Members of the Arab Masonic Lodge #663 presented 205 copies of the American Constitution and Declaration of Independence to Arab Elementary School Principal Mike Shipp on Friday.  These pocket-sized documents will be distributed among the Elementary School’s 5th grade students as they begin studying the events leading up to the American Revolution. The donation was funded by the members of the Arab Lodge and is part of an ongoing initiative by the Lodge to become more involved in the community.  Lodge members, David Frost, Jeff Rutledge, and Brad Patterson participated in the presentation.
