Medford Valley Scottish Rite Hosted a Chamber of Commerce Greeter
The Medford Valley Scottish Rite was host to the Medford Chamber of Commerce Group on December 5, 2019 at the Medford Scottish Rite Center.
The event was an opportunity for the Medford Valley to show the members and vendors attending our multifunctional facility the possibility of booking a worthy venue for their future promotional, business, educational or recreational events. The Medford Valley Scottish Rite is an active member of the Medford Chamber and we are committed to expanding our potential revenue generation by offering our facility to the community as a potential event venue.
The Medford Valley Scottish is becoming known in the Medford Community as an active member of the Chamber and our facility has continued to generate interest. It is our hope that the Scottish Rite will also create interest in our fraternity as the general public gets to know us and the values, principles, virtues and the brotherhood we espouse.
A great time was had by all and everyone enjoyed the opportunity to view our facility and meet with our Building Manager Brother Ed Davis.
Many promising leads were generated for potential future events here at the Medford Scottish Rite Center.
Fraternally,
Bruce A. Kundert, 32° K.C.C.H.

Roseburg Honors David Hopkins 32°, KCCH
Our Valley Secretary, Brother David Hopkins 32°, KCCH, was invested with the rank and title of Knight Commander of the Court of Honour at a special ceremony last night at an open meeting of the Roseburg Valley Consistory of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry at the Roseburg Masonic Building.
An extremely rare and well-attended ceremonial investiture for a man who has made Roseburg home for his family. Congratulations Commander David Hopkins, the newest member of the Knight Commander of the Court of Honour.
Br. David w
as Knighted by Illustrious Brother Gary Kuney 33°, Active Sovereign Grand Inspector General of Oregon. This is a very rare investiture because the event is typically held biannually at the Portland Valley Temple. Because of Br. Hopkins profession as a Funeral Director he could not attend that event so tonight’s ceremony was just for Br. David.
David has been singled out for this honor because of his commitment to duty and honor, his devotion to the principles of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, and his exceptional display as a good citizen and father. Let’s face it: David is a really great guy!
Here David is kneeling while Mrs. Hopkins watches as Illustrious Brother Gary Kuney shakes Davis’s hand at the end the actual Knighting moment.
