3 14 Pasadena Scottish Rite Bulletin Pasadena Scottish Rite Bulletin 3 Announcements On behalf of the Pasadena Scottish Rite I would like to thank all the cast members, Stage Craft, Sound Committee, Lighting Committee, Kitchen crew and supporting members for an outstanding performance of the Spirit of Hiram, Friday March 26. We have had many complements on the performance of what an outstanding job done by all. Thank you Ill. Ernie Pooleon, 33 Our Membership Chairman, Ill. Bob Sechrest,33 has developed a new incentive program to increase our membership. There will be a significant reward for a certain number of new members recommended by anyone of you for membership in the Valley of Pasadena. He will make the formal announcement at the May Stated Meeting. Details will be printed in the June issue of your Bulletin. Musical Notes by Ill.

We also need additional B flat Clarinets and B flat cornets and trumpets. Please call the office at (626) and leave your phone number, that I may return your call. W. Joseph Ryland, 33 Master of Kadosh Consistory As Master of Kadosh I highly recommend that all Scottish Rite Masons attend the stated meeting on Friday, May 7, The Los Angeles Scottish Rite will confer the 15th degree. It is especially important that our new members, who have not seen this degree, take advantage of this opportunity and see a very educational and inspiring degree. When we first experienced the Scottish Rite degrees, we came to understand that there are woven within the words and the work; moral and symbolic lessons of life. We were reinforced with our relationship with God and our communications with one another. As with any other class of higher learning and education, it is up to the student, or candidate, to study, and search for himself, the meanings of the course of education that he is pursuing. We must make use of those ideas that we learn from the degrees and incorporate those principles of the Fraternity into our own actions and communications with one another. To some people, this may seem to be useless information, as it may not apply to their way of life or the understanding of what they have received in their search for more light, and maybe even truth as understood from their perspective. However, the history of our lives is still being written, for the understanding of those who desire knowledge. The lessons of the 32nd degree are apparent in the life of Sen. Bob Dole, who was twice decorated for heroism and valor during the second world war, sacrificing his health and future mobility in an attempt to save a downed radioman... - Jim Hoerricks, 320 KCCH, Classroom Director

4 4 Pasadena Scottish Rite Bulletin 13 Let there be Light Have Tux - Will Travel by Arthur H. Zabounian, 32 KSA Librarian Even after one year of his passing, our brother, Roy Henville still continues to educate the brethren I have not had the pleasure of sharing time with our late brother, but after reading his impressive biography and his heartfelt eulogy, this outstanding ritualist, a fine gentleman of noble character, who a Mason of 65 years, a Past Grand Master, and a Trustee and Board member to several concordant bodies, leaves me with reverence and awe. My inquiry into his personality led me to believe (based on the testimonies of several of his peers) that he was indeed Masons Mason. His humility as a leader, his intellect and desire to teach those who were willing to listen were just a few of his qualities a Master Mason indeed. His own original copy of Coil s Masonic Encyclopedia was just recently donated to his mother lodge in San Marino by his family. Along with a photo album containing pictures of the reception of him becoming the Grand Master in These items will be on display in the San Marino Lodge, at your discretion, until their retirement to the Pasadena Scottish Rite Library and Museum. My brother, your memory will live on by the Light that you continue to shed. and there was Light. Concert Under the Stars Enjoy a night out and help the This summer Members and Family of the Pasadena Scottish Rite have a unique opportunity to enjoy a dinner and concert at Concert Under the Stars presented by the Hafif Family Foundation at the Hafif Concert Garden in La Verne. This years concert will be on July 24 with Smooth Moods. For each tax deductible gift of $55 to the Scottish Rite Childhood you will receive one free admission to the show of your choice. Tickets are limited. This is a way to have a fun night out with your best girl and benefit the, and it is all tax deductible. Make your checks payable to: California Scottish Rite Foundation Pasadena. A Scottish Rite Mason may not become a national leader or an industry titan. He may just quietly apply the royal secret in his life; serving those around him and enriching their lives and his. - Jim Hoerricks, 320 KCCH, Classroom Director

Quoting the Grand Master every Mason in California should see this play.
