Grand Master Wade Sheeler presented the central Iowa Traveling Gavel to WM Allen Barrow of Arcadia Lodge No. 249 at the GMAM last Monday night!
The Grand Masters' Traveling Gavel program is a program to encourage lodges to visit each neighboring lodges.
There is a gavel in each of the four quadrants of Iowa and one in Central Iowa. To" claim" the gavel, four brothers
need to attend a stated communication or degree of the lodge who holds the gavel and claim it. There is a log
book to keep track of where the gavel travels to.
The lodge with the gavel in each district is to bring it to the 2026 Grand Lodge communication in Davenport.
The Traveling Gavels for the NW, NE and SW areas of Iowa were given away at the Grand Lodge Annual Communication.
LET THE HUNT BEGIN!
Have fun brothers!
Let’s keep this gavel moving, build fellowship, and celebrate the ties that bind us together. !
