The pedestal bears the Grand Master's logo for 2016-2017.  Sorry for the difficult to see picture, but the photographer didn't get a picture of this beautiful presentation. Thank you Most Worshipful Heisner.  The Officers retire from the Lodge.  Thanks again to the Al Bahr Legion of Honor for their presentation.  There was a light lunch after the installation.  And, of course, the cakes.....  Thank you all very much and we will see you again next year same date, same time.
