6. Nobles, we are distressed that the morals of some have caused.these orders. However, you have been
forewamedover and over about the breeding ground of drugs, excessive drinking, fights, and the
language that has caused 200 members to quit coming and paying dues because they will not subject
their wives to the cursing that occurs every night. Club officers have totally disregarded Shrine Law,
Club bylaws and common business practices. Club officers have totally disregarded the Potentates
directives. The Club has repeatedly given ILLEAGAL donations to other charities in accordance with
Shrine law and charitable fundraising. The Temple has received letter after letter and phone call after
phone call complaining of the immoral conduct that exists. TillS WILL STOP OR ELSE OTHER
MEASURES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED. (Article 37,337.3) ~ (1986 Proceedings) "The
Potentate having control over a Shrine Club may, dUringhis term in office, terminate its existence, and
he may authorize the formation of a new Shrine Club."
