I was asked to try to find the 6th District Traveling Gavel. I know that Hampton Lodge #70 has the Cascade Lodge Traveling Gavel. Meridian Sun Lodge #26 has the Traveling Hat. Montgomery Lodge#31 has the Rex Lodge Traveling Gavel. Now where is the other one at??? Now that was said, if there is any Traveling Gavel in your District. Please let me know and I will try to keep you up to date where it is at. Maybe this will help to promote more traveling in your Disrict. Darrell Flanigan
