National Heroes of ’76 Line
Ladies, Brother Hero’s, and Brothers,
As of July 5, 2018, I am home, long trip but fun. I have had more than one enquiry as to the number of Heroes that can be made at an encampment. Brothers, the rules HAVE NOT CHANGED! Two Heroes per day (24 hours) at an Encampment. One charter, one Hero, one camp is a BIVOUAC. Two charters or more, two Heroes, two or more camps is an ENCAMPMENT. Please remember it’s supposed to be a memorable event for each Hero. Take your time, make it a special day for the Hero. Don’t forget to make it a fun day as well. If the candidate is a Grand Master or other dignitary, it is even more of a reason to take the time for only one Sojourner to be made a Hero that day (24 hours).
Now for the ensuing year: I encourage all Heroes and Sojourners to support the 100th year anniversary of National Sojourners. We need to let the USA and world know who we are and to make a mark in our Sojourners history. Support any way you can. Join other chapters, wear the 100th anniversary hat, visit a new Blue Lodge, do presentations, do color guards, give the “Toast To The Flag” and present the poster. Oh, do you know about the poster? Check with National or get on the web site. Do not know how to get on the web site? ASK for help. You did that before, remember? To Be One, Ask One.
Carol and I look forward to seeing as many Chapters and Camps as possible.
Safe Travels, have Fun.
S/F, Jim Benson, National Commander
