Welcome to the fifth annual Southwest Scottish Rite Regional Reunion Class of 2010 - Hosted in the Beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona - Theme for this year's event is "Western Roundup".
Yippee-Yi-A MAY 12-16 2010
This is a Call for Candidates and Degree Teams to attend the 5th Annual Southwest Scottish Rite Regional Reunion, (SRRR) being hosted by the Phoenix Valley, on Wednesday, May 12th through Sunday the 16th, at the Chaparral Suites Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The SRRR will be an unique opportunity for the Southwest Orients of the Southern Jurisdiction of Scottish Rite Masons, [Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico & Utah] to hold a combined Reunion by gathering together to confer all twenty-nine Degrees upon worthy Candidates, as a courtesy to their home Valleys.
This Spring Regional Reunion is being patterned after the very successful 2009 fourth annual SRRR, held in Long Beach, California, where it had the honor of conferring the Scottish Rite Masonry Degrees to over 65 Candidates from multiple jurisdictions. Boy, did Long Beach raise the bar of hosting the SRRR to a new high! It is hoped that this SRRR will continue to be a great annual event with a long running future
Not only are we planning on exemplify all 29 Degrees, but we also have special dispensation to have a Louisiana Degree team perform the Scottish Rite 1st, and 2nd Degrees on Wednesday afternoon, May 12th followed by an Italian chicken dinner; and the 3rd Degree on Thursday evening, May 13th for all interested Master Masons. A special Cajun dinner is being planned for Thursday night before seeing the degree. The Reunion will culminate with an outdoor Western BBQ Banquet on Saturday night, the 15th that will include a special Native American Powwow dancing entertainment.

Attending the conferral of the Degrees is the "Masonic Motivation", but the SRRR is really about camaraderie, fraternalism, education and cooperation. You'll see some of the finest ritual work in the Southwest, have an opportunity of expanding your Scottish Rite network, and just having a great time.

They can also do some shopping, take in a movie or two, eat a fine meal at a very reasonable price, see a some great entertainment.
