Knights and Brethren of the Holy House of the Temple, poor fellow soldiers of the Temple of Solomon,
For almost five years it has been my privilege to serve you and the Portland Valley as General Secretary. During this time I’ve been humbled to share fellowship with some truly remarkable men.
In March I will no longer serve as General Secretary of the Portland Valley. I will continue my Masonic journey in a slightly different direction. I have been appointed Assistant General Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Oregon. I’m looking forward to new challenges and continuing my Masonic Education. Although I will be working for the Grand Lodge, I will continue to support the Scottish Rite.
In a few weeks we will be faced with a formidable challenge. We will be implementing a new schedule for the 2017 Spring Reunion. Our Reunions are successful because of a joint effort from many members of our Valley. It is important that we all realize the crucial role we all play in our reunions. Please support the Portland Valley by attending your rehearsals; participating in our Tuesday events and mentoring our new members.
Remember that Tuesday is the Rite Night.
Fraternally,
Rick Komraus, 33°
Thank you for your leadership, friendship and Brotherhood. Best of luck!

Thanks for all your hard work. Your role at the Rite was crucial and you leave big shoes to fill.
Congratulations on your new journey in masonary, the value of your work with the Scottish Rite cannot be expressed in merely words. And will be soulfully missed. Good luck in your future endeavors.
Fraternally your friend:
Michael Shebora.
