PR Perspectives “Connecting the Brethren”

Welcome, Brethren, to the Valley of Baker Scottish Rite, Orient of Oregon, for the 178th Spring Reunion.

Please take a few moments to review the program. If you do not have your assigned part as a cast member, please contact the Director of the Degrees as soon as possible.

This year, lunch on Thursday and Friday will be prepared by the Eastern Star Chapter (and yes—they are including soup this time!), and they will also be serving dinner on Thursday evening. We will additionally participate in the Maundy Thursday Commemorative.

The Friday evening banquet will once again be held at the Baker City Elks Lodge. Ladies and significant others are warmly invited to join us for this special occasion. The official dress for dinner will be tuxedo or suit and tie. Prayer caps will not be required for the banquet.

We are honored to welcome the Grand Master of A.F. & A.M. of Oregon, MWBr Mark L. Strong, as well as Ill Br Richard Komraus, 33°, S.G.I.G., Orient of Oregon, Supreme Council, Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A.

Finally, if you know of a Master Mason seeking further light in Masonry, this Reunion is an excellent opportunity to invite him to join us.

I look forward to seeing you in Baker City.

Ill. Bro. Timothy J. Best 33°, PGM
