Visitation to Fraser Valley Lodge of Perfection
By Steve
Cronkhite, Venerable Master
We have a long tradition of
visitations across the border with the Fraser Valley Lodge of Perfection.
This year is no
exception. We are planning to visit
our Canadian Scottish Rite Brothers in Langley, BC at their annual 14°
banquet and degree conferral.
Set aside Saturday October
13, 2007 for an afternoon and evening of Scottish Rite Fellowship.
We will leave Bellingham
at 3:00 PM for Langley, BC. We will meet at our Hall at 2:45 and carpool up. I will
bring my Suburban, it will hold eight.
They have their 13th
degree at 4:30 PM
Dinner at 5:45
Confer 14° at 7:00 PM
after receiving the Deputy for British Columbia.
Bring your hat. This is a dark suit or tux affair. If you have never seen the Canadian
Scottish Rite Degrees you will enjoy this trip. They have much more formal ceremonies
than we do.
The tradition is to use
our signs in the Lodge Room, not the Canadian signs and traditions. Please don’t try to do their signs.

Consistory met in August
By Ronald
Fine
We had our first meeting of the new year, on Wednesday August
1, 2007. The Consistory opened the meeting. I have to say I was
disappointed in the low turn out we had. Only 9 member were present. There
were no petitions presented for reading.
We've planned to do the degrees even  without
candidates, we will be studying them, doing questions and answers from all
in attendance. Each member will be asked to present the degree and
explain it's meaning.
Under sickness we have several brothers who were unable to
attend the meeting, Brother John Stafford fell in the shower and is now on
crutches and Brother Chuck Amway was in the hospital having angiogram
done. The results of his test is a 3 way by-pass on Thursday August 9,
2007. Please keep the brothers in your thoughts and prayers.
Hope to see you all on the first Wednesday of September for
our meeting. Dinner is at 6:30 pm.
Yours in Faith
Ron Fine 32 KCCH
Master of Consistory
