Second Quarter, 2012
Potentate Message
Chief Rabban of Amran Shriners, Raleigh, NC as well
as five other divan members from Omar.
This year we have a great deal of work ahead of
us as we continue to promote our fraternity. Such as
in membership, I challenge each one of you to find
one new member this year. I already have mine, as my
brother Ed Norris from Archer, FL became a noble at
our Winter Ceremonial. I am very proud of this, but
I assure you I am always on the lookout for “quality
members” and I hope you will be also. We have approximately 30,000 masons in North Carolina who
are not Shriners. If we could attract just 1% this year,
that would be 300 new nobles. Working together, I’m
sure we can.
Along the lines of revenue sources for our fraternity, in addition to our $10,000 give-away, we have
added a golf cart raffle and candy sale. You will find
additional information about these in this issue of the
Red Fez and on our website. Your assistance is needed
on all these events to keep our temple financially secure and allow us to provide the events that you, the
nobility, deserve as members of Sudan Shriners.
My slogan this year is “Honoring our PastLooking to our Future”. We have a rich and distinguished history at Sudan, which we must never forget,
yet we must always be ready to adapt and change to
ensure an equally successful future. I hope that each
of you are as excited as I am about the future of our
great temple and I hope that you join with me and
your Divan as we make plans for a fun filled, enjoyable
and successful 2012.
Again, thank you for allowing me to serve you as
your Potentate this year. May God bless you, our fraternity and our philanthropy!
First, let me take
this opportunity to
thank the nobility for allowing me
to serve you for the
year 2012. Lady Traci
and I pledge to do our
best as we lead Sudan
Shriners this year.
I would also like
to congratulate and
thank Illustrious Sir
Bruce Bulluck and
Lady Peggy for their
service, not only last year but all their years on line.
It has been our honor and pleasure to serve with them
and follow behind them as we progressed through the
divan.
To those of you who were not able to be with us
at our winter ceremonial, you missed a great weekend.
The weather was perfect, which made our attendance
at the parade and other functions well attended. The
Cane crew from Cumberland County sold out early,
the Chef Crew gave out of food at the Moslem Feast
and it was standing room only for the events on Saturday and Saturday night. We also created 52 new nobles and 2 new affiliates on Saturday! It’s a great way to
start a new year with the excitement and enthusiasm
of the greatest nobles and ladies in the world!
I would like to thank the members of Team 2012
(over 80 nobles and ladies from 7 shrine clubs) for the
fantastic hospitality rooms, ladies breakfast and decorations for Friday and Saturday night. One focus this
year is on “quality” members and with the caliber of
events that were provided in January we hope to have
given both our existing and new nobles and ladies a
reason to go home and find the quality people in their
communities that we need to make Sudan grow.
We were privileged to have in attendance the
Grand Master of Masons of North Carolina, Most
Worshipful Robert E. Gresham and Lady Carolyn and
our Imperial Oriental Guide, Imperial Sir Chris Smith
and Lady Ethel. In addition, we had visiting Potentates from Acca Shriners, Richmond, VA. Alee Shriners, Savannah, GA., Héjaz Shriners, Greenville, SC,
Oasis Shriners, Charlotte, NC and Omar Shriners,
Mt. Pleasant, SC. We were also pleased to have the

Recorder’s
Message
Our headquarters building in New Bern still needs
repairs and renovations. We hope to continue these
improvements as funds become available.
Please review Sudan’s calendar of events contained
in this Red Fez. I hope to see you at as many events as
your schedule will permit.
REMEMBER – YOU ARE THE KEY TO SUDAN’S SUCCESS
Sudan Shriners began
2012 with a “BANG”! Our
Annual Winter Ceremonial
was a tremendous success.
The weather was perfect.
The Cane Sales Crew from
Cumberland County sold
all their canes and the Chef
Crew ran out of food during the Moslem Feast. Attendance at the Potentate’s Ball on Saturday evening
was overflowing.
Our new Potentate, Illustrious Sir Steve Norris,
is well qualified to lead Sudan and he and First Lady
Traci are off to a fine start. From Illustrious Sir Norris’ education, experience and business success, to his
progression from Outer Guard to Potentate, his Shrine
career is filled with travel, Shrine seminars, and untold
contacts across Masonic and Shrine fraternities, all of
which have well prepared him for a successful year.
He is a Past Master of his Blue Lodge and has been a
Grand Lodge Certified Lecturer for years. Sudan is on
solid ground for 2012.
The Ceremonial Cast executed a fine First Section
on Saturday morning and our Units were spectacular
during the mid-day parade. The Wrecking Crew orchestrated a flawless Second Section and those who
were privileged to have crossed the “Hot Sands” of
Sudan Shriners were most impressed, as was the audience.
Sudan, like many other temples, continues having
a net loss in membership. Our membership as of 31
December 2011 was 5508 and our net loss for 2011
was 307.
There about 30,000 North Carolina Master Masons who are not Shriners, so we have a large number
of men who qualify, with the perquisite, to be created
Nobles. I urge each of you to strive to find a Master
Mason and offer him membership in Sudan and “THE
WORLD’S GREATEST PHILANTHROPY”.
For 2012, Sudan is holding Fraternal Fundraisers
to support the temple, such as a $10,000.00 cash giveaway, Candy Sales and Golf Cart (with trailer) raffle.
Please review the information contained elsewhere
in this issue of the Red Fez Magazine and on Sudan’s
website for more information on these fundraisers. We
must have sources of revenue other than temple dues
in order to avoid future dues increases.

