On March 25th, MEGHP Ray Matthew put into service at Mountain Home Chapter #43 a travelling Royal Arch. It is to travel throughout the state and can be claimed by any chapter that visits another that currently has it (at a stated meeting only). It only takes one visiting Royal Arch Mason to claim it. If there are companions from multiple chapters, it will go home with the one who has traveled the furthest.
Mountain Home only kept the Arch for less than a day, as Randy Gilless and Jon Walter, from Jonesboro Chapter #79, visited Mountain Home on March 25th and brought it back to Jonesboro. Presented by TIM Scott Williams.
During the meeting, EC Ron Klein presented Sir Knight Will Syfrett with his lifetime membership to the Knight Templar Eye Foundation. Chivalry Commandery #38 is one of five Commanderies in Arkansas that have 100% of their members as life sponsors.
