THE SUPREME COUNCIL 33° OF THE ANCIENT & ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE FOR AUSTRALIA
THE SUPREME COUNCIL 33°
16 January, 2008
Circular 08/02
Distribution: Chapter Recorders, Council Grand Secretaries District Commanders, District Recorders Supreme Council, Regional Commanders
New form 2A for 18° Candidates
Attached is a new form, numbered 2A, to be used in future for all candidates entering the
Order. It has been re-arranged to make data entry easier, the Chapter name only needs to be inserted once, the declaration is arranged more logically, with Proposer and Seconder signing underneath where one would expect and has some minor changes which will make it usable by any petitioner to the Order. It also does not have the red stripe down the side which was a very expensive option.
Please use this form from now on, although existing forms may be used until the end of June 2008. How about the challenge of using up all your old stock with new candidates!! Again this is a paper based form since it must be accompanied by a payment.
Yours sincerely and fraternally,
R Lions 33°Grand Secretary General HàEà
