gave an inspiring and informative talk on the hospital system structure and the inspiring history of a patient named Deborah that suffered from a condition that created an excessive and painful bow-legged gate whenever she walked. Time-lapsed photos demonstrating Deborah’s recovery were amazing and uplifting for all to see. As the night marched forward the traditional vivats and toasts were made.

Interspersed in the evening was the fezzing ceremony for two of the newest nobles Rocco Pasquinucci and Noble Patrick Glover. Both were greeted with a round of applause. Noble Ferreira (membership chairman) also provided certificates for those in attendance who were recently created but had yet to receive their Temple certificates. The brethren of Adoniram were accommodating to all in attendance and Salaam picked up a few new recruits at the same time.
It was a great evening.
