If any of you have ventured into the Outer Rim Order, you may have noticed the Canadian Spire. They are our first sub-section in any of the Orders and should be congratulated! They are doing a fine job so far. 
As we grow, we will need a way to organize the Orders into smaller sections that will grow into new Orders of their own. And so we have "Spires". When any 10 members in any given area wish to organize into a group of thier own, they may go to their Order Master and request a Spire. The Order Master will then submit the request to the Council for approval. We are not limiting the areas to state size, state borders, or the like. And Spires will not be automatically be formed by the Council when 10 or more Full TJA members are in one area, such as a country or US state. They must be asked for by the members if they wish to have one.
Spires will be granted a sub-board in their given Order on the messabe boards. We would like to have the Spires listed on the main website just as the Orders are. New websites and message boards for Spires will not be granted at this time.
When Spires grow to be 25 full TJA members, they may again request to be granted thier own Order.
If anyone has any questions, please ask!
