Behind the Scenes

While this BLOG gives you a glimpse into the things going on at the Shrine.....today, I will give you a glimpse at some of the items the Potentate gets to handle in a day (and today was slower than most!)...
  • Meeting with the Membership Chairman to discuss future ceremonials, dues collection, restorations and new members
  • Potentates Ball planning (following up on about 10 different items all dealing with different folks)
  • Information distribution for Ohio Shrine
  • Communications distribution to specific Clubs and Units
  • Making at least 10 calls to resolve various questions and concerns from Nobles, Units and Clubs
  • Sending out thank you notices
Following up on these items:
  1. Building cooling concerns
  2. Financial questions about the budget
  3. Insurance waiver's for clubs/units at events
  4. By-law changes for multiple clubs/units
  5. Club and Unit Parade requests
  6. Reporting questions from Tampa
  7. On the "MIA" Yearbook
  8. Following up on the legal implications of a couple of items
  9. Sales for Dayton Dragons tickets
  10. Various items for Friday Night Bites in May through August with the various groups sponsoring the evening (along with Aides and Divan Reps) to make sure plans are progressing
  11. Imperial and GLSA meetings
And I'm sure I missed a few for today but that should give you an idea. But despite all these "to do's" on a daily basis, it is all worth it when you think about the fact that you are getting an opportunity every day to make a difference in some child's life through our support for the Shriner's  Hospitals.
