The Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in the Valley of Cleveland will hold the semi-annual Scottish Rite Reunion on Friday, November 22nd and Saturday, November 23rd in the Cleveland Masonic Center, 3615 Euclid Avenue in Downtown Cleveland. 

Illustrious Everett W. Allen has been designated as the Fall 2002 Class Honoree.

The reunion begins at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, November 22nd with the conferral of the Degrees of Eliadah Lodge of Perfection, namely the 13th &14th Degree, Master of the Ninth Arch and Grand Elect Mason.

Prior to the evening’s festivities, free hot dogs, chips, pickles, chips, soft drinks and coffee will be served to members of the Valley and visiting Scottish Rite brethren from other valleys.

The Reunion continues on Saturday, November 23rd with the conferring of the beautiful 15th and 16th degrees of Bahurim Council, Princes of Jerusalem.

Coffee and sweet rolls will be served in the Banquet Hall prior to the open- continued on page 23continued from page 1ing, Knight of the East or Sword and Prince of Jerusalem followed by the 17th and 18th degrees of Ariel Chapter, Rose Croix, Knight of the East and West and Knight of the Rose Croix. The Reunion concludes with the 21st Degree, Patriarch Noachite, of Lake Erie Consistory, and the finale of the reunion, the meaningful 32nd degree, Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret.

The pageantry and staging of Valley of Cleveland Reunions is unsurpassed in the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of Scottish Rite Masonry if not the entire world. Support your elected and appointed officers as they continue to impress upon the Fall Class of Candidates the valuable lessons of Scottish Rite Masonry.

We also invite the Sublime Princes of the Spring Class to attend the Fall Reunion to receive more light in your travels through Masonry. The important lessons taught in the degrees to be presented will be a lasting memory that you will recall every reunion you attend. Mark your calendars now and plan to be one of the brethren welcomed by your Scottish Rite brethren.

If you know of a possible candidate for the Fall Class, please call the Secretary’s office for a petition or clip out the petition on page 7 and 8 of this issue of the Scottish Rite News. The $100 fee includes the candidate’s initiation fee, his lunch, and his first year’s dues. Candidates under the age of 35 receive a discounted fee of $50 through a grant designated to the Valley of Cleveland.

We’d like to see the auditorium filled for the Fall reunion. Call a friend and ask him to go down to 3615 Euclid Avenue on November 22 and 23 to see one or all of the degrees to be presented, recognize the service of Illustrious Everett W. Allen to the Valley of Cleveland, and help welcome The Valley of Cleveland’s newest Sublime Princes into Scottish Rite Masonry.
