From the Personal Representative . . . Welcome to 2011. This should be a
very exciting year for our Scottish
Rite. Since the last newsletter we have re-
viewed many areas and have had the
opportunity to revise and restructure some of our boards and committees.
Contained within this newsletter you
will find a list of the current committee
members. I would like to thank all of you for your input and support. For
those of you who are not presently on a
committee I want you to know that we still need your help and support. The
boards alone can only recommend ac-
tions, it takes the members to institute programs and create success within the
Rite.
The S.G.I.G. has impressed upon me
that the primary focus of our charitable efforts has and will continue to be the
Scottish Rite Language Centers. To
this end we will develop long range plans to help support the cooperative
efforts between the University of the
Pacific and the Scottish Rite. You can expect to begin hearing about upcom-
ing functions and fundraisers in sup-
port of our language center.
Each month I will focus on an individ-
ual program or brother who may have
something of particular interest to our
members. I will start with a program
that has been around for a short time.
This month I would like to introduce,
or re-introduce, the Master Craftsman
program. In this study program you
read an informative history of the Rite
and its ceremonies. Assignments are
accompanied by a short quiz and when
you have completed the studies you are
awarded a certificate and a lapel pin
signifying your accomplishment. The
assignments are not complicated and
you will find you enjoy the content as
you progress. The Studies are flexible
and you may study in groups or as an
individual. There is always someone
available to assist you if need be. If
you think you might be interested
please contact the general secretary for
more information. I am looking forward
to seeing all of you at the stated meet-
ing and dinner. .

From the Editor . . . . . At the request of the Per-
sonal Representative I am returning
to the position of Editor of the Rite
News. I feel privileged to be able to
serve our members in this endeavor.
In an attempt to make the
News more interesting, we will be
changing some of the things that
have become habit in the last few
years. The most important thing I
need to say to start with is; This is
your news letter!.
Please feel free to comment,
criticize or submit your own articles
for publication. Your opinion is im-
portant. This is your organization.
We, like all organizations have
elected and appointed members to
do the day to day work, but you, as
the membership, are the most impor-
tant part of the of the structure.
Without the input of the members
we have a a mob, not a structured
group that accomplishes our goals.
Your input and ideas are important.
Please feel free to let us know. All
suggestions, within budget limita-
tions and physical abilities, will be
considered. The office is open every
work day from 9 am to 5 pm for
your benefit.

FOR DONATING
January Stated Meeting Dinner
From the General Secretary . . . . . . . . Brethren,
The hard fact of life is that it is once again the beginning of the year and dues
are payable. As with most Masonic organizations, the Scottish Rite dues for
2011 became delinquent if not paid by January first.. Many members who
rely on their memories to get the dues paid on time find that one or more of
their commitments has not been met. How you check if you are current is
easy. Open your wallet and look at the cards within.. If the card says, "Paid
through 12/31/2011" then you have nothing else to do. You are good for the
year. If, on the other hand, you are not current, please contact the Secretary
of that organization. Aren't sure who to call? Call me and I will give you the
name and phone number to contact for most any Masonic group I am in the
office Monday thru Friday 9 to 5 and welcome your visit. Or, just phone
209/466-3391
Fraternally,
John L. Baker, 32° KCCH,
General Secretary
