General Secretary
Brethren:
Hope you are enjoying our mild, summer weather. On Saturday, July 12th, the Valley of Orange County held an outstanding picnic at William R. Mason park in Irvine. The weather was beautiful and the event was very well attended. If you didn’t make it, you missed a great, summer barbecue. We greatly appreciate the hard work of Venerable Master Russ Hennings and Brother Commander Barry Mckinley (and their wives) for all their time and effort in making the picnic such a success. Let’s see if we can make this an annual event.
Our Supreme Council will begin sending out dues notices for 2026 dues in late August. If your dues notice looks incorrect to you, please contact the Secretary at the Valley office. For any dues questions whatsoever, please contact us at the office.
Our Fall Reunion is coming up on Friday, October 3rd & Saturday, October 4th. Now is the time to get those petitions in for Master Masons who have shown an interest in joining the Rite. Our Lodge Brothers will never know about the benefits of joining OCSR if we don’t tell them. Our August Stated Meeting is on Monday, August 11th at 6:30 pm at the Orange Grove Masonic Lodge. See you there!
