KNIGHTS OF YORK DEGREE TEAM FOR 2008

 

 

FROM RON GRASS ON AUGUST 15TH, 2006

Knight Companions,
 
The YR College session is coming up shortly.  You should be getting a letter from Sec. Don Grazier soon.  I would like to have the degree team meet at the Temple in Fremont at 10:00 that morning for a quick run-through of the degree, as well as setting up the room and locating all the necessary paraphernalia.  This will give us time to break for lunch, also.  The meeting will start at 1:00.
 
With a practice and our parts well learned, the ceremony should be memorable for the candidates.  Hope to see everyone there.
 
Ron Grass
Degree Director
