After a nice meal, the lodge room was crowded with 48 visitors, including MWB Charlie Murphy and other dignitaries from Zenobia Shrine. Edon Lodge #474 F&AM brothers put on an excellent Entered Apprentice Degree for Brother Sanchez. Thanks to Brother Sanchez and Omega Lodge for allowing Edon Lodge to initiate a true candidate. Once again, Fulton Lodge claimed the Traveling Trophy. Perfect attendance now stands at 26. Keep it going - Omega Lodge inspection next Friday, February 27, with the Master Mason Degree.

Over 50 brothers braved snow covered and drifting roads to attend Bryan Lodge’s Inspection in the Fellow Craft degree. Brother Ward from Liberty Center Lodge agreed to receive his FC degree in Bryan. First time master WB Jim McPike and his officers portrayed a very fine degree. Fulton Lodge took home the traveling trophy. We hope for better weather next Friday for Hicksville Lodge’s inspection in the EA degree. Hope to see you all there!
