Last night WM Pete Fisk, SW Bill Watson and JPM Jim Willoughby traveled to Sugarloaf Lodge in Heber Springs where we captured the Searcy lodge #49 Program of Education traveling gavel. Patterson Lodge now issues a challenge to any lodge’s in the state to earn it away from us by attending a stated meeting ( 1st Monday of each month, meal at 6:30/meeting at 7) your lodge must have a minimum of 3 master masons & provide a Program of Education. Brothers , a traveling gavel must keep traveling and moving forward- much like our beloved fraternity. We will see you at our next meeting…..
