Roger, Jennifer, daughter Brittney and son Austin. Pote’s Notes Nine years and 3 days. That is the length of time since I stood before you all for the first time as your Outer Guard. A lot of time has passed since that cold Roger Berge and icy January day in 2005 and a lot of things have changed. We have a new building, some new units and clubs and many many new Nobles. I have grown personally and professionally thanks to all of you, I have learned to be a better Shrine Mason because of you, I have learned a greater value and importance of family because of you. Osman has done many things for me and I would like to think I am giving something back. I have held many positions in Osman and in the Masonic Lodge during my years on the Divan and while going through the chairs at Lodge, but one thing has not changed; I still have a strong focus on Membership. I saw a need to change and grow in 2005 and picked my theme that year and I was told I was being kinda bold naming my theme the day I was appointed as Outer Guard. I’ll tell you it may have been bold but it is the same theme today as it was in January 2005. “ABC-123 Back to the Basics”. Back to the Basics doesn’t mean we need to do what we did 20, 50 or even 100 years ago. Back to the Basics simply means we need to be New and Innovative like the 13 Masons that started this Great Shrine. Come up with new ideas, new units, new games, new parties and pretty soon we’ll have New Nobles. Friends want to have fun with friends and if we provide fun we will grow and keep the Nobles we have. This year we are going to create 99 new Nobles, How? Simple, Just Ask. One way to build Osman Shrine is to build the Blue Lodges within our area. Just think if every one of us brought in 1 new Bother Mason to Lodge and saw them through the degrees we would have 275 new Nobles. How you ask? Simple, it’s proven that appx. 25% of all Masons will join the Shrine and with almost 1200 strong in Osman we can surely get a 10% jump on new creations. Osman’s Membership Chairman Mike Yankovec and I are looking forward to attaining this goal and working with you to make it. I look forward to serving you over the next twelve months and will not take for granted the trust you have all put in me to serve as Potentate of Osman Shrine. Fraternally Yours Roger H.

We had a grand time, and were glad to bring the party to Darwin, who has a bit of difficulty getting around. The Chanter guys are always willing to help one another out. December 14th we gave a concert for residents of a retirement home. All of the active Chanter members showed up to sing. Barb Korum was at her usual place at the piano. Following the concert, we adjourned to Joseph’s restaurant for dinner before heading home after a very satisfying evening. We were surprised to see the Sheiks there too, having their Christmas party. We raided their party to sing “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and all in all everyone had a nice evening.

Officers: Captain Erik Seavey First Lieutenant Paul Kuehl Senior Second Lieutenant TBD Junior Second Lieutenant Kelly O’Neil January 2014 Clowns Holiday Party Page 7 Mighty Mites Greetings from the Mighty Mites The annual Mighty Mites Christmas party was held at Joseph’s Grill in St. Paul this year with most of our members in attendance. In addition to our members, we enjoyed the company of three of our officers from Osman. Our Potentate, Donald Harmsen along with High Priest and Prophet, Bruce Thomas and his Lady Terri in addition to our Oriental Guide, Rich Purcell and his Lady Sharon were kind enough to share their busy holiday season with us. It was truly a great evening planned by Art Lemke and Gary Hoven. Gatherings of this size and significance take time, planning, and follow-through. We as members thank Art for bringing us together to share this social event with our Ladies and Shrine friends. Also, Gary as our MC was exceptional with his wit and attention to detail. Membership in this group allows me to reflect on a life style that I have attempted to maintain over the years. My philosophy of life is simple. It’s my belief that the world is made up of two types of people, those that give energy, and those that take energy. It’s always been my goal to spend time with the energy givers. This unit continues to provide each of us with an abundance of associates that have similar goals and continues to give each other the energy needed to carry out our mission of caring about kids and each other. Next month I look forward to sharing the progress that the Mighty Mites have made with their plans for the future. One change as you may have noticed is the new logo displayed with this article. Until then, we wish all clubs and units the best in 2014 as we continue to serve the Temple in the name of kids. Wally Larsen Austin Area Shrine Club & Oriental Band Neil Hanson Nobles were busy during the Holiday Season as they have a partnership with the Austin Area Salvation Army to help them reach their goal. For over 50 years Nobles in Austin attempt to cover as much of Austin as possible on the first Friday of December. Some of our Nobles were out as early as 4:00 a.m. to be at the main gates of the Hormel and QPP Plants. Others worked sites such as Hy-Vee Foods, the Post Office, Jim’s Market Place, Shopko and others as needed. And, the ladies stepped up to help us out. Potentate Donald Harmsen, and Divan Representatives Roger Berge, Mike Nehm, Bruce Thomas and their Ladies. Introductions, other than the Divan Representatives included four widows, and Riley Brolssma, our newest member. Other guests included Riley’s father Gary, and Mike Dodge. Following a delicious dinner we were entertained by the Austin High School Mariachi Band. Then, door prizes and an auction of items followed. Officers for 2014 were Installed by Potentate Harmsen and they are: Nobles Brad Stout, President; Tim Bass, Vice President; Bill Newell, Secretary, Norm Hecimovich, Treasurer; Neil Hanson, Business Mgr; and Forrest Miller, Band Director. Donations from the Shrine Club and Oriental Band were presented by Norm Hecimovich, Treasurer, and President Stout summarized our activities during 2013, and thanked everyone for attending. The evening ended with remarks from Potentate Harmsen. We had a good year!! Neil Hanson Business Manager As the day ended, several Nobles canvassed some of the bars in Austin, and then we enjoyed either Chili or Oysters at the Salvation Army. This year our efforts raised $4,182.90. And this amount will be matched by a grant from Minnesota Masonic Charities. This is needed support for the Salvation Army Food Shelf, but we wish it had been a warmer day, as wind chills were -20 degrees. The month of Shrine activities came to a close with our annual Holiday Dinner held at the Austin Country Club. Forty Nobles and Ladies attended including Page 8 January 2014 Albert Lea Shrine Club and Albert Lea Cars Greetings Nobles, Ladies and Friends, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2013 is gone and 2014 is HERE.

