Grand Secretary at the York Rite Boston Office to inquire about
individual Team member assistance, or, see information below on "How to
Invite the Team"
How to invite the Team
Send a letter to the Grand Royal Arch Chapter Grand Secretary at the York Rite
Boston Office inviting the Team to confer the "particular Degree" on
"state day of week", "Month", "Date", "Year" and "Time". The invitation
should be received at least 2 months in advance of the desired date to
allow ample notification of Team members; however, shorter time frames
can sometimes be accommodated. Do not let the 2 months lead time deter
you!
It is customary, but not required that the Team be the guest of the
Chapter, if a dinner is being planned. Chapters are expected to make a
donation to the William Foster Clark Memorial Fund for the services of
the team.
