PURPOSE

The Scottish Rite Guard has been in evidence in the Valley of Augusta for many years.  They are organized  with annually elected Officers - Commander, Lt. Commander, Secretary, Treasurer and Chaplain.  The Guard meets regularly on the fourth Tuesday of each month.  Each meeting begins with a meal followed by a  business meeting.  Over the years the Guard has generally relinquished their participation in Degree Work.  It has become essentially a service organization. e.g. providing assistance in Center and grounds maintenance, assuming the responsibility for meal preparation and service at Regular Communications of the Lodge of Perfection and handling special projects that may arise. The Guard conducts at least one fund-raiser each year - usually a spaghetti dinner offered to the public.  Proceeds may be used for a special charitable endeavor, to provide some special service or purchase for the Center.

A special project of note has been ongoing in the Valley of Augusta for many years.  This is the collection and sale of collected aluminum cans and certain scrap metals.  The total amount of funds raised through this endeavor is sent to the Thomas S. Perry Fund of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Scottish Rite Division, Hospital. Each year this Fund receives several thousand dollars for the treatment of indigent children.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

The Valley of Augusta utilizes a Director of Work whose general function is to coordinate the activities associated with the conduct of a Reunion - conferring of the Degrees. He has two or more assistants.

The Principal Officers of the four Scottish Rite Bodies are expected to function as Degree Masters for the Degrees conferred in the name of the Body they head.

The Class Director provides classroom instruction in the Degrees being conferred, as well as those Degrees not  being conferred during a Reunion.  He has one assistant.

A Stage Crew is managed by the Stage Director. The general function of the Stage Crew is to arrange and position props used in the Degree conferrals, coordinate the use of scenic back-drops, provide PA services and monitor the performance of Degree Cast Members.

The Valley does not have a formal organization for 33rds and KCCH's. They, however, periodically assemble themselves and their families for a meal get-together at the Center.

There are no Scottish Rite Associations related to the Valley of Augusta
