Ill. Ralph C. Shelton II, 33°
The next Reunion is coming – and I am excited. Our Valley is growing, and we have more new members coming. That’s exciting. I’ve read through the Valley Membership Achievement Program (VMAP) report prepared by Hon. McCallion for Supreme Council, and I was so proud to see in print the accomplishments that this Valley has made. Now, for those of you we haven’t seen much, I have a request.
Join us for dinner.
That’s all, just come on down on meeting night and break bread with your Scottish Rite brothers.
You may want to take on a role, and you may not, but we really want to see you and fellowship with you. Some of you may decide you want to join in as an ambassador, or as a cast member, and many of you would prefer to be a sideliner – and each of those has value.
For those who don’t wish to come to a meeting, be sure to follow the calendar – and the other announcements in this newsletter – and join us for a social event or an outing – or, if you prefer, drop me a note and let me know what would attract you to be present and participating.
Last, for those of you who think nothing ever changes or improves, you may be pleasantly surprised – I’ll bet a lot has been elevated since your last engagement, from our meeting space to our electronic payment choices to our dinner menu and our programs. It’s a brief meeting followed by a program and dinner, and we want you there – at the crossroads of Masonry in Orange County, the Orange County Scottish Rite.
