251 years ago today, the Continental Congress established what would become the U.S. Navy.

Freemasonry has sailed alongside it from the start—shipboard lodges, chaplains, and Brothers who served side by side at sea. To every Navy veteran among us, thank you for your service.

Drop your years of service in the comments, or tag a Navy veteran in your Valley.

Did you know you can set your membership dues to auto-pay?

Set it up once in the Member Center, and your dues will be taken care of automatically each year. One less thing to remember.

A child reading with confidence. A family that made it through a hard season. Your generosity made moments like these possible this year, and on Tuesday, December 1, you'll see it for yourself.

A Night of Charity returns this Giving Tuesday, hosted by comedian Tom Cotter. It's our night to celebrate a year of Brothers showing up for one another, and to meet the names, faces, and families your giving reached.

Join us in Lexington, tune in to the livestream, or gather with your Valley for a watch party.

Michelle Collins and Lindsey Lewis-Stacy met in a waiting room in Columbus, Ohio, both there for the same reason: their sons were learning to read at a Children's Dyslexia Center (CDC).

The CDC's free, one-on-one instruction is made possible by Scottish Rite Brothers like you through the Blue Envelope Appeal. Michelle and Lindsey's sons went from struggling readers to thriving students. Now, one of those boys plans to come back to the CDC as a tutor to help other children.

As Lindsey put it: "Without the Masons, this wouldn't exist."

Your gift to the Blue Envelope Appeal supports the CDC and helps children with the gift of reading. In honor of National Dyslexia Month, make a contribution at the link in the comments.

“I remember the very first time I saw the 32nd Degree. I was blown away.” — Sovereign Grand Commander Walt Wheeler, 33°

That same feeling plays out in Valleys throughout Reunion season—a new Brother experiencing a degree for the first time, or a seasoned Brother returning to one that has stayed with him through the years.

If you haven’t made plans to attend a Reunion this fall, consider this your reminder to put one on the calendar.

Which degree has stayed with you—and why? Let us know in the comments and click the link to find a degree near you.

Whether it's your first Reunion or your fifteenth, the season starts the same way — with the anticipation of seeing old friends and making new memories.

Brothers who leave with new friendships and real momentum in their journey tend to do a few of the same things: bring their passport booklet, sit somewhere new, and take the time between degrees for deep conversation.

Our full guide is at the link in comments. What's your advice for making the most of Reunion season?

It could be a Scottish Rite Brother in need, a child learning to read, a student pursuing an education, or a family you may never meet. The charitable impact of our fraternity touches so many.

The Blue Envelope Appeal is how that impact is funded. One envelope, four programs: the Grand Almoner’s Fund, our Children’s Dyslexia Centers, the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library, and the Leon M. Abbott Scholarship.

Learn how you can give at the link in the comments.

When four Scottish Rite jurisdictions came together to honor the 25th anniversary of September 11, the initial goal was to raise at least $20,000 for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
But our Brothers across the country had more to give.
When the donation window closed on September 30, the final tally surpassed $200,000.
That number represents thousands of individual decisions to give. One contribution here. Another there. Brothers encouraging Brothers. Valleys spreading the word. Four Jurisdictions comprised of Scottish Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction; Scottish Rite Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, The United Supreme Council 33º AASR Southern Jurisdiction-PHA.; and the United Supreme Council PHA Northern Jurisdiction joining together in support of those who continue to carry the weight of service and sacrifice.
Together, we honor the memory of those we lost on September 11, while supporting Gold Star families, fallen first responder families, and catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.
Twenty-five years later, we remember. We serve. And we stand together.
Thank you to every Brother who answered the call.

The room. The Brothers. The moments in between the degrees that aren't on the schedule.

Reunion season is underway. If you've been to one already, or you're heading in this week, send us your pictures.

Drop them in the comments. We'll share the best ones next month.

Every Scottish Rite Brother has one: the man who didn't have to say anything, but did. Who noticed you were struggling with a question and just answered it. Who mentioned, almost in passing, the one thing he wished someone had told him.

He probably doesn't remember doing it. You've never forgotten it.

Who was that Brother for you? Tag him below.

We're gathering stories through the end of the month. The best will be shared with the whole NMJ.
