Pa g e 6 “Believe” Th e Ja m il Ne w s Ap r il - Ju ly 2 0 1 5 From the Chief Rabban... Welcome to spring! It’s hard to believe it is already that time of year where the pollen has left us and the warmer temperatures are on their way. However, before the pollen came and went, we had a lot going on here at Jamil. At the end of January, we had a wonderful time at Illustrious Sir Lenoard Walker’s Potentate’s Ball. He and his lovely Lady Donna planned a beautiful day and evening full of fun and fellowship. The weekend allowed many of us to catch up with both Jamil nobility and nobility from visiting temples. February was a month full of activities, including the circus planning meeting, a Valentine’s Steak Dinner run by the Chef’s Unit, and then of course, the 2015 Jamil Shrine Circus. It goes without saying that the success of our circus reflects the hard work and dedication of all who in some way help with it. Thanks to all who were able to come out and lend a helping hand this year! Shortly into March, we headed over to the Camden Car Show to help with concessions. The day started out a little rainy, but it ended up being a pretty decent. If you did not have the opportunity to come out in March, they have planned a “re do” in May; hopefully the weather will be a little more inviting to the crowds that day! Not long after the car show, a group of us headed to Pigeon Forge for Mid-winter SASA, where there was great discussion about building membership in our temples. Again, it is always good to spend a weekend with Shriners from near and far, all working to support our clubs, temples, hospitals, and most importantly, our patients! As I write this article, we are heading into mid-April. It was a great start to the month with the annual Jamil Easter Egg Hunt, which had a great turn out this year! I was able to enjoy some vacation time with the family in Disney, and then returned to the Chef’s Unit “Chili Cook-off.” Congratulations to Nobles Jim Yoak, Curtis Hutchinson, and Andrew Herman for their winning dish, and thanks to all who came out to enjoy the evening in the lounge. After the tasting, Noble Charles Buckner presented the information for the 2016 Jamil Cruise! We hope you all will consider joining us for a fun-filled, relaxing week at sea next February; we appreciate Charles, Jim, and the planning committee for helping organize what is sure to be a wonderful time. Sadly, over the last few months, we have lost several nobles that will be greatly missed. Where we can find comfort in knowing they are in a much better place, we will miss seeing them here at Jamil, doing what they love to do…helping the children. May we continue to honor these great men through our hard work and dedication to the Shrine organization and our patients. We look forward to our upcoming events including the Camden Car Show and the Spring Ceremonial in Sumter. If you are able to come, we would love to see you! Godspeed, Lance Carpenter THE HAPPENINGS IN THE JAMIL LOUNGE by the Lounge Lounger Well, 2015 started out good, just as 2014 ended. On the Friday before the Potentates Ball, the Jamil Wheels provided the food in the Lounge, and there was a lot of people here that we haven’t seen in a while, as they were here for the weekend to attend the Ball. Then on Sunday after the Ball, the Lounge was open, so we could have a Super Bowl party. We had a nice crowd, and it was a great game, but a lot of people didn’t like the way it ended. Oh well, stuff happens. In February we had a Circus meeting, and then a steak supper on Friday night, and a Valentines party on Saturday, and all of the ladies received a flower carnation to wear. Then in March, we had a St. Patrick’s Day, it seemed like everyone brought food, and we had a lot of people to eat it. Then the following Saturday, we had a birthday party for three people, and again a ton of food. The whole St. Patrick’s week was a lot of fun. Monday, and Tuesday, during the week is sometimes a little slow, but the rest of the week is fine, and we are open some Saturdays, just check ahead of time, so come see us.

Nobles and Ladies, It is that time of year again. Time to get outside and enjoy the warming weather. As you do so, I hope you also take an opportunity to come out and enjoy all the things going on with Jamil. Thank you to everyone who assisted in any way with Circus. It was another great Circus where everyone had a great time while raising some money for Jamil. Also, thank you to all who came out to the Cars 2 Dreams Car Show in Elgin. There was a bit of rain but we still had a lot great people there and a lot of nice vehicles. Most important, we raised money for the hospital. If you did not have an opportunity to come to the Cars 2 Dreams Car Show in March, there is good news. We are having another Cars 2 Dreams Car Show on May 16th. I hope to see everyone who came out in March along with many more. I would love to see all units and shrine clubs represented there in Elgin, with one of your motorized vehicles to show to the public. Also, in May we have another very important event. That’s right, Ceremonial is coming! It’s time to round up those candidates. If you know someone that may be interested in being a Shriner or if you know someone you believe is deserving of being a Shriner please help them begin that process. We hope to see a lot of current Nobles and their families in Sumter along with plenty of new candidates. Well, that is all for now. If there is anything Tiffany and I can do for you please let us know. We look forward to seeing you at Jamil! Yours in the Faith, Curtis Hutchinson Pa g e 8 “Believe” Th e Ja mi l Ne w s Ma y - Ju l y 2 0 1 5 From the High Prient & Prophet… Greetings Nobles and Ladies, Spring has arrived and so has the pollen, so I hope this newsletter finds you and your families healthy and thriving.

Yours in the Faith, Coy Sharpe Notes from the Nile: Celebration Dear Nobles and Ladies, I can’t believe my journey as Queen has begun and what an exciting year it’s going to be. I hope everyone was able to attend the Installation of Officers on April 12th.

Ap r il - Ju ly 2 0 1 5 Th e Ja m il N e w s “Believe” page 13 From the Oriental Guide…. Greetings Nobles and Ladies, It is hard to believe that it is already April. It has been a fast and fun filled start to the year. We have had the Potentates Ball, Circus, Car Show and Easter Egg Hunt to name a few. I would like to thank everyone who had a hand in making them a success. Stephanie and I attended the Oriental Guide School in Tampa, FL during the first week of March. The both of us enjoyed getting to meet all of our counterparts from other temples. We also brought back plenty of homework to keep us busy for a while. As I am writing this, we are preparing for Stephanie to be installed as Queen of Arabi Temple No. 141. I would like to say congratulations to her and the ladies. I know it will be a great year. Thank you ladies for all you do to help support our children, our temple and our hospitals. Looking forward, in May, we have the spring ceremonial in Sumter at the Gamecock Shrine Club. The parade will be on Friday night. I look forward to seeing all of the units lit up and meeting the new nobles and their ladies. In the not too distant future, we will be having the BBQ Cook-off on October 2 and 3. If you would like to volunteer or have some ideas, please contact me. So far, we have started selling door prize tickets for a smoker grill that can be seen in the temple office. We also have a 2nd place prize of a tail gate grill. In the next few days, advanced tickets will be available for the event and butts. Stay tuned for more details. In closing, I would like to thank everybody for all you do to make our temple successful. Yours in Faith, Stuart Smith From the Chief Aide………. Well, Easter has come and gone along with a very successful Egg Hunt by the kids. Thanks to all who helped. Normally Don Addyman would be running the ship. Unfortunately Don passed away the end of February. Our Potentate, Lenoard Walker and wife Donna stepped in and continued the tradition. Kudus to Noble John Bowker, due to him and others, Jamil was recognized for achieving Gold in Membership. John gave an excellent presentation at the Mid-Winter SASA in Pigeon Forge, TN. Well done John. Fraternally, Luther Kibler Pa g e 1 0 “Believe Th e Ja m i l Ne w s Ap ri l - Ju l y 2 0 1 5 From the Building Manager…………..
