We have a tradition where the WM of every Lodge picks some kind of "gift", typically with his name, year in the East and Lodge name and number on it to hand out to various brothers for various occasions.
This gift is given out to Brothers on their Masonic Birthday (The anniversary of their EA degree), to the WM, Officers and Brothers traveling with them for District visitations and to visiting Brothers.
This is only my 2nd year traveling around the district and I already have enough coffee mugs and key chains with S&C and the above information that I need never lack for a vessel to drink coffee from or a place to keep my keys!
I was curious if this was a tradition elsewhere. I would also love to know if you have run into this what less common things have you run into? I am looking ahead to 2020, and will have to order whatever my "gift" will be in Mid 2019 to be ready for January 2020. I don't want to do the "same old" pen, coffee cup, key chain thing, but also don't want to break the bank!
