Attention: all Grand Commanders and all Deputy Grand Commanders who will be in office as Grand Commanders on November 1, 2007; or Grand Recorders: In the upcoming November issue, Knight Templar magazine will again present pictures of those Sir Knights who are Grand Commanders. Please provide us with a photograph of yourself in uniform by September 30, 2007. If your installation will be in September through October, order your photo NOW or it will arrive too late for inclusion in the November issue.
Photos may be of any size (they will be reduced as in previous years), preferably black and white of good, clear quality. Color is acceptable. Do not send polaroid prints as they do not reproduce well. We only use head shots, and jewels of office do not appear.
Indicate your name and state on the back of the photograph. Photos are requested by September 30, 2007. After that date, it may not be possible to include them in the November magazine. Send to: Joan Morton, P.O. Box 478448, Chicago, IL 60647-8448.
