This evening, Valle Crucis Chapter held its first meeting under its new October meeting date, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the Chapter. To celebrate the occasion, the brethren elected to confer a Double Perfection, continuing a remarkable run of ceremonies. Excluding Installation meetings, this represented the Chapter’s fourth consecutive Double Perfection, a testament to its continued growth and the increasing interest being shown in the Order.

The change of date appeared to be a very positive move, as the meeting attracted another excellent attendance. More than thirty members and visitors assembled for the evening, creating a vibrant and enthusiastic atmosphere within the Chapter. The strong turnout reflected not only the support of the membership but also the esteem in which Valle Crucis is held by neighbouring Chapters.

The ceremony was conducted with the customary care and dignity expected of the Chapter, with members once again coming together to ensure that the candidates received a memorable introduction to Rose Croix Masonry. The enthusiasm shown throughout the evening, both by those taking part in the ritual and by those supporting from the sidelines, contributed greatly to the success of the meeting.

Overall, the evening proved to be an excellent start to the Chapter’s new meeting schedule. With another successful Double Perfection completed and such a strong attendance in evidence, the future continues to look bright for Valle Crucis Chapter.
