SPECIAL $50 PETITIONS

The cat is out of the bag.  In conjunction with the Supreme Council’s 200^th Anniversary program, we are offering candidates to join the Valley of Toledo for $50.  Our goal is 200 new candidates for the 200^th Anniversary.  Print off a petition from this website or call the office for a copy (or more)!  What a great deal and it won’t last long.  We are joining with the Valley of Detroit on April 28^th for a combined reunion.  There will be bus transportation to Dearborn for $10, again it includes lunch.  This also promises to be a great day! 

Masonic Bulletin

Watch for this month’s Masonic Bulletin.  The whole front page is devoted to the Toledo/Dayton reunion.  It was very well written and in full color.  A big thanks goes to Bro. Bill Markin, editor of The Bulletin.

Tues, Weds, Thurs,

Bernie responded with the above dates would work for him for the luncheon meeting about the MSA selection.  I know that with you guys working we were wondering if maybe Archbold or where ever you may think will work.  Let me know what you boys are thinking.

4 Valley Reunion

875!  What a wonderful day in Dayton Masonic Temple last weekend.  There were 875 registered Scottish Rite Masons at this reunion.  When was the last time you attended such a spectacle of Masons all at one setting.  Everything went very smooth and the degree work was phenomenal.  Now let’s imitate this day at the Valley of Detroit this April.  Watch for your Tidings and The Masonic Bulletin for more information. 

LAST DAY

Over 800 are now signed up for the Dayton Reunion this weekend.  Today is the absolute last day for signing up to go.  We will be traveling by vans from the Scottish Rite office.  VANS ARE LEAVING PROMPTLY AT 7:00A.M.  Donuts and coffee will be available at 6:30.  Call Pam now and make your reservation.  I will warn you that parking will be a premium.  There are only 240 parking spots available.  Get there early!

 

Organ

There is a member who contacted me and is looking for a free organ.  I have to think that there are a ton of them sitting at the lodges collecting dust.  Let me know if you have one that you would like to donate.

200th Anniversary

Scottish Rite will be celebrating its 200^th Anniversary next year and Supreme Council has kick started a new program with incentives for members to win an unbelievable grand prize!  Mark your calendar for a Special Membership Meeting for March 24.  Watch for your Tidings for more information.

Ill. Brother Jim Williamson (Dayton) has informed me that there are over 500 reservations for the February 18^th Reunion in Dayton, Ohio.  We have 40 going from Toledo.  If you are interested, I need to know by Friday.  Please call me ASAP if you are interested in going.  If you are driving separate, please call the Toledo office and make a reservation for lunch.  It is a $5 charge and we will send one big check for the lunches.  Jackets and ties are appropriate.  Officers and 33rds wear your caps.

Did any of you happen to click on that little icon at the very bottom left corner of the website?  It shows what parts of the world the people have been looking at our website in the last 30 days.  There were people from Australia, Japan, Russia, etc.  I had a remark from Tokyo saying that they liked our website.  I just thought it was interesting.
