Dear Brothers of the Orange County Scottish Rite,
As we move into September, excitement is building for our upcoming Fall Reunion in October. This is a significant time for our valley as we prepare to welcome new members into the fold. The reunion is not just a ceremony, but a time to reaffirm our commitment to the principles that unite us as Scottish Rite Masons. I encourage all of you to participate and support our newest brothers as they embark on their Masonic journey.
This month, we have the distinct honor of hosting His Excellency, the Illustrious Donald Tapia as our guest speaker at the September meeting. His Excellency is a great supporter of our valley and the RiteCare Childhood Language Center, and we are privileged to have him with us. His dedication to our cause and his insightful perspectives makes this a must-attend event. I am certain that his words will inspire and resonate with us all, making it an evening to remember.
Additionally, I am looking forward to the Consistory taking charge of this month’s meeting. It’s always a pleasure to see the different bodies of our valley come together to lead and guide our activities. This collaborative spirit is what makes our valley strong and vibrant, and I am confident that the Consistory will run the meeting with the same dedication and excellence that they always do.
As we continue to move forward, let us remain committed to our shared goals and the ongoing growth of our valley. Your participation and enthusiasm are what make these events successful, and I look forward to seeing you all at our upcoming gatherings.
