Scottish Rite Friends Dinners are an exciting grassroots fund-raising program that encourages Valley involvement, raises money and gives 100% of the net proceeds to qualified Valley, Orient and Supreme Council charities. Thanks to dedicated brethren across the Southern Jurisdiction, Scottish Rite Friends Dinners are making a difference. Volunteers from local Valleys help by organizing committees and planning dinners in their Orient. The event includes a live and silent auction and 50% of the net proceeds stay with the local Valley for charitable uses and 50% is contributed to the House of the Temple Historic Preservation Foundation, Inc.
