"WHAT IS A RITE-ON-THE-ROAD (ROTR)? 

This is a new tool available to the Valley of Philadelphia where we can hold remote “mini-Reunions” to show Video Degrees or perform Live Degrees to our members and new valid petitioners. They may be held after a Blue Lodge meeting, a Lodge or other venues.   All of these events include the 4th degree which is the degree at which a Brother Master Mason can become a member or the Valley of Philadelphia!
