Did you see the title of this post, can you believe that it is December. We are 11 days away from the Elections of a New Potentate and less than 40 days away from the end of my tenure as Potentate.

Well it is definitely not going out like a lamb. This has been a very busy week. I spent Monday and Tuesday evenings at the Shrine Center in a couple of meetings. Last night I went down and manned the booth at the Shriners Festival of Lights Event at the Hazel Park Racetrack. I had a good time, I was surprised by the amount of cars and families attending on a Wednesday night in early December.

This evening I will be attending the Annual Christmas Party for the Past Masters and Reception Units at the Shrine Center. I have been attending this event for quite some time and it is a very nice night because I get to see some old friends from my previous Blue Lodge.

Did I forget to mention that we are 2 days away from the biggest Shrine Party of the year. Things are taking shape very nicely, and Carrie and I will be running errands Friday evening.

I am very excited by The Annual Holiday Party, the first in our Shrine Center, and I know our staff is ready to impress all in attendance.

It looks like we will have a little snow for the weekend, we are overdue, it has been very pleasant this fall.

The only sad part is that we are so busy and were out of town last weekend, that we will not have an opportunity to put up our Christmas Lights this year. I kept believing that I would have the time, but if it does happen it would not be for another couple of weekends and it is not worth it this year. Oh well, I just have to make up for it next year, bigger and better.

See you around.
