2010 Convention Souvenir Program
Written by GYR on November 2nd, 2009
Companions and Sir Knights:
The members of your Grand York Rite Souvenir Program Committee are pleased to announce that we have begun our efforts early this year to sell ads for our 2010 Souvenir Program. We have 3 objectives to accomplish:
- To increase the ads from previous years.
- To publish a more enticing, professional and informative Souvenir Program.
- To financially help offset a grand portion of the Grand Convention expenses.
In order for us to meet our objectives, we need the help and assistance of all our Companions and Sir Knights in Florida.
How can you help?
First: Have your York Rite Bodies purchase an ad.
Second: Have the Companions become boosters and purchase a name line which will be included in the program.
Third: go out and sell, sell, sell. Sell ads to your local Blue Lodges, Appendant Bodies, Masters & Wardens Associations, Masonic brethren that are business owners and local businesses in your area. Target business leaders with whom you may have some influence. We need to go beyond the box to make this a success.
A word of caution, NO AD WILL BE PUBLISHED THAT IS NOT PAID FOR.
So before you send those ads back to the Committee Chairman’s mailbox, make sure the ad layout, form and payment are included. Donations / contributions are not tax deductible as Charitable Contributions as the Grand York Rite Bodies are not a “501(c)(3) Corporation”; however, the Donation / Contribution may be deductible as an ordinary business expense. Sponsors are urged to consult with their tax advisor.
For more information, please refer to the Souvenir Program Booklet available for download from our website.
