Council 953 will be hosting a 1st Degree exemplification on Thursday, September 17. All members are invited to attend to observe the ceremony and welcome our new members. The doors to the council hall will open at 6:00 pm, and we are requesting that all candidates arrive no later than 6:30. The exemplification will start at 7:00 pm (or shortly thereafter). Refreshments will be served following the exemplification. Make sure you are using the most current Form 100. Remind prospective candidates that their dues will be prorated for the year and that there will be a flat initiation fee.
