*Some information on the Feast of Tishri*

"So, what is the Feast of Tishri, anyway?"
The Feast of Tishri is the most Scottish Rite of festivals. From its origins in the days of the Old Testament, it today is an event where we meet at a common table, express our mutual esteem, and promote that essential bond of cordiality among Masons.

"Vivat! Vivat! Vivat!"
That's not a phrase you've encountered learning your proficiency. You'll come to know it well at this Festive Board, as ceremony gives way to laughter. The "commemorative firing cannon" is, in fact, a shot glass.

"A Feast you won't forget"
The gourmet dinner is incredible, and you'll experience Masonic fellowship as you never have. Guaranteed - it's most fun you'll ever have in a Masonic center!

"You don't have to be in the Scottish Rite!"
EA's, FC's, Master Masons - we'd love to see you! The more the merrier!
