Posted on June 17, 2016

With June 15th marking the lodge’s 105th anniversary, Kenton celebrated the beginning of its 106th year by performing its sixth Entered Apprentice Degree with BEA Ryan Whittenburg as the evening’s candidate. Brother Whittenburg is also the first of five planned Entered Apprentice Degrees for this summer.
