Greetings From The Potentate...
Responses from our Nobles and families to our motto Celebrating Hadji excite me—we are Hadji and
celebrating our history and our future is our nature and our spirit!
Our parade units and clowns are excited about our focus on increasing the visibility of Hadji Shriners
and giving children of all ages a positive memory of our beloved Shrine through our participation in
parades—Westgate School, Okaloosa Island, Milton, Orange Beach, Navarre Beach, Chumuckla, Jay
and more. As I write this, it has been 24 hours since our Clowns; Komics; Antique Cars; Hayseeds;
Misfits; Oriental Band; and Riders along with our Ladies; Past Potentate Charlie Batson and I experienced
the absolute joy of parading at Westgate School.
Participation in the County and Western Dance, sponsored by the Misfits and Riders Units, was great. Everyone had a footstomping good time to some great music. The Units did a super job and have planned three more dances this year. It was worth
the evening just to watch Noble Bert Penegar, 2nd Ceremonial Master, teaching Lady Tammie the art of North Carolina beach
shagging—whatever that is.
On the evening of March 3rd there will be a murder at Hadji. The Hadji Dinner Theater will feed you a fine meal and engage you
in solving this mystery. I promise you will have fun. Call the office to get your ticket.
When you read this, a bunch of us will have represented Hadji at Hospital Days at our Tampa Hospital—a special time as
Illustrious Sir Arngie Pope, P.P., is the Chairman of the Board of Governors at Tampa. At the same time, another group
represented you at the Dixie Shrine Association mid-winter meeting in Birmingham where Illustrious Sir Mike McCombs, P.P.
and member of the Untouchables is 2nd Vice President. Start getting ready for a great celebration when he is President.
Noble Tony Stepleton, Chief Rabban, is marching quick-step and making our Special Events 50-gun Give-Away a special
opportunity for everyone regardless of where they live. Imagine, with single ticket you can win every gun on the list. Sell five
tickets and get a free ticket for a special 10-gun drawing. Call Noble Tony or the Hadji Office and find out how!
We are moving quickly to complete the plans for our Potentate’s Trip to Savannah, Georgia, in May. There will be a special
meeting in the Gold Room at 2:00 PM on March 4th, come and get the trip information and join the excitement. We are
committed to make this a fun, affordable trip over a long weekend. Alee Shriners, Savannah, are looking forward to our visit and
we are planning to do something together.
If you haven’t made a bus trip lately, you owe it to yourself. A group of us just got back from the bus trip to the East West Shrine
Game in St. Petersburg and it was a blast! Assistant Rabban Darrell Mashburn and Lady Kathy were fantastic—a good game
and a barrel of laughs..
The Potentate’s Ball on June 23rd will be the 45th Birthday Party for Hadji and we will recognize the members and families who
worked so hard that we can celebrate Hadji. This magnificent facility was built by the hands of our Nobles and their families
who were fed by their Ladies while they worked. If you have memories, stories or pictures, call me (850) 305-2018. Your help
and participation will make this a grand celebration. I can promise you a surprise at the party!
Yours in the Faith,
Dan Bodiford

By Bill Little
DIRECTOR’S STAFF
By Deano Givens
With too much regularity, the Black Camel has again visited the Directors Staff.
With great sadness, I report the loss of Lifetime Member Stan Sewell, following an
extended but gallant battle with a serious illness.
Noble Stan leaves behind a loving wife, Lady Ann, and several children, and the
many Hadji Shriners and Directors Staff members who called him friend and brother.
He was the Secretary of the Staff for more than 19 years. His exemplary service
set the standard for which all future Secretaries will seek to obtain. He was as
active in the Shrine as any person I have know and his knowledge and experience
will be long missed.
Plans are underway for the Hadji Golf Tournament, which is sponsored by the
Directors Staff each year. This is a major money maker for Hadji and demands our
full support and participation. Please get with Golf Chairman Jay Cowick to ask
about what you can do to help make this tournament a success.
