On November 12, 2016, Valleys, Orients and Councils of Deliberations from both the Northern Masonic and Southern Jurisdictions will come together to celebrate the Scottish Rite. It is the first time the fraternity has held such a nationwide day of honor. The Central New York Region will meet in the Administration Building on the Masonic Care Community Campus in Utica, NY (2150 Bleecker Street) that afternoon for the conferral of the 32° on Brothers from the Valleys of Binghamton, Norwood, Syracuse and Utica. Running parallel to the conferral of the 32° will be a Ladies Program to be held in the lower floor of the Administration Building. Following the Degree, there will be a dinner in honor of the new Scottish Rite Brethren. We would love to see all that attend the Degree & Ladies Program that afternoon to attend the dinner.
A handsome, new jewel or medallion, similar to the one pictured here, is being commissioned. They will be available in November 2016, to all who have been made a Scottish Rite Mason. In the NMJ, each candidate receiving his 32° during 2016, will be presented this commemorative jewel free of charge. Our newly Knighted 32° Brethren will receive their commemorative jewels at the dinner so they are highly encouraged to attend.
