Spring Multi State Reunion to honor
 
SG IG Emeritus Harry S. Barrows, 33°
 
 
The 2016 Spring Reunion in honor of SGIG Emeritus Harry S. Barrows, 33°will feature degree teams from all over the Midwest.  Throughout the weekend we will have performances from degree teams from: Cedar Rapids, Sioux City, Omaha NE, Minneapolis MN, Kansas City and St. Joseph, Missouri. 
This special weekend will offer an opportunity to see different interpretations of our Scottish Rite degrees but it is also a chance to meet Scottish Rite Masons from other Valleys.  This reunion is designed to allow a candidate to become a Master of the Royal Secret in one weekend. 
The members of the Valley of Cedar Rapids will kick off the reunion with the 4th degree at 1:00 pm on Friday, April 8th.  The reunion will conclude on Saturday, April 9th with the 32nd degree and will be followed by a special Spring Gala in honor of Illustrious Brother Barrows.

What do I need to know?

All members of the Des Moines Valley are invited and encouraged to attend as we will be the hosts for our brothers from the other Valleys.
We will have several special guests including our SGIG Gary L. Sissel and the Grand Master of Masons in Iowa, Arthur G. Crandon.
Our candidates for Scottish Rite will have the same experience as a regular reunion and receive the same meals, books, pins, 14th degree pyramid, and certificates as always.  Cost is $325 for candidates which also includes two tickets to the Spring Gala.
It is especially hoped that our Scottish Rite members will fill the side lines during the degrees to see how other Valleys portray the degrees and support them for traveling to our event.
Dress for the reunion is coat, tie, and AASR cap.   Your lady is invited to attend the reunion gala and  Spring Party.  Cost is $25 per person
