Dear Fellow Nobles,

When I became a Shriner in 2016, I wanted to participate in the mission of improving the lives of children and never expected to one day be serving at the national level. I am deeply grateful for the incredible opportunity to serve as your Potentate for 2025. It is one of the highlights of my life and I pledge to do my best to make Mabuhay Shriners stronger.

We join the Shriners for fun and fellowship and we provide vital healthcare for children. Truly, serving others is the spirit that is foremost in our organization; it is the foundation of our fraternity.

We shall continue to walk the extra mile. We shall share not only material possessions, but also our time, talent and ourselves. We shall relentlessly advocate, promote and highlight the Shriners’ tradition of fraternity, fellowship and philanthropy. This is the kind of brotherhood that binds us together by a mystic ties as good man desiring to be better. As Masons and as Shriners, it is incumbent upon us to dedicate ourselves for service and charity, without expecting anything in return.

We must roll up our sleeves and work on Club and Temple projects because nothing creates fellowship more than working together with fellow Nobles.

As we begin the 1^st Quarter of the Shrine Year, our thoughts shall turn to ensuring a strong finish. Ideally, our goal has been to make our clubs and the Temple stronger than it was at the beginning of the year.

Let us help those who need us most.
