The Minneapolis Valley
Knights of St. Andrew

The Minneapolis Valley Knights of St. Andrew work for the betterment of the Minneapolis Scottish Rite Temple and the Scottish Rite in general.  We serve our beloved Rite at the pleasure of our Grand Commander, Ronald A Seal 33º; Sovereign Grand Inspector General of the Orient of Minnesota, Jerry B. Oliver 33º; and the Personal Representative for Minneapolis Valley, Jim Burlingame, Sr., 33º GC.

The KSA is above all, a service organization for the betterment of the Scottish Rite.  We work on improvements to the temple building, the temple library and we also serve the candidate education committee.

We heartily support one another.  The chief goal of our Excellent Master, Peter Tomlinson 32º KCCH, is harmony among the Knights and allowing each to have the opportunity to serve their Rite as they wish.  As we all know, the strengthening of our Chapter must come with harmony, it being the strength and support of all societies.

The KSA is a service organization, but it also prides itself in its brotherhood. We will host and attend festive boards with toasting and chivalric cheerfulness and brotherhood. Plans are in the works to volunteer at the RiteCare Clinic in Elk River, to help in the maintenance of the degree props, and extend fraternal aid and enjoyment whenever possible.
