P O T E N TAT E M E S S A G E
Gentlemen, our first ceremonial for 2021 will be held Saturday, April 3, 2021. Let your candidate be part of the "Indy 500 Shriners" we hope to initiate in 2021. Can we do it? Sure WE can! Our CAST is ready, our Directors Staff is excited, and our Reception Unit is eagerly waiting to welcome you to Murat. If you still need a petition, please go online at MuratShriners.com, then click on General to get a petition. As Potentate and speaking for the Divan, we are extremely happy to see candidates become new nobles in our almost completed renovation of Murat. Speaking of the renovation, it is very near completion. The new handicapped ramp and patio have been poured, ceiling painted, interior walls are going up and being painted and yes, while reading this article, we should have food and beverage service. I compliment the entire on-site building project team on their many weekly meetings and extra hours of hard work to bring our projects to completion. They have not only finished the new construction projects, but have had to deal with other health and safety hazards plus work through many change orders. Special thanks to Chuck Shull, Julie Grammer and Scott Perez for their efforts. Nobles, you recently received a letter from me asking that you support the above projects monetarily with donations to the "Capital Building Fund." I am now asking you to support this request so we can pay off our debt for the project. To date, we have had a great response from our larger donors and some whom we didn't anticipate or expect. We are so close to reaching our goals of the Building Fund, and I would be remiss if I didn't thank Past Potentate Scott Schuster for his hard work organizing and raising the monies to pay for these long overdue projects. But none of these accomplishments would have been possible without "YOU" the "Noble Donors." Thank you to all! With the COVID-19 virus vaccine now available, many of our members are getting shots and becoming more protected. Now they are wanting to get out and get on with more normal living. We too are wanting to get back to a normal life and get moving "Hav'n Fun in 2021." So, you can expect to see us coming to your meetings and spreading the word of good times and moving forward. Yes, we'll be there live and in person. The No. 1 Potentate's Golf Outing will be held on April 28 at the Ulen Country Club in Lebanon, IN. Please review this issue of the magazine for details. All net proceeds will be donated to our Murat Shrine Building Campaign. For all of our Shriners, including our newest Shriners, get ready for the month of May. The month of May will once again be a busy month with the 500 Parade, Memorial Service, 500 Mile Race, dinners and dance. Our Imperial Sirs, James R. Smith (Lady Alice), Past Executive Vice President Charlie Cumpstone (Lady Mary), and the Grand Master of Masons for the state of Indiana, will be participating with us during our Race Week activities. Special thanks to Ron & Sally Jo Elliott for coordinating all of the weeklong activities. They do a fantastic job! 500 Parade and Indianapolis 500 Mile Race Tickets are "Now on SALE" in the Fraternal Office. Fraternally, Timothy L. Whitaker Potentate
