<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On behalf of the Trustees of the Des Moines Consistory Building Trust, I am pleased to announce a huge opportunity for our spectacular Consistory Building. We have been challenged by the WT and Edna Dahl Foundation to raise $100,000.00 for the renovation of the Dahl Grand Banquet room and kitchen areas.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">When we are successful, the WT and Edna Dahl Foundation will match our fund-raising with a grant of $100,000.00. This challenge grant is good for one year. This exciting opportunity means every dollar you donate to the DMCBT will be doubled due to this amazing offer.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We are posting this today, to ensure you have a chance to make a donation in 2018 or 2019 as you so desire.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Below is a picture of the planned renovations to the WT and Edna Dahl Grand Banquet room. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see, it will involve new painting and lighting, as well as updating the marble look of the pillars.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><img border="0" hspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.410" src="https://ecp.yusercontent.com/mail?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffiles.constantcontact.com%2Fec3efaad001%2F2ef994d1-7016-4869-8f26-9822f1674c8f.jpg&t=1542743542&ymreqid=b8a3ba7f-23cd-e56f-2f82-300081010000&sig=FuqzRRMUErReAJOR1cwBjA--~C" style="visibility: visible;" vspace="5" width="400" /><br /></span><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the most important aspects of this grant is to involve every one of our 1089 members in the Des Moines Scottish Rite bodies. This means that no donation is considered too small or inconsequential. Therefore, we are asking each member to consider making some sort of contribution. We would like to show 100% of our members want to preserve our historic Consistory building.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">An additional way that you can participate is make a monthly donation via credit card. We have the ability to charge your debit or credit card each month. A couple of amounts that we would suggest are $83.33 per month equaling $1000 for the campaign or $32 per month to represent the 32 degrees of the Scottish Rite.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can make your donation by calling the office (515-288-8927) or by mailing your check payable to the Des Moines Consistory Building Trust (519 Park Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50309).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">

<span style="color: black;"><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">You may feel your contributions were small or just part of being a Scottish Rite Mason but to us, the officers of the Des Moines Scottish Rite, they deserve recognition. Therefore, we would like you to be our guest at the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.28px;">2018 Membership Awards Dinner to be held on July 31, 2018.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.28px; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">At the dinner, we will be recognizing those who have contributed in a special way. We will be awarding the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.28px;">Primus Inter Pares "PIP" Award</span><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">. PIP is short for </span><span style="font-style: italic; line-height: 21.28px;">"PRIMUS INTER PARES", </span><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">a Latin phrase meaning "first among equals". It is given to someone who works behind the scenes to help make our reunions a success. We will also present the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.28px;">Loring Parker Award</span><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">. It is given for outstanding degree performance or ritual work. Another award that will be presented is the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.28px;">Blosser award</span><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">. This award goes to the person who first line signed the most petitions in the previous year. The last award to be presented will be the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.28px;">Outstanding New Member Award</span><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">. It will be given to a Scottish Rite Mason who has been a member less than 18 months and has contributed in an outstanding manner.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
<div style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.28px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.28px;">This event is open only to members of the Des Moines Scottish Rite. We will begin with social hour at 5:45 pm, dinner at 6:30 pm, followed by the awards presentations. The parking lot north of the building will be open at 5:30 pm.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">You may feel your contributions were small or just part of being a Scottish Rite Mason but to us, the officers of the Des Moines Scottish Rite, they deserve recognition. Therefore, we would like you to be our guest at the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.28px;">2018 Membership Awards Dinner to be held on July 31, 2018.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
<div style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.28px; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="line-height: 21.28px;">At the dinner, we will be recognizing those who have contributed in a special way. We will be awarding the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.28px;">Primus Inter Pares "PIP" Award</span><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">. PIP is short for </span><span style="font-style: italic; line-height: 21.28px;">"PRIMUS INTER PARES", </span><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">a Latin phrase meaning "first among equals". It is given to someone who works behind the scenes to help make our reunions a success. We will also present the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.28px;">Loring Parker Award</span><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">. It is given for outstanding degree performance or ritual work. Another award that will be presented is the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.28px;">Blosser award</span><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">. This award goes to the person who first line signed the most petitions in the previous year. The last award to be presented will be the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.28px;">Outstanding New Member Award</span><span style="line-height: 21.28px;">. It will be given to a Scottish Rite Mason who has been a member less than 18 months and has contributed in an outstanding manner.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.28px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.28px;">This event is open only to members of the Des Moines Scottish Rite. We will begin with social hour at 5:45 pm, dinner at 6:30 pm, followed by the awards presentations. The parking lot north of the building will be open at 5:30 pm.</span></div>

Our 2018 One Day Reunion honoring Henry A. Dunlap, 33° is just around the corner, in fact it begins next <strong style="font-size: 16pt;">Saturday morning (June 30th) at 8:00 a</strong><strong style="font-size: 16pt;">m</strong><span style="font-size: 16pt;">.

One of the great things about a </div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 16pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
One-Day reunion is that it gives the Valley a chance to feature a couple of degrees in addition to the five mandatory degrees.</div>

<div align="left" style="font-size: 16pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Our Supreme Council requires all candidates to receive the 4th, 14th, 18th, 30th, and 32nd degrees. With the exception of the 4th, these are the terminal degrees of each of the four Scottish Rite bodies and officially enroll our new candidates as a member of that particular body.</span></div>

These degrees are completely different from one another but have some great lessons and teachings.</span></div>

It portrays the funeral of Hiram, the architect of King Solomon's Temple. The principal characters are Adoniram, who was appointed Chief Architect of the Temple; Zabud, the Prime Minister; King Solomon; and Hiram, King of Tyre. This degree teaches us to be industrious and honest. Our Grand Master Hiram Abif possessed both of these virtues, and at his death was honored for his faithful and steadfast adherence to those duties.</span></div>

This Degree introduces you to Sufi teachings and traditions, and gives us clues on h <img align="right" border="0" height="153" hspace="5" src="https://files.constantcontact.com/ec3efaad001/2fb5e065-deba-4cb3-9723-e0af654f9d5f.jpg" style="visibility: visible;" vspace="5" width="100" />ow this esoteric branch of Islam might help overcome the difficulties encountered in our attempts to advance as novitiates in the mysteries. </span></div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 16pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">It first asks us if we have truly performed all we have promised. In our Masonic careers we have assumed obligations to the performance of many duties. These obligations are real. If we have agreed to live by them and do not do so, we are hypocrites and dishonor the Fraternity. The Perfection that was idealized in the Fourteenth Degree reveals itself to be elusive, and the path to it requires constant attention.</span></div>

It portrays the funeral of Hiram, the architect of King Solomon's Temple. The principal characters are Adoniram, who was appointed Chief Architect of the Temple; Zabud, the Prime Minister; King Solomon; and Hiram, King of Tyre. This degree teaches us to be industrious and honest. Our Grand Master Hiram Abif possessed both of these virtues, and at his death was honored for his faithful and steadfast adherence to those duties.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">It first asks us if we have truly performed all we have promised. In our Masonic careers we have assumed obligations to the performance of many duties. These obligations are real. If we have agreed to live by them and do not do so, we are hypocrites and dishonor the Fraternity. The Perfection that was idealized in the Fourteenth Degree reveals itself to be elusive, and the path to it requires constant attention.</span></div>
