3rd Annual Graveyard Master's Degree Conferral

Newly Raised Brethren:  Tayen Hazqiyal, Darby Yale, Wilkinson Egwu, Michael Helenek.

Gate City Lodge conferred the Master’s degree on four candidates on September 20^th, 2014.   This is the 3^rd Annual Graveyard Conferral which was held  in the Masonic Section of Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens, College Park GA.   The candidates were conducted in the usual Gate City flair by torch light and candle light. 

The weather was perfect and the sky was clear without the moon, providing the perfect atmosphere for this degree.  This occasion was sure to be a memorable experience for the candidates and the guest’s who attended.  

Congratulations to the Brethren Raised:

Tayen Hazqiyal
Darby Yale
Wilkinson Edwu
