Potentate’s Message
I just want to say Wow, what a great year we are having! Please come out and support our events and
make them even greater. I know that it is easy to let things get away from you and forget about what is
happening at the shrine, but I ask that each of you carve out some time to spend at an event or two this
May and June. You can make things happen at this temple if you want. If we are not doing anything that
interest you then let me know what you would like to see go on and maybe we can set something up
that will be more in line with those interest.
We have several events going on over the next two months. We have Vidalia onion sells, Merri-Makers
Sock Hop, LOSNA Grand Council Meeting in KC. and the Potentate’s Ball all in May.
In June we have the Mini Kar BBQ Dinner, the India Potentate’s Ball,
Fireworks Stand, and the beginning of the 151st Imperial Session in
Atlanta GA. We will need help with the Fireworks stand this year as
Harold and Doug will both be going to Atlanta that week. Please reach
out and let us know if you can help.
We had a good turnout for our Spring Ceremonial and so far, this year
we have 9 new Nobles in our temple. That is a great start, but I ask that
you get out there and visit we people and recruit someone to come to
the shrine. The only way we continue to grow in through your efforts.
Come out to shrine events and participate. Most importantly, we are
much stronger when we work together to make things happen.
I hope that everyone can make it to the Potentate’s Ball on May 31st
.
The Ball will be held at the temple this year and the cost will be $50.00
per person. We will have the Ice Breaker social on Friday night and the Ball will start at 6:00 p.m. on
Saturday. We are currently checking into hotels in the area where we can shuttle folks back and forth as
needed.
Strive to Thrive in 2025!!!
Yours in Hope and Faith,
Bobby Benn, Potentate
