American Family Mutual Insurance Company and its Subsidiaries American Family Insurance Company Home Office – Madison, WI 53783 Director’s Staff By: Joe Stom Well, the year is well underway and the Directors Staff is gearing up for another great year. It is hard to imagine but Circus is already upon us. We will again be running the inflatables room as well as selling novelties just down the hall on the second floor. If you can free up some time, come on out to help. We could use help setting the room up Wednesday night. The remaining days we need people to man the room and novelty stand. Please come out to help. It is a little work and a whole lot of fun. Also just around the corner is our annual Mardi Gras extravaganza. Mardi Gras takes place on March 3rd this year. If you have never been to a Mardi Gras, this is the one to come to as it is our first ever bead bonanza. If you would like a ticket or table, look up any member of the Directors staff. Our annual SDA convention is also rapidly approaching. The dates are March 28th through March 31st in San Antonio. Last year at this time, the Directors Staff was busy preparing to host this convention. It sure will be nice to just relax and enjoy it this time. If you can make the trip, you should. It is a great way to meet Shriners from across the country. It is always a great time. You don’t have to look to far ahead on the calendar to find ceremonial and parade season. I am really looking forward to the year ahead with the Directors Staff. It is already shaping up to be a great one.

Tangier “hot sands” Chanters By: Bernie Hauber, Captain Here we are in the second month of a new year.zively. The Chanters performed at the installation of the Tangier Shrine Divan on January 6, 2012. We hope we made a good impression on all the Nobles and Ladies present at this event. In a continuation of the tradition started last year, I would like to introduce you to our Lieutenant, Noble Joe Riddle. He worked for the Rock Island, then the Chicago & North Western and then the Union Pacific (UP) Railroads starting in 1973. He retired in 2006 from the UP as a crew dispatcher. Joe was a member of the Illinois Air National Guard for over 26 years as a member of the 566 Air Force Band. He has been a Master Mason for over 33 years. Joe was raised in Boulevard Lodge No. 882 AF&AM (now West Englewood - Home Lodge No 1074 AF&AM in Oaklawn, IL) and was Master in 1984 and 1987. He is a dual member of Coral Lodge No. 430 AF&AM in Carson, IA, and has been Secretary since 1996. Joe belongs to the Oak Lawn, IL York Rite Bodies, Omaha Valley of the Scottish Rite. His wife Ellen and he also belong to Amber Star Chapter OES, Quick, IA, Harmony Chapter OES, Council Bluffs, IA. They, also, belong to Friendship Court, Order of the Amaranth, Oak Lawn, IL and Unity Shrine, White Shrine of Jerusalem (WSJ), Tinley Park, IL and Harmony Council Shrine WSJ, Council Bluffs, IA. He joined the Chanters as a top tenor in 2009, and has been a valued member ever since. Any man with a joy for singing and interested in joining us should contact any Chanter or just stop by on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Mondays around 7:30 pm at the Shrine Center. (This is a revised meeting schedule!) That’s my update for February. Of course, we all know that February 23 through 26, 2012 is the Shrine Circus and the Chanters will provide direction on the ramps and help with the National Anthem as usual. See you there! “Singing has always seemed to me the most perfect means of expression.” Georgia O’Keeffe (American painter) Hospital Float By: Mike Donham As this article is written, January has been mild and snowless. I hope this continues into February. February is Circus month and the Hospital Float Unit has in the past been involved with ticket taking. Again this year Float members will be asked to sign up for that job. The dates for the Circus are February 23rd – 26th. With sadness, we report the passing of Lady Claudette Harmon in January. Her husband, Noble Bill Harmon, a member of the Hospital Float Unit, preceded her in death in 2006. Our sincere condolences are sent to Claudette’s family. Under sickness, Noble Dean Anderson had a knee replacement and Lady Nadine Ellis spent two days in the hospital. Lady Carol Plummer has fallen again recently and is recovering slowly. We extend our best to all for a speedy recovery. Happy Birthday wishes for February to Nobles Ed Nolte, Stan Hale and Mike Donham and to Ladies Maggie Ferryman, Martha Sherman and Wilma Henderson. Noble Ken and Lady Cindy Nisley and Noble Tim and Lady Laura Mendoza will celebrate February anniversaries. Congratulations! Remember Nobles: “Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.” – George Bernard Shaw MO-RI By: Noble Don: The Tangier election for 2012 is now history. The new Divan and MO-RI officers have been installed and ready to take their place leading Tangier into the future. MO-RI wishes to congratulate our new Potentate, Illustrious Sir Greg Hadcock and Lady Donna as well as the remainder of the elevated and elected Divan. Tangier’s new Oriental Guide Charlie Marchand and Lady Connie have joined MO-RI and already contributed by attending our December 2011 dinner meeting. MO-RI also wishes to acknowledge Past Potentate Bob Klesath and Lady Suz along with his Divan for all of the assistance and guidance they shared with us during another strong year for our Shrine Club. On the subject of Circus ads, preliminary results indicate MO-RI will meet and surpass last year’s target. We need to continue to appreciate our longtime sponsors as they continue to support our cause. Remaining positive, our selling staff has found several new sponsors to add to our success in selling ads for 2012. Speaking of the Circus, mark your calendars for February 23 – 26. Don’t miss out on what could be the last time Tangier will be at the Civic. No matter where the Tangier Circus performs there will always be the smiles on the faces in the audience. Our February 16 dinner meeting will be held in Omaha’s Rockbrook Village at the Pasta Amore Café, 108th and Center. Please bring your Lady and join us for the evening. Bring along a potential new Mason. – Please Support Our Sponsors – FEBRUary 2012 Keystone Kops By: Captain Corey M. Hall Brothers and sisters, Kops and Kuties, Shriners and Ladies all: I’m glad to say that the New Year is here. It’s now February and Circus time again. This is my favorite time to be a Shriner. I love the Circus. Seeing the smiles on the faces of everyone there just drives home the good feeling that I get, knowing that we are working hard for the patients being treated at our Shrine Hospitals and having the greatest time doing it. I hope to see all available Kops and Kuties there in full goofy force to make this year’s Circus the best one ever. Skit ideas are already being kicked around (like Kop helmets at Circus) and I’m sure there will be some “boom booms” in there somewhere. So get out those uniforms, wash the crusty pie from CSSA off of them, sew the “RIGHT” shiny buttons on them and FALL IN! If you didn’t get a chance to go to the greatest New Year’s party in Omaha then you missed out. Tangier was once again the place to be on New Year’s Eve. Kops and Kuties turned out in force, but as we all know what happens in Tangier stays in Tangier so that’s another story. I myself turned another year older in January, and due to a clerical error no one knew, but that’s OK by me. Now on that note I would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to the wife of our newest Past Chief Tracey Goodman, and our newest Kop Steve Elliot. Glad to have you Brother! I would also like to say Happy Anniversary to Past Chief Bob “Red Dog” Regnas and his Kutie Penny and Past Chief Jeff Burnham and his Kutie Kim.