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! The Alexandria Shrine Club Calliope and 4-Wheelers had Brion Golde an awesome year this year! The Holiday party was a great success and I want to thank everyone that came and everyone that helped! I want to thank Illustrious Sir Don Harmsen, Chief Rabban Roger Berge, Recorder Tom West and Lady Rose--Head of Women’s Auxiliary, Captain of the Guard (Our Divan Rep) Sean Gardiner, and Outer Guard Mark Galloway and Lady Lori for all making the trip up for the Holiday Party! Illustrious Sir Don Harmsen had the great pleasure of installing all of the 2014 officers. To help promote the 10 Million Charity Miles Giveaway, Amelia Golde had everyone take a guess of how many votes the Shriners Hospital for Children had at 7pm that night. There were people that had very close guesses to the actual number that was 68,066 at the time. Even though Illustrious Sir Don Harmsen guessed 68,146, he went over so that made Loren Van Wyck the winner of the apple pie and Alex Shrine beanie, with a guess of 68,000! Illustrious Sir Don Harmsen made the comment of, “I didn’t realize that this was the Price is Right and you can’t go over”! Amelia Golde also read a paper that she wrote for an English paper. She had to write a commentary and she decided to do one on Parade Etiquette and how watchers should give respect to our Country’s flag as it goes by. It was an amazing paper that was greatly received by everyone there. A standing ovation was given for her. Great work, Amelia! Trailer Update...The trailer is still being worked on but will be ready to go for Winter Carnival! We want to thank Osman for granting our request; it truly shows that the support goes both ways. As we were gathering during our social hour with Fezzes on, a gentleman walked by and had seen all the fezzes. He stopped and asked what was going on. We found out that he is a Shriner and his dad who is staying in Grand Arbor is a Zuhrah Shriner! Illustrious Sir Don and Captain of the Guard Sean invited them in to join in on the dinner. They enjoyed some socializing and at the end of the dinner, they proceeded to leave. As they were leaving, I stopped and talked with the son and he stated that his father was really excited to be able to come and join in on our Shrine function. The son also stated that because of this he wants to become more active in his Shrine Club. Want to remind everyone that the Valentine’s dinner will be Sunday, February 16th at Grand Arbor. Respectfully Submitted, Brion Golde Secretary Illustrious Sir Don Harmsen enjoying the cheesecake. He only claimed that he ate two...

The Bloomington Area Shrine Club took over the cooking this year and made pancakes and sausage for everyone. Santa’s lap was visited by around 175 children (and even some adults too!). Photographers Rick Kessler and Emily Fishman volunteered their time and talent to capture the spirit of the holidays on camera. Despite the 2 degree weather, Santa’s reindeer, Donner and Blitzen gave sleigh rides around the front circle and everyone was thrilled to visit Ruby and “D”, the South African Black Footed Penguins who were in the clinic.

