Derby, 32° KCCH and Karl H. Killinger, 32° KCCH. Bob and Karl were both longtime active members of the Scottish Rite. Bob was involved in ritual and the workshop crews, while Karl was active with the Scottish Rite band. The banquet will be held in the Tapestry Lounge at 7:00 pm. Social hour will begin immediately following the 32nd degree, approximately 6:15-6:30 pm. We have a nice class of candidates lined up for the reunion, which will portray nine of the Scottish Rite degrees: the 4th, 9th, 10th, 14th, 18th, 21st, 28th, 30th, 32nd. This is an easy way to see a number of the degrees in a shortened format. If you have a candidate, it is not too late but we need the petition by Wednesday. Please call the office should you have a candidate that you would like to include. The dinner features stuffed pork loin and tiramisu for dessert. The cost for the dinner is $13 per person. However, we need your reservation as soon as possible. Make your reservation by calling the SR office at 515-288-8927 or email rsvp@dmscottishrite.org. Following dinner will be our first ever Winter Dance party. It will begin in the Grand Banquet room at 8:30 pm and will feature the R&B/Jazz band "One Night Stand". They play a great mix of music from the Commodores, Miles Davis, The Temptations to The Eagles and George Throgood. They have been recognized by Cityview as one of Des Moines' best bands for the last three years. Even if you can't make the banquet...come for the party. There is no cost to attend the winter dance party. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday! Shepheard's Tavern - February 16 The Shepheard's Tavern society is a chance for Scottish Rite Masons and their friends to enjoy the company and fellowship of Masonry. The meetings are held throughout the year but most often just prior to a Scottish Rite Reunion. The purpose is two-fold to socialize and introduce prospective members to Free Masonry. We are pleased to invite you to enjoy snacks and a libation with us as your schedule allows. We will be gathering on February 16 from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm in the Consistory Library. Robert E.
