My question is in regard to the Scottish Rite Valleys of the NMJ.
If you join one Valley can you demit or transfer to another Valley in the same Orient?
Example: Valley 1 (the closest to you) had a reunion March 1, you missed it, and they won't have another until next year. Valley 2, which is further away, has a reunion April 1. You don't want to wait until next year so you attend the April 1 reunion and get the required degrees (minus the 32nd). Later that year there is a joint reunion of all the Valleys where the 32nd is conferred. Either before or after that later reunion can you transfer or demit and join the Valley closest to you?
If it is possible to do so, would you need to wait until the next reunion of Valley 1 to do so? Would you forfeit any fees/dues paid and have to pay a new fee and due to join the new Valley?
