INVITATION TO JOIN THE KSA
22 January 2006
Fellow Scottish Rite Brethren:
The Knights of St. Andrew, Grand Forks Chapter is currently being formed by fellow Brothers of the Grand Forks Scottish Rite. It is a 32º “Black Hat” organization that will exist to serve the Valley, increase the membership, and enhance the Scottish Rite experience for all involved. During the formation stage all members of the Valley are welcome to become Charter Members and be as active as they choose. After chartering, 33º and KCCH members will become Emeritus Members and may participate and be active, however, will not be permitted to hold office or vote. We are getting off to a great start and would like to have all interested members of the Valley of Grand Forks participate and become a Charter Member of this exciting new organization.
