Congratulations to Bro. William Yokel on being raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason! Bro. William earned the Fellowcraft Coin for Excellence in Proficiency, which was presented by RWB Kevin Scheele and WB Robert Rhodes, Bro. William’s mentor. We enjoyed having visiting Brethren with us for the degree, and several joined us for a meal afterwards. Congrats again, Bro. William!
