I just wanted to ask when the orders were last evaluated? I live in VA (less than 20 miles from D.C.) but am in the Southern Order and there is not an Eastern Order. Maybe some reorganiztional changes may be due to catigorize states better in proper regions of the country.....just a thought.....I just request a re-look at the order boundaries.

The Orders haven't been evaluated as such since TJA began. We did once consider re-organizing them for the reason you point out, however it would have created a logical mess and we quickly dropped the issue. There will always be the "but I'm just over the border from so and so" issue no matter where we draw the 'lines' for Orders and Spires. But it does have to make some kind of sense.............. There wouldn't be an Eastern Order. It's just North or South right now. Isn't Virginia considered a southern state? What states would you consider to be Eastern only? I'm not saying we couldn't re-organize, I'm just wondering why we would? If you have a good reason, we are open for discussions.  We do have means for starting "Spires" wich members must request. The requirement is at least 10 members in any given area and is not limited to state lines. When a Spire reaches 25 members it can become an Order. apfoister.proboards9.com/index.cgi?board=WLCME&action=display&thread=1027 |
