I will do my very best to serve this office with the honor and dignity it deserves. We are off and running with the Installation, Key Man Meeting and the Moultrie car show all which have already passed. I wish to thank everyone who helped or participated in these events. A special thanks and a very deserving one to the 19 nobles who worked the Moultrie car show; it is hard work. Especially, when it is freezing cold. You did a great job. Maybe, in May we will have more participation. With these events history, we look forward to the Spring Ceremonial. It will be in Ashburn, Ga. March 25th and 26th. We should have a great time with all the activities planned. Headquarters is the Days Inn on Whittle Circle. There are rooms blocked and RV parking across the road at Carroll’s Sausage. Contact Days Inn for your room reservations @ 229-778-9016. Mention code 346494 to be identified as a Shriner. We need to all support this event as we welcome the new candidates and their ladies. If you have read my articles or heard me speak this will not come as a surprise. Gentlemen, we have to increase our membership. Hasan cannot keep its doors open if this doesn't happen and happen pretty fast. Dues alone will not get the job done. In any organization there is only about 9% of the members who work. As the numbers in the organization go down, so does the number of workers and so goes the organization. LET’S NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO US. The easiest way to increase membership is for each member to bring one member either by Restoration or as a new member. I am so proud to be here! Thanks again for what you do as Shriners for the kids and for each other. Fraternally, Shriners International will be in charge of mailing out the new dues cards. They are going to plastic cards that will be good for years. Please, be patient during this process. You are to still mail your dues to Hasan Shrine. 2016 Hasan Shrine Sportsman’s Gun Raffle tickets are available in the office. If you would like tickets, flyers or a list of Gun winnings call 229.432.1011. If you have any sold tickets, please get them to the office in order for them to qualify for the next drawing. If you have any unsold tickets that you are unable to sell, return them to the office. Winning numbers as of February 22, 2016 01/04/16 #549 01/11/16 #484 01/18/16 #642 01/25/16 #809 02/01/16 #257 02/08/16 #170 02/16/16 #989 02/22/16 #635 From Your Chief Rabban Greetings Brother Nobles! First, I want to say THANK YOU for allowing me to serve you as Chief Rabban this year. Your continued faith and confidence is both humbling and appreciated. We are off to a great start! Ill. Sir E. L. Sprayberry had a wonderful key-man meeting and initiated some new ideas and plans. One was assigning each Divan member certain clubs and/or units. I will be working with Albany Shrine Club, the Directors’ Staff and the Ben Hillbillies. I will still be visiting other clubs and units also, as time will permit. I will be the Pot of Gold Chairman this year, also. Our tickets should be ready soon to begin selling. I am looking forward to selling out again this year as we have done in the past two years. It is such a great deal. I don’t know of anywhere else you can go with a live band, great food, unlimited libations and a chance to win up to $20,000.00 and numerous other great prizes for only $100 per couple! I would also like to encourage everyone to get ready for the parade season. It is rapidly approaching. This is our opportunity to show the communities what we are about – “Having fun and helping kids”. It helps keep Shriners’ Children’s Hospitals on their minds to send new patients and donate to a great cause. If we continue to support them, they will continue to support us. In closing, I encourage every Noble to take an active part in their club or unit. Attend meetings and bring prospective Shriners along. Participate in fundraising and participate in parades. Some may think, “They’ll get it done”, but it is always better to think, “We’ll get it done”. Our success will be determined by our individual and team efforts. I look forward to working with every one of you this year, and if I can ever help you in any way, please do not hesitate to let me know. Looking forward to seeing each of you very soon. From Your High Priest & Prophet Thank you Nobles for electing me to represent you as Hasan's 2016 High Priest and Prophet. I am proud to be a Shriner and I look forward to working with my fellow Nobles to accomplish wonderful things. The Potentate has appointed me as the Chairman for the Hasan Shriners 52 week Sportsman’s Gun Raffle. I encourage all Nobles to participate in this fund raiser and together we can make it a great success. If you are unable to sell your tickets, please return them to the Temple office. We have people wanting to purchase tickets. My cell number is 229-347-3417 and my email is [email protected] if I can assist you. I congratulate all of my fellow Nobles who serve on the Elected and Appointed Divan. Feel free to contact Lady Robin or myself if we can be of any assistance. Fraternally yours, Ricky Hortman Compliments of… Famous Country Cooking Fraternally yours, Johnny Walker Special orders are never a problem! It is with sincere and heartfelt gratitude that I thank each and every one of you for granting me your trust to become the Oriental Guide of Hasan this year. Believe me, when I say, that I promise to do my best to properly represent the needs