In 2016, GLSA will make a very nice presentation
All GLSA Officers and Ladies and All GLSA Potentates and their Ladies are invited to be on stage for the presentation. All other GLSA folks present are encouraged to applaud wildly!
Our plan is to present the new Imperial Potentate with a beautiful Masonic apron, in a shadow box that says essentially that GLSA thinks he is the Number One Shrine Mason during his term.
