Thank You, Sponsors!

The summer edition of Amicus is dedicated to all the people who have made contributions to the Library throughout the year. I would like to give them a BIG thank you! Without your support, the Library would not be where it is today. This has been the best year for donations to the Library in a very long time.
The Library binding program which was started by Ill. Akram Alias, 33°, has made great progress. The Library has currently received its third batch of more than 100 finished volumes from Wert Bindery. Let’s keep up the great work! For $100, you can get three volumes bound. If available, they can be from your state, country, or lodge, etc. All you need to do is send a check payable to the "Supreme Council, 33°, SJ, USA" for however many volumes you would like to bind. In the check's memo area, please write "Library Binding Project" and mail it to:
Supreme Council, 33°, SJ, USA
Attn.: Joan Kleinknecht
1733 16th Street NW
Washington, DC 20009

When the books come back from the bindery, they will be cataloged into our online database, and your name will be placed as the sponsor of your volumes. With your continued support, we hope to keep this project moving forward. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
Our binding sponsors to date include: Lyndon Shaftoe, Raymond Hunter, David Williamson, Pierre Lanham, Charles Webber, Lyle Swenson, Bill Loerch, and Dave Williamson.
