Quarterly Meeting and Election

 The Des Moines Consistory was opened tonight for the Quarterly Meeting and Election.  New chairs have added to the comfort for the Brethren attending the meetings. 

The Brothers had a Taco Dinner before the meeting and had a chance to visit with one another.

 Following the Registrar's report which showed that the Valley has 1288 members with 25 new 32 degree Masons this year.  If all dues are paid we will have a year with a net gain which is a very good thing for the Valley

 Registrar Harshbarger gave a report about the Biennial Session which you can see at this link. 

 Shane also reported that the Supreme Council is now in amity with the Ancient, Accepted Scottish Rite 33 degree Southern Jurisdiction Prince Hall Masons.
