Des Moines Valley History about to be made!
We are quickly approaching a major accomplishment for the Des Moines Valley. This weekend the members of the Des Moines Scottish Rite, along with our families, friends, and 13 great candidates will celebrate performing all 29 Scottish Rite degrees and honor two outstanding Scottish Rite Masons, Charles W. Iles 32° KCCH and Bobby E. Rice 32° KCCH.
This historic event is the result of many hours and years of hard work and commitment to Scottish Rite Freemasonry. It certainly proves that Freemasonry is Brotherhood.
We will begin on Friday night with dinner at 5:00 pm in the Tapestry Room. Our kitchen krew will be hard at work preparing Minute Steaks with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and apple crisp. Cost is $10.
After dinner we will continue our journey through the Council of Kadosh degrees, the 23rd to the 26th. These degrees are the philosophical degrees of the Kadosh degrees where the philosophy of Judaism, Islam and Christianity are introduced.
