We have had so many activities at Sahib during that time span. Time is flying and we have so much still to accomplish! Activities will slow down for the next few months, but we are planning a busy Fall season for all of you Sahib Nobles. Watch the calendar and you won’t miss our activities. Our October ceremonial will be on October 12 and 13; please try to attend if you can, and help make this a memorable occasion for the candidates. Many thanks to our First Ceremonial Master Konstantin Chelnokov and Oriental Guide Keith Curtis for all the work that they are doing, and of course, their ladies. On Friday evening, under the direction of Ritual Team Director Ed Firquin, the cast will present an outstanding performance for us. On Saturday, we will have our parade at the temple. Almost all of the units and clubs will be represented. We want to thank everyone in advance for being supportive of your temple. Let us not forget the Moslem feast put on by our Cabiri, and the ladies luncheon hosted by our Divan ladies with help from our Sahib kitchen. Last, but not least, thanks to all who will make this a memorable day. The Imperial Session in Daytona Beach was successful and is being reported elsewhere in the Reporter. This Imperial Session was very important, as discussions about the future of our hospitals was decided. I want to personally thank all of the unit and club heads, committee heads, and our Cabiri for helping make the first half of 2018 a success; and a special thank you to all you dedicated nobles who are behind the scenes helping to make things happen. Our entire Divan is excited and planning our second half of the year. Come and enjoy our great Sahib Shriner activities. During the second half of 2018, let’s work diligently at establishing a sound membership program. It is vital for the long-term success for Sahib that we do! Until next month, be kind to one another. Yours faithfully, Delbert Rawlinson Sahib Shriners Potentate 2018 4 SAHIB REPORTER
