Pote’s Message

 
February 2010…..
 
WOW, what a way to start off the New Year!! Some of you were aware that I had surgery and was in the hospital for a few days. I am now at home recovering and doing well. Thank you all for the cards, visits and phone calls checking up on me. During this time, Legion of Honor Commander Fred Roland and Ill Sir Ed Burke had to deal with their own medical issues in the hospital and I wish them all a full and speedy recovery.
 
Introduction to Officers on January 16th was a huge success. Once again, Lady Carey and I would like to thank the Chairman Mark Cuomo, Lady Debbie and their committee, for a wonderful evening. There were over 120 guests, the food from Immediato’s Catering was awesome and the DJ was enjoyable for all. There is still some controversy as to which group ended the evening’s event; however everyone appeared to have a great time. In addition, we brought in 3 new Nobles that evening, including Grand Master - Most Worshipful James E. Willey, Jr., Deputy Grand Master – Right Worshipful John E. Bednash and Noble Jim Hite. Welcome all and the best advice I can give to each of you is to get involve with a Unit or Club to get the most out of your experience with the Shrine.
 
During my ‘Siesta” in the hospital, we had our coin show from January 21st to 23rd. Lady Carey and I wanted to thank the Chairman George Cowan, Lady Georgia and their committee for a wonderful event that they put on. Throughout that weekend, we kept in contact and heard that the place was hopping with people and the concession stand was busy. The Fundraiser was a success, and I thank all who attended and participated.
 
February for the most part is a quiet month at the shrine, noting that units and clubs do have regularly scheduled meetings on their calendars. We do however have two major events taking place. The first event is on February 16, 2010, the NUR Special Election meeting. The start time is 6:30 pm. It is my hope to a large turn out for this meeting, it is a special election. The second event is on February 20th, The Yacht Club’s Commodore’s Ball. Lady Carey and I are planning on being in attendance and we are looking forward to seeing all our friends for a weekend of fun and fellowship.
 
March is going to be a busier month, so get your rest because you will need it. Remember, don’t forget to come out and be apart of YOUR Shrine Center.
 
China may be a bit too far to go see Panda Bears, so I guess I can settle for a visit to the San Diego Zoo…..
 
Respectfully Written,
