Venerable Master
Brethren,
As we step into March, we find ourselves with a powerful opportunity to make a difference—not only in the lives of children who rely on our RiteCare Childhood Language Center but also in the future of Scottish Rite Masonry in Orange County. This month is about action—giving back to our community and strengthening the bonds of brotherhood within our lodges.
Support Our Childhood Language Center – Casino Night Fundraiser (March 28th)
On March 28th, we will be hosting our 2nd Annual Casino Night Fundraiser, benefiting the RiteCare Childhood Language Center of Orange County. This event is one of our biggest fundraising efforts of the year, and it directly supports children in need of speech-language therapy—children who, without our help, may struggle to find their voice.
This is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a chance for us to stand together in the true spirit of Masonic charity. I encourage each of you to purchase a ticket, invite friends and family, and spread the word. If you are unable to attend, consider making a direct donation to support the cause. Every contribution helps us provide essential services to children who need them most.
Date: Friday, March 28, 2025
Time: 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Location: Orange Grove Lodge, 71 Plaza Square, Orange, CA
Tickets: $70 Suggested Donation

This is your opportunity to have a fun night out while making a meaningful impact. Let’s come together and make this a record-breaking year for our CLC!
Growing Our Brotherhood – Bring a Master Mason to Dinner
Beyond our charitable work, we also have the duty to strengthen our Masonic bonds by reaching out to the Master Masons in our Blue Lodges. Many of them may be interested in furthering their Masonic journey but have never been personally invited to experience the Scottish Rite.
I challenge each of you to extend an invitation to a Brother from your Lodge. Invite them to join us for dinner at one of our upcoming meetings and let them see what we are about. We are not just another Masonic body—we are a community where knowledge, fellowship, and personal growth come together.
Stay Engaged – Events Throughout the Year
We have many events lined up that will strengthen our Valley and our fraternal bonds. Make sure to check out our full event calendar here:

Brethren, our Valley is only as strong as the effort we put into it. I encourage you to engage, participate, and invite others into our Scottish Rite family. Whether through philanthropy or fellowship, we each can contribute in meaningful ways.
Let’s make March a month of brotherhood and impact —support the fundraiser, invite a Brother, and be part of something greater than ourselves.
