Scottish Rite Brethren,
It has been a great experience communicating with everyone in the few short weeks that I have been in the Office of Deputy of the Supreme Council. Unfortunately, this has taken much longer than expected. While there are issues to resolve, I probably talk too much.
As soon as possible I would like all Valley General Secretaries to send me an up-to-date list with contact information for all their Valley’s Orient appointed officers (i.e., PR, Secretary, and Treasurer, and any of their assistants), as well as the Valley’s elected and appointed officers. We also need a calendar of the Valley’s events and regular Stated Meetings which will be added to and sent out as part of the Orient Google Calendar. If you have any questions, please let me know. It is very important to bring our communications into the Twentieth Century.
If any Valley needs training in any area which may include Sentinel, Google, or computer skills please let me know. If there is a need for new equipment, we will find a way to supply this.
I am pleased to announce that I have appointed Illustrious Brother Duane Hugulet, 33°, as the Orient Membership Chairman to help with increasing membership and retention across the Orient.
I know many Valleys will be “dark” over the summer months, if there is still an opportunity for me to visit with you, please let me know.
It is a great pleasure serving the Orient of Oregon and all our inspiring members.
Fraternally,
Rick Komraus
Deputy – Orient of Oregon
