Membership in the Roanoke Valley Scottish Rite is open to any Master Mason in good standing in any Regular Lodge recognized by the Grand Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Reunions are held twice each year, in the spring and fall and are two days in length. Information on the next Reunion is shown below. If you are interested in joining, you need only to complete a petition and give it to a Scottish Rite Mason who will sign it and forward it to the Secretary.

For a petition or more information, contact Jim Bay, patty@srite.roacoxmail.com

The Roanoke Valley Scottish Rite will conduct two Reunions each year, one in the spring and one in the fall. The Reunions are held at the Scottish Rite Temple in Roanoke. Specific details about this class will be posted in the near future.

During the past several years, we have been very fortunate to have a large number of new members join the Blue Lodge. These new members are eligable to become Scottish Rite Masons. There is also a very large group of veteran "blue lodge" Masons who do not belong to the Scottish Rite, and many of these Masons are not familiar with the Scottish Rite and are not aware of the benefits of belonging to the Scottish Rite. It is up to each one of us who are Scottish Rite Masons to help educate these Masons so they may receive the full benefits of Masonry. If you know of a Mason in this category, please talk to him and inform him about the Scottish Rite and ask him if he is interested in joining.

If you need petition forms, please contact Brother Jim Bay, the Secretary of the Valley and we will get them to you. You can send the completed forms to Brother Bay. Once again, I ask each member of this valley to try your very best to get, and sponsor, just one candidate each for the upcoming class.

James C. Bay, 32º 
General Secretary
Roanoke Valley Scottish Rite.
