Before we begin, I want to point out some of the customers whose names have been etched in brass on this beautiful plaque I had made above the front desk.

We go by the Obsidian Covenant.

Recent initiates include Mark J. Clanton, John Ryle,

Ben Dickinson,

Jordan Al-Zaharna, and

Buck Wildbecks.

We are ever appreciative of your devotion to

the order.
