My Brothers, Look what time it is….. It’s ONE MONTH – 30 DAYS – from our Spring Reunion!! APRIL 11 AND 12, 2026. What a great weekend that will be; renewing friendships, sharing the ritual of the AASR and experiencing the Masonic life of fellowship and brotherly love. Do you know what will make it even better? YOU! Having you there is what makes it a “Reunion”, so I can’t wait to see each of you, whether its to take part in a degree, assist with logistics of the degrees, helping in the kitchen or just to drop in and say hello – YOU are critical to the success of the weekend.

The second thing to make the Reunion a success is having new Master Mason join our ranks and be exposed to the lessons and teaching of the Scottish Rite. To have the brothers of your Lodge come and immerse themselves in more Light, ultimately being consecrated as Master of the Royal Secret. Please…. Reach out and encourage those of your Lodge to come and be a part our Valley. It’s a simple process to go to our website, srorlando.com, and fill out the online petition.

Lodge Ambassadors…this is your call to action to share this with your Lodge and be our cheerleader.

If you are looking for deeper knowledge of our ancient craft, we are starting two new Master Craftsmen course this month. See the details in this newsletter for details. Thanks to our wonderful instructors, Brothers Alex Darwich and Tracy Chastain for leading in the effort.

The committees to arrange our celebrations of the 225th Anniversary of the founding the AASR and of course our Nation’s 250th birthday are diligently working. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please let them know.   

That’s it for now….. see you on March 27th for our stated communication and again on APRIL 11 & 12 at the Reunion!
