The twenty eighth annual session Of
the Supreme Council, A. A. S. Rite oil
Freemasonry, promises to be one OF
the greatest events ever held in the
city of Oakland. Victoria Consistory
is not the strongest in the country, but
none can surpass it in the loyalty OF
members and their enterprise and big
heartedness. They are all working as
a unit for the success of everything
connected with the annual session, and
this means that the public reception on
Monday evening, September 10, and
the grand promenade and ball on
Thursday, September 16, will establish
a high standard. The program will be
first class; the music the best that
money can secure; the ball the very
best; and the reception committee
one that understands its duties and
will see to it that all visitors
will be properly taken care of and
will return to their homes with
the best impression of Oakland
and her people. Yes, there IS much to
be said about the men wiIu are back
of this great movement, and the
charming ladies who are helping them,
and each week in these columns valu-
able information will be published and
we want the public to reaG all about
the same. And for this week just read
