==Rule of the Company==
The Rose Membership Card is created and signed by Headquarters Staff. The original card is sent with the Certificate of Membership. Thereafter, as each member pays his annual oblation, a new card is made and sent with the next available mailing. Renewal cards are not sent with a cover letter, as they serve primarily as a receipt. They will generally be distributed with a regular issue of ''[[Augustæum]]''.
==[[Meetings in Chapter]]==
Other activities at such meetings, and whether they may be held via teleconference, are questions yet to be addressed by the Noble Company.
