September 2026
September is finally here and hopefully, with it, the fall/cool weather! August was
certainly warm here in San Diego but it was still a wonderful summer. I hope your
summer was just as good.
The Scottish Rite Valley of San Diego participated in our Orient-Wide Reunion held in Pasadena last August 21-23, 2026. It was a fantastic event with all 29 degrees exemplified by the many Valleys in California. San Diego exemplified the 4th degree as well as the 9th and 10th degrees. It was a busy summer for sure.
Our September Stated Meeting will be on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. We will be
celebrating the Feast of Tishri. It is the time when Scottish Rite Masons gather to give
thanks to God and acknowledge the mercies which God has poured upon them. Thanks
to Illustrious John McQuown, 33° for putting this program together. Illustrious Melvyn
Stein, 33°, PGM will be our speaker.

Our Valley will be participating in the CLC Annual Golf Tournament, a fundraising event for our RiteCare Childhood Language Center. It will be held on September 19, 2026. There are still spots available but you need to sign up by September 5th. In addition, the National RiteCare Conference will be held in San Diego on September 24-25, 2026. Our Valley will host a reception on September 23rd to welcome theparticipants and to show off our CLC and new building.
Yes, September is going to be a busy month. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if youhave any questions.
Fraternally,
JoJo Quimpo, 33°

The Scottish Rite Center
Enjoy some photos of the Scottish Rite Center as it came to life over years of planning and construction. We will add more as each room is furnished and begins to fulfill its purpose.
We expect this building to serve the San Diego Masonic community for a very long time.
