If you are not a Scottish Rite Mason, the next opportunity to become one is fast approaching. The Guthrie Scottish Rite Fall Reunion is on 7-8 October 2017 at the Guthrie Scottish Rite Temple. If you are interested in becoming a 32d Degree Scottish Rite Mason, please visit with our Secretary who has petitions and information on lodging etc. Cost for degrees is $175.00.

If you ARE a Scottish Rite member then please mark your calendars to join us in Guthrie for the Reunion. It is always a great opportunity to fellowship with our Scottish Rite Brethren from across the state and visiting Brothers from around the country.

Thank you!

In this podcast, the Brothers discuss the masonic importance of the sense of seeing.
