Right Eminent Grand Commander David S. Ponder has announced a special fundraising opportunity to support the Knights Templar Holy Land Pilgrimage program. As you are aware, this program is related to the Grand Encampment Knights Templar of the United States of America. The mission is to send credentialed Christian Ministers on a Biblical study and historical/cultural immersion experience who would not have the opportunity otherwise.
For the past couple of years, the Holy Land Pilgrimage trip has been canceled because of unsettled conditions in the Middle East and area. The trips are being resumed. REGC Ponder has announced a fundraising campaign to help generate the funds we need to continue to support a minister to make the trip.
In short, there are two contribution levels for donors to receive awards:
For a cumulative donation of $250.00, the donor will be designated a Knight of the Holy Land PIlgrimage and receive an attractive jewel. (Donations may be made in full in one payment or made incrementally until the $250.00 level has been met.)
For a cumulative donation of $1,000.00, the donor will receive The C. S. Walker Patron of the Pilgrimage plaque. This level is open to foundations or corporations, and is available to a commandery where four individual members make the $250.00 individual donations or a donation from the commandery as a whole.
Donations should be made to the Grand Recorder’s Office at P.O. Box 3526 Little Rock, AR 72203
