My Brothers,
Masonry’s cornerstone is charity and in the Scottish Rite, this charitable energy is focused in the support of our Language Center. It is our privilege to provide for this organization and we are always looking for new ways to help our children. We want to show how much we truly care about their develop- ment, their quality of life, but most importantly, about their happiness.
This brings me to our first event this year, Operation “The Rite Backpacks”. Thanks to generous contributions from brothers in our Valley, we have secured funding to provide each child attending the Language Center with a nice backpack, full of the “right” grade-appropriate education supplies, in order to achieve academically.
To make this event fun, brothers and ladies contributing to this operation will be invited to an evening event, where together, we will work on getting all these backpacks assembled for formal presenta- tion to the Language Center. All backpacks will be distributed to children receiving assistance from organ- ization. Many of the supplies needed for success will be found inside each of these backpacks, all except for a trowel, as that implement is for us to keep, so we can continue to spread our brotherly love and affec- tion towards this great center.
If you missed out on this opportunity to give, hang on tight, future “Rite” events will be announced soon. Yes, the “Rite” is here to stay! The Language Center is our Philanthropy, our duty, but most importantly, our unspoken obligation.
Fraternally yours,
Frankie Rosario, 32°
Wise Master
