SCAFRA Oct.6-7-8 2016 New Shrine Fund Raiser

ANNUAL MEETING and SEMINAR   October 6, 7, 8 2016
You’re All     Welcome In    Billings
President    Dick Paul P.P.
On behalf of the Board of SCAFRA and the members of Al Bedoo Temple let
me invite you to attend the 30th Annual Meeting and Seminar for the members
of SCAFRA. Our Director General, Larry Tipton P.P. and past Circus Chair
for Al Bedoo has the wheels in motion for a great and informative seminar and
a lot of fun in the off hours.
Our theme in 2016 is to go back to the 50s with a classic car show as well as
some of your favorite Juke Box music and tremendous western cooking. The
program is being finalized and we have a tentative program for you to review
in this edition of the Fund Raiser.
We in the Shrine are facing some very significant challenges with fund raising
the most critical for our operational survival. The key to all this is finding new
members and of course a lot of hard work. We hope we will have some new
ideas and showcase successful fund raising teams at this years seminar.
Come and enjoy some Western hospitality and take home valuable ideas for
your future.

TENTATIVE  AGENDA OF SEMINAR FOR NOBLES  October 6,7,8
We are pleased to confirm registration costs for both the Nobles and the Ladies will remain the same as in previous years: $330 per Noble and $150 per Lady.

The Hotel, we will be holding the seminar in, has been confirmed: the Billings Hotel and Convention Center in Billings Montana, Great location!

 The Billings committee have selected using the Al Bedoo Shrine Center for all events,which is a short 7 - 10 minute drive from the hotel. They will have a continuous shuttle service available that will be convenient and on time for all events. Al Bedoo is the host for the PNSA summer session
this year and they will be well practiced in shuttling members to and from the hotel and the Shrine Center.
