Members are
reminded to bring your regalia to all meetings.
Per Supreme Council law all
members of the AMD must attend at least one meeting each year.
Officers are required to
attend all meetings of the AMD unless excused by the Sovereign Master.
Our Council is
named for Brother
SAM HOUSTON
"The Raven"
(1793 - 1863)
A hero in Texas' struggle for independence.
He defeated General Santa Anna at the Battle of San
Jacinto and
freed Texas from the rule of Mexico.
Houston served as the first president of the new republic
from 1836 to 1838 and was elected to a second term in
1841.
When Texas was annexed to the U.S. in 1845
he went to the
U.S. Senate where he remained until 1859.
He left the Senate to become Governor of Texas.
He opposed Texas joining the Confederacy
and was deposed as Governor in 1861.
He then retired to private life where he spent the
rest of his life.
In his younger days, he lived with the Cherokee Indians
who gave him the honored name of "The Raven".
