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.
