The 2010 Fall Reunion for the Valley of Roanoke was held in St. Paul, VA on October 30th. For the first time ever the Degree team for the 4th Degree and the 1st Apartment of the 30th Degree was comprised of Scottish Rite Masons from the immediate area in Southwestern Virginia. This program, "Taking Reunions on the Road", has been an enormous success, creating 114 Masters of the Royal Secret in the past five Reunions!
A big "Thank You" to Illustrious Jim Bay, 33° IGH, for returning to our area from Indiana for the weekend to assist our new Director of Work, Bruce Lupton, with setting up and running the Reunion. Jim will be sorely missed in the future.
