Nobles and Ladies All:

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you as Potentate in 2021. I would like to welcome our new Oriental Guide Tim Callahan and his Lady Gayle and our new Treasurer Ken Harper and his Lady Belinda. Becoming a Mason-Shriner was one of the best decisions I ever made. It has afforded me an opportunity to work and have FUN with some of the best men and women I have ever met. You have donated your Time, Talents, Means and Vocation for the betterment of the Shrine Center and our Philanthropy Shiners Hospital for Children. To this is what makes a Shriner special. As we go into the New Year, I want to emphasize on Family, Fun and Fellowship. Come join the Fun as we work to move our Shrine Center forward. Your thoughts and ideas to making our endeavors more Fun is important to us, please share them and get involved.

Yours in Faith,
Walter “Tony” Bowling
