Building Dreams, One Child at a Time.

It is a real honor to have been given the trust and support by our Nobles to serve as Potentate of the El Zaribah Shriners for 2017. This year, like most, will find our Shriners very active in keeping El Zaribah one of the premier Shrine Temples in the world. The units, clubs, and ladies that are part of El Zaribah work very hard to maintain the level of professionalism we are known for, in taking care of our hospitals, as well as keeping true to our Shriners moto, “Fun, Fraternity, Philanthropy!”

This coming year we will face some challenges with our El Zaribah Temple and Shrine Family. We must all make membership our top priority! It seems to be a struggle getting and keeping new Shriners into our Fraternity, but we must continue working on this. I believe showing all the great Masons in our jurisdiction how much fun and fellowship we have is the key. If they see us having the good times that we have, they will follow. As our Membership Chairman says, “Selling the Shrine is easy…it sells itself!”

This year we will be doing some new programs, participating in some new parades, some new ideas for Stated Meetings, and maybe some other surprises. Lady Cindy and I are very excited about the upcoming year, and want you to be, also. Let’s have some Fun!

‘Building Dreams, One Child at a Time’ is the theme for 2017.

A dream is the vehicle that your life is driven by.

We have built, delivered, and watched thousands of children’s dreams come true for almost a century now. And with your support and hard work, we will maintain the road that El Zaribah is on for our continued success…now and in the future.

Yours in Faith,
Randy Peters
Potentate 2017
