"Illuminate"
"Illuminating" Ideas to Help Your Parlor!


As we noted in the budget report, Toluca Parlor needs the support of its members.  There are many ways that each member could contribute to the parlor.  Some are listed below.  We also encourage you to be creative and come up with other ideas to help the parlor.  Not all of them require additional money, so please do your best to support our Order and our parlor!!!  Other parlors are certainly welcome to add to the list or to use these ideas!  The publicity generated by some of these ideas can also help bring in money and involve non-members so that we can tap into other resources rather than always asking our members!
