 “Always Faithful in Helping Kids” in 2008

Nobles,

    First let me say congratulations to all newly elected officers for the Year 2008.  I, myself want to say “Thank You” for allowing me the opportunity in being elected as your Potentate.  Assuming this title is an honor and a priviledge, not only for myself, but for all officers elected because you the Nobles have acknowledged your faith in us.  That alone states that we have displayed certain traits and qualities that gained their trust.  Furthermore, our fellow Nobles have placed upon you and me to lead them in the coming year.

    For the Year 2008, our main emphasis will be placed on MEMBERSHIP.  Beyond our outer doors stands men of good character with ---- morales and values that not only Shrinedom can reap from, but --- Masonry, our first and foremost fraternity requires of all good men to ensure the future of our order.  We all have someone in mind to invite, though we are reluctant to go that one step further.  Every Shriner is a Mason first!  Why shouldn’t we invite those men wandering outside our outer door to join us?  The answer rest within you.  I encourage every Noble to step forward and take the challenge to build Shrinedom.  Let’s set the pace for the future in order that what we can continue to help those children less fortunate to benefit from our selflessness in giving and our love for Shrinedom.

    To all the Nobles of Al Sihah Shrine Temple I want to express my sincere thanks for allowing me the opportunity to serve as your Potentate for 2008 and Lady Sharon as your First Lady.  Let’s all have fun in 2008 by helping those less fortunate – Our Children!

Semper Fi!
