First of all, a big congrats goes out to Kenny “Sparky”
Loftis on winning the 22 rifle at the Stated Meeting, and
remember at the May Stated Meeting I will be giving
away a 20 GAUGE SINGLE SHOT SHOTGUN!
Thanks to everyone for showing up to the Stated
Meetings. We have been having great crowds.
The Potentate’s Ball was great! Tammy and myself
will always be indebted to each of you. A HUGE thanks
to Jimmy Hedgepath (Rene), Jeff Head (Kim) and Past
Potentate Dennis Belford (Paula) and the committee for
the beautiful job, and the bar was unbelievable!
fter the Ball, it only got busier… Grand Lodge
started, Maundy Thursday, and the Patient’s Easter Egg
Party. It was a great time watching our children laughing
and having fun. Thanks to the committee and clowns!
And then the Paper Sale Caravan started and it was
another busy week.
Don’t forget the Dixie Convention in Panama City,
Imperial Session in Daytona Beach and the Southeastern
Convention in Pigeon Forge. April has the information in
the office.
Don’t forget to start selling circus ads.
BE HUMBLE, BE KIND, BE NOBLE

From the desk of...
CHIEF RABBAN
I encourage everyone to visit the web site at the
end of my article for information about our
Al Menah Shrine Circus. Many of you may
not know the history of this annual event
or that it has been held at the old Sulphur
Dell Baseball Park (now rebuilt and the
new home of our Nashville Sounds!), the
Tennessee State Fairgrounds Coliseum, and
it’s present home the Nashville Municipal
Auditorium.
Some of us will never forget the 1998 circus,
which managed to continue despite the tornado that hit downtown
Nashville on the first day of the circus! This event gives everyone an
opportunity for good old fashioned and clean family entertainment
and since the closure of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and
Bailey Circus in 2017 we are literally the only show like it in town!
I hope that everyone is making plans for October 5-7 for this year’s
big show! We will need all Nobles to make this circus a success.
Be sure and join our 2018 Ringmaster Club where for $130 you
will be given 4 reserved circus tickets, a men’s soft side travel FEZ
case and a men’s travel garment bag. For only $40, the ladies can
have their own travel garment bag. We will need everyone to sell ads
for our program and purchase your Nobility tickets.
Most of all, we need all Nobles to attend with their families. Be
sure and let me know what part you would like to play in making
this major fundraiser for our Temple one of the best ever!

Our annual paper sale is underway, and I hope
everyone is having great weather. Remember...
you can raise paper sale money all year
through plaque sales, auctions, road blocks
and many other ways, just to name a few.
Al Menah has always done a great job
raising funds for our hospitals!
On Sunday, May 20, 2018, our Shriners
Hospitals for Children Medical Center in
Lexington, KY is having an annual open
house. If you have never had the opportunity
to attend, this would be a great time to do so. We
all work so hard to provide the funding for our healthcare system, so
if you have the chance, then go and see the miracles that happen every
day at our facilities.
Just a reminder... May 15th is our next stated meeting before we
go dark in June and July. Hope to see everyone at the next meeting.
Always remember as we go around visiting the Blue Lodges to
promote our philanthropy “Shriners Hospitals for Children” and our
fraternity. Our brothers can also promote our cause and refer children
to the hospitals. There will always be a child that we can help.

HIGH PRIEST PRIEST AND PROPHET AND PROPHET
Looks like I will have to admit one of my
predictions was wrong. As a Prophet,
that’s hard to do, but the truth is the
Clowns won the room contest at
the Potentate’s Ball. I should say
the “Clown ladies” won the contest
since the Clowns themselves have
a hard time finding the room, much
less decorating the thing.... Speaking
of Clowns - if you have time, ask PP
Dennis Belford about his special title,
bestowed on his person by the Nobles of the
Clarksville Shrine Club. I’ll give you a hint: small, pink, round,
slimy and it has antlers... He can tell you the whole story.
Remember fellows, the paper sale is a time when the world
sees Shriners for what we really are or not. Take some time and
collect some money for the children. It will be good for your
heart and soul to work a couple of days for the less fortunate.
Come see us in May, last meeting before we go dark for the
summer.
High Priest and Prophet

