MWGM William F. Shepard made his official visitation to Atlanta-Peachtree Lodge, no. 59, enjoying a wonderful evening of fellowship and Masonic pride.Worshipful Master Anthony Williams was proud to welcome the Grand Master and the many guests in attendance. Brother Williams even carries a very personal connection to the Grand Master’s symbol for the year—the Circumpunct—having it tattooed on his wrist as a living memento of its meaning and the call it represents.A special highlight of the evening was the presence of our youth. Job’s Daughters and DeMolay were special guests and shared presentations about the great work they are accomplishing in their organizations. Their dedication and enthusiasm reminded us all how important it is to support and encourage the next generation.Serving as the official reception committee were DDGMs WB Bob Simpson and WB Steven Schwartz, who welcomed MWGM Shepard and helped make the evening memorable.It was truly a great night in Freemasonry, filled with fellowship, inspiration, and a reminder of the impact we can make together. ...
