Dear Brothers,
Nearly my entire career as a Scottish Rite Mason in the Portland Valley has been dedicated to keeping our historic building. Believe me when I say that everyone on the Executive Board is equally dedicated and has fought very hard as well.
Today, I spoke with our S.G.I.G and asked if he would allow me to give the decision regarding the sale of our historic building to the membership and he has graciously allowed me as the PR of the Portland Valley to make that decision.
On Tuesday we will present what we are up against financially and allow our membership to vote on this difficult decision to keep or sale our building.
Let me state that regardless of how the vote on Tuesday goes, I am dedicated to serving our membership to the best of my ability and in whatever capacity I’m allowed to do so. I have never forgotten that I work for you my brothers and I know that you put a great deal of trust in me and the Portland Valley leadership to ensure that we are here for many years to come.
I would like to give great thanks to our S.G.I.G. and the Executive Board for all of their hard work and support on this issue. They have all worked tirelessly and had a lot of sleepless nights regarding this issue and they deserve our gratitude for their efforts.
I look forward to seeing all Portland Valley Scottish Rite members on Tuesday for this historic vote.
Spes mea in Deo est