It looks like we will have a Ceremonial sometime in April. Director Bobby Richie will
be sharing his plans with us as details become available. As this writing, I don’t
know if it will be a one day or two day event.
March birthdays: Glen Etheridge (3/14), Adrienne Zarahn (3/15), and Odie Eddins
(3/22). Happy birthday all!
Crutches, wheelchairs, and
walkers are available for loan
to any Noble that has a
need for them.

Greetings to the Potentate, Divan and
Nobles.
Nobles, if you missed the Feb. 5th Super Bowl Party at Hadji, sponsored by
YOSHI, you missed a fun time. The food
was great as well as the fellowship.
There was a variety of food- something
for everybody, and it was delicious. Two
football pools were in place to make the
game even more exciting. There were
over a hundred people there and everyone had a great time. Thanks YOSHI.
Hadji’s new sign will advertise not only
events for Hadji but also for appendant
bodies (Lodge events, Scottish Rite
events, etc.) It will flash messages 12
seconds out of every 60 seconds.
Hadji’s security is being enhanced. New
doors for the East side will be installed,
and padlocks and combination locks will
be installed on certain doors. Lighting
will be updated for the front of the Center as well as the parking lots. All this
should provide better security for the
building.
Nobles, mark your calendars for the
Director’s Staff golf tournament on May
12th at Marcus Pointe. The cost is $
300/team and if you have anything to
contribute to the ditty bags see Jay
Cowick.

A new year is here with all the dopes and
dreams it’s just up to us to make them
happen. A special thanks to 2011
Potentate Ill. Sir Robert Gean and Lady
Kathy for their inspiring leadership
during 2011. Congratulations the 2012
Potentate Ill. Sir Dan Bodiford and may
this year be more than you have planned.
OSTSC pledges our support.

THE CLOWNS ARE BACK!!!!!
Tom Swindle, Mike Weaver and Emmitt
Toon have reactivated the Clown Unit,
with the addition of new clowns Robert
Gean PP, Darrell Mashburn, B.J.
Odom, Tony Stepelton, Eddie Stewart,
and veteran clowns Bob Burt and John
Straub.
In December, OSTSC had it’s election
followed by a great Christmas dinner at
the Elks Club. The following officers were
elected for 2012:
President: Marion Gobin
Vice President: John Brown
Secretary: Al Brown
Treasurer: George Bonner
The new clowns have been busy
learning about costumes, make up and
selecting a clown character that would
best fit the individual. Two new clowns,
Robert and Darrell, made their debut
with the assistance of Bob and John at
the Westgate School Mardi Gras
Parade (They even appeared in the
Pensacola News Journal and on
WEAR TV!!) The kids loved us and we
all had a great time.
President Gobin wishes to thank the
2011 officers for a job well done!!!
December was a busy month. Thanks to
the efforts of Noble Walt Hartness, a large
flat screen television complete with cable
was installed. Nobles are encouraged
to by singularly or in groups and use the
Club. Many members have expressed a
desire to use the club for more than
monthly meetings. This past year
numerous improvements have been
made to the backyard. Also in December,
15 Christmas baskets, complete with
frozen turkey, canned vegetables, stuffing
and a $50.00 WAL-MART gift certificates
were given to needy middle school
families. The $50.00 gift certificates were
the gift of two anonymous Nobles. If you
did not know, the Crestview High School
“Big Red Machine” band participated in
the Jan. 2nd Tournament of Roses
parade in Pasadena California. The
OSTSC proudly supported this trip with a
$1,800.00 donation. Like the Crestview
High ‘Bull Dogs’, though small, the
OSTSC is able to run with the ‘big dogs’!!!
DO YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO
BECOME A CLOWN WITH US?
GUARANTEE A LOT OF LAUGHS AND
FUN!!!!
We meet the third Monday of each
month, 7:00 p.m. in the Clown Unit
room on the second floor of Hadji.
