The Valley of Concord will pack up that part of its wardrobe that pertains to its 4th Degree and travel to Nashua this weekend to reprise its March 6 Reunion performance. We join the Valleys of Nashua and Keene, which will perform the 8th and 14th degrees respectively as part of the Nashua Valley's spring Reunion.

Two Masonic events this weekend - a statewide open house and Palm Sunday ceremony - will bring Freemasons together and into  public view.

What makes these events noteworthy is that both involve the general public as invitees to learn more about Masons, our history and our activities and to witness the thoughtful, dignified conduct of Masons in their performance of a solemn service of remembrance for deceased Brothers.
