All members should take a moment and think of what we want our Valley to accomplish next year. Officers should be planning but more importantly all members should be thinking about getting involved. We need more members involved by sharing your ideas, taking a part in a Degree or getting in one of the officer lines. If we are to have a great year we need more members to join in the fun and fellowship of the Scottish Rite.   2009 Officers
