Just finished our Stated Meeting last night and have a lot of things to cover.
First was a very successful Potentate’s Ball 3/2/24. There were lots of guests from other Temples, family of the Potentate, and Nobles from Maskat. The food was very impressive and covered every taste profile you could imagine. The band was good but our own In House “Dictations” stole the show. Out of retirement after 10 years. You guys made the night. If you didn’t make it you missed a great time. Thanks!!!
Our Super Bowl Party was 2/11/24 and was a fun time. Tons of food, with some Griffin brisket. Lots of Boards and door prizes. Oh yea it was a good game as well. Thanks Mat Spradlin for getting this put together and even more all the Nobles and their
ladies for actually making this happen as we were at Divan Midwinter. GOOD TIME.
Need to say just a little abour our OG Trip. We loaded the bus with wheels up at 4pm (remember Chip). Good hospital tour, two days of golf, some Hooters chicken wings, the annual donation to the casino, and a lot of fellowship. Again if you missed this you missed a Great Time. Mark Patterson showed us how to play the slot machines!!
Upcoming events – our Easter Egg Hunt is upcoming March 30th at the Shrine Land on Hatton Road. Hamburgers and Dogs with chips at noon, then we will turn the kiddos loose on the eggs. This is a fun event for all and open to all your family and friends. Lets invite some folks and show them all a good time.
Jerry Sloan is putting on another High Tea at the Temple April 6th. Tickets are for sale in the Temple office or call Jerry. This money is going back to the Temple. Again this is an open event. There are 20 tables of 8 available. Last year was completely full and expect the same this year. By the way this one is a Texas High Tea. I’ve seen the menu and promise you will be impressed. There will be some Champagne for those of age, again. This is fun, please call. THIS IS FOR THE LADIES.
Our Potentate is having a Past Potentate Dinner 4/13/24 at the Temple. There will be 3 Patient Ambassadors speaking. This is open to all Nobles and Public. A chance to show the community what we do. Should be a fun event. Call office for tickets and details.
Our Shrine Golf Tournament will be May 3rd at River Creek Golf Course, 1 pm shotgun start. Call the office to enter a team and any other details. Gordy Antill is chairing this event, AGAIN!! Let’s fill this up, proceeds going to Maskat Temple.
By the time you read this, the Daughters of the Nile will have installed their new Queen, Jackie Phillips. We want to wish Queen Jackie all the success in the world. Divan has plans to attend this upcoming Saturday the 16th. Good luck Jackie!!
We had 43 Nobles in attendance last night at Stated Meeting with a very good dinner by the Cooking Unit. Our next meeting will be April 9th, please make plans to attend.
