November Updates

 

Fall Reunion

We just wrapped up a wonderful Fall Reunion, and I would like to extend a sincere thank-you to Linton Lodge #690 for graciously hosting the Valley to present the 20th Degree. The cast did a fantastic job, and everyone in attendance had a memorable evening. On Saturday, we returned home to the Valley to confer six live degrees. It was a full, fast-paced day, and I am deeply grateful to our production crew for their hard work behind the scenes, as well as all cast members whose teamwork ensured every degree ran smoothly. Most importantly, please join me in congratulating our newest candidates on reaching the 32nd Degree!

 

 

Stated Meeting

Our regular Valley Stated Meeting falls on Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11. The Executive Board will convene at 6:30 PM, after which we will enjoy our traditional clam chowder and chili supper at 7:00 PM. Following dinner, as a special tribute to all who have served our nation, we will host a presentation of the 26th Degree, Friend and Brother Eternal. We hope you will join us for an evening of fellowship and remembrance.
