Brothers, Sisters and Friends:
On Saturday April 3, along with my subordinate lodge, visited Clifford Alford No. 165's communication in an attempt to secure the Traveling Gavel.
Doric Lodge No. 6 also attended the meeting with the same goal of obtaining the Gavel.
During the communication we received a lecture from Absalom's lodge lecturer and a power point presentation from a brother of Clifford Alford.
At the end of the communication Bro. Brown, Worshipful Master of Absalom of David was presented the Traveling Gavel.
We are very proud that the new address of the Gavel is Absalom of David.
After the communication the three lodges fellowshipped together.
Immediately following the celebration I attended the Grand Matron's Annual Ball.
Fraternally,
Ill. Raymond L. Smith, 33°
M.·.W.·. Grand Master
