It was a packed house for Sycamore Lodge's inspection. There were 42 visitors present, including two brothers from Findlay Lodge. Sycamore Lodge alone packed in 16 members, over half of their total number of members. Brother Eric Levin of Sycamore Lodge served as the pro-tem candidate for the Entered Apprentice degree. This brother found his way back to Sycamore Lodge when receiving his 25 year service award. He was impressed with the degree work and promises to keep coming back. Since the traveling trophy didn't make the trip to Deshler, the "traveling pin" was awarded to Edon Lodge with ten brothers traveling.
The last inspection of the season will be this coming Friday, March 15 with Napoleon Lodge portraying the Master Mason degree. Jiggs Dinner at 6:00 pm (Please RSVP) , degree at 7:00.