Coble D. Wilson, III
Sudan Public Relations
Director Appointed
Noble Coble D. Wilson,
III was born on February 5,
1968, in Lumberton, North
Carolina to Coble D., Jr. and
Pattie Wilson. Coble graduated from Lumberton Sr.
High in 1986. He then went
on to attend Kings College
graduating with a Degree in
Marketing in 1988. Upon
graduation, he went to work
with Freeman Motor Company where he joined his
grandfather and father as the third generation of Wilsons to work at the family owned business. In 1999,
Coble partnered with his brother Dayton to open Wilson Automotive, their own independently owned automotive dealership.
In 1997, Coble married Lumberton native Sheryl
Gore. They were blessed with the birth of their son
Jameson Coble “Jace” in November 2009. They are
members of First Presbyterian Church in Lumberton.
Coble was raised to the Degree of Master Mason
on March 9, 1993, at St. Alban’s Lodge #114 in Lumberton, NC. He presided as Master of the Lodge in
1998. He became a member of Sudan Shriners on August 7, 1993 and later that same year joined the Robeson County Shrine Club. Since his joining, Coble has
been very active with his club and Sudan Shriners.
In 1998, he received the Nelson Banks Membership
Award. In 2001, he was honored with the award of
“Shriner of the Year”. He served as club president in
2002 & 2003. Following his tenure as president, he
served as the club’s treasurer from 2005 to 2011. He
is a charter member of the Sudan Tomcats unit where
he assisted with its formation in 1997. Coble proudly
served as Fall Ceremonial Chairman in 2001 for Illustrious Sir Joe I. Joyner and in 2006 for Illustrious Sir
C. Olen Smith, Jr. He was elected in October 2002 to
the New Bern Court Royal Order of Jesters #145. He
served as Membership Chairman for Sudan Shriners
from 2005 – 2009 and Co-chairman in 2011. Coble
has also been an active part of his community by serving on the Lumberton Area Chamber of Commerce
Board from 2004 - 2006.
Noble George Raecher from the Wayne Shrine
Club has been appointed as the Director of Public Relations for Sudan Shriners. Noble Todd Lewis from the
Dunn Shrine Club has been appointed as the Assistant
Director. The Potentate’s theme for 2012 is “Honoring
our Past - Looking to our Future”. For Sudan to accomplish this, we must re-vitalize our Public Relations
Program. Illustrious Sir has requested every club and
unit appoint representatives to assist in this program.
We would like these appointments to be those nobles
that are very actively involved in their clubs and units.
Area Coordinators have been appointed to assist and
manage the five areas in Sudan.
The challenge of revitalizing the Public Relations
Programs in Sudan is probably not as difficult as you
might think. Public Relations is the art of “selling” and
“telling” what we do. Our business as Shriners is no
different than private business. We can do this by using radio, television and newspapers in the communities where we live. PR materials to do this are available
at Imperial. I can assure you if you run a success story
about a child in conjunction with a charitable fundraiser you will increase your profit!
Public Relations is teaming up with the Membership, Masonic Relations and the Plaque Sales Committees to increase our overall effectiveness. We need to
expand awareness of our Shriners Hospitals for Children and we need new Shriners to sustain our future.
Noble Todd Lewis has put together a very impressive
Burn Awareness Program. That initiative is addressed
in a separate article in this Fez, “Be Burn Aware”. We
have asked Sudan Director, Noble Frank Long, assist us
with another initiative by capturing the unit history of
all our units. We might even consider, if possible, publishing this and making it available as a booklet.
We have tackled and done well with our initiative
of expanding the Red Fez quarterly publication. The
publication is expanding the page count to 24 pages
with hopefully a lot more information to our nobility
and the ladies on activities and initiatives around Sudan. We need articles from clubs, units, and success stories on patients. Another project is to have every club
and unit tell others of your yearly projects and activities
in fundraising. Someone else might want to try it! How
many clubs entertain their patients in their area with a
special event? Has your Shrine Club President made
contact with our patient’s families?
If you have an idea, please share it.

