Brethren,
All Scholarships have been received and are in the process of being evaluated by the Scholarship Committee.
The Web page is a work in progress, so if there are suggestions, please let us know. There is a tab for the Valley Necrology (includes the sick list for the current month and deceased Brothers for each month in 2023 and all of 2022) as well as a list of our events on a 12-month rotating schedule.
The Rite on the Road will begin on January 19, 2023 with the World Premier Video of 20 o Master ad Vitan and will continue through April 13, 2023. Each Rite on the Road will begin with the 4 o , so if you have someone who wants to share in the Scottish Rite Experience, we can get his petition and get a Membership Number for viewing.
The Feast of the Pascal Lamb will be on April 2, 2023 beginning at 3:00 pm. This is an open event for the public but will honor our departed Brothers from the last year.
Our April 22, 2023 Reunion which will have all live Degrees except for the 4 Degree. Please plan on joining us and we will be accepting applications up until that morning of the Reunion.
The Valley is still in search for Officers for our lines. There will be an officer training opportunity on Wednesday, March 22, 2023 at 6:30 pm for all existing officers and anyone wanting to know more about being an officer. We look forward to socializing as well as discussing the coming year with elections in May, 2023. We recognize being an officer is not for everyone and the time involved may be an issue. There is an Officer Application process that enhances the established Officer Selection Committee that consists of the most recent Past Presiding Officers, Deputy’s Rep and Secretary. The applications for Officer are on this site under a tab as well as the Application for membership or reaffiliation.
If we can do anything for you or have questions, please free to contact the office at (812) 234-3761.
