Illustrious Companions,
On behalf of the officers and members of Cryptic Council No. 51, we’d like to cordially invite you to join us for the Super Excellent Master Mason’s Degree, which will be conferred in Doylestown on Saturday, 11/23. The details for the day are below, and a flyer with additional information is attached. As of now, a Table Council, fellowship, and live music are planned to follow the degree. To assist with defraying the associated costs (meals, incidentals, & more!), we request that each respective Council contribute $30 for each member or candidate attending, as well as to please register each member/candidate via email to 51@doylestownmasons.org by 11/1/2024.
We would also like to offer a special thanks to our Most Puissant Companion, Mark D. Gall, Most Puissant Grand Master, and all the members of our fellow Councils who will be participating with us – it is because of their expertise and brotherly assistance that we have the privilege to host this spectacular Degree. Upon conclusion of the event, we’ll have college football on for any members who have some time to hang around and watch a few games.
From great ritual, to great food, to esteemed fellowship, please mark your calendars, and don’t miss out on this momentous opportunity to yet again wade in the purifying waters of Cryptic Masonry!
