Throw off the lethargy of the l ong, hot summer! Renew your sp irit! Feel the rus h ofenthusiasm ! Be uplifte d! Become a part of that which is good and wholesome! Join with thousands of others who a re taking an active part in t h e rebirth of fraternalism! Ce ebrate th e success of Proect SOLOMON II® th e Rebuilding of Freemasonry in Pe nnsyl van ia!

The SOLOMON II Rally at the H ersheypark Arena on Thursday, October 4 is expected to be the largest gathering of Masons, their famili es and friends under one roo fin the history ofthe Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.

Thousands of Mason s, representatives of all the bodi es that are part of the masonic family, i ncluding the youth groups, will come together to celebrate the bright new beginning that s the promise and substance of Projec t SOLOMON II.

Never before has a n idea been so widely accepted. Never befo re has an id ea sprea d throughout the fratern ty in so short a time. Never before have the eyes of virtually every ma so ni c orga ni zation in the cou ntry been focused so squarely on the Grand Lodge of Penn sy van a.

Project SOLOMON II is working. All the working too l s are in pla ce. Each l odge has its operati ons manual in hand and its force i n place to put the program in high gear.

The computer tracking programs h ave b een refin ed o ver the s umme r months and th e free flo w of informati on b etween th e lodges, the overseers, and th e director of the project wi ll begin with th e first activity after the end of the summer call-off.

Now we will reverse the decline in membership. Now we will each do our part to guarantee th e goa of Project SOLOMON II, th e addition of 50,000 new members over th e next four years We w ll

restore the fraternity in Pennsylvania t o 250,000 m em bers by th e en d of1987.

The SOLOMON II Rally in Hershey will provide t h e first o pportuni ty to cel ebra te the early indications of success that grow stronger each month as new statistics are gathered. I twill provide a publicforum in which to recognize th ose individuals who are setting records for performance along with the odges and districts tha t are taking leadership positions.

Members of th e fraternity are encouraged to appear at t he rall y in the regalia of their offices

A controlled processional will be formed to begin the festi viti es, with r epresentatives of a ll the masonic bodies in t h e central region o f the sta te taking part

A number of surprises have been

planned for the rally, including professional entertainment, audio -visual presentati ons, an address by the RW Grand Master, and a closing ceremony th at will be remembered for years.

The yo uth groups, DeMo lay, Job s Daughters and Rainbow for G irls, will be asked to act as ushers and will p lay an important part in the c los n g ceremoni es. There wi ll be no cha rge fo r admi ssi on to the Hersheypark Arena, but all seats will be reserved. A coupon accompanies this article (see page 15 ) for use in ordering the free tickets. Tickets will be nu mbered according to the usua l a rena seating plan and will be assign e d on a first request basis
