The Des Moines Valley of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite held their biannual ceremony of Investiture to those Master's of the Royal Secret who had been elected by the Supreme Council to receive the designation of Knight Commander of the Court of Honour of the Rite. (boy that is a lota words LOL) I fondly remember when I received my KCCH, I was so proud, that my mom and dad where there. The ceremony is impressive and I had a part in it for many years. More importantly than me, was the 19 new recipients. I know personally all but one of them, and that one is a active in community affairs. As Grand Commander I was proud that three of the Grand Commandery Officers received their KCCH, plus our current Commander, several Past Commanders, and a Past Grand High Priest. While they did not receive the KCCH for their York Rite involvement alone, as each is active in Scottish Rite, it shows that the two Rites can and do work together. (in Des Moines at least). All 19 earned their KCCH in some manner of service to the Rite and society. We had a great meal, and great ceremony. It is nice to see so many Brothers in tuxedos and the ladies dressed so nice.
Congratulations to the new KCCH's.
