President’s Message
To date 2008 has been a
very successful year in records to monies collected
for the Mahi Transportation Fund benefiting the
children receiving care at the twenty two Shrine
Hospitals.
To date the Marathon
Shrine Keyettes have contributed $10,000.00, along
with the Martathon Shrine Club raising an additional
$15,000.00, for a total of $25,000.00.
The Month of March begins
with the start of the Shrine Club Plaque Drive ,
followed by hosting the Marathon Little League
cooking hot dogs and hamburgers at no cost
on Saturday, March 8th.
On Sunday, March 9th, the Shrine
Club will provide breakfast and lunch at Key Colony
Day, from 7:00 a.m. until 4:00 pm. The Marathon
Keyettes will hold their annual Fashion Show
on Wednesday, March 19th at Marble
Hall, Key Colony Beach . We will end the month with
our annual Noble Bill Jones Fish Fry to be held at
the Marathon Moose Lodge
on Thursday, March 27th.
On Sunday, March 30th will hold
the first Shrine Pig Roast, held at Ill. Sir. George
Mitch’s yard at 1470 Overseas Highway , the event
will be held from
12:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m., providing pig,
ham, rice and black beans, and music by Michael J.
Beginning in April,
on Sunday, April 6th, we will
travel to
Miami on the Shrine Bus to tailgate and enjoy
a professional baseball game between the
Florida Marlins and the
Pittsburgh Pirates. And the final event of
the spring will be our Bon Voyage Party before all
our snowbird Nobles leave at the Marathon Elks Club
on Wednesday, April 9th.
It has truly been a busy
first part of the year, and our success could not
have been accomplished without the tireless help of
all of our members, and the great support of the
Keyettes
Should you like to join us
in any of the upcoming events, or require more
information, please free to contact either myself,
or any of the Officers or Directors.
Respectfully, David
Ruthenberg
