Valley of New Bern Scottish Rite News
The Ill. Jerry Stapleford, 33° Reunion.
During the weekend of 4, 5 and 6 October Scottish Rite Masons from the Valley of New Bern collected essential supplies needed in Western, North Carolina. On Monday, 7 October Brothers Adam Ross and Bubba Coombs left New Bern with a double axle enclosed trailer full of supplies and took them to Swananoa, NC. We are in the process now of collecting warm clothing and cold weather essentials, such as portable heaters, extension cords, coats, gloves etc. This load will be leaving 23 October for Wilkes County.
The Valley of New Bern voted at its regular LOP meeting to donate $2,000.00 to the North Carolina Scottish Rite Masonic Foundation, along with another $1000.00 from the Valley of New Bern Almoner.
