9 BIRTHDAYS AND ANNIVERSARIES We like to include the birthdays and anniversaries of our members and their ladies in our newsletter. Our faithful Comptroller gave me a list with the birthdays of all the members. Therefore, I would ask that each Sir Knight send me your anniversary date and the date of your lady s birthday, if you have not done so already. (If you are new to the Assembly, you need to send me yours as well.) Then we would ask that the rest of you make a note of those birthdays and anniversaries and remember the recipients in special prayers on their special days. The power of prayer is awesome and this will be a holy endeavor for the Knights. It will not cost any of us any money, but the rewards will be great. You can mail the information to me, Charlene Core, at 2083 Birchview Rd., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068, or it to core.home@juno.com. Thanks for your participation THE EXEMPLIFICATION IS COMING IN APRIL!

Here is the letter explaining the cookbook! Dear Ladies of Sir Knights of the Fourth Degree: We are putting together a Cookbook of recipes from Ladies of the Fourth Degree.

That way these women would be able to find recipes from Ladies of the assembly of which their new Sir Knight is now a member.)
