District Commandery
Dear Brother,
Starting a District Commandery
You need two Knights to start a District Commandery. Two Knights must have Full Regalia;
Affiliate Commandery Program
Once you are formed as a Commandery you receive a substantial percentage on all Memberships fees and donations.
Expanding Membership
We have a proven system to grow your commandery that results in 1200 members in year one, and 3,600 in year two. When you do the math, you will see that this will lay down a good foundation to build a Commandery of honourable members to do good in the community.
Appointments
- Commander
- Secretary (General Membership Administration and post)
- Treasurer (responsible for accounting and monetary transactions)
The Purpose
The purpose of the Commandery is to expand the membership to do good in your community, at Monthly Meetings you would collect donations for Local Charity and then decide on what to spend the money on, or save it in the Charity fund until it is a sizable amount, this Charity money must be invested in your local community at least once a year. The more members you have the more money you can raise for charity in your community. Remember 100% of monies collected for Charity go to charity that is our code of honour.
Dues
Monthly Lodge dues are payable by each member this is voluntary donations by attendees of the monthly meeting, if a member has hardship he will be allowed a pass on the basis of making amends later once his hardship has passed, the brothers should help their fellow member out in any way they can to recover hardship.
Annual Membership fees to the Main Order are to be collected by the Treasurer of the Lodge. If a member has hardship he will be allowed a pass on the basis of making amends later once his hardship has passed, the brothers should help their fellow member out in any way they can to recover hardship.
