Scottish Rite Degrees
Degree work is the heart of Scottish Rite, frankly, it is what we do! Masons
join us to learn the lessons of our degrees, and return for Reunions to have
these lessons refreshed. The Scottish Rite degrees are presented to our members
as vignettes or theatrical plays.
Men who have seen our degrees in the past are reminded, and men who are seeing a Scottish Rite degree for the first time are expected, to think about what they see and hear. We hope that they leave our auditorium asking themselves questions about what they believe to be truly important in their lives; whether they are better equipped with the ethics they need to guide them in making better life choices; do they have an understanding that life's real heroes are people who strive to help others and by doing so, help themselves; have they perhaps found answers to questions of how they may react if or when they are confronted by the situations or personalities portrayed in the degrees; and are they more aware of clues that can guide each of man on his individual pathway toward becoming a better man, husband, father, friend and Mason.
We encourage our members to return annually at each Spring and Fall Reunion, to rediscover the eternal truths of our degrees, to be refreshed from their labors in the day-to-day world of modern life, and to return to their labors... at home, at their job, or at their avocation... with a new sense of energy, mission and purpose.
Volunteer To Work In Our Degrees
We are always looking for men to take roles in our degrees. There are speaking and non-speaking roles. There are also opportunities to join the stage crew; learn to run the lighting or sound boards; work in wardrobe to see that the actors are properly dressed and equipped to go on-stage; or do makeup to add age, dignity, emotions or a particular time period to the faces of our actors. You may even become one of our directors and be responsible for all aspects of a degree's production. You'll feel a great sense of accomplishment performing or supporting the production of our degrees and you will make lasting friendships with the guys you work with.
Take a test run by volunteering to work with us. Getting started is simple! Click here to Volunteer. Fill in the form, tell us the areas you'd be willing to try, and submit the form. An e-mail with your information will be sent to our Director of the Work, Tom Turner and our Secretary, Gerry Brebner. They'll get you going in the next cycle of degrees at our next Reunion.
Or call:
The Director of Work for the Valley of Green Bay is Tom Turner. He can be reached by phone at (920) 494-2885 or by e-mail at tturner5@new.rr.com.
Whatever direction you choose, if volunteer to work on our degrees you will be guided and trained until you are ready to assume the duties yourself. And then the responsibility will be yours! That is a day to which we all look forward. Call or write Tom today!.
