Alec loves getting to know others, so to help raise awareness about our health care system, he has been video chatting with some famous friends and playing a few virtual games to learn more about them. The guest list so far has included actors Scott Eastwood and Terry Crews, actress Cobie Smulders and rapper/actor Ludacris. Click the image above to watch Alec play “Two Truths and a Lie” with actor (and son of Clint Eastwood), Scott Eastwood. Click here for a library of all the Alec Presents videos to date. For Shriners by Shriners Jamestown Shrine Club and El Zagal Shriners are raising awareness for the fraternity in a unique way. They have installed a giant metal fez in their community of Jamestown, North Dakota. The fez is 7 feet, 6 inches tall by 8 feet, 6 inches wide, weighs 1,050 pounds, and also has a “tassel” made of 1-inch nylon rope. The fez was made by Wrigley Mechanical, a company owned by Blake Wrigley, Past Potentate of El Zagal. The group has applied to the Guinness World Records for the world’s largest fez designation. The oversized fez even gained the attention of the local media. Click the image above to read the full story. Does your temple or club have an off-the-wall way of attracting attention in your area? We would love to hear about it! Email [email protected] and let us know. Havin' Fun in '21 at Imperial Session in Houston The 147th Imperial Session of Shriners International is planned for July 4 – 8, 2021 in “Space City” – Houston, Texas. The session committee is looking forward to presenting a safe and exciting time of fun and fellowship for nobles and their families, particularly since we missed out on last year’s traditional gathering. In collaboration with the City of Houston, we are putting together a thorough safety plan. In addition, the George R. Brown Convention Center has made significant enhancements to its facility including installing a biodefense filtration technology proven to eliminate SARS- CoV-2 and other airborne contaminants. With more than 10,000 restaurants, parks and green spaces for outdoor activities, museums and attractions, and tours for all interests, there is something for each of you to experience in Houston. Imperial Session is all about Nobles gathering together for fun and fellowship, and we have a variety of social activities planned for all to enjoy. Imperial Sir Jim Smith is excited to be hosting a special cornhole tournament at Session and has challenged every temple to field a team to compete. Organizers are also planning a bus trip to Galveston to tour our facility that recently merged with the Houston location to create Shriners Children’s Texas. We look forward to “Havin’ Fun in ’21” with you in Houston this summer. Membership & Marketing Virtual Events The SIEF Noble Academy Membership and Marketing Virtual Event #2 was a huge success with hundreds of nobles and members of Masonic and ladies’ organizations from around the world viewing the live event. The first presenter, Christian D. Moore, Executive Director of DeMolay International, spoke about the processes and tools for planning a memorable event. The second seminar featured Illustrious Sir David Krogh of Abu Bekr Shriners and Tammy Robbins, Regional Marketing Director at Shriners Hospitals. Tammy and David presented “10 Easy Steps for Telling Your Temple’s Story.” Click the image above to watch an excerpt from that presentation.
