Nobles and Ladies! Let's get corporate sponsors
for our circus (the largest fundraiser for Murat), and let's
do it in memory of our late Circus Director, Larry Selig.
Larry recently passed away while he and Adrian were vacationing
in the Czech Republic. Let us continue Larry's efforts to
make our circus a great success!
The 63rd Annual Murat Shrine Circus will be held from February
28 through March 2, 2008 in the Pepsi Coliseum at the Indiana
State Fairgrounds.
A successful circus will be assured by having a successful
Corporate Sponsorship Program. Corporate Sponsorships are
available in amounts of $500, $1,000 and $2,500. At each
level, a plaque is presented, the name of the Sponsor is
listed in the Activity Book and the sponsor receives two
complimentary tickets to the the Ringmaster's Banquet. In
addition, a $500 sponsor receives 20 tickets to the circus.
A $1,000 sponsor receives 40 tickets, and a $2,500 sponsor
receives 100 tickets.
Clubs and Units can now be a part of the Corporate Sponsorship
Program! If a Murat Club or Unit contributes as a Corporate
Sponsor, the Club/Unit will receive the same "rewards" listed
above for personal and company sponsorships.
Note: This
is a great way for a Club/Unit to provide tickets to children
and adults in their community.
All Nobles and their Ladies are urged to go out and get a
Corporate Sponsor. Remember, a successful Shrine Circus means
another successful year of excitement for thousands of school
children, physically/mentally challenged children and adults
and the public in general. The Shrine Circus is our greatest
public relations tool we have by raising awareness for membership
and getting potential Shriners Hospital patients.
Please do not forget - We must make all corporate sponsors,
advertising purchasers and ticket purchasers aware the circus
is a fraternal fundraiser, and payments are NOT tax deductible
as charitable contributions.
Contact the Shrine Office, Larry Jefferson or Lin Coner to
get more information and Corporate Sponsorship forms. The
time is now! Get out there and search for Corporate Sponsors.
The "rewards" will be many.
Thank you for helping.
Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl Pin Set
As a Murat fundraiser,
Sports Mint Editions is producing a beautifully framed and
matted pin set, consisting of a Super Bowl pin and a Colts
logo. Only 750 sets will be produced, which should enhance
future value as a collectible. The earlier you order, the lower
the serial number. Go to www.sportsminteditions.com/shop/index.php?source=indshriners to place your order, and you will see a photo of the framed
set. If you choose to order by phone, call 404-766-4428.
This would be a great
gift for a Colts fan. The
price is $89.99 plus shipping and handling. Murat receives
a portion of each sale, to support its
fraternal operations. Payments are not tax deductible
as charitable contributions.
