Membership Dues
Are you current with your membership dues? We have 124 members who have not yet paid their 2018 dues. A second notice has been sent by the Supreme Council, and hopefully you are not one of them. Around September 2018 a notice will be sent to those who owe 2019 dues. Those who owe 2 years dues (2018 and 2019) will be suspended for non-payment on 31 December. PLEASE do not be one of them!
Degree Presentations
In case you have not noticed or been told, each Lodge of Perfection meeting will start with a visual presentation and discussion of one of the 29 degrees in succession. The 4th degree presentation was given on 21 March 2018. The 5th degree will be presented on 18 April 2018. We sincerely thank brothers Rani Christie, 33° and Zachary Holmes, 32° KCCH for their efforts to give the presentations. Those 2 same members are the ones responsible for the first Wednesday of each month Master Craftsman study and Blue Lodge degree practice. Outstanding work by each of them to provide educational information to us.
Suggestions/Recommendations
Have you a suggestion concerning any Valley meeting or social? If so, let either the PR (Buddy Wilson, 33°) or the Secretary (William Loerch, 33°) know. We are in those positions for you, not to dictate what is happening. If you want to be incognito, put your ideas on paper into the suggestion box.
REPEAT
Please keep your membership information current. Notify us of any change in email, mailing address, Blue Lodge membership, spouse name, etc. Also, please have someone notify us of any change in your health.
