The Valley of Lincoln is proud to welcome welcome two new Masters of the Royal Secret at the 2016 Reunion on Friday and Saturday, April 1st and 2nd.
We began the Reunion on Friday afternoon with the 4°, 14°, and 18°. On Saturday morning, we welcomed the candidates back with biscuits and gravy (and of course, donuts, the staple of a Scottish Rite Reunion diet), and resumed with the 29°, hosted by the Knights of St. Andrew, 30°, and 32°.
Afterward, the candidates received their Scottish Rite caps in an impressive capping ceremony, and were welcomed by the members at a reception. We are proud to call Alex Olson and Xiadong Yang our newest Scottish Rite brethren.
Our next Reunion is this Fall, and we welcome candidates who want to receive the degrees of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. In addition to receiving further light in Masonry through the impressive degrees, Scottish Rite Masons expand their social network of Masons and events in Nebraska, open doors to networking and leadership, and support the extraordinary work of the RiteCare Speech and Language Clinics.
