First giving praise to the GAOTU for his many blessing. As we prepare for United Supreme Council Annual Session in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where we will be making approximately 130 new peers and greeting those we have known for years. I would like to personally “CONTRATULATE THE CLASS 2024.” As we continue to move this United Supreme Council in a very positive direction and with the assistance of the
have many events planned for the membership in Milwaukee, so that you will be able to take something away from this session to improve in your Masonic knowledge. For those of you who have never been to Milwaukee, take time out of your busy schedule to avail yourselves to all the amenities that this great city has to offer, like shopping and many great eateries. If your schedule permits, you should carve

The Bulletin has now shifted to electronic delivery and will save the United Supreme Council a ton of funds. FREE technology allows us to publish on the website without size restrictions but with LIVE website links. This will help us to expand the audience to include the whole Scottish Rite and the public. Hopefully, it will generate new opportunities for our future. In this edition, we extend the series on the Sovereign Grand Commanders. Dr. Russell S. Gideon was a phenomenal man and fraternal stalwart who set a grand example that should be emulated today. Our Grand Prior, Dr. Wilton E. Blake echoes this message in his column in that we must share our wisdom today for solid growth in the future. New columnists will keep us abreast of security and health matters. Our other columnists cover the remaining basis relative to mentorship, history, veterans affairs and more. Special thanks to SGIGs Stuart A. Lee and Reginald Stewart, GIG Samuel Lindsey and SP William Irving for
providing editorial support while I was on medical leave. Our photographers are second to none. Facebook photos have also been snagged specifically from Sovereign Grand Commander Bazemore, SGIGs Daniel Poole, Milton Jackson, Gino Anderson, Jospeh Slay Jr.; GIGs Cliff Brown and Reiss Byrd; and SP Christin Campbell. Editorial tasks are numerous and rank or grade have no bearing on them. We have several projects underway. If you possess this skill set and would like to contribute, forward your resume to Bulletin@AndrewsPress.com. In closing, take a moment, visit your doctor. Ascertain a complete status of your health. I remain thankful to the health workshops that provide education and opportunities to gain awareness and identify solutions to health problems. Taking the advice of these professionals can save lives. I AM A LIVING WITNESS. If being macho prevents you from seeing a doctor, YOU are just being foolish. Don’t’ delay, visit your doctor today!!
