Noble Leon Washington (245)

Welcome to Al Tariq Temple No. 245. We are committed to visible service—supporting youth, strengthening families, and showing up for our community through consistent outreach. Our work is grounded in brotherhood and guided by a simple promise: we will help others while building one another up.
​
This year, we are expanding our impact through mentorship, scholarship support, and community service initiatives across Cobb County and the Metro Atlanta area. Thank you for being here—and thank you for standing with Al Tariq as we continue putting service into action.

GALA WEEKEND

This Is More Than a Gala — It’s a Weekend. When people hear the word Gala, they often picture a single formal evening. But Down in the Country Gala Weekend is much more than that. Al Tariq Temple No. 245 is creating an entire weekend experience centered on fellowship, music, food, celebration, and memories worth making.

More Than One Night. The experience begins Friday with a Meet & Greet, giving everyone a chance to reconnect, settle in, and start the weekend together. The energy picks up with Dukes & Boots, our Western Kick Back Party.
Saturday brings another full day of celebration, beginning with the Blues & BBQ Parking Lot Cookout, featuring blues, Southern soul, R&B, good food, and relaxed fellowship. That evening, Western style meets sophistication at the Cowboys & Cowgirls Gala, followed by the late-night "Quarter Tuh Three Hoedown".

The best events are not simply places we attend. They are experiences we step into. 

​We look forward to your arrival!
