We are still looking for volunteers, raffle prizes, and are happy to accommodate any players wishing to have a great day on the course. It is that time of the year and our teams are beginning to practice for the upcoming degrees in October. We are always looking for volunteers to help welcome our newest members into the Rite. For more information please contact brother Crispin Woelfer or Brother David Nunez who will be coordinating the degrees. I would like to thank and commend those of you who have been contributors to the Stockton Scottish Rite “365 Club”, which directly benefits our Childhood Language Center. This fundraiser is still very active. For those of you that have contemplated contributing, I would like to point out that your commitment is instrumental to the operation of the Center during the summer session. In the past funding the center for the summer was very difficult. Since the inception of this fundraiser we have been able to help more of our young clients at no charge to their families. Organizations such as ours are often judged by what our charities accomplish. Our Language Center is a defining phi- lanthropy and as such we are received positively by those with limited knowledge of our Rite. As most of you know the concept is a dollar a day for the year. These funds help us continue to serve the young clients with language disor- ders, at no charge. Thanks again for your help. Last but certainly not least, there has been a changing of the guard in our office. Brother Ken Evans has left to enjoy his retirement and upcoming travels. We would like to thank Ken for all of his work as General Secretary of our Scot- tish Rite. The Ill Frank Louie 33 degree, S.G.I.G. has appointed Brother Kent Armstrong as our new General Secre- tary. Please stop by and congratulate him on his new appointment. Welcome Kent!

A Word From Our Personal Representative…..
Summer is coming to an end and our members are returning from well-deserved vacations. Our schedule is full and we expect to be very busy in the next months.
If you get an opportunity you can stop by the Stockton Scottish Rite Language Center and see the new carpet and paint that was recently completed. During the spring break we were able to remove the files and furnishings, paint the interior of the Center and install new carpet. Language center personnel have commented that they are very pleased with the renovations. My thanks and congratulations go out to our Language Center Board headed by the Ill. Robert Snyder 33 degree.
On September 16, 2013, we will again be hosting the third Stockton Scottish Rite Childhood Language Center golf tournament at Brookside Country Club. The event directly benefits our Language center and we expect another great event which is chaired by the Ill. Craig Santos, 33 degree.

A Message From The Ladies…….
By the time you receive this the Ladies Luncheon will be over. It was, as in the past, a very pleasant after-noon. Special thanks go to the ladies who decorated tables, made salads and raffle baskets and sold tick-ets. It is a great deal of work for the few active mem-bers. We appreciate those who assisted in making this a success. Our group will be resting on our lau-rels until the time for the Easter Breakfast. We have been investigating replacing the carpet in the Ladies Lounge and the hallway. It is such a mess (the car-pet). JR spends an inordinate time cleaning it after rentals. Our choices would be stained cement or tile. Because of the high amount of traffic in that area we need to purchase a commercial grade of tile. The costs are much greater than we had hoped. This project will have to go on the back burn-er for now. We will continue to meet on the first Wednesday after dinner. You are always welcome to join us.
