Save the date!! Starlight Shrine's annual fund raising event will be held on Saturday, August 7, 2010. As our Shrine celebrates its 50th year, this year's theme will be a "1950's Sock Hop". More details will be forthcoming as plans are firmed up. However, I have been in communication with a friend I know who dances and he has agreed to help with getting a couple of couples together for a swing dance demonstration. So, dig out those poodle skirts and bobby socks, tell your family and friends about it, and get ready to have some fun!!
Soj. Paula Phillips will be celebrating her 80th birthday on August 7th! (Watch here in the blog for the July and August birthday list as the dates draw nearer.)
Congratulations to these Sojourners who were installed into their offices this past Saturday: Soj. Monie Mendoza, PWHP, as Third Handmaid; Soj. Elizabeth Hannon as Worthy Treasurer; and Soj. Kit Trochtenberg as Worthy Guardian.
Soj. Paula Phillips missed the meeting Saturday due to throwing her back out while carrying luggage through the airport because she and Soj. Fran were unable to take the luggage cart past the security checkpoint. Please pray for her speedy recovery.
Soj. Connie Arrowsmith is home recuperating from the blood clot in her leg and resting in order to be able to have a long awaited eye appointment and for fitting with special contact lenses to improve her visual impairment. Please pray for her healing and success of her eye treatment.
It was reported Saturday that Soj. Maggie Cottle is settling into her new living arrangements, but she would like to have contact by the members, as she is a bit lonely. She has an apartment there and is living "independently"."
Soj. Chris DiGuilio continues to recuperate from her surgeries. Soj. Sharene Parini and Soj. Dale Iness were both absent from the meeting due to health reasons. Please keep these Sojourners in prayer for their recoveries.
Soj. Shirley Davis and Soj. Monie Mendoza continue to recover their health and it was good to see them both at the meeting on Saturday! Soj. Monie says that the good news is that she does not have to have carpel tunnel surgery on her arm as the pain in her wrist is from the shoulder surgery and it will take longer to recover than she initially was lead to believe. Her anticipated recovery time will be 8 to 12 months instead. She continues with physical therapy for a couple more months and then she may be able to drive again at that time. Soj. LaVerne Willman has been absolutely wonderful in helping drive Soj. Monie to all of her doctor appointments. Soj. Shirley has also been wonderful in helping Soj. Monie by taking her to grocery store, etc.
Soj. Roger Noyes is improving and his surgeons are optimistic that they can "put him back together again", hopefully sometime in September or October. He is getting stronger and he's able to be at home for longer periods of time each time he leaves the assisted living facility.
Soj. Wendy Jackson will be in the Southern Nevada area for a visit soon. She will be combining her & her husband's vacationing with house sitting for me (Soj. Pam Noyes) while Tim and I go to upstate New York so I can meet his family and we can see the two new granddaughters who were born recently.

Dear Sojourners:
We have been saddened by the passing of one of our Sojourners. Robert Page, PWOS of Star of The East Shrine, St. Paul, MN passed away June 2, 2010. Sojourner Bob had been very ill in the hospital for over a week. Many of you will remember Bob as giving of much time and dedication to our beautiful Order. Bob is survived by his three sons, Lawrence, PSWOS, Robert and Stephen, 3 Daughters-In-Law, 6 Grandchildren and five great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife, Soj. Stephanie Page, PSWHP. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. Cards may be sent to Lawrence Page. (Please contact Starlight Shrine #1 Blog for the address if you need it. Thanks.)
