New Hamasa Shriners officers installed

Hamasa Shriners celebrated a new year by installing Divan Officers for 2008 on Jan. 15. The Divan presides over business and activities of the Hamasa organization with the Potentate as the chief officer. Hamasa Shriners is a division of the Shriners of North America chartered June 14, 1893 with its headquarters in Meridian.

The Hamasa territory encompasses thirty-one counties in the Northeastern section of Mississippi with seventeen Shrine Clubs and eleven Shrine Units.

Shriners Hospitals for Children is a one-of-a-kind international health care system of 22 hospitals dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing pediatric specialty care, innovative research and outstanding teaching programs. Children up to age 18 with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate are eligible for care and receive all services in a family-centered environment at no charge — regardless of financial need.

Shriners of North America is an international fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. There are approximately 375,000 members from 191 temples (chapters) in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Republic of Panama. For more information, visit www.shrinershq.org.
