While the four bodies of the Scottish Rite meet once a month for dinner and a stated business meeting, the members of the Valley have many other opportunities to join together in fellowship and to better server this active organization. While certain clubs like the 33° Club, KCCH and Knights of St. Andrew have membership restrictions, the remaining organizations are open to all Scottish Rite Masons.
The Royal Order Of Ducks is a temple club that shines best during the valley reunions for the presentation of degrees. There are a number of activities that go into the presentation of the degrees and each of these activities is handled by separate committee under the direction of the chairman. The Director of the Work coordinates all the several committees’ activities. The behind the scenes people of stages, properties, sound, spots, and makeup are members of this important club.