2012 Shriners International
Public Relations Initiative
“BE BURN AWARE”
a yearlong event and a permanent part of our Public
Relations efforts. We can make this plan a reality
with your assistance. Bringing awareness to the public
about Shrinedom and what we do for our children is
most important.
We are looking for shrine clubs, nobles and PR
Reps to assist us with this initiative. If there are any
firefighters in your clubs that may be familiar with fire
prevention activities and such they would be a great
asset. Our plans this year include multiple public
events within Sudan and taking advantage of the time
we spend at public events that are already scheduled to
get this information distributed.
Shrine clubs and nobles that are interested in
assisting with this initiative and helping our children
to “Be Aware” may submit their interest to us by email.
Further details are being developed at this time for the
remainder of the year. We look forward to hearing
from you in the near future.

Fraternally,
Todd D. Lewis, Assistant Director
Sudan Public Relations
The Sudan Public Relations team would like to
introduce to you our primary initiative for 2012. As
requested by Illustrious Sir Steve Norris, we would like
to get Sudan Shrine re-involved with burn awareness.
Even with what we do for children in the way of
medical assistance, one of the most important things
we can do for children is teach them to be aware of the
dangers that cause burns. Shriners International has
introduced to us this year a new campaign concerning this. The new burn awareness slogan is “Be Burn
Aware”. This refers to teaching children to be aware of
all the dangers in and around homes that cause burns.
Dangers around kitchens, stoves, bathrooms, and even
outdoor dangers such as gasoline canisters are a few
examples. The teaching of home escape plans is also
included.
February 5-11 of this year was the actual week set
aside for Burn Awareness. However, with this being a
new venture for Sudan, we are planning to make this

The Traveling Roadrunner
Noble Paul Bullard
All Roadrunners had to travel to New Bern to pick
up the van, travel to the city where the patients and
families lived and then make the long trip to either
the Greenville or Cincinnati hospitals. In 2008, Illustrious Sir Bobby Waller, directed vans be positioned
in New Bern and Wilson. The eight vans utilized now
have an assigned Roadrunner with the responsibility
of making sure his vehicle is road worthy and properly
maintained at all times.
Noble Bullard has a fantastic philosophy of the
“Team Effort” needed for the Shriners Hospitals System. The hospital provides the technical and medical
expertise to correct the medical issues and the Roadrunners make sure the patients are taken to and from
appointments. Shriners work very hard to support
the system by fundraising and finding patients and the
general public contributes by supporting the fundraising activities and the media sends the messages about
Shriners Hospitals for Children. Noble Bullard stated,
“Miss one of these links and we are all in trouble, “I
love what I have been able to do over my eighteen
years and certainly don’t regret one minute”. From the
nobility and especially the children, we say “Thank
you Noble Bullard for your dedication and service.”
Two hundred and fifty times, you made a difference
in a child’s life.
Noble R. Paul Bullard holds the record for Roadrunner Trips carrying our patients and their families
to the Shriners Hospitals for Children, garnering over
250 individual trips. Cumulatively, he has spent an
estimated one year and five months on the road with
these precious children. The miles traveled are most
likely in the tens of thousands. Trips to Greenville
are generally two days and trips to the Burn Center in
Cincinnati are three. He made trips from around Sudanland to Charlotte where the Cincinnati Shriners
Hospitals for Children Burn Center often times sets
follow-up appointments for recovering patients that
will not require actual medical treatment.
Noble Bullard became a Shriner in 1986 and is a
member of the Lenoir County Shrine Club. R. Paul
Bullard retired from the National Forestry Service in
1992 and in 1993 he joined the Roadrunners and remained an active member until 2011 at the age of 75.
He has many stories to tell and memories of helping
countless families. When he joined there were only
twelve Roadrunners and the unit made approximately 5 trips a month. Noble Bullard states he probably
dealt with over one hundred patients. He often saw
patients on their first visit and through the years saw
the results of long term care by our hospitals.
Noble Bullard doesn’t know all the history of the
Roadrunner Unit but provided the following. The
Roadrunners were originally formed in 1974. Sudan
did not have any “Roadrunner” vehicles or uniforms.
Shriners transported the patients and the patient’s
family in the Shriners’ privately owned vehicles to and
from the hospitals. Uniforms were not obtained until
about ten years ago.

