My Brethren, the roll of the workmen has been called, and one Master Mason, David E. Granum, 32°, has not answered to his name. He has laid down the working tools of the Craft and with them he has left that mortal part for which he no longer has use. Brother David passed on 10/23/2014 at the age of 92. A private ceremony has been planned for the immediate family.

Fraternal greetings from the Portland Valley Membership Committee.

We are delighted to announce that as of October 16th, we have received 14 petitions for our upcoming Fall Reunion in November, and anticipate 2-3 more before the end of this month. We are also conferring courtesy degrees for at least 7 petitioners from Vancouver, Salem and Eugene Valleys. This should be the largest reunion class we’ve had in several years.

Our membership committee has attended 12 Blue Lodge visitations and have handed out several petitions and spoke with countless brothers about the benefits of membership at the Portland Valley. Our visitations have renewed interest in the Scottish Rite among new brothers as well as existing Scottish Rite brethren.

We are having a Setting Maul Dinner on Tuesday October 28th. Please join us at 5:30PM for social hour in the members lounge, followed by dinner, speakers and a presentation from our flagship charity, the Oregon Speech and Language Clinics. (KidTalk) This is a great opportunity to meet the new petitioners and welcome them into the Scottish Rite. I really hope to see as many of you as possible both at the Setting Maul Dinner and the Fall Reunion.

I want to personally thank the following brothers who have devoted time and energy to the Membership Committee to ensure our success.

Rick Komraus, 32° KCCH
Nathan Neff 32°
Kent Cox, 32° KCCH
Ill. Duane Hugulet, 33°
Paul Blackburn, 32° KCCH
Bruce Kent, 32°
John Kirk, 32°

I also want to thank the many brothers who have given advice, recommendations and suggestions on how to strengthen our valley and promote the Scottish Rite to ensure our vitality. Please feel free to reach out to me or any of the brothers on the Membership Committee, as we are always looking for assistance with the promotion of our beloved Scottish Rite.

It’s truly a pleasure to serve our valley in this capacity.

Fraternal Regards,
Bryan Witt 32°
