Dear Brothers of the Orange County Scottish Rite,
I extend my sincerest gratitude to each and every one of you who supported our recent foundation fundraiser. It was indeed a remarkable evening filled with camaraderie, generosity, and Masonic spirit. Your contributions and dedication have made a significant impact, and I am deeply thankful for your unwavering support.
As we reflect on the success of the fundraiser, I am also looking forward to our valley’s change of location and time for Stated Meetings. Effective April, we will be meeting at Orange Grove Masonic Center on the second Monday of the month. This transition marks a new chapter in our journey and presents us with fresh opportunities for growth and fellowship. I am confident that the Orange Grove Masonic Center will provide us with a welcoming and conducive environment for our meetings and activities.
Furthermore, I am pleased to report that our new stated meeting rotation and procedures were successfully implemented for the first time. The feedback received from our members has been overwhelmingly positive, and I am encouraged by the enthusiasm and engagement demonstrated by all. As we continue to fine-tune these processes, I am confident that we will further enhance the Masonic experience for everyone involved, creating a more enriching and fulfilling journey for each member of our Orange County Scottish Rite family.
In the spirit of fraternity and progress, let us embrace these changes with open hearts and minds. Together, let us continue to uphold the timeless principles of Freemasonry and work towards the betterment of our valley and community.
