Greetings!
First off I want to wish you and your families a very Happy Easter/Passover season. May this season fill your home with both love of family and friends and of course with peace.
Now, our Spring Reunion has concluded but we are far from being 'done' for the season. What's coming up you ask? Well, let me tell you about.

ANY Valley member who is interested in getting more active and involved are welcome and encouraged to attend. Which means YOU can attend!
Our Annual Conference has been lauded as one of the best Valley offered training programs in the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. It's fun and interactive. You will be engaged and never bored!
The doors open and coffee and doughnuts will be served at 7:30 AM. The Conference begins at 8:30 AM and will conclude at noon. The dress code is business casual.
