Omar Temple 111<br />
Daughters of the Nile<br />
by P.Q. Audrey J. Stubbs<br />
Message from Queen Lucy Hesse<br />
Twenty-nine members of Daughters of the Nile and four Nobles have arrived home from<br />
Tampa, FL from our 95th annual Supreme Session. The weather was extremely hot-110F<br />
plus humidity, so all were thankful for air conditioning. The business sessions breezed by<br />
with two mentionable moments. This year the <strong>Shriners</strong> will treat their one millionth patient. What an<br />
accomplishment! Also, the Daughters of the Nile have given over forty-seven million dollars for the <strong>Shriners</strong><br />
Treasured children. The highlight of the week was Thursday night installation. Supreme Queen Laura<br />
Richardson entered the arena as Queen of the Nile, in full regalia, reclining on a white chaise lounge, on a<br />
treasure ship manned by many slaves. Quite an<br />
entrance. After removing her garb, she was dressed in a<br />
long, flowing, dark green gown. All her reigning queens<br />
were dressed in either blue or green. I wish to thank all<br />
members of Omar who attended for looking out for me<br />
and helping me in any way. It truly was appreciated. This<br />
was a week I will never forget!<br />
