April 2024
Once April 1 st comes around, we should be getting ready for “April showers” that bring
“May flowers.” Fortunately (or unfortunately) we have been inundated with
March showers so much that the flowers are all coming out now. And how beautiful they
are! So, welcome to April 2024!
The Scottish Rite Valley of San Diego will be honoring Al Bahr Shriners in our April 3rd
Stated Meeting dinner. Most of us Scottish Rite Masons are also Shriners. This is a
great evening to show the unity that our fraternity embodies. Please help us support
the Shrine by attending this event on Wednesday, April 3 rd at 6:00 pm. Please make your reservations now through this website or by calling the office.
IAnother important event this month is the Masonic Information Night on Wednesday, April 24 th . It starts with a buffet dinner at 6:00 pm followed by a presentation on what Freemasonry is all about.
