It’s a Grand Ole Event
Many thanks to AMARA Shrine, and Potentate Ill Mark Higgs, for securing the Boca Shrine Club’s facility where the 2022 District 25 Grand Masters Official Visit took place on Saturday September 17. Ill William Garrison and Lady Lanie were instrumental in setting up the ballroom… Thank you so much.
District 25 made a great showing, presenting the Grand Master with four Honorary Perpetual Memberships. Thanks to the Eastern Star for their participation in Sweet Tooth Saturday (First Lady’s Charity Event), and to the Boy Scouts for their super excellent services.
The Palm Beach County Honor Guard performed a perfect flag ceremony, and Joel Miller’s “Toast to the Flag” was ineffable. W:. J. Scott Carnegie snapped many great photos, and lead us in opening and closing prayer filling in for our Grand Chaplain Right Reverend Mangum. R:.W:. Roy Strohacker delivered a wonderful welcome speech, and Lady Carolyn made the sweetest sugar free cake for dessert.
Thanks to the logistics team, Karen Badger, Maria Price, Reba Camer and Dora Molina without whom we would have been lost in space… Will Robinson.
James Wooster’s sound system was flawless because it’s pro gear, thanks man. Three raps for the kitchen crew… Junior Warden Ken Camer, and Honorary BYKOTA member Scott Parish were superb. Rosier Badger and Brian Price rounded off the kitchen crew with their special talent. A super shout-out to Len Morreale and his Lady for their kitchen expertise.
