We invite you to stop by our Oasis any Tuesday evening at 7PM for fellowship, Camels Milk and our hospitality. I assure you that our band is full of life and we will enjoy your company. Another great year is upon us and we have already played for the Initiation of the Divan Officers and the installation of our new Potentate, Illustrious Sir, Ken Mitz.

Randy Eades, Director, summons all Nomads of Hadi OB to the Oasis to practice every Tuesday evening at 7PM. Our successful Oasis gatherings will be vital to the band being ready for our hosting of the 2015 GLSA Jamboree. The 2015 Officers look forward to a great year working together and growing the band to maintain the Hadi Oriental Band as one of the active units in the temple and one of the best Oriental Bands in the GLSA. We look forward to seeing all members that are available for practice and OB functions when anybody has the opportunity to join our fellow Nomads for fellowship and fun.

10 hot Sands Vol. 89 No. 9 september 2014 Hospital Staff By Jack Benjamin I am writing my last article. It is with mixed emotions that I do this. When you turn over the reigns to another person you must be sure they will be right for the job. I know that with this change I am leaving to coordinator s position in very capeable hands. Ron Higgs will carry on in great fashion! I will still be available to give presentations to various groups. Contact me at When I took over the coordinator position and was in need of purchasing a van I was told that we did not have enough money to make a deal. I called a former student and member of the Hospital Staff and told him my needs. He generously donated enough to get the van. Due to several generous donations since that time we have been able to make purchases in a timely fashion. What I am trying to say is that I am leaving us in a better financial state that I inherited. Keep it going! I have failed to give credit to some very important people, please forgive me. Charlene ran the Vincennes operation for many years. Since Charlene has retired, Mary Lang has stepped up and filled the void. She is also getting help from Gary Stiles, Dennis Massey and Jed Lang.
