The Masonic Ring

To: All Georgia Freemasons

Brethren:

The Grand Lodge of Georgia has contracted with Lightyear Network Solutions for our first official fundraising project.  This program offers a potential monthly revenue stream of $15,000 to $25,000 within our first year of active participation.  It is certain that we will realize $50,000 and upwards in ongoing, monthly revenue with the continued support of this program over the next few years.

Lightyear offers billing and customer support for both business and residential cellular phone service.  Their “rebilling” service is based on your choice of either Verizon or Sprint-based calling plans.  

Our cost for Lightyear’s Verizon-based calling plans is typically at or below published pricing.  Custom offers for group and business plans are available.  Free phones; earlier free calling times (7:00 p.m. rather than 9:00 p.m.); and free calling to Verizon and Lightyear customers are offered to Georgia Masons, as well as to our friends and families across the nation.  Of course the primary benefit of your subscription to this service is a portion of your monthly bill supports both the GACHIP program and the Masonic Home.

Lightyear’s Sprint-based packages offer month-to-month pre-paid and standard billing for unlimited voice, data and text plans at a cost far below standard pricing.  Your purchase of one of these packages also benefits our GACHIP program and the Masonic Home.

Brethren, this is a “Win, Win, When” opportunity.  Subscribers receive added value; and both GACHIP and our Masonic Home receive ongoing financial support through our individual, family and friend’s participation.  The only question is “When” will you take action?  You may order your Lightyear service today by clicking on the links at the Grand Lodge, GACHIP and/or Masonic Home websites or by downloading the order form on US Masonic Charities.

Our Masonic Home District Ambassadors now report directly to me.  They will be trained to answer your questions about this program at their next District meeting.  Your Lodge Ambassador to the Masonic Home should already be in touch with his District Ambassador, who can be contacted through the Grand Lodge website.  I call upon all Ambassadors to assist with your Lodge’s participation in this program.  A subject matter expert on this program will be present at each of our District Conventions for additional training.

I now call upon each Lodge in our state to find ten (10) subscribers to this program over the next three months.  By doing so we will eliminate the financial issues weighing upon our Masonic Home and will be able to support the continued growth of our GACHIP program.

Thank you for prompt attention and cooperation in this matter.

Fraternally.
