6 Hadi Membership Committee Fall Ceremonial is over and we brought in 16 new nobles! I want to thank everyone involved and especially those who brought in new nobles. Without you and increasing membership, our temple would not succeed. As most of you know, the Samsar award program is recognition for those Nobles that bring others into the Shrine. Every Noble can earn points toward a Samsar Award by obtaining Shrine memberships. This award is earned by accumulating at least 100 points. Nobles receive 10 points per top line signed and 5 points per second line signed. When points total 100, a Noble is entitled to receive a Samsar Award which he can proudly wear at all Shrine meetings. A Noble can continue to accumulate points towards additional awards to be attached to his Samsar award. As your membership chairman, I am ready to grow this Temple! Let s outnumber the Black Camel! Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision, the ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results - Andrew Carnegie Your membership chairman, Chad Denton, Outer Guard Oriental Band Safe, Happy and Blessed Holiday Season to all from the members of Hadi Oriental Band & their families. Hadi OB once again did a fantastic job entertaining our new Nobles in the first section of our Fall Ceremonial. A big thank you to OB Brethren for your participation throughout the day and consideration in helping show our newly raised Brothers around Hadi Temple. To our new Nobles, your journey has just begun. Now it s up to you what path you want to take and where you want it to take you. Make the most of it, Nobles. We congratulate you on this big step! Now, get active, get involved with a unit or county club and enjoy being a Shriner. We invite you to stop by our Oasis some Tuesday evening around 7 PM and check us out. Enjoy some camels milk and our hospitality. Who knows, the OB could be the unit your re looking to join. We ride in all parades, provide your uniform and instrument if your re active. You need not be musically inclined and we have low annual dues. You owe it to yourself to stop by. The OB is the place to be. The OB elected their new officers for 2019 at our November business meeting. I will have them posted for you in the January Hot Sands. Thank you to all our members who came down to participate in and support this important meeting. I believe we ve elected a good group to carry us through next year!

Honored Ladies Recently we welcomed a new member to our Hadi Honored Ladies group. Her name is Ginny Wyatt.

It takes all of us working together to make this happen.

Our members are asked to volunteer taking turns as hostesses at our meetings.

Our Hostesses in September were Joyce McFarland, Liz Gentry and Mary Lou Felker. For their program we played Bingo, with some crazy twists, and prizes were given for each Bingo.

For her program Judy invited Melissa Nicholson, a Financial Advisor, who gave us some helpful information on handling our particular financial concerns.

Also our Hadi Representative, Phil Smith, PP, and his Lady Charlotta usually host the month of February. This is Phil s and Charlotta s Valentine for all the ladies.

It has quickly passed us by. Ceremonial has come and gone. It was great to see all the Patrol Men and Nobles that came out that day to support all the new nobles.
