February 2026
Greetings and salutations! It is now February and for those keeping track of the Chinese
New Year, it will be the Year of the Horse. We wish you good health, wealth, and good
fortune. Gong hei fat choy!
For our Scottish Rite Valley, February means the celebration of Robbie Burns,
Scotland’s national poet. February 7 th , 2026, will be the Robert Burns Supper. This is
one of our major fundraising events for the RiteCare Childhood Language Center of San
Diego. We will have lots of fun (and some haggis!) and hope that you will be able
to attend.
Of course, the first Wednesday of the month is when we had our Stated Meeting. We
introduced the new crop of officers who will lead our Lodge of Perfection,
Chapter of Rose Croix, Council of Kadosh, and Consistory. I ask you to support these
brethren who have volunteered to do the work for our Valley.
​
Our first quarter SGIG Advisory Conference will be on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. This is open to only members of Scottish Rite. It starts with dinner at 6pm followed by a breakout session. You will want to attend if you want to know what is going on in our valley. Please make your reservations now by calling the office or through this website.
Please pass on this information to other members who you know do not have email access. If you have any questions, please contact the office via phone or email.
​
NOTE: As a member, if you have not been receiving emails from Scottish Rite and wish to do so, please provide us with your latest email address by calling the office.
Please stay safe and healthy.
