumulated total hours. Many volunteers were honored for their years of service, some for as long as 40

Al Kader OASIS - June 2009 - Page 19 OSQ109PGBT

Shriners Hospitals for Children saved his life, and 11-year-old Daniel Happy is excited about giving back.

The fifth-grader survived second- and third-degree burns to more than 95 percent of his body after a plane crashed into his family’s Orlando home in July 2007.

Only hours after the crash, Daniel was rushed to Shriners Hospitals for Children — Cincinnati. Though he was not expected to survive his inju-ries, Daniel defied the odds again and again, and made tremendous progress during the seven months he spent at the hospital.

Daniel and his mother moved to Cincinnati so he could continue his recovery as an outpatient, and he became a student at a local elemen-tary school, St. Dominic School. His transition from patient to student was eased by the hospital’s school re-entry program, which helps burn survivors re-acclimate to typical social situa-tions and provides their classmates with an opportunity to learn lessons of empathy and acceptance. Before

Daniel began attending classes, hospi-tal employees held an initial meeting with the school’s teachers, admin-istrators and staff, and then another meeting with students his age. Since the inception of this school re-entry program, approximately 85 to 90 percent of our patients have returned to school after suffering a significant burn injury.

When the school’s principal ap-proached Daniel’s mother about doing something for the health care system in Daniel’s honor, he learned about the programs to recycle aluminum tabs to benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children — Cincinnati. The tabs on the top of soda cans can be turned in for money at recycling plants, where they are worth approximately 40 to 50 cents per pound.

Daniel’s school had been involved with similar projects in the past and set a goal of collecting 1 million pull tabs. After just a few short months, Daniel and his classmates reached

their goal. The proceeds from the tabs will help provide patient clothing, special wheelchairs, DVD players, bingo prizes, games and toys for patients at Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Daniel is still healing and will undergo multiple skin grafts as he grows. He often wears protective garments over his hands, arms and much of his body, and spends time in physical therapy, gaining strength and stretching.

Though Daniel admits the ordeal has changed him, he is determined to get back to the business of being a kid. He learned to walk and ride his bike again, and is setting his sights on learning to run.

If you would like information about how to start a can tab project to benefit Shriners Hospitals for Chil-dren, please contact Cherie Girard at Shriners International Headquarters at (813) 281-8134.

A Short History of Flag DayThough the origin of Flag Day dates back to the late 19th century, its inspiration takes us further back to 1777. On June 14th of that year, in Philadelphia, the Continental Congress passed a resolu-tion specifying that the flag carry 13 stripes and 13 stars. The colors would represent hardiness and valor (red), purity and innocence (white), and vigilance, perseverance and justice (blue).The concept of a specific day to annually recognize the American Flag came 108 years later. In 1885, a Fredonia, Wisconsin schoolteacher, B.J. Cigrand, arranged for the students in his school district to observe the resolution on June 14th as ‘Flag Birthday’. In 1889, George Balch, a kindergarten teacher in New York City, planned similar festivities for his school’s students. In 1893, Philadelphia became the first city to celebrate Flag Day, and in the following year, New York was the first state to observe June 14th. After decades of expanding community observances, President Woodrow Wilson established Flag Day on May 30, 1916.Still many communities did not celebrate Flag Day. It wasn’t until 1949, when President Harry Truman signed into an Act of Congress that National Flag Day be observed every June 14th. The Unites States Flag Code, as adopted by Congress, states “The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing.” This is why we should give the flag our full respect.