ORIENTAL GUIDE
It’s Paper Sale time in Tennessee! I trust
each of you have made plans with your
unit or club to work the upcoming Paper
Sale May 03-06.
The month of May holds many
ORIENTAL GUIDE
opportunities for you to get involved
and enjoy some fun and fellowship
with your fellow Nobles. A few of
the upcoming events are Fun Fest in
Gatlinburg, Dixie Shrine Association
Convention in Panama City, and the Al
Menah Clowns road trip to the Greenville Hospital for a tour of
this great facility.
If you haven’t yet made plans to be in Daytona for Imperial
Session you should do so soon as time is running out. This is a
great opportunity for all of Al Menah to show their support of
Imperial Sir Jim Cain.
Thank you for all that you do in support of our great fraternity
and the life changing medical care Shriners provide.
If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care
of itself. - Henry Ford

Paper Sale Donation from Kroger
On Monday, 7/18 Potentate Jeff Head and members of the Williamson
County Shrine Club were with Kroger Management at their Belle
Meade store where they presented a $1,000.00 to us for the Shrine
Hospitals for Children. The Kroger Manager was an acquaintance of
Scotty and Teresa Travis who put this together for the Al Menah Shrine
Hospitals for Children Paper Sale.
This is a portion of a message from Phyllis Berry, wife of this
Kroger Store Manager, Michael Berry.
Let me tell you, our son was a Shrine Hospital patient
and we are forever grateful The experience was an
awakening in humanity. The care was phenomenal. The
friendship my family made. The support from the men in
your fraternity was phenomenal. We thank you for all you
and your members do for children across the country.
Sincerely
Phyllis Berry
Fraternally,
Butch Mayes, WCSC

Clowns
It looks like spring is finally here and the
Fabulous Al Menah Clowns had a busy
April and looks like May will keep us busy
also.
We started off April with our Annual
Easter Egg hunt on the 1st. It was a great
success, open to the patients and their families.
We took pictures, made balloons and
put on several skits to entertain everyone.
On April 7th we entertained for a Downs
Syndrome event held at the Shrine Center
doing what we do best, take pictures, make
balloons and made friends with some of the
sweetest kids you’ll ever meet. It was just
an honor to be a part of this great event.
May will be busy with the Paper Sale,
the most important event that Shriners take
part in. We also look forward to our annual
Clown Hospital Trip, May 18th through the
20th, to Greenville, SC.
One of our favorite upcoming events
to look forward to is the Annual Clown
Golf tournament to be held May 21st. Put
together a team and have a good time for a
worthwhile cause.
As always, thank you to all of you for
what you do to support our children’s hospitals.
Please keep those that are sick and
unable to attend our events in your prayers.
Keep on Clowning!!
Jim “Snips” Lee
Secretary
Director’s Staff
After having celebrated the resurrection
of Jesus and being full of Easter Candy
we now turn our thoughts towards May
Flowers.
Our Unit continues to bring in new
members and we are constantly
looking forward to our regular
8
members coming out to the festive board
and our meetings.
We have several new ideas being presented
and would appreciate everyone contributing
their thoughts and ideas.
One of the main concerns is with the
cancellation of the Onion Sales we need
ways to generate operating capitol. Please
put your thinking caps on, all ideas are
appreciated.
We are also starting to work towards the
fall ceremony with repairing our stunts and
adding some new ones to make the second
section as memorable as possible for not
only the new candidates but also the sponsors
of the same.
A couple events that have taken place and
were enjoyed by those that could make it
were;
1. April 7 the Mule Day Parade at Columbia
2. April 22 The Old fashion Southern
Gospel at the Temple
3. May 3-6 the Paper Sale
Several dates to keep in mind:
• May 12 there are two parades one
in Portland (Strawberry) and one in
Franklin (Rodeo)
• June 2 parade in Old Hickory (Centennial)
• June 23 The John Dudley Fishing
Tournament Old Hickory Lake
• July 4 parade in Greenbrier
• July 15-19 Imperial Session Daytona
Beach FL.
• Sept 20 the Directors Staff Golf Tournament
First weekend in Oct The Circus is
coming and the Ringmaster packages are
available.
Please note these dates, plan to attend,
and help out as needed.

