From your
Recorder
Thank you to everyone
for having confidence
in me and re-electing
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 840 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.
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 deductable.
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, Tony Morris, has some new and some old
events and moneymaking plans. We need your help
to make it all work for him in 2015. This will be a very
exciting year. Let us all work together and keep the
fun in Shrine.

“2015– New Faces - A year of Growth”
Shriners Recognize President Jimmy Carter
Thomasville Shrine Club operates under the jurisdiction of the HASAN Shrine Center in Albany, GA. We were fortunate in 2014 to have one of our
members, Noble Bill Willingham, serve in the leadership of HASAN as Potentate. The community of Plains, GA, experienced a flood of Red FEZs
from all around Georgia on December 1st for the event held at the Plains High School Auditorium. As reported by WALB TV…… “PLAINS, GA
(WALB) - President Jimmy Carter has teamed up with the Hasan Shrine to help children internationally. President Carter was made Honorary
Ambassador for Hasan Shrine Center in Albany. A proclamation was given among guests from temples around Georgia at Plains High School last
week. Now, the Carter Center will be working with Shriners' Hospital for Children to expand medical care for kids around the world.” “It’s just
going to be unlimited the amount of additional children we will be helping," said Noble Johnny Walker, Ed.D., Hasan Shrine High Priest and Profit
for the Shrine Center.
"With President Carter on board, he reaches around the world and we can identify more children and help more children," said Potentate Bill
Willingham.
Our many thanks to our 39th President, Jimmy Carter, for his support of our Fraternity and the work of the Shriners Hospitals for Children, as well as
Dr. Johnny Walker, another member of the Thomasville Shrine Club and a resident of Plains, for his untiring efforts in getting this recognition
coordinated and completed.
As we open up the New Year we find several new faces in the leadership of the Thomasville Shrine Club. Our incoming president, Noble Ron
Marcinski, is relatively new (we seem to count anyone with less than 10 years as such!) as a Shriner and brings fresh thoughts and ideals to a
fraternity that is over 100 years old. Although not new to Masonry nor to serving as a Shriner, Noble Bruce Fykes has taken over the role as
Treasurer and has already hit the ground running since he assumed the position during the last term. Our outgoing president, Noble Larry Price, has
graciously accepted the Secretarial responsibilities from Noble Bill Becknell. Bill, who holds the title of the longest serving member in the club (48
years as of last December) has been our faithful Secretary for as long as anyone cares to remember! Coming to Thomasville in 1966 as part of the
mobile home company management team, he is still active today in his Mobile Home and RV Services business. Many of our readers may remember
when the shrine club had a parade group riding articulated bicycles and were called the Rose Pedals. Both Bill Becknell and Bruce Fykes were
members of that group, as were Ray Glass, John Carr, John Booth, Denny Blair and Ray Baker. Each, demonstrating a lot of skill in keeping the
front and rear wheels of the cycles going in the same direction!
Completing the rest of our elected officers are 1st Vice Noble Tom Moore and 2nd Vice Noble Joe Futch. Although both are considered relatively
new (like Noble Ron) Futch is starting his second go-round in the club leadership line. So, the Thomasville Shrine Club looks forward to 2015 with
the new faces and welcome another year of growth. Installation of the newly elected club officers will be held at the end of January and after
submission deadline for this edition of Scene. Pick up a copy of the April Scene edition for more on the installation.
Familiar sights each year in and around Thomasville during the Christmas season are the Salvation Army “Bell Ringers.” Again in 2014, as in years
past, club members assisted with collections as did many organizations and individuals within Thomasville. This time we were in front of Wal-Mart
and enjoyed some good crisp weather as we greeted the many shoppers each day. We so enjoyed seeing some of the most generous Thomasvillians
give unselfishly to the mission of the Salvation Army. Our thanks to Noble Wayne Johnson for coordinating our volunteer efforts and times with the
Salvation Army leadership. If you have never participated in this endeavor or in any one or more of the many volunteer opportunities in
Thomasville, we encourage you to offer your time and support in 2015. It sure helps to get one in the spirit of giving.
The Thomasville Shrine Club membership hope that your 2014 events find a favorite spot in your bucket of memories and bring smiles to your face
as you think of times past. As well, we hope that 2015 will see your bucket overflow!

Road Runners
2014 was a year of the rebirth of the Road
Runners. It was a great joy to be exciting the
children at the parades and providing a lively spirit
to our fraternal fellowship. It was all culminated
with the honor of standing by the side of one of our
own as Tony Morris was sworn in as the Potentate
in January of this year.
In our elections, Doug Head was elected as
president, Don Baker was elected as vice-president,
and Brad Hurst was retained as our treasurer and
secretary. The unit voted as a whole to become
members of the Dixie Motor Corp and we have
plans on participating in the competitions in
Panama City in May of this year.
We anticipate continued growth in 2015 and are
planning on being the center piece for our parade
events, starting with the ceremonial in Adel.
Beep-Beep!
Tifton Shrine
The Tifton Shrine closed out a fantastic 2014 with a
New Year's Eve Bash. We rang in the New Year
with live entertainment and the dance floor
rocking. If you missed this great event, be sure to
put it on your calendar early this year! The club
continued its growth with the addition of a new
member just after midnight on the 1st of January, by
welcoming Hector Rodriguez into the fold.
Elections brought forth a new president (Doug
Head), vice-president (Allen Jernigan), and
treasurer (Brad Hurst). Danny Saturday was elected
to remain as our secretary, as he still looks the best
in a dress.
We have many events planned for the year and we
would like to invite all Shriners to participate. Our
first poker tournament will take place in March
(details will follow soon). This event will help to
finance our planned construction projects, which
include a new deck, pig roasting pit, camper hookups, and children's playhouse. It is our hope to use
these improvements in order to provide recreational
opportunities for our local children serviced by our
shrine hospitals.
Thank you for your support.
Provost Guard
Elections have been held and Colonel Charles Sprat
will be C.O. of the guard for 2015. Still looking for
a few good men, rank is fast but, the pay is not all
that great, you start with nothing but it will double
each year after that.
Our Goal for the year, support our Potentate and
Divan, pray for our military and keep at Zero
bubbles.
Hello Nobles and Ladies,
All too often we forget to say thank you to an
individual or group that have gotten out and
worked their butts off for Hasan Shrine.
There is one group that we are all familiar with
since we see them at out temple meetings and at
every parade. They are a pretty rough looking
bunch and they ride around in a truck that looks
like it should have been sent to the scrap yard
long ago. This group may look rough but they
have a heart of gold and that truck will outrun
almost any vehicle on the road.
Several groups (Clubs and Units) get out and
collect money for our Hospitals or the
Transportation fund. Both of these are a necessity
to keep our hospitals and our shrine center in
operation.
The Unit I am talking about is the Ben Hillbillies
based in Fitzgerald, GA. This year they have
gotten out on several occasions and held a paper
sale and have sent checks to Hasan totaling
$6,540.50.
Since the Hillbillies started collecting in 1983,
they have sent $63,983 to Hasan. I feel very
strongly that his group of nobles need to be
commended for this work.
The next time any of us see a Ben Hillbilly, we
need to shake their hand and say Thank you.
Fraternally,
Allen Jernigan, P.P.
And a member of the Hillbillies
