Hello Brethren,
I hope this email finds you well as we look forward to some relief from the dry weather this week. I hope you will join me at the November stated meeting on this Wednesday, November 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the Austin Scottish Rite Temple.
Brother Christian Moore will begin the evening with meeting of the Collegium Ecossaise at 5:30 p.m. in the auditorium. Bring your recommendations on future discussions and direction of the Collegium for the new year. The Valley would like to hear what interests could be added to the curriculum and topics that could add value to these discussions.
Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. by the Order of the Garde Manger in the dining room. We look forward to another great meal from Brother Chef Sentell, Brother Hoste, and the Garde Manger.The stated meeting will begin in the auditorium at 7:30 p.m. We will be recognizing the Double Eagle award recipients that were unable to attend the Double Eagle banquet earlier in the month.
***PETITIONS***
If you have a petition for the 2024 Fall Reunion from a candidate, please make sure that you bring it to the meeting or email it to me at gs@austinscottishrite.orgWe will need to vote on any candidates at this stated meeting if they are interested in receiving the Degrees of the Scottish Rite on November 16.
I urge you all to join us for the one-day reunion on November 16,2024 in honor of Brother James A Baker, 33° I.G.H. The reunion is the best time to connect with Brothers that you haven’t seen in a while and to catch up on news around the Valley. The one-day format will be compressed and the quality of the degrees conferred will be exceptionally done by the Austin Scottish Rite degree teams. Please come out and support our hardworking degree teams, the members of the Sanhedrin, and the Order of the Garde Manger. These Brothers have worked hard to confer the terminal degrees and we should show them our support and appreciation in their efforts.
Again I encourage you to come by for a degree or stay all day to welcome the new candidates and to support the Valley.I hope to see you all at the Stated meeting on Wednesday and the Reunion on Saturday, November 16.
