Dear Illustrious Sirs, Nobles, and Ladies,

As we begin 2026, I am filled with gratitude and pride to serve alongside each

of you as members of El Hasa Shrine. This year is especially meaningful as we

celebrate 120 years of El Hasa, a legacy built on service, fellowship, and an

unwavering commitment to one purpose -- helping kids. For more than a century,

our temple has stood as a testament to what dedicated individuals can accomplish

when they come together with a shared mission.

The successes of El Hasa are not measured in titles or offices, but in lives

changed, families supported, and hope provided to children who need it most. As

we move forward, let us honor those who came before us by continuing the work

they began. Let us strengthen our temple through participation, fellowship, and

outreach -- inviting others to join us, supporting our events, and ensuring that

El Hasa remains strong for generations to come.

Above all else, let us never lose sight of why we wear the fez. Everything we

do, every mile traveled, every hour volunteered, is for the kids. That mission

has guided El Hasa for 120 years, and it will continue to guide us into the

future.

Thank you for your dedication, your friendship, and your commitment to this

great fraternity. I look forward to serving with you throughout the year ahead.

For the Kids,

Jeremy Lowe

Potentate, El Hasa Shrine
