I know that many Jurisdictions issue a certificate or card when a new Brother demonstrates proficiency in their Degrees. You may not believe this, but in PA we do not do that. Our Proficiency Award is given to those who exemplify and hence authorized to do the work, i.e., run a Lodge Meeting (What we call "Business of the Lodge" and confer the EA, FC and MM Degrees. You must exemplify this work to a Senior Instructor at our District Schools of Instruction, who is not a member of your Lodge.

I completed the exemplification of the MM Degree, thus completing the requirement for the award back in October and, honestly, it slipped my mind.

At District school this Wednesday I was called up to the East by our DDGM and presented with this:

GLoTX doesn't either. We have a series of certificates a Brother can earn. When one earns an "A" certificate, it means he has learned ALL our esoteric work & is proficient in reciting it. He also receives a pin, shown below:

Go to imgur.com. drag your photo to the page. Get share links. Pick the one that says [IM G]xxxxxx[/IM G] and paste here.

We have lecture pins that you get when you deliver the piece of work in front a grand ritualist at a Grand Lodge of Instruction.

You can get:
IRC pin (interrogatories, reception and charges)
EA lecture.
FC lecture.
MM lecture.
Installing Master
Funeral

I have the FC pin. I will post a pic of it below.

How did you get that photo to post I am completely at a loss!
After I typed my text, I clicked on the "Upload a file" box. I entered the file name of my photo & clicked on the box NOT called "thumbnail" (don't remember what it's called). There are only certain file types, such as JPEG, that can be uploaded- is your photo one of those types?
