About Our Site

This website for the Scottish Rite Bodies in the Valley of Philadelphia was built and is kept current by Ill. Steven A. Morrison, 33º. Its purpose is to inform the Masonic and non-Masonic visitor of the nature and workings of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of the Masonic Fraternity, and to inform its membership of upcoming events and programs within the Valley.

The Web Master would like to acknowledge and thank those who without their assistance this site would not be possible:

The backgrounds and insets used throughout the site came from GRSites.com, Bellsnwhistles.com.

The 3D Text effects were created by the Web Master at Flaming Text.

For the Masonic clip art and graphics used the Web Master would like to thank the following:

Bro. Corky Daut- "The Small Town Texas Mason." Bro. Corky is the web master for a number of Lodges in the Lone Star State. His attitude of "No Copyright, Free to Use," regarding his collection of Masonic graphics and backgrounds is much obliged!

Give Bro. Corky a visit at Small Town Texas Masons.

Bro. Stephen A. McKim-This very talented Brother has created some of the most beautiful and imaginative Masonic art and offers it to Masonic Web Masters for use on their non-commercial sites. Thank you, Bro. Steve! Visit Bro. Steve's site to view his wonderful collection of Masonic graphics- Masonic Web Warriors.

Bro. Dan Pushee- This Brother is the creator of www.yorkrite.org. He also maintains a marvelous Masonic clip art collection at Dan's Clipart. Thank you Bro. Dan!

Thanks also to Bro. John Bridegroom for his unique and imaginative Masonic art work. Bro. John offers his work to Masonic Web Masters for their use too. Thank you, Bro. John!

And last but certainly not least, the Web Master offers his sincere thanks to Bro. Darrell Waddell, "The Kentucky Mason," for all his assistance. Bro. Darrell has designed a number of graphics that I've used on our site and in our publications over the years. Thank you Bro. Darrell for all your help and your friendship over years and across the miles. Visit Bro. Darrell at The Kentucky Mason.

To my "family," the Members of the Valley of Philadelphia, it is for you that this site was built and to you that it is dedicated.
