Boss Klown

[TJ]

Sorry I've been away guys (and gals). I've been so busy I don't know if I'm coming or going these days. Family activities and my Masonic affiliations have kept me very busy of late.

Well, you know how the saying goes, "The busiest Man gets things done." I don't know who said it, but it is true. So, here I am...Boss Klown of my Shriner Klown Unit this year.

It's a huge honor. The work we do draws attention to our philanthropy: Shriners Hospital for Children. (Shriners Hospitals for Children -Shriners Hospitals for Children) I'm truly humbled by it and proud to serve my Unit in this fashion.

I'm also the Master of my Lodge (That's the Boss Klown of the Lodge), and an officer in another Masonic body. I'm a member of yet another Masonic body too.

So, now you know where I've been.

I've missed you all and I hope not to stay away for so long again.

Nice to hear from you, I 've had several clients through the years that have benefited from surgical care provided by the shrinners hospital.

Congratulations TJ. Glad life is trating you so well.

Thanks, everyone!

I'm so excited. It's going to be a whole lot of fun this year. Klowning of course tops the list.

My Unit will be doing the George Washington's Brithday Parade in Alexandria, Virginia on 18 February. This is a yearly tradition for us. As is the St. Patrick's Day Parade in the same town. This year on 01 March. In April we'll be marching with the Almas Shriner Klowns at the National Cherry Blossom Parade in Washington, DC. Following that, we might get to do the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Parade in Winchester, Virginia. (Insurance Issues need to be resolved first.) That will take us through the Spring.

We have various other events at the Shrine Temple too. An Easter Egg Hunt, a puppet show, our monthly meetings and other functions.

I'm thankful to have a great group of Klowns in my unit too. One of the guys is 80+ years old. He dresses out and marches in every parade too. He's amazing.

Anyway. I just wanted to give you all an update.

Here's a picture of my wife and I at a recent Shriner Event:
