David has his Post up about the evening. His pictures may be found here.

Arcadia Lodge is very fortunate in many respects. A majority of our Past Masters attend the Lodge meetings, help out with degree work and are active members of our Lodge. We are also fortunate in out young officer line who are working actively to make our Lodge the best in the state. It was a great evening and I am glad I was able to attend.
