Dear Nobles:
At the beginning of 1972, we began to use the slogan “TO GETHER— WE CAN MAKE SHRINE GREATER.”
During 1972, we have begun construction of our new Mosque Building; we have had excellent attendance at both the Imperial and the Southeastern Conventions; we have increased our annual contribution to the Shrine Crippled Children’s Hospitals and Burn Institute; we have had an excellent year at the Shrine School for Handicapped Children; we had the biggest Circus in our history; and it appears that membership will exceed 400 new members for the first time in 20 years.
It would appear that the slogan adopted was the proper one, it being apparent that the above was accomplished through the ef forts of our entire membership. Let us continue to work together and we will continue to MAKE SHRINE GREATER.
Deanie and I appreciate the continued cooperation given us and we will always cherish the many friends we have acquired. It’s been great. Thank you.
