Scottish Rite Express

Join Us Saturday Evening to Celebrate the Craft at Shepheard's Tavern         Saturday, May 17th is the Supreme Council's "Celebrating the Craft" event.  It is hosted at the House of the Temple in Washington, DC.  However, there are many ways to participate in the event without going to Washington, DC. The Des Moines Valley will be hosting a "Shepheard's Tavern" social from 5 pm to 7 pm in the Tapestry Room of our Scottish Rite building (519 Park Street).  Shepheard's Tavern was the inn where the first Scottish Rite meetings were held.  We host Shepheard's Tavern events as purely a social occasion.  We will have snacks, drinks, and will be broadcasting the Celebrating the Craft event on the big screen for all to enjoy.  There is no cost to attend.  This event is open to all Scottish Rite Masons, their family and friends. "Celebrating the Craft" has music, comedy, magic, celebrities, never-before-seen video from the House of the Temple and Valleys across the country, and so much more! If you can't join us in person in Des Moines or journey to Washington DC you can watch it online at Scottishrite.org from 5 pm to 11 pm.    ___________________________________________________     Under Construction - 2014       As we introduced at the recent "Friends of the Des Moines Consistory" our major project for 2014 is the replacement of the fly roof.  This is the area over the extreme north end of the auditorium above the big fancy columns where the backdrops are located.  This project began on May 9th and will continue throughout the month of May and possibly into June.  Please note, when parking in the lot behind our building you will need to park at the extreme north end.  This will allow the contractors full access to the roof at all times.  Please contact Shane Harshbarger 515-288-8927 should you have questions or concerns.       _________________________________________________    MARK YOUR   CALENDAR!    One Day Reunion June 28, 2014   Do you know of someone who would make a good candidate?
