All salaam Sir Nobles, Lady Nobles and Sultanas August 2020
GRAND COMMANDERS COMMENTS:
As you know the Supreme Commander of the Order of Alhambra has suspended all physical meetings of the Caravans until the threat of the coronavirus has subsided. Because of this order and the good common sense of Ben Ziri Caravan members we were not able to have the St. Patty’s Day Social. It is at this social that Ben Ziri Caravan honors our members who have passed on since the last St. Patty’s Day Social. We present scholarships in their names to students studying for post graduate degrees in the Special Education Department Of San Diego State University. After waiting hopefully for almost four months and finally coming to the realization that it would be impossible to present the scholarships at a social at any time soon the Scholarship Committee decided to allow Dr. Laura Hall; the head of the Special Education Department; to award the scholarships to the recipients. Dr. Laura has done this and has promised to send letters to the next of kin of each of the Honorees notifying them that this has been done. As Chairman of the Scholarship Committee I have also notified each of the next of kin and explained why the awards were not done at a social as in years past. Everybody agrees that the year 2020 has not been a typical year and we have all been forced to improvise on many matters both large and small. To refresh your memories I will list those members of Ben Ziri Caravan whom we honored with the presentation of scholarships this year.
Honorees
Sultana Grace Henry
Lady Noble Thelma Poorman
Lady Noble Margaret Owen
Sultana Margarite Duran
Sir Noble James Nilles
Sir Noble Herb Man
Sultana Joan McDonald
These seven people were beloved members of Ben Ziri Caravan and they will be sorely missed. I am sure their loved ones would appreciate a phone call or a card from our members who remember them fondly.
