Potentate's Message ...

Lady Angela and I are deeply honored and humbled to serve as we begin this journey with you. As the 101st Potentate of the Ali Ghan Shrine, I am grateful for the trust placed in us to lead this remarkable fraternity. As we look ahead, one word defines our path forward: together. Everything we have achieved—supporting Shriners Children’s, building lifelong friendships, and serving our communities—has been made possible through unity. And as we step into 2026, we do so with energy, purpose, and excitement—ready to make this a year of growth, impact, and unforgettable moments.
Our future depends on both growth and connection. We must welcome new Nobles into our brotherhood while ensuring every member feels valued, respected, and inspired to serve. By working together with a shared purpose, we honor the legacy built over the past century and ensure the Ali Ghan Shrine remains a strong, vibrant force for generations to come. United in fellowship, philanthropy, and service, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.  We have many events planned and truthfully believe 2026 will be an incredible year for the Ali Ghan Shrine as we all work together to Make Ali Ghan Great Again!

Fraternally Yours,
Jon L. Evans
