Hi Member,Welcome to Spring! In some ways, the pandemic has made it seem like winter has lasted for a year, but with the change of season comes hope for a slow return to normal. Time to turn our thoughts to new growth in the Springtime and in our membership and activities. |

We understand, sometimes it's hard to figure out how to stir things up and add something new to your council activities. Maybe you're looking for new members, or voting in officers, or trying to find a fresh way to engage your members.
Your Supreme Council is here to help! We have flyers to help attract new members. We have a Voluntary Producer Manual to help produce new members and sell products. We have a Manual for Council Officers and Members that provides a vast amount of information, from our history to officers' responsibilities to awards, grants, and scholarships -- and more.
And of course, if there's anything else you need for us, just let us know and we'll be happy to give some guidance. |

If your council or grand council hasn't connected with its members for a while, it's probably time to do so. A lot has been put on hold for the last year, but plans are being made for a slow and controlled return to normal, with the USA president suggesting small groups of vaccinated people will likely be able to safely gather early in July.
We all want to be with each other in person, but we need not wait until then to keep in touch. From letters to email to phone calls to video conferencing, all the tools are available to keep in touch with your members. It's an ideal time, while most are still safely distancing themselves, to make plans for your council. Why not discuss future charitable events, future meeting sites (perhaps outdoors as the weather turns nicer?), and don't forget about council elections. Use this opportunity to ensure your council is active. |

Spring is a traditional time to do a "deeper cleaning" than the usual. It's a great time to revisit any good quality and useful clothing and goods that you're no longer using, too. Why not plan a council "Spring Cleaning" to collect unused clothes, books, kitchen small appliances .. really, just about anything! The number of things that can be donated is vast, and there are many places that will take various donated items. For example, clothing might be donated directly to an organization that works with the homeless. Household essentials may be accepted by organizations that are trying to help individuals or families get back on their feet in a new home. And global organizations such as Goodwill or Salvation Army take a vast number of items (see the Salvation Army's list here).
Perhaps your council would want to ask your family and friends to help, too, with their donate-able items. It's a great way to introduce them to some of the things the Royal Arcanum members do. Maybe they'll want to join us! |
