3 My Brothers: Secretary s Note beverages. You are encouraged to bring a dish to pass. More details for this event will be available as the date approaches. The Valley of Albany has had a very exciting On November 10, the Valley of Albany joined with the Valleys of Troy, Schenectady, and The Hudson to host the Eastern Regional Degree Festival at the Albany Masonic Hall. The Valleys individually conferred the 7th, 11th, 22nd (musical version), and 30th Degrees and then jointly conferred the 32nd Degree. This memorable event was followed by a banquet when our new Sublime Princes were recognized and awarded their Black Hat and commemorative jewel. This was an awesome day when the four Valleys created 52 new Sublime Princes for Scottish Rite Masonry. Please see pictures of the event elsewhere in this newsletter. Congratulations to everyone who participated. Please make your calendars for January 26, 2019 when the Knights of St. Andrew will confer the 29th Degree, perform the Knighting Ceremony on our new candidates, and host our Burns Night Celebration. The particulars for this event are on the front cover. Spread the word and invite your friends as this social event is open to all. We look forward to seeing you on January 26. This year the Valley will confer the 23rd Degree, the Four Chaplains Degree, on the USS Slater on May 16, We were asked to change the date so we will not conflict with a group of veterans from Michigan who visit the ship annually on the second week of May to help with maintenance and improvements. While we are more than happy to accommodate this request, we will have to reschedule our Annual Meeting from May 16 to May 9. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend both of these programs. Finally, the Valley plans to hold our Family Picnic this year on July 13, 2019 at Peebles Island. We will have the venue, together with a pavilion and kitchen for the day. Peebles Island is a beautiful park at the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers. There are opportunities for activities at the park and we will have access to the rivers if you want to bring your canoes or kayaks. As in the past, the Valley will provide hamburgers, hotdogs, and Thrice Potent Master James Best, Sovereign Prince Gary Smith, Most Wise Master Edward Kosinski, and Commander-in-Chief Paul Rosenblatt, along with all officers and members of the Valley of Albany, are working very hard to serve our members in all possible ways. Through these efforts we are attracting members and promoting the Craft. We are excited about the future of our Valley. Sincerely and Fraternally, John W.
