Gold Ritual Award – May 17, 2017
We are pleased to announce that for the 2nd year in a row Raytown Lodge #391 has successfully completed the Gold Ritual Award established by the Grand Lodge of Missouri. This is a significant achievement as it certifies the lodge is proficient at the highest levels of ritual, and is achieved by only a handful of lodges in the entire state of Missouri.
Congratulations to the members of the lodge, and thank you for your hard work and dedication. This proves once again that you all truly make Raytown Lodge a special organization.
We would also like to thank RWB Brad Fowler, District Deputy Grand Lecturer for the 19th Masonic District of Missouri for his time and effort helping us achieve this honor.
