Sir Knights,
There will be an informal meeting on Saturday morning at
11:00AM in the Scottish Rite Temple to discuss ideas for future events
concerning the KSA. Rolls and coffee will be made available for those who do
come. This is open to all Knights.
Hope to see as many Knights as possible at the meeting. It
will not last long, it is a brainstorming get together.
Congratulations, and great showing for the Robert Burns
Dinner. It was a grand affair and from what I saw and heard an enjoyable time
was had by all.
FYI, from what I have been told we are in the black on the
Robert Burns dinner. I want to personally thank all who came, and made this
the affair it turned out to be.

Brethren,
It is with pleasure that I announce our newest Knight of
Saint Andrew to you. Sir Knight Desi L Martin of Crete is our newest Knight.
It should be known the Brother Desi went through our Fall
Reunion this last year. So when you see brother Desi, please congratulate him
on becoming a Knight of Saint Andrew, and welcome him as one of our beloved
Scottish Rite's newest member.
"One for all, and all for our Rite"
Brother Knights,
This is the first, but hopefully not the last contact from
another KSA unit since we posted our webpage on the Supreme Council's KSA
listing. I am forwarding it on in its entire content.

Fellow Knight's,
It is once again that time of the year when we must elect
our Offficers for the upcoming year. So with this in mind I request your
attendance at the Lodge of Perfection meeting on the 19th of November, 2008.
As with ever election process it is only as good as your vote can make it.
Please plan to attend.
Also, once again it dues time for the both your Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite and Knight's of Saint Andrew. Brethren, it is of the utmost importance that you maintain your Scottish Rite dues. For without you
there will be no Scottish Rite, and the domino effect of this is beyond scope.
Please maintain your dues.
The dues for the Knight's of Saint Andrew are still a
bargain. 32° Masons pay only $10.00, KCCH and 33° pay only $5.00. I request
you maintain your membership in the KSA. The KSA is a service organization for
your Scottish Rite. We help perform at functions, so that other Scottish Rite
members may enjoy the function. Please remit your dues in care of The Scottish
Rite Masonic Center, 332 South Centennial Mall, Lincoln, NE. 68508. For KSA
dues make check payable to Knight's of Saint Andrew, for Scottish Rite dues
make your check payable as requested on the dues notice you have or will be
receiving.
Thank you brethren
New Law Authorizes Veterans' Salutes during National Anthem WASHINGTON (Oct. 30, 2008) -- Veterans and active-duty military not in uniform can now render the military-style hand salute during the playing of the national anthem, thanks to changes in federal law that took effect this month. "The military salute is a unique gesture of respect that marks those who have served in our nation's armed forces," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. James B. Peake. "This provision allows the application of that honor in all events involving our nation's flag." The new provision improves upon a little known change in federal law last year that authorized veterans to render the military-style hand salute during the raising, lowering or passing of the flag, but it did not address salutes during the national anthem. Last year's provision also applied to members of the armed forces while not in uniform. Traditionally, members of the nation's veterans service organizations have rendered the hand-salute during the national anthem and at events involving the national flag while wearing their organization's official head-gear. The most recent change, authorizing hand-salutes during the national anthem by veterans and out-of-uniform military personnel, was sponsored by Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, an Army veteran. It was included in the Defense Authorization Act of 2009, which President Bush signed on Oct. 14. The earlier provision authorizing hand-salutes for veterans and out-of-uniform military personnel during the raising, lowering or passing of the flag, was contained in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008, which took effect Jan. 28, 2008.
Brethren,
Saint Andrew is widely known as the Patron Saint of
Scotland, and Saint Andrew's Day is celebrated by Scottish around the world on
30th Of November.
The flag of Scotland is the cross of Saint Andrew, also
known as the Saltire, and is widely displayed as a symbol of National
Identity.
Brother Knight's,
The following is the Reunion Schedule for the 1st of November, 2008. Take due notice there of and govern yourselves acordingly. If you have any questions related to the Reunion please contact Brother Bruce Wood, our General Secretary.
Fraternally
