Dear Nobles, Friends, and Supporters,
I hope you all had a joyful and safe holiday season.
I’d like to begin by sincerely thanking the Nobles of Pyramid Shrine No.9 for trusting and electing me to serve as your Potentate for the year ahead.It is a deep honor to hold this office, and I promise to serve you and our Temple with dedication, energy, and heart.
As we enter 2026, my vision is simple and focused: Grow our membership. Engage our Nobles. Open our doors to the community. And build a stronger, more connected Pyramid Shrine—together.
Goals for 2026
Membership Growth
Our success depends on bringing new Nobles into the fold and inspiring our current members to stay active and involved. Growth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about building a dynamic, welcoming, and vibrant Shrine family.Engagement & Ownership
This year, we’re putting engagement front and center. Every unit and club will be asked to host at least one Temple-wide event. These events are not just social—they’re opportunities to build bonds, raise funds, and attract potential new members. Whether it’s a dinner, game night, or fundraiser, every gathering helps strengthen our foundation.
Reaching Beyond Our Doors
We’re also opening our events to the wider community. Inviting family, friends,and the public not only raises visibility—it brings in outside energy, support,and funds. These connections are vital to our sustainability and long-term growth.
Stronger Communication
Clear, timely, and consistent communication will be key. We’ll focus on improving how we share information—with better use of digital tools,newsletters, and outreach to ensure every Noble knows what’s happening and how they can take part.
A United Effort
The Divan cannot do this alone. Our future depends on the collective strength of all Nobles—officers, clubs, units, and every member who cares about the Shrine’s legacy and its future. Your participation, support,and enthusiasm will make the difference.Let’s give our Nobles something worth coming back for. Let’s build something strong, sustainable, and meaningful—together.
🙏 Thank You
Finally, to all the Nobles, Brethren, friends, and family who came out to support and celebrate the Installation of the 2026 Officers of Pyramid Shrine No. 9—thank you. Speaking for myself and on behalf of the Temple, I am truly honored that each one of you is part of this journey with us.
Wishing you all safe, healthy, and happy days ahead.
Fraternally in fun and philanthropy,
Noble/WB Albert Ralph Reinholt Johnson (ARRJ)
Potentate
Pyramid Shrine #9
