My Brothers and Ladies of the Knights:
First of all, I would like to thank my brother Knights for
electing me to the office of Chancellor. I am glad to be
part of the leadership of this Council and I plan to do all I
can to reassure your confidence in me. As the Council
activities chairman, I will keep you informed of all
upcoming events and update you on continuing
programs. The activities of the Council can be
demanding but also very rewarding. They also can be a
tremendous source of income for our charitable
programs. Depending on the activity, involvement can
give you a sense of making a difference in your life and in
the lives of those not so fortunate. We ask you to
support these programs and activities because without
you and your support we cannot have a successful
Council year.
The upcoming events are:
th
