May 2026
Wow! We are almost halfway through 2026! I guess time flies when you are busy and
having fun. For the last 4 months, the Valley of San Diego has certainly been busy. This
month will be no exception.
Our Stated Meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 6th and will showcase our unity
with the “Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.” We will be honoring Al Bahr Shrine during the
dinner portion of the evening. This is an annual event for us, and I hope you will be able
to attend. Please make your reservations now through this website or by calling the
office.
The next event on our schedule is our annual Honored Ladies Luncheon, where we will
have food and entertainment for the ladies of our Valley whose husbands and/or
significant others have gone home to the Celestial Lodge above. This is scheduled for
Friday, May 15th at 12:00 noon. We thank the officers of the Council of Kadosh for
making this luncheon happen.
​
On Wednesday, May 27 th, we will have our quarterly SGIG Advisory Conference, which is open to all our members. If you are interested in knowing what is going on in your Valley, I suggest you attend this event. Please call the office and make reservations so we will know how much food to prepare. It is always a fun and informative meeting.
Lastly, our Spring Reunion will start with an orientation on Friday, May 29th followed by the exemplification of the five obligatory degrees on Saturday, May 30th. We can always use more candidates and members. So, if you know anyone who may want to join our Scottish Rite Valley, please let them know to sign up ASAP. They can apply through this website, or they can get an application form at the office. This is the Illustrious Jerrold Wohlfarth, 33° and Honorable Sheldon Berman, KCCH Spring Class. For the meals during this reunion, please make your reservations now through this website or by
calling the office.
