CONGRATULATIONS to the new Worshipful Masters being installed this month. The Scottish Rite will attempt to present leather planning guides to the Sr. Wardens and a very nice 2022 Master Tac to the Worshipful Masters. Be sure to attend your Lodge’s Installation to show your support for your new Worshipful Master and his core of officers as well as to stand up and be counted as a Scottish Rite Mason during the presentation.
CONGRATULATIONS TO our 2 newest Meritorious Service Awardees Michael J. Waldern and Charles J. Vadino on receiving their Cap and Jewel at our annual Meritorious Service Award Reception last month as well as our newest 33o Scottish Rite Masons: Zel E. Bush, Phillip R. Elliott, III, Brian M. Kennedy, and Brian S. Williams.

BRETHREN: Please note that the Valley has instituted a calling program. Each month our officers will be calling our members who have a birthday that month just to check up on you, make sure you are receiving mail from the Valley and to see how you are. So don’t be surprised when that call comes, we just want to know how you are doing.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!
