Valdez Lodge No. 4, F. & A.M. of Alaska
Alaska's premier adventuring Masonic Lodge
Highland Masonic Weekend
Below is a schedule of events for Valdez Lodge No. 4’s Highland Masonic Weekend. We have changed the time of the degree to conferral to 0400 (yes, 4 am) to account for more light versus darkness at midnight.
Dress for the Degree is at your discretion. Kilts are welcome, but dressing for comfort and the elements is preferred. Please bring your regalia (though loaner aprons will be available). All Master Masons attending the Highland Master Mason Degree are encouraged to bring a camp chair, sturdy hiking boots/shoes, a warm jacket, and a rain jacket.
We will have some four wheelers and side-by-sides to facilitate logistical concerns.
Last minute lodging is available in the Lodge. Please bring a sleeping bag and a cot or air mattress if you have not secured lodging for the weekend.
We have a limited list of attendees. RSVPs would be very helpful in meal planning. We kindly request your RSVP (at the end of this post) if you plan to attend.
We look forward to seeing you, and having you share in this special occasion and our world-class fellowship!