Come join us at our next meeting,
March 19, and check us out!! The
password is “Bones Sent Me”. See you
then Clown Prez Bones,

Dispatch from the
High Priest & Prophet
Hadji
Misfits
By Jess Rhoden
By Morgan Hamm
If you missed the bus trip to the EastWest Shrine Game, you missed a
really fine time. There was grand fun
and fellowship on the trip down and
back. Tailgating was fun. And the stadium was as first class as there is to
be seen. The game was a good one.
By now you may have seen the pictures of the karaoke that took place at
the hotel. Some may never forget it. If
you didn’t participate this year, you
should plan on going next year so you
won’t miss the fun. Thanks to Darrell
and Kathy Mashburn for all the hard
work in putting this together.
Greetings Nobles,
The Misfits and Riders Units hosted our
first 2012 Country Western Dance on
February 4. The C & L Express Band kept
the dance floor busy. We want to thank
Illustrious Sir Dan Bodiford and Lady Lora
for their support along with members,
wives, and friends of the Divan, Antique
Cars, Provost Guard, and of course
Misfits and Riders Units. Please watch
for our next dance on May 12th and bring
you family and friends for a great evening
of music, dancing and socializing.
This years Special Event 2012 is a 50
gun give-a-way. We need everyone’s
help to sell these tickets. They should
be popular and easy to sell because
each ticket is only $20 and gives the
holder 50 chances to win a prize! We
need the help of the Nobles to sell the
outside of the Shrine to your friends,
relatives, and coworkers. We had a
table at the gun show and were successful in selling to people who came
by. This has been a very popular event
at other locations around the country
and should be a winner for Hadji. We
need your help to make it successful.
YOSHI is presenting another of their
dinner and a show this month. This
time it is a redneck wedding called
Podunk Pandemonium. There is a
barbeque dinner and guests are encouraged to dress the part (camo, etc.). It
should be a lot of fun.
As mentioned in our February SEZ article,
each year February is our biggest month
of every year for parades. February 4th
began the Mardi Gras Parade season
with our traditional parade at Westgate
School. This year Hadji Shriners had one
of the best turnouts ever in the
approximate 10 years that Shriners have
participated in this parade. Leading Hadji
was our Potentate Dan Bodiford
chauffeured by Past Potentate Charlie
Batson, in his great looking VW
convertible, followed by members of the
Antique Cars, Clowns, Comics, and
Misfits Units. Needless to say, the
Clowns and Comics stole the show
before what seemed like a thousand
excited and screaming young children.
While this article is written early in
February, we have six remaining Mardi
Gras parades on schedule. Hopefully,
all of the Hadji parade units have
received a copy of the 2012 Hadji Mardi
Gras parade schedule, and are available
to represent our great organization.
It looks like a fun year is shaping up at
Hadji. Our Potentate’s theme of “Celebrating Hadji” certainly sets the tone
for a year of fun.
We hope by the time this article is
published, that Diane Burt, Jim Edenfield
and David Keddy are doing much better.

ANTIQUE
CAR UNIT
By: Red Stewart
We open up this month by saying; we
don’t have a great deal to talk about. We
covered the installation of our officers last
month.
We started out the month of February by
having a working party to get our Mardi
Gras float in presentable condition. We
got together on February 4th and started
the job. There was not a great deal to be
done. Cal Gray had already had the float
taken to his shop and he had the wheel
bearings and lights checked out. I need
to interrupt here and say the unit owes a
thank you to Cal. We store the float at his
house and he looks for it for us. He and
Bob Hill donated the float to the unit years
back. All he asked was that we take care
of it. Sometimes we forget that our friends
and brothers have done for us. So I say
again, a great thanks to you Cal Gray.
Now back to the working party. We rejuvenated the port-a-potty, anchored it back
to the float and it is now usable. This
comes in very handy during the parade.
We had a good turn out of people to do
the work, led by our new leader – John
Hartley. John is a worker, once he shows
up.
