32 Club a Great Success

Nearly 50 brothers, ladies, and guests joined the Men of Boggs for the Winter meeting of the Logan County 32 Club last week. Brother Daryl Cordrey was installed as President for 2008 and Worshipful Brother Mike Dodds was installed as Vice President. The Club was honored to host Illustrious and Most Worshipful Brother Neil M. Smalley 33°, Ohio's Deputy for the Supreme Council of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. Ill. and MWB Smalley was joined by several distinguished guests from the Valley of Dayton, including:
- Ill. Douglas N. Kaylor 33°, Thrice Potent Master of Gabriel Lodge of Perfection
- Ill. Andrew "Skip" Vanderhorst 33°, Sovereign Prince of Miami Council Princes of Jerusalem
- Ill. Nicholas M. Krimm 33°, Most Wise Master of Dayton Chapter of Rose Croix
- Ill. Stephen H. Schlechty 33°, Commander-in-Chief of Dayton Consistory
- Ill. Roland W. Williams 33°, Past Imperial Potentate of Antioch Shrine

The guests enjoyed a wonderful meal served by Brother Vic Klingelhoffer of Vic's Country Cookin', followed by an exceptional program from Stew Kitchen, Drum Major for The Ohio State University Marching Band. Boggs will host the next meeting of the Club June 20th.

In related Scottish Rite news, the Valley will be traveling later this month for the Mid-Winter Meeting. The Valley of Dayton hosted the Valley of Cincinnati last year for the Mid-Winter protrayal of the "George Washington," or 20°, so this year the Valley of Dayton will head South to the Valley of Cincinnati February 23.

The program will begin at 7:30 when registration opens in Founders Hall on the 3rd floor. There will be coffee and donuts also. The degree work will start at 9:00 with the presentation by Valley of Cincinnati of the 12° and the 25° followed by Lunch at 12:30. After lunch, the Valley of Dayton will portray the 20°. A bus will be departing from the Sidney Masonic Center for interested brothers. Details are available on the Valley's website.

On March 8, the Valley will be traveling to Sidney to Present the 4° and 10° at the Sidney Masonic Center, and on March 18th, at 7:00 P.M. the Valley will be performing "The Chapter of Sorrows" Easter Play. This is open to everyone and is a great way to open your Easter week observances. The Spring Reunion this year is April 11th and 12th. If you, or any brother you know, is interested in joining the Valley of Dayton, contact Right Worshipful Brother J. Keith Bell, Boggs' resident 32° Ambassador.