No Coincidence!
Lost In The Desert (Bad Addresses)
First of all let me make it perfectly clear that I do
not believe in coincidence! We as Masons say we put
our trust in God and if that is true we acknowledge
that by trusting Him we are pawns to be used at His
will. With that said, let me tell you a true story that
took place February 15 & 16, 2012.
Rod Hughes and I are Roadrunners and as such
were on a trip to the Shriners Hospital in Greenville,
SC. We had been on the road since 4:30am in an effort
to pick up two patients and get to a 1:00pm appointment. We had to go to Leland and Lumberton.
We made our hospital appointment on time with
no problems. Since we were spending the night with
no real schedule to follow, we decided to leave for
home at 6:00am. The trip that usually takes about
seven hours would put us back in New Bern by early
afternoon. As I was checking us out of the Days Inn,
the clerk casually mentioned that the woman and
her son sitting in the lobby had flown in from Florida
the day before and had no way to get to the Shriners
Hospital. Now the purpose for our partially filled van
became clear. We had two empty seats and no schedule to meet. We could take her to the hospital. As we
went she told her story.
She had never made contact with Shriners. Her
pediatrician had told her to take her son who was on
a walker to the Shriners Hospital for help. She had
flown to Greenville, SC on her own and rented a motel room. Her plan was to take a cab to the hospital
and ask for help. I have no idea why she picked the
Days Inn, but that is the one motel that is usually full
of Shriners. There we were with two empty seats; no
schedule to meet and we knew the way to the hospital.
We took her there and got her checked in. We told
the people at the desk her story and asked of their assistance and for them to see to it she had a ride back
to the motel and to the airport the next day. We also
asked that she be put in touch with Shriners in her
area. Before leaving we gave her the phone number of
Shriners in Tampa, Florida. When we left the hospital she was being checked in and we had done all we
could. In all that was taking place I forgot to ask her
name.
Coincidence? Not a chance. Everything happens
for a reason and each Roadrunner has a purpose. Never forget it!

The Sudan Mini-Rigs from Wayne County are
celebrating their twentieth year of operation this year.
The Unit was formed in Wayne County by members of
the Wayne Shrine Club in 1992. The unit was created
during Past Potentate Illustrious Sir Arnold Brown’s
term in office and consisted of thirty-five (35) charter members. The identical red “Mini Tractor Truck
Rigs” were purchased by members at a reported cost of
$1800.00 each. Initially, there were twelve (12) trucks
in the unit. The unit’s first parade was in November
1992 at the Sudan Fall Ceremonial in Lumberton,
NC. They performed in six parades in their first year.
In 1993, they made their first donation to the Shriners
Hospital of $650.00. During the 20 years of operation,
the Sudan Mini-Rigs have grown and now have fortyfour members, with twenty Mini-Rig Trucks and seven
Recovery Vehicles. They have maintained a “truck
history ownership” on every truck since the unit was
formed. This unit has participated in as many as 41 parades/performances in one year. Members incur all of
the costs of upkeep for the Rigs and the cost of driving
to the many events. Every penny donated to this unit
has been given to Shriners Hospitals for Children or
the Sudan Transportation Fund. At the conclusion of
this units 20th year, over $200,000.00 will have been
donated from the 700 plus parades and events they
have attended. The Mini Rigs are a crowd pleaser no
matter where they go. Congratulations to the Mini
Riggers and Keep on Trucking for the Children!

Shriners are distinguished by an enjoyment of life
in the interest of philanthropy. Through fellowship
and philanthropy, Shrinedom strengthens the soul
and adds inner-meaning to daily life. It thus spreads
a glow of joy through one’s entire family. The Shrine
is best-known for its colorful parades, its distinctive
Red Fez, and its official philanthropy, Shriners Hospitals for Children, which is often called “The heart and
soul of the Shrine.”
April 2012
This represents a $79,805.00 shortfall for the current operating budget!
Your active financial support is vitally important in order for our great
temple to function on a day-to-day basis.
Illustrious Sir Steve Norris and the Membership Team are encouraging
every Noble to remit his current year dues as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your continued interest and allegiance to
help Sudan, both Charitably and Fraternally.