We have formed a committee to get work
started on our car show this year. It is
never too early to start. We had a meeting on February 2 nd and covered the
opening work to be done. The date for
the car show this year is going to July 21,
2012. Put this on your calendar and come
out and enjoy it. It seems to be getting
better every year.
I don’t know of any one who is sick at the
present time. We’re all getting older and
can’t jump as high as we used to but we
still try to jump a little.
A group of us attended the country and
western dance put on by the misfits and
riders, February 4th. This the first time I
have been to one of their dances. It was
an enjoyable evening. Everyone seemed
to be having a great time. The band was
very good.
We are going to close by now but saying,
“let’s get out and support Hadji country.
So long from the Old Car folks.

Greetings,
The Shriners Hospitals for children
East West Shrine game was this past
January 21st.
Congratulations to Harold Richardson
and his team for a great job putting on
this game. This was the first year at
Tropicana field in St Petersburg, FL. I
hope this is the beginning of a long
run there, Tropicana Field is a
enclosed dome and a fantastic place
to watch a sporting event, it’s where
the Florida Marlins baseball team play
and not a bad seat in the house. Once
again Hadji had a bus load of nobles
and their ladies spend a week-end of
fun and fellowship, attending the game,
a few discovering their talent for
Karaoke (are maybe not).
One of the highlights of the trip was a
tour of our Tampa hospital; half of our
“Celebrating Hadji”
group had never had an opportunity to
visit a Shrine hospital before. All were
very impressed and moved by the
facilities and the special care given our
kids, its one thing to hear speeches and
talk about the hospitals in meetings, but
it really hits home when you get to see
it up close and personal.
PAGE 9
of the same sadness, we cannot ever
replace these Nobles, their leadership,
their friendship and the memories of
good times shared, but we must
continue on as they did, and would wish
us to.
Your other brother, Darrell
Aka ”Biscuit”
I am very happy to report we saw quiet
a few Hadji Nobles not of our group,
enjoying themselves and supporting the
game, there were guys from Hadji
cooking and serving food at the tailgate
party; they do this every year and I just
want to thank them for doing so.
Hadji is having a spring ceremonial April,
27 & 28 th . As always “we need
candidates”.
Come join us in welcoming new Nobles
to the world’s greatest philanthropy;
where having fun and helping kids is
what we do.

MARCH 2012
History of Hadji Temple – 1985
Hadji Temple is proud of its accomplishments and proud of all of it’s over 2500
members. Prior to receiving a charter for establishing Hadji Temple, most of the
Shriners in Northwest Florida were members of Morocco Temple in Jacksonville.
Historically, Morocco is the mother Temple
of all Shrine Temples in Florida, Georgia and
Alabama.
Morocco Temple was granted a charter
dated March 30, 1888 and was the 42nd
Shrine Temple chartered.
Hadji Temple received its dispensation, with
the cooperation and approval of Morocco
Temple, on July 13, 1967, at 11:10½ a.m. in
Washington, D.C., at the 93rd Imperial Council Session of the Ancient Arabic Order of
the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of North
America. One thousand forty-eight were
involved in the dispensation and great joy
was in the heart of all those who had worked
so hard in the birth of Hadji Temple. Though
there was love and respect held for the
mother Temple of Morocco, the challenge
of building a Temple to serve the 12 Northwest Florida counties was great.
What led up to Northwest Florida having its
own Temple would take too much space to tell
about, but briefly, the idea commenced in 1945
at a meeting of Pensacola Shriners at the San
Carlos Hotel. The ultimate aim of having a Shrine
Temple in Northwest Florida commenced at
the meeting. Although less than 30 were
present, plans were discussed of having a
Shrine Club chartered under Morocco Temple,
which came about; and on June 5, 1945, a charter was granted to Pensacola Shrine Club by
Morocco Temple of Jacksonville. Noble J.A.
