Challenge Accepted! This is the story of how Carlisle Chapter embraced that challenge...
When our State Master Councilor challenged the chapters to one, do something new and different that we had never done before,
and two, approach membership in a new light, many Master Councilor’s racked
their brains thinking of what to do. Carlisle Chapters newly elected Master Councilor Brian
Martin was no exception.
He reached out to the members of the Chapter for
inspiration and ideas. Many ideas were tossed around but the Chapter weeded out
the impossible options and focused on the ones that were the best. After much
planning and with approval from the Advisory Council many new events were added
to the term plan; a service project involving donating gifts to less fortunate
households right before Christmas, a very successful Gettysburg Ghost Tour,
plans to donate lap blankets to a local retirement home, and plans for a trip
to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Along with all of these brand new events, they
took the initiative to start their very own Sweetheart Program which began with
the installation of Carlisle Chapter’s 1st Sweetheart, Mary Lichtenwalner, in
early October. Plans for even more prospect parties and recruitment ideas are
still being tossed around and are sure to bring in even more new members.
Way to go Carlisle Chapter for "Being Different!" Keep up the great work!
