Lady Tracy and I are humbled and honored to have been chosen to serve as<br />
your <strong>2017</strong> Potentate and First Lady. We are thankful to have a Temple that<br />
is so strong and has such great members and ladies. Our heartfelt thanks go<br />
out to all of the nobles and ladies that have served and helped with the many<br />
events and functions we have had this year. We could not have done it without<br />
you and the support of everyone that participated and contributed their<br />
time and talent. We wish Al Menah much success in the future and pledge our<br />
support in keeping Al Menah the best Temple in all of Shrinedom.<br />
Last month was full of many events and functions. The Ladies Extravaganza<br />
was a huge success and raised $9,000.00. Thanks to Bill Chaussee<br />
and Lady Janice for chairing the event and all those that worked so hard to<br />
make it successful. Also last month we honored our Veterans by participating<br />
in the Hendersonville Veterans and Nashville Veterans Day Parades and<br />
we thank all who serve and have served in our Military. May God continue<br />
to bless each of you. Additionally, we honored our Hospital Drivers at the<br />
Annual Drivers Dinner. We can’t thank these men enough for all they do<br />
in making sure our children are well cared for as we transport them to and<br />
from our Hospitals. A special thanks to Billy Cullen for his continued dedication<br />
as our Transportation Chairman and congratulations to Noble Everett<br />
Vanhooser for being awarded Driver of the Year.<br />
Parade season is upon us, beginning last month with our first Christmas<br />
Parade in Springfield. Although the weather was a little threatening, we still<br />
had a great turn out and enjoyed a wonderful hospitality provided by the<br />
Robertson County Shrine Club.<br />
This month is even busier with the hustle and bustle of Christmas Parties<br />
and Parades. Be sure and get those machines and floats shined up for the<br />
parades and put on your best attire for the parties and come out and have<br />
fun and fellowship during this joyous time of year. We look forward to<br />
seeing everyone at these events.<br />
Our annual Patient Christmas Party is Sunday Dec. 17th at 2:00 PM.<br />
You won’t want to miss this opportunity to visit with our Shrine patients<br />
and their families. Please remember that this party is for our Shrine patients<br />
only and not our children. It’s a pleasure to see these children enjoy<br />
the afternoon with Santa, Clowns and some early Christmas presents.<br />
Lady Tracy and I wish each and every one of you a Very Merry Christmas<br />
and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!<br />
Yours in the Faith,<br />
Frank Hester<br />
