In the spirit of promoting unity among our Appendant Bodies, as well as our Symbolic Lodges, the Valley of Toledo has named its Spring Reunion in honor of Most Illustrious Stephen C. Hill, Grand Master of the Grand Council Royal and Select Masons of Ohio. In honor of this great event, our Sovereign Grand Commander of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction A.A.S.R., Illustrious David A. Glattly, has authorized the waiver of all initiation fees for all candidates who join our Valley at this Spring Reunion. Candidates should be aware, however, that they will be expected to pay dues in the Fall of 2019 for the 2020 year. The Spring Reunion will be held in the Clyde High School Auditorium in Clyde, OH on Saturday, March 30, 2019. 
Any Master Mason in good standing may improve his Masonic knowledge by petitioning the Scottish Rite and receiving five live degrees at this Reunion. Any potential candidate may obtain a petition online at www.scottishritenmj.org/join or by contacting any member or the Executive Secretary at 419-893-2942. 
Most Illustrious Grand Master Hill not only serves the Grand Council as its presiding officer, but he is also the Junior Warden of Northern Light Council, Princes of Jerusalem, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Valley of Toledo.

Brethren,
On Sunday August 19th, RWB Jess Raines will be presenting his Rollout program for the upcoming year.  The event will take place at the Lima Masonic Center starting at 2pm.  Ladies are welcome to attend the event.
I had the pleasure of attending the initial presentation several weeks ago.  I was impressed with the very well organized, concise, and informative program.  I would highly recommend that you attend if you can to hear about some of the exciting programs that will be discussed.
Fraternally,
Keith
