Pote’s Notes...
H
ello Nobles and Friends,
I would like to start out by thanking all the Nobles who showed
up for the Stated Meeting on April 11th, and voted in favor of the
resolution that I had put to the Nobility. This resolution will allow the top
five seated officers of the Blue Lodges to join the Shrine for $50.00. This is
a onetime offer. I truly believe this will be the start of a greater relationship
between the Blue Lodges and the Shrine. Thank you for your vision for the
future and the membership growth of the Shrine.
April was a busy month. The Stagecraft Unit and I were in
Savannah, Georgia for 5 days at the annual SDA meeting with
several different Temples around the country. Four days later after
returning home, we were off to Las Vegas for WSA convention
and a joint ceremonial. There were a total of 24 candidates who
walked the sands with 16 being from Al Malaikah. I would like
to thank all the candidates, top line signers, Nobles and their
Ladies who attended this event.
Next, my Lady Carolyn and I leave for the two week
Potentate’s Panama Canal cruise. We have several Nobles and
their ladies joining us for this fun event. Even “Dick the Duck”
will be checking out the Panama Canal.
In May we have our stag Indy 500 trip and then on May 27th we will have the
groundbreaking ceremony at our new hospital site in Pasadena. Joining in the activities will be
many of the representatives from Tampa, our Hospital Board of Governors, our hospital staff
and other Shrine Temples. All are welcome to join the Feztivities on this historical day.
Well, that does it for now. Time for me to go feed the horses. Take care and have a safe
May and we’ll see you down the trail. May the Great Architect be with you and your loved ones.
Fraternally,
Lynn Georgeson, Potentate
Hare Raising Smiles at LASHC
N
oble Christopher Badoyan
A.K.A. the “Easter Bunny”
along with Judy Badoyan went
to the Los Angeles Shriners Hospital
for Children for the second year. They
delivered gift bags filled with candy
donated from the ladies at Daughters of
the Nile as well as some Al Malaikah
Noble’s ladies.
As well as the candy the kids
take pictures with our Noble hare. It is
always wonderful to see how happy the
kids are to see our big Easter bunny.
Doris Price. Carolynn Martin and Jill
Korpal joined in the great day. Just
another example of the wonderful way
Al Malaikahans help the kids and bring
a smile to them. Great to see a young
new Noble doing what we do!
50 Years and Going Strong

M
y Brother Masonic Leaders:
As the 117th Potentate of the Al Malaikah Shrine Temple, I have made it my goal to better
integrate the Shrine with the local Masonic Lodges located in the area that Al Malaikah serves.
As we all know before becoming a Shriner, we are Masons first.
I extend my hand in friendship to you, my Masonic Brothers who are the Leaders of our Masonic Blue
Lodges.
I have created a special one-time offer for the “2015” sitting Worshipful Master, Senior Warden Junior
Warden, Secretary & the Lodge Treasurer, to become Shriners, if they are not already members of our Shrine
Temple. This offer is open only to those Brothers that currently hold these positions.
We have scheduled a special Ceremonial for this group of Masonic Leaders on June 13, 2015 at 10 AM.
To be held at the “Shriners Hospital” in Los Angeles. No other Masons will be initiated on that day, but this
special group. This special Ceremonial is to be held honor of Noble Russ Charvonia, Grand Master of Masons
of California, and a Noble of Al Malaikah.
The cost to you as a Leader of your Lodge is $50.00 which includes your initiation fee and your 2015
Shrine dues, the purchase of a Fez is extra. That’s a 66% discount from $150.00, which is the normal cost of
joining our Shrine. This is too good to pass up and may never be offered again. I assure you, it has never been
offered before.
For those Leaders that have already crossed the sands, I offer you a unique bonding experience to be
able to cross the sands as a Lodge Team, with the other members of your Lodge Leadership, at no charge.
Attendance by existing Nobles is not mandatory.
Make your reservations by completing the special application for this ceremonial and charging the
$50.00 fee to your credit card or send a check to Al Malaikah Shrine, C/O Membership 665 W. Jefferson Blvd,
Los Angeles, Ca. 90007.
**Please make your check payable to Al Malaikah Shrine.
Fraternally,
Lynn Georgeson, Potentate

Awesome “A” Shrine Club Hosts
Second Successful Screening Clinic
F
or the second consecutive year, Awesome A Shrine Club hosted another outstanding
Screening Clinic for Los Angeles Shriners Hospital for Children. On Saturday,
March 28 took over the Senior Citizen Center in South El Monte with 20 volunteers
in an effort to find more children who would qualify as patients for Shriners Hospital, LA.
The clinic was open from 9:00AM to 1:00PM and 12 patients were referred to the hospital.
This was twice as many as last year and shows continual growth in the attendance at these clinics.
Awesome “A” Shine Club President Vrej Yepremian led a great group of members
and volunteers that included Levon Kavlakian, Peter Kupelian, David Olmedo, Francis
Zuragoza, David Mujica, Raffi Bedrossian, Chris Badoyan, Albert Khachikyan, and
Michael Ycaza. Also present were Noble Doctors Arthur Fleisher and Illustrious Sir Ron
Schem P.P. , Chiropractor Chris Tsai, First Ceremonial Master Seb Badoyan, Second
Ceremonial Master Raffi Barsamian, Director of Shrine Clubs Robert DeJong, and Past
Potentates Dave Chernik and Fred Bernhardt. Representing the Los Angeles Hospital
were Faviola Ramirez and Public Relations Director Carla Valenzuela. Potentate Lynn
Georgeson and his Lady Carolyn stopped by and were greeted by El Monte City Council
Woman Vickie Martinez, who was so happy to have the Screening Clinic in the Area. All
present are committed to the success of this project and its continuation in the years ahead.

“God rested them in Peace”
To the land of promised rest,
Their work is done and the setting sun
Has sealed their life’s request.
They have left this earthly strand
For the house beyond the sea,
Though the past is gone,
They will still live on
To us all- Sweet is our memory.
