SEDALIA CLUB COOKIE CONTEST |
|
The Sedalia Scottish Rite Club sponsored what was billed as a "First Lady Cookie Contest" at the Missouri State Fair on August 19. The picture was
e-mailed to me. I pulled the cutline off of the State Fair web site. I don't know how it became the "Scottish Rite Cookie Contest." However, if we continue to
sponsor the event and it gets a little bigger, that would be wonderful publicity for our club and the Scottish Rite, in General. |

COMMUNICATION FROM THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY |
|
Brothers:
Just a reminder that our Fall Reunion will be on October 23rd. and 24th. If this years Masters are to bring in a larger number of candidates than last years
Masters we all need to promote Scottish Rite to as many potential candidates as possible. Just so everyone quotes the correct fees to those candidates, the initiation fee for the Fall
Reunion is $250.00 which includes the cost of the Cap and $100.00 for next years dues for a total of $350.00. There are many old petitions out which reflect the wrong amounts.
Lets build our Fraternity numbers back to what they were in past years.
We will not be holding a Spring Reunion next year because an Orient wide and multi-state Reunion is scheduled to be held in
Joplin
on March 18 and 19, 2011. On these dates the candidates will see all 29 Scottish Rite degrees. More information will follow as it becomes available.
Kenneth Hyatt, Executive Secretary.

SUNDAY MORNING DISCUSSIONS |
|
Sunday Morning Breakfast is a weekly gathering of sincere students of freemasonry structured around the system of
the Scottish Rite where freedom of speech and freedom of religion are venerated where questions are welcomed and exploration is encouraged. We take the degrees one at a time
and review them, we use the properties of the valley and replicate the lodge rooms for the degrees and walk through the degrees word for word from the scripts of the degrees reawakening
and reconfirming the teachings and the obligations of those degrees. After which we retire to the small dinning room for breakfast and discussion surrounding the degree. All Scottish
Rite Masons are welcomed to attend and to participate in the degree reviews. (Provided that you have obtained the degree we are reviewing)

QUICK FACT... |
|
In 1958, the Valley moved in to a building at 3201 Flora, just down the street from our current home. It was remodeled and served as
the home to our Valley until 1971, when it was sold to Model Cities.

Many of you know about the Master Craftsman Course offered by the supreme counsel. I would like to let you know there
is a new course available called the Master Craftsman 2 and several of the members have started that course it requires a lot more writing and goes much deeper into the symbolism
of the Scottish Rite degrees. I strongly encourage you to check it out.
The Master Craftsman program can be purchased at the Valley Store
The Master Craftsman 2 Program can be purchased at this link

us on Sunday and at the new master craftsman study group as we continue on this adventure of learning through the Scottish Rite degrees!
