Identification of photograph in commercial advertisement as a former temple Potentate violates Shrine Law. 1975 Proceedings, p. 20. The use of a business card showing a photograph of a Noble in his Fez is a violation of §335.2(a). 1979 Proceedings, p. 170. Repeated use of a reference to “Nobles” throughout an adver- tisement, in the guise of an open letter from an insurance company to the members of the temple, is a violation of §335.2(a); and casting such advertisement in the guise of a fund raising project for Shriners Hospitals without the approval of the Boards of Directors and Trustees is a violation of §503.6. 1989 Proceedings, p. 208. Placement of beer logo on building marquee advertising future events violates this section. § 335.3 1971 Proceedings, p. 94. Although §335.1 does not prohibit lotteries in states or prov- inces in which lotteries are licensed by the government, a “Shriners Hospitals Sweepstakes” may not be conducted without the written consent of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees under §335.3. 1976 Proceedings, p. 177. Use of the term “unfortunate children” in connection with a temple fundraising activity would violate §335.3 unless the activity has the approval of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. 1979 Proceedings, p. 170. Repeated use of a reference to “Nobles” throughout an adver- tisement, in the guise of an open letter from an insurance company to the members of the temple, is a violation of §335.2(a); and casting such advertisement in the guise of a fund raising project for Shriners Hospitals without the approval of the Boards of Directors and Trustees is a violation of §335.3. 1995 Proceedings, p. 142. The proceeds from charitable fund raising events, less allowable deductions as determined by Shrine law, must be promptly remitted to Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Unless permission is first obtained under §335.4(a), the forma- tion of a foundation for the purpose of maintaining a burns treatment ward in a local hospi- tal is forbidden. 1975 Proceedings, p. 20.

Lists for social use not prohibited. Business or advertising pur- poses prohibited. 1967 Proceedings, p. 83. Promotion of a Shrine circus is not such a business purpose as precludes the use of a list of a temple membership in such activity. 1967 Proceedings, p. 84.

The use of a temple mailing list by the Building Fund Committee of a Masonic Temple Association, which owns the building in which the temple is housed, to solicit funds to remodel the building is not proscribed by §335.6(a) because the use is not for a business purpose. 1979 Proceedings, p. 171. §335.6(a) relates to circulation of members of a temple for business purposes, and it does not forbid the use of temple mailing lists for promotional pur- poses by the Scottish Rite.
