2023 Scottish Rite Reunion Invitation

Hello Brothers,

I wanted to take a moment to remind you of the 2023 Austin Scottish Rite Spring Reunion that will be held on two Saturdays, May 20 and May 27.  Each day will start with breakfast at 7:00 a.m. and will continue until 4:00 p.m.  Lunch will be served at noon.

As a member of the Scottish Rite Valley, I encourage you to attend as much of the reunion as you are able to.  Watch a degree, participate in an educational presentation, share a meal with your Brothers, or just catch up on news from different Lodges.

Let us set the example for the candidates that will be initiated into our membership and show them the support that we remember as we received the degrees.

The Austin Scottish Rite 2023 Spring Reunion is dedicated to the memory of Illustrious Brother Archie W. Scott, 33° IGH.  There will be a brief memorial celebration during lunch on Saturday, May 27th in the dining room. We will share memories of Brother Archie and hear from family and friends as we celebrate his contributions to the Valley of Austin and Freemasonry as a whole.

A Scottish Rite Reunion is exactly what the term implies. It is a reuniting of the membership after a period of separation. It is a homecoming get-together of the Brethren in a continuing fellowship of the Fraternity. The days of the Reunion are rich in a comradeship among those of like mind and purpose. We here recognize stability and strength, and feel proud to be a part of a program of such magnitude and worth. Within this fellowship, the horizons of our own lives are lifted. At a reunion the degrees will be performed, and a Master Mason becomes a Master of the Royal Secret.  

I hope to see you all at the one or both days of the reunion. Please see the schedule below to plan your attendance.

Fraternally,

Don Eames
General Secretary
