Short Form Ceremonial

Shriners Headquarters has approved us to perform a short form ceremonial to initiate new candidates in conjunction with the CSSA Ceremonial. The ceremonial will be conducted at 7:30am, September 12, 2009 on the Fountain, CO City Hall steps prior to the CSSA parade. Al Kaly Ritual Team members will perform the ritual which is open to the public. We’ve done this before so – trust us!

Our goal is a minimum of one new noble per temple. Obviously, more is better. The way we would like to work this is to have the candidates submit petitions to the temple they will join, paying the required fees of the temple. Bring their fezzes for a ceremony following the short form ritual (hopefully first line signers will do this). Unless you have the new nobles earmarked as part of your temple parade or unit, we will have all new nobles parade together, in cars, near the front of the parade.

By September 1, 2009, please send the name, temple, who will fez, and whether or not they will parade with your temple or with the new nobles to the Al Kaly Shriners Office as follows:

This gives us the opportunity to compile a master list and also determine the number of vehicles we will need to transport them in the parade. If you have any questions, please contact Ill Sir Bart Guthrie, Recorder and Director General at (719) 544-0658 (Office) or (719) 640-4647 (Cell).
