VMAP Snapshot: Nice Hats!
Valley of Omaha, NE, Hosts Kentucky Derby Party
The Valley of Omaha Scottish Rite welcomed three new candidates as 32° Scottish Rite Masons at the Spring 2016 Reunion, May 6–8. Bros. Brandon Breiby of Florence Lodge No. 281, Justin Salado of Solomon Lodge No. 10, and John Miyoshi of Wahoo Lodge No. 59 received the Scottish Rite degrees over the course of the three-day reunion.
The highlight of Omaha's Spring Reunion was the Kentucky Derby party, hosted by the Scottish Rite Ladies Group and chaired by Brenda Coleman. Guests enjoyed mint juleps, crab cake sandwiches, turkey sandwiches, bacon-wrapped potato wedges, brie, and pecan pie and cupcakes. Ladies brought their best Kentucky Derby hats, and guests had the opportunity to vote on the best hat. Sherry Sederstrom won the best hat, with Jessica Weaver bringing in second place, and Preston Coleman coming in a close third with his dapper seersucker cap and suit!
