Travelling 3rd Degree

By Perry Klahr, Secretary with an assist from Copilot

Brothers, we’re looking forward to a wonderful weekend of fellowship as Crow Canyon Lodge No. 551 travels to Pacific Grove for our fall visitation and Third Degree. Below is your friendly overview of what to expect throughout the trip.

Friday, October 16 – Arrival & Fellowship

Our home base for the weekend will be Mariposa Inn & Suites 1386 Munras Avenue, Monterey, CA 93940 Check in begins at 4:00 p.m.

We’ll ease into the evening with a 5:30 p.m. happy hour, hosted by WM Paul. Weather permitting, we’ll gather at the picnic tables by the pool for drinks, snacks, and good company. Dinner will be a relaxed poolside pizza night, courtesy of the Lodge—an easy, enjoyable way to kick off the weekend together.

Saturday, October 17 – Lodge Day

Start your morning with the Inn’s complimentary “Healthy Beginnings” continental breakfast, available from 7:00–9:30 a.m. Brothers are also welcome to explore local breakfast spots if they prefer.
