Potentate Message

Potentate Message December 2013

Nobles & Ladies, It was a pleasure to welcome the Grand Master, M.W. Bradley S. Rickelman to the October Business meeting. He discussed the Arkansas issue and re-emphasized the great relationship that all Oklahoma Shriners have with our Grand Lodge. He also spoke about how we as Master Masons are to live our lives, to be better husbands, fathers, and sons; to be the outstanding citizens of our communities. As his year is coming to an end, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude, thanks, and congratulations on a most successful year. We had a great Fall Ceremonial with 13 new Nobles.
