My youngest son goes to Scottish Rite here in Dallas. I've been looking forever for some type of benefit ride for Scottish Rite w/ no luck. I know quite a few of you are Masons and was hoping you could help me out w/ any info. I've checked the Scottish Rite website regularly for their "schedule of events" with nothing turning up. Now I know they do these rides, right?....I just cant seem to locate one. Anybody able to help? I figured December would surely have one...but none yet.

 

Used to be one in April, but do not know if that will be true in 07

 

Scottish Rite??????

rx3732,, thanks for the heads up
now lets get this ride going!!!

 

You could probably go on down to Strokers and get some interest drumed up for a ride?

 

Actually, when I spoke to the "PR" person at the hospital, Rick Fairless was one of the names she mentioned as somebody who has been involved w/ a ride benefitting the SR hospital. I sent him an email already....waiting for his reply.

 

Rick started an Easter ride a few years ago, but there was not one (at least not communicated to me) last year.

Love to see one again. Scottish Rite does some amazing work for the kids.

 

Great idea rx. I am always up for a ride and nothing better than making it for a good cause. The Scottish Rite do so much, I can't think of a better reason.

 

well, I got a reply back finally from Strokers...his the reply:

"Rick forwarded me your email. As of now, we don’t have plans to do a ride benefiting the hospital, although we do have other fundraising efforts in the works. We recently held a silent auction and 50/50 raffle at our Anniversary Party in October and were able to raise $2230 for the Scottish Rite. We are planning to do the same thing on a slightly larger scale for our Spring Fling event in March. We are also working on creating a large Charity Ball with the entire motorcycle industry of DFW to benefit the Scottish Rite. Hopefully that will pull together toward the end of the year and be a great success. Be sure to check out our website or join our email list to stay up-to-date on the fundraising efforts we have planned.

Thank you so much
