Three new nobles were created at the Wednesday March 8th LRSC meeting. We would like to welcome Keith Goulding, Ben Simms and Lloyd Morgan. Thanks to Noble Lloyd Walters for doing the organizing not once but twice. Plans to do the initiation last month had to be canceled at the last minute due to weather. The LRSC Nobles ladies were in attendance and the new Nobles were adorned with their own fez by their ladies.

Tickets were sold at many of the Shrine Club visit in Newfoundland and Labrador as well as at the annual Mazol Shriners Golf Tournament. At this golf tournament there was a member of the Montreal Hospital Board, Noble David Merritt. He bought several tickets on this print and to his surprise was the winner. By selling tickets on this print, Mazol Shriners raised $1,000 for the Patient Transportation Fund.
