Murat Shriners Business Connection Chris Kinsey A new year has arrived and we are looking to move our Unit forward along with the Murat Shrine. Our officers were installed in January and our president, Randy Nail, unveiled his 2013 agenda. Special thanks to Illustrious Sir Jim Priest and the rest of the Divan for their attendance. Our Unit will return to its networking roots, emphasizing our theme: “Building Relationships Through Networking.” We are going to emphasize connections and business opportunities within and outside of our Shriner brethren. At the heart of our efforts will be a drive to develop new members and reconnect with former members of MSBC. (You know who you are!) We are striving to move our temple into an upward trend membership wise. Most of us believe we can accomplish this by providing positive exposure to Murat Shrine—moving our temple (and Shriners) into the community conversation through our business contacts and networking. We have a series of “Meet and Greets” slated with a special speaker presentation from someone noteworthy in Murat and/or the community. This is an excellent chance to connect with one another and engage with leaders among us. Jeff Zaring, past Indiana Grand Master, was one of our first guests this quarter, and it was a delight to have him speak at our February meeting. Special thanks to Jeff for speaking to our group, and we appreciate what a great Mason he is. Other events we have planned are a bus trip to the Chicago Shriners Hospital and a family bike ride on June 8 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Member or not, we would love to have you join us! In years past, we have awarded numerous $1,000 scholarships to deserving recipients who were former patients of Shriners Hospitals. In 2012, we are proud to say our group gave out 10 scholarships! Special thanks to past MSBC President Don Richards for coordinating this effort. In 2013, so far we have three (and possibly more) scholarships to award. We are hoping to award additional scholarships and this will depend on our donations and/or fundraising activities. Our scholarships will now be coordinated through our committee, the Scholarship Award Program (SAP). This MSBC committee will be coordinating all activities related to the SAP. We moved our scholarship business into committee to reserve our meetings for business networking. This committee will report to the Unit at our Stated Meetings. Our dues have been reduced to $30/year (no mandatory auction/dinner tickets). Our members have an option of advertising in a reserved section of Murat Magazine for $15/month; non-members may also advertise for $20/ month. Meetings will be reserved for networking and “business connections.” Other business such as scholarships, social events, etc. will be conducted in our committee and board meetings. Our Unit meets the fourth Tuesday each month in the Murat Oasis, Room B, at 6:30 p.m. for social time, and our formal meeting begins at 7 p.m. Attendees have the option of ordering dinner beforehand and dining during our meeting. If you have any questions, please call Randy Nail at (317) 507-3863 or e-mail him at Rnail@muratmsbc.org. Golf Calendar Randall West The season is about to begin, the driving range will be open, and we will line up to try and shake off that winter rust. That’s a great plan for March, but I never understood how the winter rust hangs on until August! Golf chairmen, let’s get your info turned in so we may place your outing on the calendar. Remember, we need Date, Time, Location (directions to course if applicable), Golf Format, Cost, Contact Person and Contact Info, and any additional details such as Zem-Zem, Lunch/Dinner, etc. Please send your information to Potentate James Priest at potentate@ muratshrine.org and myself, Randall West, Golf Chairman, at kirbygolfer@ gmail.com. We have heard from a few Shrine Clubs and these outings have been approved by Illustrious Sir Jim Priest. May 9—Shelby County Shrine Club at Bear Chase Golf Course in Shelbyville. Additional details to follow per Bill Rasner. June 20—Madison County Shrine Club, 11 a.m. at Meadowbrook Golf Course. Additional details to follow per Bill McCarty. July 12—Montgomery County Shrine Club at Rocky Ridge Golf Course in Darlington. Details to follow per Greg Miller. In addition, the Potentate’s Golf Outing honoring James N. Priest will be September 9 at Maple Creek Country Club. We have also scheduled a golf outing for June 7 during the Brown County Festival and, of course, the Great Lakes Shrine Association golf outing set for September 11 in Cincinnati. One last thought: Hazards attract, Fairways repel! If I don’t see you before, I’ll see you on the first tee. 18 THE MURAT MAGAZINE
