Access).
We are open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Duties include responding to public inquiries, tracking maintenance

Brethren,
Well, Summer has certainly jumped up and slapped us at the end of June. We’ve been very
fortunate to have such a delightful Spring, but it might have felt a little better if the HEAT had
eased its way on to us.
Summer finds us preparing for our Fall Reunion. Now is the time to approach your Masonic
friends and associates about becoming a new Scottish Rite Mason. The degrees will be conferred
the last weekend in October.
We expect the event to be well attended by all of the Scottish
Rite in our area as well as visiting brethren from other
jurisdictions. Please plan on taking your Lady to dinner on
the 3rd Friday of each month. The cost is expected to be $7
per person.
Brethren, the heat has arrived so please be careful during
the summer months.
Please mark your calendars for the new Scottish Rite Friday night dinners beginning in July. The
3rd Friday of each month we will sponsor a fund-raising dinner at the Scottish Rite. All proceeds
will go toward our planned 100th Anniversary Celebration in October 2013. The Grand
Commander, Ill. Ronald Seale will be in attendance as well as our Sovereign Grand Inspector
General, Ill. James D. Cole.
