Just about a year ago, I wrote a post “Collecting Guidelines<\/a>,”\u00c2\u00a0 since we are now in the midst of the Spring TOR Season here in the Northeast, I thought this would be a good time to highlight thid post.<\/p>\n

We all have\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153accidental\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0collections that accumulate, without conscious intent, over the course of time; if you are at the point where you want to start taking an active role in shaping a collection, the best place to start is with understanding what belongs in it, and what doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Decide what you want to collect.\u00c2\u00a0 If it is OA, will it be a number set?\u00c2\u00a0 All Active Lodges?\u00c2\u00a0 My state? My Section? My Lodge? Flaps, Odd-shapes, event issues?\u00c2\u00a0 It is up to you to decide what you want to collect; set a goal<\/a>, monitor your progress and watch that accumulation turn into a collection.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
