Local Master Masons, family and friends gathered together on Tuesday, June 25, for the final stated communication for Greenville Masonic Lodge No. 28 until the month of October. During the meeting, open to family and friends, one member and a student with a bright future were honored for their accomplishments.
During the event, Chase Allbritton was presented his very own leather apron, which is signified as the badge of a Master Mason. Allbritton was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason toward the beginning of 2019 and was appointed as Marshall of the Lodge.
