ConsistoryBrother-to-Brother, our number one priority for 2010-2011 and beyond.
The Hospitaler holds a critical role in assisting a Valley in achieving a successful overall brother-to-brother effort...
I am pleased to announce that Reverend and Brother Allan Ferguson has agreed to take the position of Hospitaler for the Valley of Syracuse. Brother Ferguson is a Past Master of Cortlandville Lodge #470 and Commander of Cortland Commandery #50 Knights Templar. We anticipate that his name will be placed in nomination for the office of Most Wise Master for Central City Chapter of Rose Croix... Please feel free to email Allan at ajferguson@odessey.com with any care and concern you wish to communicate (please feel free to call the Scottish rite at 315-452-9679 office as well.)
Lest we forget” We are starting to plan for the 6th annual Valley of Syracuse, Veteran’s Day Dinner and Awards Ceremony which will be held on November 9th. The Valley is now accepting nominations for Veteran of the year for both a Mason and non Mason who has served with distinction during a period of military conflict or in a war. The Masonic Vet should be an active member in good standing. The non Masonic vet should be of high character and one who contributes to the community.
Nominations should be forwarded to Thomas E. Santmyer, Jr., 1345 Oak St, Syracuse NY 13203 or to Masonic Memorial Center, AASR Office, 648 Centerville Place, North Syracuse, NY 13212-2366. The nomination letter should include the nominee’s name, address and phone number along with as much detail on the nominee as possible. Please make sure you include your name address and phone number.

Chapter
Greetings Brethren, On behalf of the Chapter of Rose Croix, I hope everyone that is planning on going to New Jersey for the 23 Degree has been successful in getting a ride, and made reservations. I am very excited about this venture. The USS New Jersey is so rich in Naval history. I plan on getting all of the information I can on this trip. It will make a great presentation in Lodge some night.
Tim McMullin, MSA, and currently Most Wise Master, from The Valley of Binghamton and his “crew” are planning on coming to Syracuse and doing the 17th Degree for us on May 17th. In the event that they have to cancel, an alternative program will be substituted.
This year is winding down fast, and our summer will fly by even faster. On membership, now is the time for us to be lining up new Candidates. September will be here before we know it, and it would be a great send off for our new Officers to present them with a large Class.
Please send in your dues, and don’t forget your Blue Lodge.
Brother Dick Freeman, 32°, Most Wise Master

Greetings from the Council Princes of Jerusalem.
The month of April included the presentation of the 31st and 32nd degrees at Utica and was hosted by the Valley of Utica. The degrees presented in concert with another Valley, in a different lodge setting, is always interesting and exposes the members and the candidates to a taste of the breadth and depth of the our fraternity. A hearty welcome to the new members of the 32nd degree. The Reunion Dinner also occurred in the month of April. This dinner includes the wives and other guests. It was, as usual, an enjoyable event.
The month of May will kickoff with a rehearsal for the presentation of the 17th degree. Rehearsals are very important in order to present the degree in the best way possible on the night of the event. This is a degree that has not been presented before by this Valley. The cast has put a lot into this effort and I hope there is a good member turnout to experience the degree. The degree will be presented the night of May 17th.
May 10th is the Guards Club Dinner and Annual Meeting. This event is always enjoyable and informative. I look forward to seeing you there.
