Chaplain’s Report
by Noble Steven Levin
I would like to address the Nobility with a few brief
remarks if I may.
I respectfully wish to thank our impending Potentate
Carl Thompson for the very distinct honor of
having been asked by him to serve in the position of
Chaplain for the coming year.
In addition, please allow me to offer my public thanks
to both Nobles Carson Bailey and Kenton Wolfe for
the time and material they so graciously shared with
me while I have been preparing to try to measure
up to the incredible examples they have established
during their respective years in that position.
I would in closing this small statement, like to inform

Please don’t hesitate for one second if my service to
you and your family is ever needed.
Thank you and I wish everyone a wonderful holiday
season and a joyous new year ahead.

18 CALENDAR
Al Kader Oasis - January 2020 OF COMING EVENTS
Please note that all dates and events shown here are subject to change without noticePROPOSED BYLAW CHANGES
It is the recommendation of Shriners International that the Al Kader Bylaws be corrected as follows:
• Article II -§323.13 should be changed to §323.12, because there is no §323.13.
• Article IV, Section 8 -§325.9 should be changed to §325.10, which is the correct section for election of
Representatives, and "Imperial Bylaws" should be corrected to "bylaws of Shriners International", which
is the correct identity of the corporation.
• Article IV, Section 9 -§325.9 should be changed to §325.11, which is the correct section for Election
Regulations.
• Article V, Section 2 -"The Imperial Council" should be changed to "Shriners International", which is the
correct identity of the corporation.
• Article VII, Section 1-§332.1(i) should be changed to §332.1(e), which is the correct section for changes
to initiation fees.
• Article VII, Section 3, (A) -"the Imperial Council" should be changed to "Shriners International", which
is the correct identity of the corporation, and "Imperial By-laws" should be changed to "bylaws of
Shriners International", for the same reason.
• Article VII, Section 5, (A)-"Article 23 -§323.12" should be changed to "Article 32 -§332.6", which is the
correct section for life memberships for Meritorious Service.
• Article VIII, Section 3 -"Article 27 -§327.8(d) and" should be stricken because that section relates to
notices for meetings of the Board of Directors and is unrelated to budgeting.
• Article VIII, Section 8 -§334.5 should be changed to §334.6, which is the correct section for audits.
Furthermore the Executive Board has recommended the following changes to the bylaws:
• Article IX, Section 1, (A) and (B) – The Property Management Committee be renamed the Facilities
Committee and all references thereto be changed accordingly.
• Article IX, Section 1, (A) – The Facilities Committee shall be comprised of the Chief Rabban, Assistant
Rabban, and the Facilities Manager. In addition, the executive board shall appoint no less than one Past
Potentate, and two Nobles to the committee.
• Article X, Section 4, – The Director of Units or one of his Staff Officers shall issue directives approved
by the Potentate to the Units and hold meetings as instructed by the Potentate with the executive
officers of the units to discuss unit involvement in Temple activities and other concerning Temple
matters.
