"Organized for Good Fellowship and the support of

Shriners Hospitals for Children"

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​President’s Message

​February 5, 2024

Illustrious Sirs,

Greetings from your Cabiri International Association. I hope this finds you all doing well. It won’t be long before we’ll be gathering in Reno for the 2024 Imperial Session. I’d like to invite you and your Divan to visit us in our Hospitality Suite during the session. Our suite will be open Monday through Wednesday during the session. This is a great opportunity to introduce your Divan to our many members and partake of some Shrine fellowship. It’s also a great time to invite your current Potentate to join the CIPPA. Remember it’s a one-time fee to become a life member of the association.

I would also like to ask you to review the ranks of your local past potentates and encourage any who aren’t already a member of Cabiri to join our ranks. They can go online and complete an application. Why should they join? If you review our purpose with them, it’s usually incentive enough.

As a reminder the purpose of Cabiri International is:

To promote good fellowship among Past Potentates and stimulate an active interest in all Shrine activities and the Shrine Hospitals for Children.
To establish headquarters at all Imperial Sessions, Shrine Director Sessions and Regional Sessions, where Past Potentates may assemble, shake the sand from their sandals and renew old acquaintances.
To acquaint new Past Potentates with the ancient and abstruse mysteries of the Cabiri.
To hold meetings and open the well of Zem-Zem and enjoy the wonderful sociability of the Shrine.
It is definitely not a political group.Please don’t hesitate to contact me or any of the officers if we can be of assistance to you. We look forward to seeing you in Reno, either in our hospitality suite or our annual breakfast

Yours in the Faith,

Craig C. Stimpert PP 2016
President C.I.P.P.A​.
