Washburn John Woodiwiss FABULOUS FOURTH Our Council` had two candidates who became Sir Knights at the 4 th Degree Exemplifica on on October 11, 2015. Saint John XXIII Assembly welcomed Dan Kitson and John Scala as the newest members from Pope Pius XII Council. We had a lovely table at the banquet and the ladies enjoyed the evening. I distributed pamphlets at each table describing the Honorees qualifica ons for the honor. It was quite impressive reading. Saint John XXIII hospitality room was in Room # 2090, on the second floor. Since the Assembly had a total of 22 new members taking the Degree, they and their guests made for an overflowing room. Unfortunately, due to a last minute wedding scheduling, Father Holz was unavailable to go to the Exemplifica on. Oh well, there is always next year and we must remind him to keep that me period clear. For those Fourth Degree members who wanted to sit in on the Degree, a tuxedo or dark suit & e was the appropriate dress code for them. Every Knight Should Be A Sir Knight. To learn about the Fourth Degree, you can come to one of our Council mee ngs, to get that informa on, or contact me. Joe Zink
