``We Fly High For Our Kids``
Let’s Spread Our Wings in 24
As the Potentate of Rameses Shriners, I would like to thank all the Volunteers who helped at the Niagara Falls Spring Ceremonial to make it a success in June, and to Noble David Gillies, my Director General thank you. Congratulations to all the New Nobles who were initiated and I hope you will join a Club or a Unit for that Fun and Fellowship and continue to support our Philanthropy. We raised a lot of money during the Parade of Cheques to support our Kids in our Shriners Hospital for Children – Canada, Montreal. My only regret is that our Chariot did not show up for the Parade in Niagara Falls. Thanks to all the Nobles who Participated in the Parade and thanks to all the Nobles and their Ladies who attended our Ceremonial in Niagara Falls.
My Congratulations to all the Nobles Elected and Appointed to Grand Lodge Office, especially our own, Noble Art M. Di Cecco as Deputy Grand Master, Noble Reddy Sampath for being elected to District Deputy Grand Master, Illustrious Sir Shawn Hewlett as Grand Junior Warden, Noble David Spencer as Grand Chaplain and Noble Peter Sialtsis on the Board of General Purpose.
On June 20, 2024, we attended the BBQ at Noble Creight Taylor’s home in Owen Sound.
I would like to extend my appreciation to all the Nobles and their Ladies who travelled long distances to be with us in Reno, Nevada, for our 150th Imperial Session. I would like to thank the Founders for taking out my Chariot in their new Trailer.
Special Thanks are extended to First Lady Elizabeth for organizing a Ladies Luncheon with a Bus Tour to Lake Tahoe and Nobles Drew Ward, Doug Griffin and Randy Ling for helping out the Ladies.
The Night Parade was well attended by the public and we all had a wonderful time. Rameses Welcome Reception was another success.
We were introduced to our two Patient Ambassadors and took photos with them. The new Imperial Potentate introduced his Family, including Imperial First Lady.
In July I was Invited by our Grand Master, to the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario Session in Toronto. Took several photos with the new Grand Master, and other Officers.

We then proceeded to attend the Potentate’s Trip, “Danube Dreams” We all had a great time on the Avalon River Cruise which started in Prague with several countries ending in Budapest. I like to remind you to please attend all your local Club activities and various functions, including our Fall Ceremonial. An invitation is extended to all for our Hawaiian Night on Saturday, November 16, 2024.
