I hope you all enjoyed our February edition of the Papyrus.

I would like to Congratulate all the Club and Unit Executives on your Installations, in accepting these very Important Leadership Positions and your dedication to our cause is truly inspiring. We must continue to support and protect our way of Life, our Philanthropy, and all the Children in our Shriners Hospital. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the Clubs, Units and Nobles for your very generous donations to the Shrine Hospital for Children, Rameses Transportation Fund and Rameses Shriners. You have shown me the hard work and dedication you possess; it truly is amazing and you are protection for our Future.

I have met with numerous Master Masons at your Ceremonies and they are now our Candidates for our June Ceremonial in Niagara Falls. Please keep up the Great Work. I mentioned to the brethren that we are Masons First and Shriners Second with only one goal, our Children in our Shriners Hospitals for Children. Nobles I made it very clear, when you need me, I will be there for you.

Nobles, I am now asking you, to please order my Potentate’s Special Blend Coffee and Tea, I spent many years in perfecting it for your enjoyment. Please include it with your Chocolate, Cookies and now your Vidalia Onion Fundraiser. This is a great fundraiser for all our Clubs.

I would like to remind you again, that all donations to the hospital should go through our Headquarters so that they can be recorded by Rameses Shriners before being sent to the Hospital.

On my trips I have received many generous Donations from the Clubs and Units and I am always overwhelmed by your generosity and kindness to the Shriners Hospital for Children, Rameses Transportation Fund and Rameses Shriners. Your contribution plays a vital role in supporting our mission and helping us provide life-changing care for our children in need. Your Generosity has a direct and a meaningful impact on the lives of our children and families who rely on our service and care provided by the Shriners Hospitals. I have mentioned to you many times that my own granddaughter is a Shriners Patient, on May 28, she is graduating from Dalhousie University.

Lady Elizabeth and I have been very busy in our travels to your Clubs and Unit Installation Ceremonies in snow storms, white outs and in Fog and I would extend our appreciation to all the Divan and Appointed Nobles and Ladies that came with us.  I look forward to seeing you in the near future and personally thank you for all the good work you are all doing.
