Timothy F. Jaeger

Endorsed Candidate for GER 2026-2027

The member Elk in the photo is someone you may not have seen in our state; he is a Past Chairman of the Board of Grand Trustees from the state of California who has been endorsed by the Advisory Committee as our next Grand Exalted Ruler! 

You can help him achieve this goal.  The Endorsed Candidate for G.E.R. must achieve the financial goal he needs to become GER. Besides service, leadership and dedication to our Order, it takes a significant amount of money to become our National President. Not all expenses are paid by the Grand Lodge. The G.E.R. is expected to pay for several expenses out of his pocket. The cost of these expenses is upward of $250,000.00. 

You can help our brother Elk in raising these funds by purchasing one of his Endorsed Candidate fund- raising pins. The pins cost $100.00 each or you can purchase two for $150.00. Pendants are also available at the same price. As a Thank You for helping, you will receive an invitation to his G.E.R.- Elect reception at the Chicago Grand Lodge Convention in July 2026, where you can meet him in person! 

If you plan to attend the GL Convention in July, please consider purchasing a pin or two. 

Please send your check, payable to: G.E.R. Fund to Richard Palanzo, SDGER, 27 Middle River Road, Danbury, CT 06811-4313. (Please make sure you include your name and mailing address with your check so you can receive your invitation to his reception). 

You can also purchase your pins at our mid-year conference at Willimantic Lodge in January. 

Thank you for your help!
