YOUR SCOTTISH RITE NEWS

Welcome to The Rite Start!

Brothers-

Please be sure to add our email address,  enews@ritestart.org to your trusted list. I have received numerous messages that the Rite Start has not been delivered. Additionally, GMail cuts off most of the message. There is a link at the bottom of each mail that allows users to view the entire message. If there are any questions, please feel free to send us an email.

Remember that the Rite Start is part of your Scottish Rite website, as well, and can be viewed on-line at http://www.ritestart.org/news/ .

Fraternally,

Jared Hargrave
Editor

THE SCOTTISH RITE CREED

Human progress is our cause, liberty of thought our supreme wish, freedom of conscience our mission, and the guarantee of equal rights to all people everywhere our ultimate goal.

CONGRATULATIONS!————————————————————————————
  Thanks to the efforts of Brothers Mike Lockwood and Frank Kaffenberger, the Valley of Kansas City was recently featured on the Orient Of Missouri's website. Thanks to their support for the Master Craftsman program, the reunions have been a time to expose our new and current members to the education program. Take a moment to read the article, http://scottishrite.org/2012/04/kansas-city/ .

Please join me in congratulating our valley on being a leader in education!
HELP WANTED. HELP NEEDED.———————————————————————
‎Summer seems to have come early, very early. Now that the grass is green and the sun is blazing, there are many projects that need to be done. If you have even a spare second, please contact the office and lend a hand to our building. There is a renewed interest in the Rite and we need to make a presentable home to all. 

Some projects are very simple, while some are quite complex. Brothers, this is an opportunity to get to know others in the Valley, as well as leave a piece of yourself for the future generations to see. Contact the office at 816-561-2277 or email our office at secretary@srkc.org. Last resort, email me at jthargrave@att.net and let's get these projects under way!
STAND DOWN ANNOUNCED—————————————————————————
The Valley has been honored once again by being asked to host the Heart of America Stand Down. This fantastic event provides goods and services to our veterans in need. Last year, the Valley hosted thousands of people at the two day event. Take a moment to contact Gary Barron for more information and how to volunteer. 816-561-2277. The event will take place on June  8 and June 9.
CALL FOR ARTICLES————————————————————————————

 In our fraternity, the most important job that any of us can do is to spread the cement of brotherly love, relief, and truth. What does your club do? How does your club support the community, the Scottish Rite, or Freemasonry? Let your brothers know by simply sending an article to the Rite Start! Email the Rite Start at enews@ritestart.org, by phone at 816-561-2277, or by dropping an article by the Temple Office. Let the whole Valley know about your club!
