Notice of Degree Work
Most Excellent Grand High Priest Richard E. Yena directs chapters to please advise the
Grand Webmaster, the
Grand Secretary, and your
District Deputy Grand High Priest whenever your chapter schedules the conferral of
degrees. This will allow companions to re-witness the degrees, support your chapter & candidates by filling the
sidelines, and offer assistance to you. It will also enable chapter secretaries to contact your chapter and arrange
for additional candidates to receive the degrees more promptly than they might otherwise.
Official Correspondence
All correspondence, membership information requests and charitable donations must be transmitted through the Right Excellent Grand Secretary. [For the benefit of our
readers outside of the U.S., the Grand Secretary is the counterpart to your Grand Scribe Ezra.]
