The Scottish Rite Valley of Fayetteville will be resuming in-person meetings for the month of March going forward.
 
Wednesday, March 3rd, the Van Buren Scottish Rite Club will meet for their monthly meeting at 6:30 pm.  Please come out and reconnect with our Brethren!!
 
The Valley of Fayetteville will resume its monthly stated meeting on March 24th at 7:00 pm.  We will have a meal beforehand at 6:00 pm.
 
Brethren, we will be getting out feet back on the ground and getting the Valley back into operating shape.  I want to encourage all of you that can make it to the meetings to please be in attendance.  Each of you are a valued member of the Valley and we will need each of you to build back our Valley to what it was "pre-Covid".
 
I look forward to seeing each of you that can make it to our stated meetings!!  We will be following all protocols laid out by the Grand Master's edicts and ADH  guidelines.

We're excited to announce that we WILL be meeting this month for our Stated Meeting on July 22nd!!  It has been a very long time since we've seen each other and we are excited to see each of you!
 
We will be meeting in Fayetteville at Washington Lodge #1.  Meal at 6pm and Opening at 7 pm.  We will be following the protocols that the Grand Master of Arkansas and Worshipful Master of Washington Lodge #1 have put forth.  If you are feeling ill, in any way, or not willing to "chance it", PLEASE STAY HOME!!  We want you around for a long time!!
 
We originally had scheduled our July stated meeting to be held at Van Buren Lodge #6.  However, with everything that has gone on in the world recently, we feel that it would be best to get back on our feet this month and reschedule our meeting in Van Buren at a later date this year.  Details to come on this.
 
Our meeting this month will primarily consist of getting our plan together for the remainder of the year.  I am sure that everyone can agree that the year 2020 has been one full of a lot "new" things that we are all having to deal with.  We have 4 regular stated meetings scheduled for the remainder of this year.  This will remain our focus this year.
 
With the uncertainty of the 2020 year and not knowing what restrictions or other implications we may be faced with, we are going to cancel the 2020 Fall Reunion scheduled for October 11th this year.  I can assure you my Brethren, that this decision did not come easy.  We all love and look forward to our Reunions and is the highlight of the year for many of us.
 
With that being said, we will focus all our intentions on putting on a spectacular Reunion in April of 2021.  I believe that this will be a better situation for all involved and produce a memorable experience for our candidates.
 
If anyone needs anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to myself or our Secretary, Bro. Bryon Spellor, if we can help out in any way.  
 
We look forward to seeing all of you soon!!
Bro. Andrew Morrison, 32 KCCH

It is with pleasure that I can say that the Valley of Fayetteville executed an excellent Fall reunion! The Valley was able to initiate six new brothers into the Scottish Rite. The following degrees were performed to the highest standards:

4th degree - Secret Master
5th degree - Perfect Master
13th degree - Royal Arch of Solomon
14th degree - Perfect Elu
18th degree - Knight Rose Croix
30th degree - Knight of Kadosh
32nd degree - Master of the Royal Secret

As you may know, it takes a lot of effort to plan, organize and execute an event like this.  A special thanks to all of the brothers that assisted in the success of our reunion.  Degree teams, stage crew, educators, kitchen crew, organizers and most importantly, our candidates all deserve our most esteemed appreciation!

Stay connected with the Valley of Fayetteville over the upcoming months.  The Valley will be meeting every month and is already planning our upcoming Spring Reunion.  If you would like to participate or you would like more information about the Scottish Rite, Valley of Fayetteville; please check our calendar of events or inquire directly!

Thanks again brethren!  See you soon.
