All salaam Sir Nobles, Lady Nobles and Sultanas October 2019
GRAND COMMANDERS COMMENTS:
Last month I mentioned that Ronda Caravan # 94 from the L.A. area was disbanding and 6 of the remaining members were transferring to Ben Ziri. I’ll mention their names again: LOUIS DARIN…….CARL FISCHER……. LARRY LAWRENCE……. TED NAPOLITANO……. DOM PIZZULLI……… and BOB SANTOS. Aben Zoar Caravan # 133 from the L.A area also disbanded recently and 9 of the remaining members also transferred to Ben Ziri, they were: KENO BACA……… CHRIS BRAUN…….. VINCE BRAUN….. ANTHONY CASTANEDA….. JOHN GATT…… JOHN GILI…… MICHAEL MILLER…… TOM RATCHFORD……..and RONALD SANCHEZ. Once again I want to welcome each of them to Ben Ziri and thank them for remaining active members of the Order of Alhambra and hope we will see them at some of our future events.
Our new Supreme Commander, J. R. BLACK, sent a letter regarding the Order’s membership. The request in his letter is very important and is attached to this month’s Fez Sez for everyone to read.
My final comment is about our Caravan’s event on Saturday October 26th. I hope your planning to attend, it should be a FUN day. Please read the attached proclamation for all the details.
..Mike Caligiuri, Grand Commander
Proposed list of Ben Ziri Caravan Officers for 2020
The following list is composed of Sir Nobles and Lady Nobles who have been contacted and agreed to serve, if elected, on the Ben Ziri Officer’s Divan for the coming year. Any other member desiring to run for office should contact the Grand Commander as soon as possible and ask to be added to the list of candidates. The more members that are willing to seek office the better it is for the caravan. The election of officers will be held during the October 17, 2019 caravan meeting. This is a very important meeting for the future of the caravan and all members are urged to attend. Refreshments will be available after the meeting.
