March 2026
The Scottish Rite Valley of San Diego welcomes you to our website this wonderful
month of March! San Diego March weather is starting out warm and wonderful! I think
we have had enough of the cold and rain. Spring is surely in the horizon!
This month, our stated meeting on March 4th will honor the committees that serve our
Valley. The members of these committees work hard to make our Valley the “best in the
west.” Without them and their dedication, this Valley cannot function properly. I hope that you will be able to attend this meeting to help us honor them properly.
​
Our Valley is awash with excitement as we plan on celebrating America 250 – the
United States Semiquincentennial – the 250 th Anniversary of the Declaration of
Independence. We will be sponsoring an All-Masonic Picnic on June 20th, 2026. All of our
San Diego Masonic organizations are invited to participate in this celebration. Save the
date and stay tuned for more details to come.
​
The Chapter of Rose Croix is busy this month preparing for the upcoming Extinguishing and Relighting of the Lights Ceremonies in the first week of April. In addition, the degree teams are starting their practices for the Spring Reunion in May.
Yes, March will be a busy month for sure. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.
