Thanks to all who helped stuff envelopes at the LEC!
Ran September 20, 2007 through October 20, 2007
The Brotherhood Committee sends a special thanks to all those who stayed after the Lodge Executive Committee meeting to stuff envelopes containing letters to our new members from recent Ordeals.
Sending these letters is a new responsibility of the Brotherhood Committee to keep in contact with our newest members to keep them excited about their membership in the Order and more readily encourage them to seal their membership with a Brotherhood Conversion after 10 months of service. Thank you to all who helped support this endeavor and we look forward to more folding and stuffing at next month's LEC.