of the total body of Hasan in a proper and respectful manner. I would also like to thank you for allowing me to begin a drive towards emeritus status as an Imperial Representative for Hasan. It is critically important that we have as much representation for our Temple before the International Shrine body. I assure you that it is my intention to vote for the best interests of Hasan this year and in all of the coming years. Our great fraternity is facing many challenges. Together, we can overcome anything that comes our way. It is vitally important that we work together this year to support the efforts of Hasan and of the individual shrine clubs and units. Without unifying our support, we are doomed to failure. I would like to challenge every club and unit to support the fundraising and charitable activities of your fellow clubs and units. Together we can be an unstoppable force, but individually isolated we will become weak and broken. Nobles, First I would like to thank you for electing me as treasurer for this year. I am looking forward to working with this Divan to make this a very successful year. It will take all members for Hasan to have a great year. We have several fund raisers that will take all Nobles working together to make them work. Hasan Shrine cannot survive without these fund raisers being successful. I urge everyone to take part and support these events. If there is anything that I can do to help please, do not hesitate to contact me. Again I look forward to working with everyone. Denny Blair, P.P. Thank you again for you valuable support and votes of confidence. Please contact me at any time if you have any questions or concerns. I am more than happy to be of assistance to you in any way. Doug Head Compliments of…. Compliments of… Greetings from your Recorder…. Thank you to everyone for having confidence in me and reelecting me as your Recorder. This year as in the past, Hasan Shrine will have many new opportunities. Our membership is still dropping. We have a membership chairperson, Brad Hurst. We all need to work with him to make membership one our most important issues. Hasan currently has 784 members. Let us set a goal to increase our membership. You know where we get new members? It is from your Blue Lodge. Look around and see if you can find someone that wants to be a Shriner. Sign him up, also on that same note, if you know someone that was a Shriner. Get him to agree to be reinstated. Call the office and find out how much it will cost. Something new this year is, Shriners International has mailed out dues notices for us and when you pay your dues to Hasan, Shriners International will mail your new card. This may take a little longer for you to get your card than from the office. Tampa is mailing cards twice a month. Please be patient with this new mailing process. The trips to take patients to the Shrine Hospitals have increased over the years and our Transportation Fund needs your help to provide these trips for our children. Your donations help to pay for the constantly increasing cost of fuel and maintenance of the vehicles. Contributions to the transportation fund are always welcome and are tax deductible. We always need more drivers to take a child and a family member to and from the hospitals. If you can drive the vans, and have time, stop by the office and talk to Jim. Just let him know when you are available to drive. He will help you with the paper work. This project is one of the most rewarding opportunities you will ever have. Potentate, E. L. Sprayberry, has some new and some old events and moneymaking plans. We need your help to make it all work for Hasan in 2016. This will be a very exciting year. Let us all work together and keep the fun in Shrine.

Fry, Ohio All Elected and Appointed Divan Tifton Shrine Club The Tifton Shrine Club closed out 2015 and rang in 2016 in traditional and memorial fashion, with our annual New Year’s Eve Party. A grand time was had by all (more especially by Brad Hurst)! 2016 has already gotten off to a roaring start with the addition of a new member, as Possum and his lovely and long suffering wife Margie have decided to join our ranks. In early February, we conducted a Gospel Sing and donated 100% of the funds raised to the Children’s Hospital. Additionally, new officers were installed at our monthly meeting: Doug Head, President; Allen Jernigan, Vice President; Brad Hurst, Treasurer; and Ray Gene Williams as the new Secretary. We are looking forward to a bright and successful 2016 and hope that you will join us at our monthly meetings (3rd Monday of every month) and at our fundraising events. We have made coming and staying at our club much easier with the addition of six camper hook-ups that are at your disposal. If you need directions to our shrine club, ask any member, or use the following address: 557 Vanceville-County Line Road, Tifton, GA. Come on out and join the fun!!! A special THANK YOU to Christine Fowler! She donated proceeds from her annual Ms. Track-ALicious pageant (Tracks for Hunters fundraiser that raises money for paralyzed individuals needing an outdoor wheelchair. It makes it possible for them to hunt, fish, go to the beach, whatever they want to do in the outdoors where a normal wheelchair would not go.) to Hasan Shrine. Not only did she pay for all the ceiling tiles in the foyer to be replaced but, she also took the time to see the project through from start to finish. Hasan Temple’s foyer looks so much better!
