                     GREETINGS FROM YOUR POTENTATE
Greetings Nobles,

Margie and I hope that everyone is doing well. It looks like we are about to see the end of this period of isolation
from each other and just maybe we can get back to Having Fun Together. We have had several events this year
that I think have been very successful and well attended. The Fish Fry, March 19th, was a great event! Thanks to
all who made it happen, Noble John Hartley and his lady provided and cook all the fish, fries, and hushpuppies.
Lady Dot Horton provided the grits and the Widows club provided dessert. Ill Sir Chris Saul provided the music. To
Noble Mitch Esser, Lady Cindy Lenn, Lady Christine Francis, Past First Lady Adrienne Zarahn, all the Divan Ladies
and all who help with the decorations and entertainment. We thank each one of you so much! We also would like to
thank the Director Staff for allowing the use their warehouse for this event. On March 20th, The Potentate Ball, Lady
Margie’s theme was Denim and Diamonds and Chief of Staff, Bobby Gean, with his vision, creativity, energy, hard
work and the help of so many made it come to life. The food was very good thanks to expertise of Members of the
Untouchables and their ladies, headed up by Past Imperial Chaplain David Lenn and Noble Harold Grosskoph. We
hope everyone had a good time listening and dancing to the music of the High Time band while dressed up in their
cowboy hats and boots. It was so good to see Hadji full of Nobles, their ladies and guest having a good time. We
would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in making 2021 Potentate Ball a success. I
would like to especially thank Bobby Gean and Cindy Lenn for taking care of the many details involved in putting on
a Potentate Ball and for taking a lot of stress off my lady Margie and I. Thanks to my lady Margie for all the hard work
she did on this Ball and for being by my side all these years in good times and bad times, I love you with all my heart.
On April 3rd, we had the annual Children Easter Egg hunt, chaired by Hadji Oriental Guide Rondel King and his lady
Debbie. It was well attended and enjoyed by all. Thanks to all the Nobles, their ladies and Units who participated.
The kids had a great time getting their picture taken with the Easter Bunny provided by noble Dean Given. On April
9th, the Untouchables Unit had their annual Crawfish Boil which was a great success thanks to President Mitch
Esser, his lady Corrie and the Nobles and Ladies of the Untouchables. It was a great time for all who attended with
games, prizes and 50/50. I was told by many that the crawfish were some of best they ever had, thanks to our new
Noble Teddy Mansfield and crew. On May 1st, the Director Staff had their 31st Annual Golf Tournament which is
always a good event thanks to the hard work of the Nobles of the Director Staff, their ladies, Director Jay Cowick, his
lady Betty and all the Units and nobles who help. It was a fun day! On May 8th, the Golf Unit had their First Annual
Putt-Putt Golf Tournament, which I am told they had over thirty teams participating, that is outstanding. Thank you to
all that made this new event a success. This is what we need for every Unit to come up with. An event that is fun for
all who attend. This is what makes a Unit strong, this is what makes a unit grow. This is what will make Hadji grow.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support this year and thank you for the honor and pleasure to serve the
Nobility of Hadji as your potentate for 2021. I hope my performance has been what you expected of me, if not let me
know, remember I work for you.
Let’s have fun helping kids, Let’s have fun taking care of Hadji and Let’s have fun in all that we do!

Your Potentate,
Illustrious Sir George Wise

                              HADJI SHRINERS MISFITS
Greetings from the Misfits,

We Misfits pray that this article finds everyone doing well and moving pass the pandemic. Returning to normal activity
is what we Hadji Misfits are attempting to do as of this month. We have scheduled our first regular meeting April
21. Our parade vehicles have sat idle for a year. Three Misfit members were able to get their Go Karts ready and
provided rides for many children at the Hadji Children’s Easter Party on April 3. Misfits Jody Villar, Jim Cox, Rondel
King and Past Potentate Ed Brown tirelessly provided rides around the Hadji grounds for many children. There was
a lot of children who lined up for a ride. It appeared that the drivers had
as much fun as the children.

The Misfits Unit is a very active Hadji Shriners Parade Unit and our
members welcome all interested Nobles to join us. If you think that you
would enjoy representing Shriners in parades, our members are eager to
talk to you about our parade involvement and other Misfits Unit activities.
Also, you can check us out by attending one of our unit meetings. We
meet the third Wednesday of each month, at 7:00PM, in our second floor
Unit room of Hadji Shrine Center.

Keep the Faith,
Morgan Hamm

                                 HADJI DIRECTOR’S STAFF
Nobles all:
  The Director’s staff has had a busy and productive May so far. The annual golf tournament held on May 1st
was a great success thanks to all who volunteered, and the many donors and sponsors. The weather was
perfect and a good time was had by all. Thank you to Director Jay Cowick for all of his hard work leading the
way in our 31st year having the tourney. Thanks also to the other units that volunteered their time and service
to help make it a success.
  The Director’s staff has also been working the bars at the MMA fights that are being held at the Shrine
Temple, as well as helping with the setup of chairs and tables etc. The fights have become a regular fixture at
the Temple and are fun for all involved.
  We are focusing on membership this year and are adding new members to the staff that will be a great
compliment to our unit.
Director’s Staff officers for 2021 are:
Director:     Noble Jay Cowick
President - Vice President:    Noble Ken Siefert
Secretary - Treasurer:    Noble Richard Trahan
Thanks also to Illustrious Sir George Wise, our Potentate, for his leadership, support, and guidance this year.
We are looking forward to working with you and the Divan to make this a great year for the Hadji Shriners.

Sincerely,
Ken Siefert
