Brethren,
First, I want to thank you, the brethren of the Valley, for giving me the opportunity to serve as your new General Secretary. I also want to thank Ill. Frank Loui 33° SGIG for placing his trust in me to perform the duties of this office. Our retiring Secretary, Ill. Bob McNamara 33°, has been exceptionally helpful to me in this time of transition. He is unsparingly generous in his time. Bob personifies the Masonic ideal of service. Also, Ill. Lloyd Clayton 33° and Brother Russ Albright 32° are extremely helpful in our office. My aim is to maintain the high standards that have been es-tablished in the Valley of Orange County office.
By now, most of you should have received your dues notice for 2019 membership. This can be paid online, via mail, or you can bring your dues payment to our October Stated Meeting. Many brothers have already paid by one of these methods and we thank you.
I am open to hearing your new ideas on duties handled by the General Secretary’s office. Right now, I plan on being in the office on Monday and Friday mornings. Our OCSR office phone number remains 714-543-7277. I look forward to serving our Valley and helping it grow with your help.
Fraternally,
Jamie Hopkins 32°
General Secretary
Valley of Orange County, A.A.S.R.
