The culmination of this year’s efforts was celebrated at our annual Giving Tuesday Telethon.

Hosted by Brothers Walt Wheeler, 33°, Director of Charities, and Darian Koons, 32°, Manager of Donor Relations, we gathered as a fraternity to celebrate the momentous work and impact of our Scottish Rite charities. Throughout the night we heard the stories of those positively impacted by our charities such as the Grand Almoner’s Fund and Children’s Dyslexia Centers, welcomed our new Grand Almoner Alan Heath, 33°, listened to live music, and even held a painting competition with Sovereign Grand Commander Samiec! ...Read More

Happy Holidays Brethren!
We are just a couple of short weeks away from closing the book that is 2021 and turning the first page on a brand new year. For everyone who took the time to tune in to our telethon, donated to our charities, or gave back to a Brother with your time or resources over the last year, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Our fraternity is strong because of your unwavering generosity, hard work, and Brotherly love.

While it would be easy to stop and rest on our laurels, our indefatigable team here at headquarters plans no such thing. We have a number of major initiatives coming your way in the new year. Yes, Thursday Night at the Rite will return per popular demand. Details for a new season are being finalized, and we will announce the lineup as soon as we can. And that's just the beginning. 2022 will be filled with member enrichment initiatives coming from the Supreme Council and your Valleys. Stay tuned.

Wishing you and your family a joyful holiday season, and may God bless each and every one of you.

Fraternally,

Ill. Peter J Samiec, 33°
