Es Selamu Aleikum<br />
For those of you that remember, we started the year on a fast track, and ironically<br />
we will end Nobles, the year Ladies almost and the Friends: same way. How so? A gazillion Christmas parties to<br />
try to attend. Aside from all of the <strong>December</strong> frivolity and festivity, Lady Barbara and<br />
I would like to say, Thank You for all the gracious hospitality shown to us at your Unit<br />
and Club meetings, plus every affair that we attended. We would like to applaud all<br />
of the Nobles and their Ladies for all of your hard work on every project <strong>Rajah</strong> had<br />
this year.<br />
You made being your Potentate and First Lady an absolute pleasure for us. Thank<br />
you again for this privilege. My only hope and wanted desire is that I have honored<br />
<strong>Rajah</strong> and respected that for which this fraternity was built.<br />
I believe that <strong>Rajah</strong> is an excellent tool to make good men better. I commend you all for doing this day in and day out. We have<br />
to work together in building our membership, to maintain our fraternity and keep the name Shriners on top of our hospitals. We<br />
still have an opportunity to turn more brothers into Shriners at our Full Dress Ceremonial, <strong>December</strong> 10. We have one last push to<br />
continue to increase our membership this year for <strong>Rajah</strong>. Lets go for it!<br />
Lady Barbara and I can not find enough words to thank our Chief Aide, Bryan Snyder, and his Lady, Judithanne, for all they<br />
have done for us and how tastefully they handled everything, along with the committee heads and the rest of their committees, and<br />
of course the rest of our Aides and their Ladies<br />
Again thank you all so very much. I hope all of you feel the way we do, that Shriners are the greatest friends one could have.<br />
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and good luck to incoming Potentate Dave Evans and Lady Sarah.<br />
And The Beat Goes On 4 R Kids!<br />
Yours in the faith,<br />
Lawrence S. Bortz, III<br />
Illustrious Potentate<br />
