Letter from the President
2016 Dixie Shrine Association
As we all know, the Dixie Shrine Association has been under construction this year
having lost 180 rooms, banquet rooms and meeting rooms. From the depth of our heart
we apologize for the inconvenience created for your Temples Units and Groups.
Along the way we have been able to create better communication with all the Temples
with our web site allowing all the information, registration forms, bylaws, Temple
addresses and email addresses along with an online booklet for your convenience. The
website will continue for years to come and will help future officers as they serve as your
President.
The City of Panama City Beach has been very helpful by allowing the use of the Senior
Center for some of our Competition, Meetings and Clown Banquet along with working
with us at the Frank Brown Center for Competition and as always the Parade on
Saturday.
I would like to personally Thank my wife Claudette for all her hard work and support
along with Mike and Shirlion Odom and Ron and “Baby” Baas for the many things they
do to continue making Dixie be the best it could be each year.
Again to everyone for all your support to me this year and for your support of the Dixie
Shrine Association we Thank You.
Yours in the Faith
Sam Butler
