NEWSLETTER
DISTRIBUTION
This newsletter is distributed via e-mail only. Every
assembly has at least one officer on the distribution list. I ask those who
receive it to make sure their FN and FC get a copy in a timely manner. Thank
you. COLOR
CORPS, FINAL
As the final paragraph(s) on this
subject, I will briefly touch on several things:
"TO BE A PATRIOT" AWARDSend me your best community
patriotic activity for the year on form TBP-2, with pictures and write-up to
assist in the judging, no later than June 30. You have received information
about it from Supreme. The FN (or his designee) from the winning assembly will
be given two dinner tickets to the Exemplification in October. “CIVIC” AWARDSend your 4 varied patriotic programs
for the fraternal year to Supreme on form #2321 before June 30. EXEMPLIFICATION
IN 2003
The Exemplification in 2003 will be at
the Renaissance Suites in Charlotte on October 18. The room rate is $96 per
night for Friday and Saturday. You may make reservations now at (704) 357-1414
or (800) 468-3571. It is a super hotel - you will love it. Plan on attending.
The candidate’s fee, set by Supreme, is $65 and includes his dinner.
The dinner cost for others is $41 and the ladies luncheon is $16. There will be
continental breakfast served by the host assemblies Saturday and Sunday mornings
for those attending the dinner. Honoree:
The honoree for this degree will be Sir Knight Edward Comiskey from
assembly 2208 Charlotte. Many of you know him so you know he is an excellent
choice and very deserving of the honor. Note to Faithful Comptrollers:
When you get a form 4, keep it and send all of them together with the assembly
check and registration form. Do not send the form 4 to me without the money or
registration form. Get your ducks in line, and about 6 weeks before the
exemplification (I will let you know the drop dead date), gather things together
and send everything – candidates and guests money – with the proper form. I
will have the exemplification notice at the State Organization meeting, and I
will send the registration form to each newly elected FC and FN sometime in
July. I have trouble keeping everything straight if I get several pieces from an
assembly at different times instead of all at once.
Thank you. Everyone - spread the word.
At the exemplification there are no meetings, just the degree and
socials. The socials start Friday evening, so even though all the “official”
action takes place on Saturday, plan on getting there on Friday to get
“ready” and to visit with fellow knights. We have access to the clubroom for
all the unofficial action, and the host assemblies have promised a great
atmosphere. NOW is the time to start recruiting
new members. Council officers, directors and chairmen are prime candidates -
they are interested and dedicated knights. We need them as Fourth Degree
members. Visit the councils in your area and talk it up. GO GET-EM. ADS
IN EXEMPLIFICATION PROGRAM
I need the help of as many assemblies as can afford it.
Please plan on taking out an ad in the exemplification program book. When you
make out your budget next month, include money for this - $75 for a full page,
$50 for a half page. A page is 5½ X 8½. Information will be sent to the new FN
in August. ASSEMBLY ELECTIONSIf you have not done so, conduct your
elections ASAP. Please send, immediately after the elections, the name, address,
telephone number, wife name and e-mail address of the new FN, FC, Commander and
Friar to the District Secretary (shown below). Please do not make him
call you for this info. It must be to him before June 21. If you have not had
your elections, please make an educated guess and we can correct it in a
newsletter if it turns out to be wrong. Attached
to this newsletter sent to the FN’s and FC’s are forms you can use if you
wish, or you can use the form on the State K of C Website. John Gouldie
INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS and other Master’s commitments Call or send me an e-mail on your request for installation of your officers. I will try to do as many as possible and will find a suitable substitute when I cannot. Listed below are my committed installations and other activities. If I have made a mistake, please call or send me a note.
GOOD OF THE ORDER
Let us pray for those listed below who
have left us.
