June 20, 2019, is a Past Master 3rd Degree to remember. Sergio Ramos, son of Alex Ramos (PM of our Lodge) was scheduled to get his Master Mason Degree. Our Master Clint Atherton knew the importance of this auspicious evening as this young man would follow in his father's footsteps in Masonry. He decided to make this a Past Master's Degree night. Past Masters from 29 Palms, Yucca Valley, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Hemet, San Jacinto, Temecula and Murrieta came to the call. It was a magical evening and everyone had a wonderful time. This would go down in the history of 2019 as the BEST Degree night we have had and afterward all the Past Masters and Brethren enjoyed social hour at our famous "West Gate Lounge". Congratulations to our youngest Master Mason... we know that your father would be proud! Click on the image below to see all the pictures.
