Dear Illustrious Sirs,
Thank you for electing me CIPPA President for the 2025 ~ 2026 Shrine year. I am humbled and honored to serve you, our over 3,200 Cabiri members.
Former Imperial Treasurer, Imperial Sir Brad T. Koehn, was duly elected and installed Imperial Potentate on July 3, 2025. We look forward to having a fantastic year for our fraternity and philanthropy under his leadership.
We are delighted to share our pride that Imperial Sir Brad’s father, Illustrious Sir William A. Koehn, was the president of Cabiri International 27 years ago.
All 375 tickets for the Cabiri Breakfast & Annual Meeting were sold before the Imperial Session started this year. We are sorry that we had to turn people away. Please make sure that you order next year’s tickets as soon as Secretary Keel Broom announces the online sales. I did that every year to secure my ticket.
Cabiri’s primary purpose during the Imperial Session is to promote good fellowship among the past Potentates. By having a very nice hospitality room during the Imperial Sessions, we provide a home away from home for our Cabiri members, ladies, and guests.
This year’s hospitality room was exceptional! Many hands make light work. Thanks to our Secretary Keel’s tireless work, Past President Bob Lee’s world-renowned homemade cookies, Treasurer Wayne’s Lady Sharon Vian’s planning and hands-on approach, along with many volunteers' bartending, every guest was well served. Everybody had a great time.
Cabiri International is yours. When you visit the hospitality room, you are coming home. You are a host, not a guest. Don’t hesitate to join the fellow Cabiri volunteers and entertain ladies and guests.
The next Imperial Session will be here before we know it. Let’s look forward to having a great Shrine year. I look forward to seeing all of you in Tampa in 2026.
Yours in the Faith,
Andrew A. Kuo, DDS
