How Long Does It Take To Get Your Background Check Back From Guarding The West Gate?

Greetings to all,

I have met with some members including the Worshipful Grand Master of my local lodge for a pre-dinner meeting 2 weeks ago.

All went well and I was provided with a petition form to fill out. I was then provided a link called "Guard The West Gate" and provided my information to perform a background check.

Does anyone know on average how long it takes to get the report sent to me? It has now been 3 days and I need to submit the report along with my petition at the next pre-dinner meeting.

Any help is much appreciated.

I'm a member in WNY and this program is pretty new. Your biggest hold up will likely be the lodge itself moving along. You won't see any sense of urgency but they will get back to you soon. They will likely vote on you at their next stated meeting and go from there.

And btw, good luck. I hope it turns out well for you.
