Fellow Officers and Ladies of the Household,
It is my absolute honor, privilege, and utmost responsibility to serve as Queen of Isis Temple No. 41 for the ensuing year. It seems like only yesterday I was at the station of Princess Badoura, completely clueless and scared out of my mind. The encouragement from each of you has given me the strength and confidence to progress on to where I sit today. I look forward to a Nile year full of fun and fellowship. I would like to extend my deepest thank you to everyone who participated in the Installation Ceremony on Saturday, March 22 at Hadi Temple. I enjoyed seeing everyone all dressed up and you allowing me to put my own personal touches on the decor in shades of blush & bashful. It was a day I will cherish forever with many memories I will always hold dear. Thank you again to each of you for everything.
My promise to you is to perform my duty the best I can. I will work collaboratively with you in harmony and trust. We will have fun and good fellowship, with several new and some existing opportunities to spend time getting to know each other better. There are several fundraisers and social opportunities in the works. I ask that you watch your emails and future newsletters for details. We will work to increase our membership and fill the seats of the Temple each month. I do intend to continue with the abbreviated session in April and May with social activities following.
I am very much looking forward to our 109th Annual Supreme Session in Las Vegas, NV this June where Supreme Princess Royal Kathy Walliker will be installed as Supreme Queen. I am thrilled to have the Isis Temple Patrol as my designated unit and I know it will be a great time. The Supreme Queen's Official Visit to Isis Temple is being planned for Saturday, August 23, at Hadi Temple. Watch for communications as more details will be announced soon. I have found Supreme Princess Royal Kathy to be a lovely lady and know you will as well. Everyone benefits from your sweet spirit of generosity giving of your resources, time and talents. Through your hard work and dedication as a valued and respected member of our order, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of children receiving care at Shriners Children's. Our philanthropy is fortunate to have women like you working together to advance our sisterhood and transform the lives of children and their families around the world. We are guided by our five virtues that express what we believe and who we are, and reflect how we are called to serve. I admire watching each of you live out these virtues in our daily lives. Just remember, "If you can dream it, you can do it." -Walt Disney
Please remember that Isis Temple needs the support of each and every member. When your time and abilities permit, I hope to see you at Stated Sessions and our social and fundraising events. Consider joining the Egyptian Band or Patrol. Attend a Princeton Nile Club meeting or join the Quilters. These are ways to strengthen relationships and gain connections with each other. I ask that you remember our motto for the year: "When life gets hard, remember the graceful flamingo--it's all about balance." If I can be of any assistance to you this year, please reach out.
With Nile Love & Hugs,
Andrea Peters, Queen
