PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – Dear Ladies and Nobles, I would like to thank everyone who was able to come to the Installation of Club Officers. We all were treated to
be served by the DeMolay young men and the Rainbow young ladies, and the associate advisors from the two groups. All the dinners were served in a remarkable 20
minutes. Big thanks to both groups for an excellent job! Some of the remarks for the DeMolay were given by PGM Michael A. Padron Jr., and the Rainbow was Darlyne
Devany; both gave their comments. The dinner was prepared by returning Chef Dave Hoskins, who did a great job, and said that he would help again for special dinners.
My biggest thanks belong to my wife, Lady Mary Jean, for planning out this special night. Past President Dennis Koranda gave out awards to several Nobles for their
work and achievements. For the fifth year, we crowned the Egypt Shrine Oriental Guide with his “Redheaded Step Child of the Highlands Shrine Club Award” (his orb),
which he will be able to suck-up all of his upper management personnel.
Ill. Sir Luther G. Baker Jr. gave his closing comments, and now we start another year with efforts placed on getting new Egypt members.
Yours in Faith, Noble Mike Byers
