Al Sihah Shriners

“Soar Like An Eagle ” in 2009

I am truly honored to have been elected as your Potentate for the year 2009. It is with great pride that I accept the responsibility of this position. I am very appreciative of your ongoing confidence, and I and Sherry pledge we will do whatever we can to make this year enjoyable for you and your families. We are truly honored to have so many friends here at Al Sihah Shrine Temple.

I also want to express my appreciation for your election of the other officers. I have had the pleasure to serve with them the last four years, and I know they have your best interest at heart and will work equally hard to make this year greatly successful for you and our beloved Al Sihah Shrine Temple.

Our overall theme this year will be one of "Teamwork." I have chosen the Eagle clutching the words "Team Al Sihah 2009, Soaring Like An Eagle" which best describes what we are all about, for as the wind under the Eagle's wings lifts it to the highest heights, so will all of us working together lift this Temple to new heights. Al Sihah Shrine Temple is truly a place where "Eagles" flock.

The year 2009 will provide us with some definite challenges, but by continuing to work together we can overcome any difficulties. Our goal as members of the
Divan and your leadership is to work with you to insure our ongoing success. In spite of the challenges 2009 brings us, we will remain faithful to our overall vision of "Having Fun and Helping Kids." This is what being a Shriner and Shrine Lady is all about.

Thanking you again for your support, and as always "Happy Trails, and may the good Lord take a liken to you." I am fraternally

George Thompson
