Scimitar Shrine

The last few months the Nobles of Scimitar, their La-
dies, Divan, and myself have been busy with member-
ship and relations with the Grand Lodge of Arkansas. In
June we had a Grand Masters Reception with over 80
people in attendance and most recently held a Ceremo-
nial at the Scottish Rite Building with over 130 in at-
tendance. These events were orchestrated by a few tal-
ented people and the Scimitar Board of Directors
thanks them for all their hard work.
In July, many of us attended the 152nd Imperial
Session held in Tampa Florida. The weather was perfect
and we even got some beach time in. Just a few shorts
weeks ago, Illustrious Sir's John Robinson, Charles
Thomas, Lady Ruth, and myself traveled to Davenport
IA for CSSA. Again, the weather was perfect and we
enjoyed seeing old friends, the competitions, and the
parade. If you've never attended, its a must on your to
do list.
On September 25-27 we will be having the Poten-
tates Ball weekend at the Aloft Hotel in Little Rock. We
plan to have the Hillbilly Degree, Water Buffalo De-
gree, and maybe a few other degrees with the Ball be-
ing held on Saturday Night. Lady Krista and I look for-
ward to seeing you all there for our last big event. We
also have the Golf at the Rock Tournament on Saturday
Sept 12th and look forward to seeing you there as well.
I have been truly blessed to be the Potentate of
Scimitar and its been an amazing year for our Organi-
zation. I thank each one of you for all your hard work
and dedication to bringing our membership back above
water and organizing the events that keep us moving
forward. Keep up the great work Nobles and Ladies!
Yours in Faith,
