So when are we going to stop talking and start walking with this?!

Who's good at writting up proposals? If we can get someone to write it up, I think I can pass it on to a sitting Master or PM to get it up for GL.

Sounds like a great idea!

Re: Absolutely!

For those concerned about "security" -- a way to be certain only legitimate masons have access to the plate, it appears that can be written into the proposal and the state will take reasonable precautions if asked (perhaps asking for a dues card?). However, I say, so what? It's unlikely non-masons will pay the extra money for a plate, and if they do... the more the better! We're already unable to prevent others from using the S&C or other masonic symbols, so what difference does it make?

Yes and they will ask for prof that you belong to the organization before they even give you the special form to order it. I just got my plates renewed and I got the US Army one and it was on the restricted list. I had to show my Military ID before they would give me the form to fill out.

If we can get it written up, as a sitting Master next year I will be happy to read it and honored put my name on it. (p.s. thank you for the friendly "we've missed you" email. life has been really busy and haven't been here in awhile)

I've been out of the loop. Do we have a PM yet willing to submit a resolution to the GLoT? Maybe we could, on this very forum, scrounge up a resolution so a PM wouldn't have to? He could submit it, we could all get plates! :SNC:

LAWYERS; step up to the plate and let the batter hit a home run.

I received this message from a Brother:

"Please send a proposal in writing (not e-mail) with detailed procedures that you recommend. I will give it to the GL Trustees for their consideration."

did this happen? when do propals have to be submitted by and who has to submit them?

 

[turtle]

Any word on this?

 

[TexMass]

Hell, I'd purchase an Arkansas lic plate since it's going to charity.

 

[Dave in Waco]

I believe proposals are due into Grand Lodge in May. Does anyone know how to write one? If we can get one written, I can find a WM or PM to submit it.

Hear here!

 

[garyhuggins]

yes i would buy two sets

Saw one of the Knights of Columbus plates this evening. Looked swell. Wouldn't the GLOT get some of the revenue from the state for each of the plates purchased?
Maybe a cash cow for the much needed upkeep, repairs, and ongoing maint. of our GL...?
A fee is paid to the state for these special plates every year. I'd gladly trade in my Be a Blood Donor plate for a GLOT one.

 

[Dave in Waco]

Well something else to consider, if GL did the first offering of the plates at the GL Communication, they might be able to make the minimum order to get their deposit back right then. Do a pre-order or something like that.

Last night at a Scottish Rite meeting, the Grand Treasurer (I think), mentioned the efforts for a license plate held a mock up of what it might look like and received two large contributions to finish the initial funding of the effort. So, the money obstacle is out of the way.

It looks like this is moving full steam ahead.

That's great to hear.

 

[nick1368]

That is great... I hope they continue moving this forward. I will too will gladly trade in my Native Texan plates for a set of S&C

But do we have a resolution yet? May is fast approaching! :48:
