Jamie Hopkins, 32° KCCH
General Secretary
June was an active month in the Valley of Orange County. We had an outstanding Cap & Ring Ceremony for our newest Brothers immediately following our June Stated Meeting. Grateful thanks to Honorable Brother Olivier, Honorable Brother McCallion, Brother Barry Mckinley and all the other members who helped make this event so successful. A good dinner capped off the night. Our new location at Orange Grove Lodge is serving us well.
At our meeting, our PR Ralph Shelton 33° discussed the progress our Valley is making with improved attendance. The Masonic education being offered with our online Master Craftsman program fill the needs of both our newer Brothers and our longtime members. The simple registration for this program is on our Supreme Council website (scottishrite.org). Please check out our Valley website (scottishrite.org) which has been entirely revamped. We thank Brother Shawn Bell for all of his good work on this project. Our website now has a tab that leads to the RiteCare Language Center of Orange County website. Brothers can read up on the services provided by the OC Language Center that we support. Also, donations can be made online at this site.
Our July Stated Meeting will be on July 8th at 6:30 pm at the Orange Grove Lodge. Please come out to enjoy good fellowship and to support your Valley. Have a great 4th of July!
