The De- Molay
Recruit- ment
With a new year comes new rewards for your recruitment efforts. Above, you will see a pyramid. In it, are
many great items that are yours to have if you are the first-line signer on a specific amount of petitions. Your
prize will be determined by the number of members you bring in. The formula is simple: Step 1) Take the
number of new members you’ve first-line signed this term. Step 2) Find that number on the pyramid. Step 3)
You win that prize AND everything below it. The objective: bring in a lot of friends, win a lot of prizes. So
what are you waiting for? Go out and bring in your friends, family, neighbors, and anyone you believe is
worthy of calling himself a DeMolay, and all of this can be yours.
Prizes will be presented no later than September 1, 2017
