Brethren,
The Valley of Aroostook will be surrendering their charters in July.
I recommend joining one of the other Valleys. Your dues must be current to affiliate with the new valleys. You won’t be required to start paying dues to that valley until they new dues notices are sent out for the 2027 yr.
Let me know if you have any questions.

JOIN MAINE SCOTTISH RITE AND SHRINE

Only 18 days left to become a Maine 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason (in one of the six Maine Scottish Rite Valleys) and Shriner (in either Kora or Anah Shrine). Five Scottish Rite Degrees and the Shrine Ceremonial to be conferred on October 19th at Kora Shrine Temple, 11 Sabattus St., Lewiston. The first joint meeting in 12 years.

If you are a Master Mason, you are eligible to join both organizations in perhaps the most beautiful Shrine Center in America. And at reduced prices! If you are already a member, plan on attending and see some magnificent degrees and experience a great day of Masonic Fellowship.

If you are already a Scottish Rite Mason and/or Shriner, sponsor candidates to your Valley or Shrine Temple. See more information and applications in the latest Maine Mason magazine.

You may register as a candidate online at BeAShrinerNow.com and https://scottishritenmj.org/ All attendees need to make lunch and dinner reservations at [email protected] (for free lunch) and https://korashriners.org/event/kora-fall-ceremonial/ (for dinner $25).

Let's make this a great day to talk about for years. See you in Lewiston on October 19th.