Alvarez was appointed to serve as Chairman
or President of the new club for the remainder
of the year 1945. The first elected President
was W.A. “Andy” Hibbert, who served in 1946.
The first Ceremonial in initiate candidates was
held in Pensacola in 1946, and this was the first
time there had ever been a Shrine Ceremonial
in Northwest Florida. Through the years,
Pensacola Shrine Club flourished and, later,
Morocco Temple chartered Panama City Shrine
Club and the Fort Walton Beach shrine Club.
The three Shrine Clubs in Northwest
Florida grew and operated successfully.
Pensacola Shrine Club became Morocco
Temple’s largest Shrine Club and, in later
years, was one of the largest Shrine Clubs
in all of the North America. Many Temples
throughout the United States were represented in the membership of the old Shrine
Club of Morocco Temple in Northwest
Florida.
Over the years, under Morocco Temple, the
three Shrine Clubs in Northwest Florida accomplished much for Shrinedom, no small
accomplishment of which was approximately $50,000 being donated to the
Greenville Unit of the Shrine Hospitals for
Crippled Children.
There was a good bit of talk throughout the
Northwest Florida about ultimately having
a Shrine Temple; and on one occasion prior
to the birth of Hadji, a petition for dispensation to have a Temple in Northwest
Florida located in Pensacola was circulated
and several hundred signatures were obtained, but the effort was not successful
and was dropped. On another occasion, the
Shriners in Panama City made tentative
plans to obtain a Shrine Temple for Northwest Florida located in Panama City, but
this effort was dropped and unsuccessful.
In the Fall of 1966, under the leadership of the
first Potentate of Hadji Temple, J.B. Hopkins,
Pensacola’s Shrine Club membership went to
work to obtain the signing of petitions for
dispensation to have a Temple in Northwest
Florida to be located in Pensacola. Panama
City and Fort Walton Beach Shrine Clubs
membership cooperated and worked. A thousand Shriners, in good standing, were required.
The task, though difficult, was successfully
concluded with 1048 Shriners certified, who
came from 68 different Temple in addition to
Morocco Temple, with 897 Nobles coming
from Morocco and 151 Nobles from the other
67 Temples.
At the granting of Hadji Temple’s dispensation on July 13, 1967, J.B. Hopkins was
then on Morocco Temple’s elected Divan,
where he had served for a number of years
through the appointed Divan Chairs into
the elected Divan. He as the Assistant
Rabban and became Hadji Temple’s first
Potentate, serving through the dispensation year and until the Temple elections in
1969. Hadji Temple’s official charter, following its dispensation year, was granted at
the 94th Imperial Council Session in Chicago, Illinois, on July 11, 1968. The following
were members of Hadji’s first Divan: Potentate J.B. Hopkins; Chief Rabban Ray Henry
Schmidt; Assistant Rabban Preston E.
McArthur; Recorder C. Ed Wood; 1st Ceremonial Master Herbert N. Mizell, Jr.; 2nd
Ceremonial Master Carlos G. Murr; and Captain of the Guard John R. Bray.
Hadji Temple worked hard and prospered
and by January 1, 1985 could proudly claim
a membership of over 4,300 Nobles. During
the preceding two years, with the cooperation of Hadji Temple, a group of Nobles from
Panama City Shrine Club had been collecting signatures on a petition to form a new
Temple.
This effort, which was spearheaded by Hadji
past Potentate W.C. Hales and Divan member Roy M. Bobo, culminated in July 1985
when, during the Imperial Session in Atlanta, dispensation was granted to form a
Temple in Panama City, to be known as
Shaddai. When the dispensation was
granted, Hadji automatically lost 1,000 members and eight counties.
At the present time Hadji has more than
1,500 members and has exclusive jurisdiction over Escambia, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa
and Walton counties with three Shrine
Clubs, Fort Walton Beach Shrine Club, Old
Spanish Trail Shrine Club and Walton
County Shrine Club.
