Subject: Form 10 fees covered for the month of December
TL?WR?: New York DeMolay will cover form 10 fees for the rest of the month of December.
The long version:
The New York State Economy continues to suffer due to COVID19 and the involuntary shuttering of many businesses across our great state. We have seen an increase in the cost of food, consumer goods, and in unemployment. This is putting a squeeze on families just as the holidays are coming and relief for families seems a long way off.
The other night I was helping a woman package food for herself and her family and she shared how hard it is to ask for help and that there were times that rather than ask for help she would go without. This mirrors some research that the Ford Foundation has been doing down in New York City regarding youth services.
No young man or a family to have to choose between necessities, the joys of the holidays and membership in DeMolay. Doing this, I hope removes a barrier for young men joining DeMolay.
To make this work: Please report your new members via e-scribe, when you get to the part about paying for the registration please reach out to me via email at pwbrusoe@gmail.com and we will get the rest covered.
I also want to stress: If any of our families are in need or there is a way we can help please let me know. We are family and we care for one another.
