October 2024
Well, here it is finally. October. The last quarter of the year. As usual, we continue toexperience the hot days, but we are hoping that things will start to cool down soon.Our Scottish Rite Valley is going to be busy this month. In our October Stated Meeting,we knighted the new Knights of the Double Eagle and rewarded the existing knightswith their additional points and awards. It was a grand affair! Kudos to Honorable DougFord, KCCH, and his committee for making this event happen.
On Wednesday, October 9 th, we will be hosting our Annual Scottish Rite InformationNight. We will have dinner at 6:00pm followed by an informative presentation. If you arenot yet a Scottish Rite Mason and would like more information on what we do inScottish Rite, then this evening is for you.

Our Fall Class/Reunion is happening on October 18th and 19th. This will be followed by our New Member Orientation on October 30th.
Lastly, please do not forget to support our RiteCare Childhood Language Center when they sponsor The Traitor play on Saturday, November 9th. This is a fundraiser benefiting our CLC and features dinner and a play. Please see details on this website.

The Scottish Rite Center
Enjoy some photos of the Scottish Rite Center as it came to life over years of planning and construction. We will add more as each room is furnished and begins to fulfill its purpose.
We expect this building to serve the San Diego Masonic community for a very long time.
The Traitor Play
The Traitor Play is a unique Masonic interpretation of the relationship between George Washington and Benedict Arnold. Benedict Arnold is possibly the most famous traitor in American History. We all learned about him in school as well as the mighty deeds of George Washington.
The play focuses on impact of his treason on his Masonic principles, his relationship with Washington, the famous American statesman and general, and a search for forgiveness.
The amount of effort and rehearsal to perfect this presentation is impressive. We wanted to present it again in our new building within a real Lodge Room, not a stage. The play is preceded by a Beef Wellington dinner with the cast in costume and character. You may find George Washington sitting at your table and discussing his view of the world. The CLC Board of Directors will also be in period costumes. Feel free to wear your best red, white, and blue!
This is a fundraiser for the RiteCare Childhood Language Clinic of San Diego. All proceeds will go towards meeting our annual financial goals. This is our last fundraiser of the year. Please make a reservation today and help us make this a sell-out event.
