Medford Valley Scottish Rite Hosted a Chamber of Commerce Greeter

Posted on

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.

For the Oration Br. Myers shared his heartfelt experiences with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates program), a truly great charitable outreach to our community’s youth. Click here for more info about this great program https://www.casahelpskids.org/.

The Brethren even engaged in the ages old Masonic tradition of singing a rousing rendition of the Table Lodge Closing Song! Keep an eye out for upcoming meetings where the Valley may just make this a more regular tradition.
