On Monday March 12 we had several visitors from Bailey-Onton 538 and Henderson 958 attend our meeting.  After some business, which included voting on four new petitions, the W.M. Jesse Hurt of Bailey-Onton 538 collected the Traveling Gavel that we had grown accustomed to.

The interest in picking up the Traveling Gavel is a great tool in getting lodges to travel in their district to visit other lodges.   After giving the gavel to W.M. Jesse Hurt, there was some discussion about our lodge coming and getting it back.  They jokingly asked that we at least let them keep it a couple of weeks before we come back for it.

On another note from the meeting, we did vote on four new petitions that we obtained as a result of our Friend to Friend Breakfast.  All four were accepted and a degree is being planned for our next meeting on March 26.  A meal will be served at 6 pm and our business meeting will start at 7 pm, with the degree to begin shortly after.
