The Annual Shrine Circus is one of the largest fund-raising events sponsored by the Shriners. The Shrine Circus provides a quality, fun-filled, family experience with proceeds going to a great cause—the good work of Shriners in your community. Whether you’re buying tickets or advertising in our souvenir program, your support is greatly appreciated.

Shriners are part of the system that operates 22 hospitals, all with one objective:  To provide the very best medical care for children under 18 years of age, free of charge to the patient.  Our burns hospitals are second to none.  Boston , Cincinnati , Galveston and of course Northern California in Sacramento .  The level of expertise is so high burned children in northern Nevada and much of California will be flown directly to Sacramento regardless of the geographical point of injury.

Shriners belong to an international fraternity of approximately 450,000 members throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Panama. Founded in 1872, the Shrine is best known for its unique parades, its distinctive red fez, and its official philanthropy, children’s hospitals.

Kerak has of course several Shrine Clubs.  A Club is the Temple away from home.  As far south as Bishop and east to Elko.  4½ hours in each direction.  There are also Shrine Units.  Crescent Club, Golf Club, Winnemucca Tin Lizzies, Honda Hotshots, The Arabian Band, Stagecraft, Greeters, Klowns, Patrol Provost Marshalls, Karavaners and of course the Wrecking Crew.  These are all the guys you see in their chosen regalia enjoying participation in the many parades we attend.

One of the great things about doing real estate in the Reno/Sparks area is being associated with Realty World.  When it comes to the new technology being brought to the market, Realty World has some of the best technology people you will ever meet.  They make it appoint to keep us all informed on what is new and a must have for the industry.

The newest is the Apple iPad.  If I had to describe the Apple iPad in one word, that word would be “wow”.  The new iPad will be available in 60 days and starts below $500.00 and goes up from there.  It has 9.7″ screen and a battery life up to 10 hours.  16GB – 64GB flash storage memory.

One of the best accessories is the keyboard doc/charger.  By placing the iPad into the keyboard a person has a full size keyboard while charging the Ipad.