Legion of Honor
While a small unit, the LOH has been very
busy with the presentation of Colors. The
Legion presented at the Potentate’s Ball,
and the Potentate’s Easter Patients’ Easter
Egg Hunt. The presentations were well
received by both groups.
Coupled with this, the Legion also
presented Colors at Columbia’s Mule Days.
The weather was cold and the wind strong,
but the Legion carried on!
Again the crowd was very receptive, and
cheered on the Legionaires.
The Legion continues to receive a large
number of presentation requests due to the
fact that it is one of the few units available
for public presentations. As all of Al Menah
is excited about the raising of Imperial
Sir Jim Cain to be Imperial Potentate, the
Legion is preparing for
a formal International Standards presentation
in Daytona. Nobles Singleton and
Steele are taking the unit through its paces.
As Memorial Day approaches, requests
are coming in, and the Legion will be very
active on that week end. Also, assignments
are being made
to sell Papers on Paper Sale week end, the
first week end in May.
Significant internal changes are occurring
within the Legion, and more information
will be available shortly. Any Honorably
Discharged Shriner can be a member
of the Legion - check into it!!!!

A Noble and Patient View
Hello Nobles
I would like to apologize for my leaving the stated
meeting on 2/20/18. I tend to get emotional when
the hospital system comes up for debate or in general
conversation within the temple.
Some of you know my history within the Shriners.
See I am a former Patient of Shriners Hospital Lexington
for 12 or 13 years. Given my history I have a unique perspective
on the Hospital system. Every Shriner knows
and understands the life changing effect of the care the
hospitals give to our kids and their families. But I want
to let you know that if it wasn’t for Lexington Shriners
hospital I would not be the man I am today. I wouldn’t
be able to Work, Drive, or even Walk.
More About the
Ladies Extravaganza
Get ready everyone! After six fantastic years, we are
anxiously planning our 7th Annual Ladies Extravaganza
to benefit our Shrine Center. It will be held at Al
Menah Shrine Center on Saturday, November 3, 2018
and doors open from 9 am to 2 pm.
Our goal is to fill the floor space with vendors offering
beautiful crafts, jewelry, handbags, lotions etc.
as well as our absolutely gorgeous tablescapes and
treescapes. This year we hope to add centerpieces and
wreaths as well. Breakfast is provided by the Legion of
Honor and lunch is provided by the Rainbow Girls.
I wouldn’t be a Freemason let alone be a Shriner.
My life and the life of my family was forever changed
due to a Nameless Noble almost 30 years ago sponsored
a toddler.
When I was 7 years old I saw a portrait of a I.P. in
the hospital. With an Apron adorning his suit. That’s
when I decided to become a Mason when I came of
age and was able.
I guess you could call this an explanation article or
a feel good article, both I believe would be correct. To
each his own.
In closing I will leave you with a phase I’m pretty
sure I heard somewhere “Every Shriner should wear
the Fez with equal pleasure to himself and Honor to
the Order”
Joe Atchley
We will also have a tasty bake sale. Parking and admission
is both free and this event is open to the public.
We will also have entertainment and lot of door
prize.
We are very excited as the committee is hard at
work to plan this year’s event. We want to get the word
out to as man people as possible in hopes of having an
“over the top” event. We need everyone to help spread
the word!!!
If you are interested in sponsoring a tablescape, Christmas
tree, donating, becoming a vendor, or volunteering
please contact Renee Bolden at (615) 713-7311 or
Beth Williams at (615) 336-2236.
SAVE the DATE : JULY 18, 2018
Patsy and I would like to personally invite each of you to attend
and participate in the pageant and installation of the
