TO: Deputies of the Orients for the United Supreme Council NJ, PHA To reinforce the continued importance of our USC-Wide Reinstatement Program, I am reauthorizing the waiver of reinstatement fees, effective through April 30, 2026. This waiver applies at both the Consistory and United Supreme Council levels:
• Sublime Princes reinstated at the Consistory level must pay dues for the current and following year. • Grand Inspectors General must also satisfy Consistory dues requirements. The USC reinstatement fee of $100.00 for Grand Inspectors General is waived during this period. Note on Pending Reclamation Packets: Any packets submitted prior to the expiration of the previous waiver, but not yet voted on, will still qualify under that earlier waiver. Delays not caused by the petitioner will not penalize their eligibility. Action Required: Included in this publication (see inside rear cover) are the USC Reclamation Procedures, which have been approved for use. Please read them carefully and ensure that all Consistory leaders and Orient Reclamation Coordinators are fully familiar with the processing steps. Lack of understanding has led to unnecessary delays and confusion, which we must avoid to meet our shared goal: timely and structured reclamation. Your commitment, energy, and attention to detail are essential to the success of this initiative. Reclamation is as critical to our growth and stability as retention. For questions or assistance, please contact SGIG Garry Tyler at GTyler7879@aol.com.
Yours in the Rite,
Sovereign Grand Commander ’ s Pen Lieutenant Grand Commander