Hadji’s beautiful Mosque is located on 35
landscaped acres at 800 West 9 Mile Road.
We have the facility, we have the Nobility
and we have the will to grow and perpetuate the world’s greatest philanthropy,
Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children. Our
future has never looked brighter.

“Celebrating Hadji”
Show pride in your legacy.
Membership starts here.
For many men, being a Shriner is a family tradition. From
one generation to the next, Shriners have enjoyed a
unique brotherhood and shared in an important mission.
Phase 1 – New Members
The Shriners Legacy Program is a way to show your pride
in being a Shriner and to celebrate your part in the special
brotherhood that comes from membership.
The Shriners Legacy Program is open to any male family
member* related to a Shriner, including:
• Fathers • Grandfathers • Brothers
• Sons
• Grandsons
• Nephews
• Uncles
• In-laws
Be a part of special Legacy events.
Temples will be encouraged to host Legacy nights to
honor members of the program. Legacy members in all
generations will be invited to participate in a variety of
fun events and activities with their family members and
fellow nobles.
Wear your Legacy pin with pride.
To show our gratitude for you and your
family continuing the Shriners legacy,
Shriners International has designed
an elegant gold pin that showcases
your pride in your Shriners heritage.
The Shriners Legacy pin will become
available in two phases.
Shriners International will provide new members of the
fraternity with complimentary Legacy Program pins if
they meet the following criteria:
• The member must have joined after October 17, 2011.
• He must also be a part of a Shriners legacy, meaning that
one or more of his relatives (either living or deceased)
is/was a Shriner.
New members will also need to fill out a Legacy
Program application at www.shrinersvillage.com. Upon
review and acceptance of the application he will receive
a complimentary pin for himself, and a pin for up to two
additional Shriners Legacy family members who have
signed his petition.
Phase 2 – Existing Legacies
Beginning January 1, 2012 the Legacy Program Pin will
become available to current Shriners who are part of a legacy
for a $5 contribution†. While all Shriner family members
may purchase a pin, each member must fill out a separate
application at www.shrinersvillage.com. The application for
current members will be available online January 1, 2012.
Shriners International appreciates your role in
building and continuing its legacy. For more
information about the Shriners Legacy Program
please visit www.shrinersvillage.com
*If your family member is a deceased Shriner you will still be eligible to be part of the program.

Shriner’s Hospitals for Children
Begins Annual Burn Prevention Campaign
Monday, January 23, 2012
2012 safety campaign focuses on teaching children and families to Be Burn Aware, especially at home
(TAMPA, Fla.) Feb. 5-11, 2012 is Burn Awareness Week, and during this week, shriner’s Hospitals for Children® will begin its
annual burn prevention campaign. This year’s focus is on teaching children to “Be Burn Aware,” especially at home. Information
and materials pertaining to the effort can be found on the health care system’s website dedicated to burn awareness and
prevention, www.burnawareness.org.
Homes are the sites of thousands of burn injuries to children every year, including
scalds and fire-related injuries. Many of these incidents could have been easily
prevented by following and implementing some basic safety tips.
“At shriner’s Hospitals for Children, preventing burn injuries and providing burn awareness education is an ongoing, yearlong effort,” said Peter Armstrong, M.D., chief
medical officer, shriner’s Hospitals for Children. “In 2012, our campaign, ‘Be Burn
Aware,’ focuses on teaching children ways to avoid burn injuries at home.”
The campaign introduces two new child-friendly characters who showcase and share
our messages: Boots and Brewster – a caped, cuddly bear and a googly-eyed
teapot. In the materials, the pair leads children through the various rooms of a
house, pointing out dangers, and how to easily correct or avoid them.
Previous years’ efforts have emphasized prevention of gasoline and gasoline-related
burn and scald injuries.
Shriner’s Hospitals for Children encourages everyone concerned with keeping children safe to visit www.burnawareness.org for important burn prevention tips and
information on how to order the free materials, which are available in both English
and Spanish.
