FROM THE 3rd VICE PRESIDENT
Contributed by Ill.Robert "Bob" Seldomridge, PP, 3rd Vice President
My Dear Nobles,
Thank you again for your trust and confidence in electing me your 3rd Vice President, it is certainly an honor and a privilege to serve you and our organization.
Congratulations to all of the newly elected High Priests & Prophets, may you all have a successful and enjoyable year. I look forward to seeing you soon.
My message this year varies very little from last year. To generate more interest in NYOSA, we must increase our exchange of ideas and suggestions from all the Shrine Centers and of course our participation in attending events when possible.
Ill. Robert "Bob" Seldomridge, PP
This years Fall Session was a great success in that we had a great presentation by Imperial Sir Ralph Semb, explaining how successful our hospitals and care givers are in providing state of the art medical treatment for our kids and new technologies and procedures that are coming on line. Imperial Sirs George Mitchell and Alan Madsen gave very informative presentations on our great fraternity and included a report on Masonic relations and ideas to increase membership. For those who cannot attend the Imperial Sessions, the NYOSA Spring and Fall Sessions, offers a great opportunity to acquire accurate and up to date information. Plus meet your brother Nobles and I promise you, you will have an enjoyable weekend. This year thanks to Ill: L. John Garharrt we had a very successful clown competition, the first in many years. I am sure this will continue for the years to come. We had a very successful parade this year, with great participation from many of the Shrine Centers. Plus a hospitality room and Saturday night dinner that was not to be equaled. These are just a few examples of what can be accomplished when we work together. So PLEASE don’t miss out on the FELLOWSHIP and FUN JOIN US!
In closing Nobles join the FUN and please remember it takes all of us to make NYOSA a successful organization. Enjoy the fellowship of old friends and make new ones.
My Lady Patricia and I hope all of you had a Happy Thanksgiving and we wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season and a healthy Happy New Year.
Yours in the Faith,
Ill. Robert "Bob" Seldomridge, PP, 3rd Vice President
