Greetings Brethren,
I am honored for the opportunity to take on the role of Membership Committee Chairman and I am excited about the great potential that awaits us at the Portland Valley. Membership is one of my passions here at the Scottish Rite, and I’m looking forward to working together to bring in new candidates for the reunions, as well as reaching out and engaging our existing members. I am so proud to be a Scottish Rite Mason in the Portland Valley and I know you all share that same pride. Joining the Scottish Rite will always be one of the best decisions I have ever made. The future of the Portland Valley rests on our collective shoulders, and it is up to each one of us to contribute to its growth and success.
If you are interested in being on the Membership Committee, helping out with Blue Lodge visitations; being a Blue Lodge Ambassador; making phone calls or if you have ideas or suggestions, we want to hear from you!
I look forward to working with you to ensure the health and vitality of our Portland Valley for many years to come.
Thank you.
Fraternally,
Bryan Witt 32°
Membership Committee Chairman
Portland Valley Scottish Rite
