The Spring Reunion is fast approaching and now is the time to start handing out petitions at your Blue Lodge and start brushing up on your part for the degrees.
Most of the directors have provided the schedules of practices and they are posted to the calendar so be sure to check it for dates and times. There are still cast parts open in some degrees so anyone interested in a part contact the Scottish Rite Office for director contact information.
There is also critical need for volunteers to assist the Rose Croix in reorganizing the wardrobe room as it needs to be completed well in advance of the reunion. Please contact the Wise Master Chris Foleen for more information on when they need help next.
For the reunion there is a need for volunteers as greeters both days, also help with setting up starting at noon on Friday and a building clean up crew for Saturday evening. If you are interested in supporting the Rite in this capacity contact the Office for more information.
The reunion schedule and times of the degrees will be published shortly when available.
It is never to early to RSVP for dinner and lunch for the reunion so, if you already know you will be here, call or email the Office right away at 503-226-7827 or email officemanager@portlandsr.com .

Upcoming Events
Happy New Year brethren!
The Portland Valley Membership Committee is gearing up for our Spring Reunion which will be Friday and Saturday, April 10th and 11th, 2015. After such a large reunion class last fall, and the renewed interest in the Scottish Rite Degrees, we are excited about another successful reunion in the Spring.
Your Membership Committee will be busy scheduling Blue Lodge visitations to promote the benefits of membership in the Scottish Rite, and we would love your help! Blue Lodge visitations will start the last week of February and go all through the month of March. If you are interested in joining us with some Blue Lodge Visitations, or want us to come to your Blue Lodge, get in touch with me or contact Nate in the office.
If you know of a brother who is interested in joining the Scottish Rite, give him a petition! All Scottish Rite brethren should carry a petition on them at all times in case they meet a curious brother. Also suggest that he look at our website where he can download a petition online.
There is so much more to Freemasonry and we have such a special brotherhood at the Scottish Rite, it would be a shame for any Master Mason not to experience it.
**The next Membership Committee meeting will be on Tuesday February 24th at 7:30PM, after the Scottish Rite University.
Please contact me anytime if you would like to get involved, and check the website calendar regularly for updates on events, degrees and meetings.
The 24th Degree will be conferred on Tuesday February 17th, and we hope to see you all there! Don’t forget to call or email the office with your dinner reservations no later than Noon the day before.
I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday, the “Rite” night!
