The Medford Valley Scottish Rite celebrated the Feast of Tishri on October 21, 2019 with our fraternal family and friends at the Medford Scottish Rite Center.
The evening started with the members attending the Lodge of Perfection where we renewed our commitment to the principles and values of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.
After Lodge, PGM Art Borland, 32° K.C.C.H. began the Feast of Tishri Dinner and Toast Ceremony in the Dining Room. Illustrious Brother Jim Westerfield spoke of the significance of this Feast in history. The Brethren of the Medford Valley Scottish Rite then presented a series of proper toasts to eminent individuals followed by a delicious catered dinner and dessert.

This significant Feast is traditionally observed by the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite and was considered obligatory and especially significant to the Brother Masons of the Scottish Rite by the Supreme Council.
We are reminded of the Festival observed by the Israelites where, they gave thanks to God for the abundance of the harvest as well as offering prayers to Him to send new rains for the coming year.

We of the Scottish Rite also have much to be thankful for; the values, principles and virtues we espouse and the brotherhood and fellowship we share with our Brother Masons as well as; the grace given to us by the Deity that we have enjoyed this past year.
A great time was had by all and everyone enjoyed the delicious feast.

Many thanks to the Medford Chapter of the Knights of Saint Andrew for their support with the dinner service.

Fraternally,
Bruce A. Kundert, 32° K.C.C.H.

Greetings Brethren,

In news of the Orient; at the most recent August 2019 Supreme Council Biennial Session in Washington D.C. our Orient of Oregon Sovereign Grand Inspector General, Illustrious Brother Gary Kuney, 33°, received a distinctive honor and I would like to take a moment to share it with you.

During the course of the Session Ill. Bro. Gary was honored by the Sovereign Grand Commander of Costa Rica, Illustrious Brother Juan José Soto Cervantes, with the distinction of being acknowledged as an honorary member of the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree for the Republic of Costa Rica. Ill. Bro. Juan presented Ill. Bro. Gary with the above pictured medallion in recognition of this commendation. The Supreme Council of Costa Rica was originally chartered in 1871 and has been in accord for many years with our Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States.

Please join me in congratulating Illustrious Brother Gary for receiving this distinction from our Brethren in Costa Rica for his service to the Craft!

 

Please help us congratulate the new elected board members to the Oregon Scottish Rite Speech and Language Charity.
