Dear Brothers of the Orange County Scottish Rite,
I am thrilled to begin this month by extending a heartfelt congratulations and warm welcome to our newest members. It was truly inspiring to see such a full and vibrant meeting, reflecting the growing strength and unity of our valley. Your commitment and enthusiasm bring fresh energy to our fraternity, and we are excited to have you join us on this Masonic journey.
Additionally, I would like to congratulate our new Knights of St. Andrew. Your dedication and achievements are commendable, and we are proud to see you take on this role. The presence and participation of our members, both new and longstanding, are what make our meetings so enriching and fulfilling.
We were also honored to have our Deputy Grand Master, Right Worshipful Art Salazar, visit us in an official capacity. His presence and the inspiring message he delivered on the importance of uplifting and motivating one another were highlights of the evening. Right Worshipful Salazar’s words served as a powerful reminder of the positive impact we can have on each other’s lives, both within and beyond our Masonic activities.
As we continue to grow and evolve as a valley, let us keep these moments of fellowship and inspiration close to our hearts. Together, we can achieve great things and continue to uphold the values and traditions of our beloved Scottish Rite.