OSMAN NOBLES We are interested in restarting the Photo Club. Osman needs people to take pictures of Osman events for the newspaper and our files. We are looking for at least 5 people so one person doesn’t have to be at all events. You don’t need to be a professional – just enjoy taking pictures. Clubs and Units will be providing their own pictures for newspaper articles, so pictures would be needed for the general Osman events, like the picnic, Hufli, Ceremonials, etc. If interested, call Doreen Lynch in the Osman Shrine Office 651-452-5660 January Birthdays Happy Birthday to Nobles whose birthdays are in the month of January. Due to computer problems we can’t provide your names. January 2014 Page 19 Carolyn Loutzenhiser, Amy Loutzenhiser, Vickie Wolff, Kay Skoog, Assistant Rabban Jeff Olsen and Lady Julie, Diane Johnson and Darlene Strain at Holiday Party Dear Auxiliary Members and Friends of the Auxiliary, I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays with your family and friends. As we begin the New Year, the Osman Womens Auxiliary wants to congratulate our newly elected Potentate, Roger Berge and his Lady Jennifer. We wish you a great year, and we are looking forward to working with you in 2014. Barb Anderson winning the raffle for the bowl that John Thordson crafted We ended 2013 with our Auxiliary Holiday Party at the Osman Event Center/Lost Spur. It was wonderful to see so many of our members and their guests enjoying all the fun activities. The Osman Womens Auxiliary Past Chairmen who attended were recognized for their dedication and service to the Auxiliary. The leadership these women Page 20 provided has contributed to the success of the Auxiliary over the past 90 years. Everyone went home with a gift plus there were drawings for additional prizes and the fabulous Holiday centerpieces made by Betty Porter and Kathy Flicek were given away. Barbara Anderson was the lucky winner of the raffle for the beautiful hand crafted wood bowl which John Thordson made and donated to the Auxiliary as a fund raiser. Several thank you’s are in order: to John Thordson for donating that fabulous bowl, to Linda Johnson for making all that delicious lefse and donating the proceeds to the Auxiliary, and to all the Auxiliary members who brought toys for the children at Shriners Hospital. A special thank you to Kathy Flicek, Betty Porter and Linda Johnson for planning and hosting this festive luncheon. Linda Johnson, Outreach Coordinator, and I attended the Osman Parade to Glory meeting on December 10th and the Rochester Area Shrine Club Holiday party on December 20th. I also attended the Alexandria Shrine Club Holiday party on December 17th. Once again, the Osman Nobles have been extremely generous with their donations to the Osman Womens Auxiliary. With an annual budget of $300,000, your gifts go a long way in helping us provide wheelchair, walkers, crutches and other equipment and supplies free of charge to the children at Shriners Hospital for Children – Twin Cities. We appreciate all you do year round to support the Womens Auxiliary. Kathy Flicek, Betty Porter, Linda Johnson hosts for the Holiday Party I’m very pleased to announce that our current Osman Womens Auxiliary Board members have graciously agreed to continue to serve on the Board for 2014. These dedicated ladies have already planned exciting events for the upcoming year. The first event for 2014 will be on Saturday, February 8th. This will be a Valentine’s Party with a luncheon and entertainment. Roger Hellesvig will portray Ole Oleson, “The Trunk-Immigrants to the United States”. Please mark your calendar now; so, you won’t miss this interesting, entertaining event. The calendar of events for the full 2014 year is below, be sure to put all of these on your 2014 calendar. January 2014 Again, it is a pleasure and honor to serve as your Chairman, and thank you for all of your continued support to the Auxiliary. We would not be able to accomplish our work and make a difference in the lives of the children at our Hospital without your support. We appreciate everything you do. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

So far, we have return engagements of the “The Chicago Boyz” acrobatic team, and the extreme motorcycles. Also big cats and of course elephants. I will let you know as more performance details become available. You can also track our progress on the official circus website www.OsmanCircus.com or on Facebook. I have already seen many of the new Mommy and Daddy pins being worn. If your Mommy-Daddy mailing got lost in the snow, just let me know and I’ll send you another. Circus Mommys and Daddys receive a unique 91st year edition of the Mommy and Daddy Pins, recognition in the circus program/ coloring book, and the sincere thanks of many kids who otherwise would not get to see a circus. Pennants, Plaques, Tickets and Advertising Ticket Sales The sales season is open for pennants, plaques, tickets and advertising! Any Club, Unit , Noble, Lady or friend can participate. The goal again this year is for every Noble to sell two of anything, be it two tickets, two advertisements, or a couple of pennants. The key is, we really need is just a little help from everyone. Mommys and Daddys You should have received your Circus Mommy and Daddy letter last month. Ticket sales to the public via phone and internet will officially begin in February. Although our main advertising campaign does not start until March, we have loyal customers who will be on our website as soon as it opens!
