☆ OWLS in Greensboro: Latest News ☆
Please check back often as to inclement weather report and information for Jan 30 and 31
Jan 27 10:13 pm ‐
Here's the latest and the final decision.
1. The OWLS is officially postponed from this coming weekend to February 20, 21, 2026, in Winston-Salem.
2. Hotel reservation information will be coming to you about that date after we resolve the issues from this weekend.
3. Hopefully, the Doubletree will let us out of the contract this weekend, but if not, we will be looking at Valley Assessments to cover that cost. I'm sorry but I can only hope they will be reasonable when we try to negotiate with them on and before Friday.
4. If you made reservations that were non-refundable, please try to reason with them to allow you to cancel.
5. Gary, cancel the reservation for the meal.
6. Janice, let's negotiate, and David Wicker has agreed to help us as needed.
7. Rita, please post this information at ncscottishrite.org as is. Folks with questions can call me tomorrow and I'll return every call as soon as I can. They know the drill by now — don't do this by email.
Everyone, please adjust your calendars and plan to be with us in Winston-Salem on February 20-21, if at all possible. Same format.
While I realize this decision cannot make everyone happy, it is the best course of action given the severe cold and weather conditions some folks across the state will face, making it impossible for them to be there. To put it in clearer perspective, there's ice in Greensboro that cannot be cleared around the building and parking lot by Saturday. Your health and safety are most important.
See you in February.

Join the Scottish Rite in 2026
SPRING Reunion in Raleigh, NC
The Valley of Raleigh Scottish Rite (Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction) has announced the dates for its 2026 Spring Reunion.
The reunion is scheduled for March 21 and March 28, 2026. These dates allow members to confer and witness the Scottish Rite degrees in a multi-session format, typical of reunions where candidates complete their journey toward the 32° and members enjoy fellowship, degree presentations, and Masonic education.
Location: J.J. Crowder Masonic Lodge #743, 11150 Durant Road, Raleigh, NC 27614.
All Scottish Rite members in good standing (with current dues cards) are welcome to attend. Reunions provide opportunities for personal growth, philosophical teachings through the degrees (4th through 32nd), and brotherhood among Masons.
For more details, questions, or to confirm participation (especially for candidates or visitors), contact the Valley Secretary through the Official Website or visit the reunions page at Become a Member this Spring: Petition for the Degrees.
This announcement aligns with the Valley's ongoing commitment to Masonic education and community in the Raleigh area. If you're a Master Mason interested in joining the Scottish Rite, these reunions are key events to start or continue that path.
