Potentate’s Message
I L L U S T R I O U S S I R T H O M A S W. W O O D R OW - P OT E N TAT E
I
thank you all for allowing me to be your Potentate for 2018. I will do my very best to make
myself available to hear your comments, concerns and suggestions.
But first, I must congratulate Illustrious Sir Dave Rawn and Lady Edith on a very successful
year. Both Lady Linda and I have been working with Dave and Edith for the last 6 years. I know
that they will be there for us, going forward. All the best to each of you.
I would also like to congratulate both Noble Don Campbell and Noble Joe Johnson for each
running very good campaigns. Unfortunately there can only be one winner. It is important to
recognize the efforts of Joe Johnson, who campaigned and also tended to our Papyrus.
In my speech, I said that leadership is not about getting Nobles to follow you, but rather to get
Nobles to join you. It is said that we are stronger when we are united, than divided.
It’s true our membership has been declining over the years. I looked back 100 years ago. In 1918
we had 259,113 members. Over those years we blossomed to 900,000 at one point. Today we are
less than 250,000. In 1918 we had no hospitals and we didn’t help kids. Today we operate 22
hospitals and have helped over 1.2 million children and counting. Wow, that is some kind of legacy.
It all happened through the leadership and support of Nobles like you.
Lately, some of our Nobles have been bantering, rather than working for our children. In 2017,
we had 4 Presidents resign from Clubs. This must cease. When you are sworn in as President, there
is an obligation that you take. I fear some Nobles have forgotten this. In the 1st degree you are
told, that “you are never to put on that badge should you be about to visit a Lodge where there is
a Brother with whom you are at variance or towards whom you entertain feelings of animosity”.
Come together, you have in the past and you will again in the future.
At Rameses, there is much to be proud of; we are the largest Shrine Centre in Canada. Of all 196
Temples in Shrines International, we are the 15th largest. At one time, on a per capita, we
contributed more money to our hospitals than any other Temple.
In 2018, all your Divan asks is to have each Club and Unit try to bring in
at least 1 or 2 new Nobles. In the past we used to say “to be one, ask one.”
In the 21st century we must say “ask one to be one.”

ell Nobles, El Shamaly has been out and about attending
Christmas parades. El Shamaly Shrine Club received
many thank you letters from the towns and cities we
paraded in for the Christmas season. We had a great Christmas Cake
sale and one of our Nobles sold 68 cakes. Not bad for an eighty-five
year old. Our members only come from active Shriners and a Masonic Lodge.
A Shriner said, “Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill Put a notice on bulletin boards, stand up in Lodge and say I am a proud
and a laxative on the same night.” Shriner. Ask other Nobles to stand and be recognized. Explain that in

Remember Nobles, our doors are always open to those who are
looking for a rewarding Shriner Experience.
Regardless of the weather, our “Little Red Caboose” allows us to
participate in Parades all over our jurisdiction, in comfort and
enjoyment, rain and shine, snow or sleet, nothing will stop our
dedication to raising funds for the children we serve.
Our resolve is paramount in this regard, as should be yours.
For this reason, we invite everyone and anyone to close ranks with
our Club towards this mutual goal of support and fraternity, regardless
of age, location, weather or income, we have something to provide,
and El Shamaly hopes that we can be your place to practice those
precepts, ever inculcated within ourselves. We want to be the home to
anyone looking to practice the principles of our Shrine, and those of
brotherly love, relief and truth.
A Shriner’s wife went to the Doctor. He said, “How is your
headache?” She said, “He is out of town.”
Our immediate Past President, Noble Brian Stapley was presented
with the First Phase Samsar Jewel for sponsoring 4 Nobles on The Rolls
of Rameses Shriners. The jewel is a beautiful Shrine logo on a 3-colour
ribbon that fits around the neck. Something to be proud to wear.
