Hospital Staff 2016 is past and 2017 in upon us. We have so many blessings to be grateful for during our 2016 year. First of all, our health and the support and prayers from our Nobles and friends to our Illustrious Potentate and family. The Hospital Staff had a very busy year culminating with the Shriner Kids Christmas party on December 11th. A special thanks is extended to Bill Coomer (Santa), Daughter s of the Nile, the Hadi Funsters, Divan members, Nobles, Ladies for making this event so special for our kids. As in all years there is a changing of the Guard, this is no different for the Hospital Staff. Our Captain elect is Butch Carl, 1st Lieutenant Mike Palmer, 2nd Lieutenant Tim Martin, our new Sergeant Mike Russell, Secretary Gerald Davis and Treasurer Paul Embry. As many of you know, the Hospital Staff is raising money for a building to be used for staff members and a patient lounge. Legion of Honor By Curran Wilkinson, Adjutant Greetings from Hadi Legion of Honor. It seems that the year 2016 has passed very rapidly. Like all of you, for me it has had some downfalls; however, it can still be referred to as a good year. The 83rd. Hadi Shrine Circus has come and passed, and what a great show it was! We say thanks to all the hard working nobles who made the circus possible. Countless hours of planning and hard work are necessary for this show to be possible, not to mention the clean up afterwards. GREAT JOB GUYS! Now that the holiday season has passed, and we certainly hope everyone had a good one, we are starting the new year 2017. Along with the new year comes new officers, dues paying time, and planning for the year ahead. Hadi LOH officers are as follows: Commander, Ned Wellmeier, Lt. Commander, Karl Fark, Adjutant, Curran Wilkinson, Finance Officer, Frank Seib, and Chaplain, Jim Stoneman. The new building will be equipped with handicap bathrooms for our Shrine Kids, a carport for our Hospital vans and some storage for the many gift items we receive for our hospitals. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many donors and would like to thank the Nobles and friends who donated over $11,000 in honor of Ginny Schuler. Potentate, Brother, Past Captain, Past President, Dan Schuler extends his heartfelt thanks to all. Our latest contributors are James and Peggy Bauer as we have received many contributions, the Hospital Staff Building Fund extends kudos to all who have given.