138th Imperial Session in Charlotte
Sudan has reserved 200 rooms at the Hilton University
Hotel on JM Keynes Drive. All reservations will go through
the temple. According to Sudan Potentate Steve Norris,
“This is the best and possibly the only chance many Sudan
Shriners will get to attend an Imperial Session in their
lifetime. This is a great way for our Nobles, Ladies, children
and grandchildren to have a great vacation at this very
special event.” Celebrate the 4th of July in Charlotte.
Governor Beverly Perdue Proclaims
2012 Year Of The Shrine In North Carolina
Oasis Shriners, John Sullivan PP and Imperial Sir Alan
W. Madsen met recently with Governor Beverly Perdue.
Gov Perdue proclaimed, “2012 year of the Shrine in North
Carolina”. North Carolina will see their very own, Imperial
Sir Alan W. Madsen, become the Imperial Potentate at
the 138th Imperial Session for Shriners International.
The Imperial Session will be held in Charlotte, July 1-5,
2012. As a reminder to all, this is the 140th Anniversary of
Shriners International and the 90th Anniversary of Shriners
Hospitals for Children.
While visiting with Imperial Sir Madsen, Gov. Perdue
enjoyed the company of hospital patient, Brady, and
expressed her admiration for the work our hospitals do with
the children. The Imperial Potentate is both the President
and chief executive officer of Shriners International and
serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for both
Shriners Hospitals for Children and the fraternity.
Many events are scheduled for the 5-day event, one of
which is the parade on July 4th. It will step off at 2:30pm with
motorized units, clowns, horse units, drum and bugle units,
bag pipe units from all over the United States and possibly
from other countries to make this a truly memorable event.
Website, imperial2012.com contains other information
about the 2012 Imperial Session. I’m sure Sudan will be
well represented. Director Frank Long will keep everyone
informed of the parade details.

The Sudan Plaque Sales
Program
The Sudan Plaque Sales Program is off and running and is a year-long event. We are asking Shrine
Clubs to appoint a Plaque Sales Chairman and help
with this project. This program does not apply to just
Shriners, although many invest in this worthy cause.
Everyone knows this is another way for clubs and units
to raise the needed money for Shriners Hospitals for
Children. It is a relatively easy project to get involved
in and have fun doing. Sales can be made in the denominations such as $25, $50, $100, $250, $500 and
$1000. The successful plaque program in Sudan has
plaques hanging in barber shops, law firms, fire departments, privately and family owned businesses and
even churches. All of the plaques offered are very
attractive.
Sudan Shriners has to say congratulations to
the Wayne Shrine Club which has won the Annual
Plaque Award for the past ten years and has averaged
$12,000 over the past years. They have offered this
challenge -- Wayne Shrine Club will donate $1,000
to the Transportation Fund if a shrine club or unit,
other than Wayne Shrine Club wins the 2012 Plaque
Award. Again, the benefactor of the Plaque Sales is
the Shriners Hospitals for Children!
The Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas meeting was
held at Hope Mills Shrine Club on February 24, 2012.
The meeting was followed by a Banquet. Election of
Officers for 2012 was held with Noble Ronnie Blount
from Sudan, being elected Chairman of the Board in
a tight election. Others elected for the ensuing year
were President - PP Don Addman, Jamil Shriners; 1st
Vice President - PP Connie Altman, Amran Shriners;
2nd Vice President Noble Jamie Smith, Héjaz Shriners;
3rd Vice President, PP Brack Wilson, Sudan Shriners;
4th Vice President Noble John McLeary, Omar Shriners; Treasurer, Noble Henry Long, Héjaz Shriners;
Secretary, Noble John Davidson, Omar Shriners. PP
Connie Altman was elected Game Ball Chairman. Illustrious Sir Steve Norris installed the officers. There
was a special Public Relations video on the Shrine
Bowl of the Carolinas presented entitled, “A Past to
Remember and a Future to Build On”. Sudan will obtain a copy of the video and make it available to our
clubs and units.
There are nearly 19,000 Shriners in the Carolinas
representing Omar Shriners, Mt. Pleasant, SC; Sudan
Shriners, New Bern, NC ; Héjaz Shriners, Greenville,
SC; Jamil Shriners, Columbia, SC; and Amran Shriners, Raleigh, NC. The Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas
is played to benefit the Greenville Shriners Hospitals
for Children and 21 other Shriners Hospitals for Children across the nation. Last year’s game receipts and
temple contributions raised $1.4 million. Over $69
million has been raised since the first game was played
in 1937. The Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas game is
the nation’s oldest and most prestigious high school
Potentate Bruce Bulluck presents a 25 year pin and
