If you are younger than 75 we have memberships for $800.00, that’s only a little over 12 years worth of dues. No matter how you look at it, perpetual membership is a good deal for both the member and the Valley. If you’re interested, contact your Secretary, payment plans can be arranged.   Valley Job Openings Are you looking for something to do in your Scottish Rite Valley. Maybe Ritual work is not your strong suit. We can use your help taking a part or serving in a backup position and in other ways. We have openings in such areas as newsletter editor, helping with the newsletter mailing, library, helping with Degree communication, sound and lights as well as Ritual work. We could also use help from time to time with maintenance or yard work. Let the Secretary know of your interest and we will work out a place for you to participate. The point is that no matter what your talent we want you to get involved.
