From C.J. Romero,
District Deputy #117
Brother Knights: I want to thank GK Ron Gay and the 1st Degree Exemplification Team for a job well done last night at St. Thomas Aquinas Zurich Hall. We had over 40 brother Knights attend this 1st Exemplification for the new Calender year from District #117 which includes the KC Councils listed below. This is a start and hope we continue getting men into the KC’s and make this a great year. Remember, this years Texas KC Theme is “Passion to Serve” and Texas is looking State wide for 5400 plus new KC members by June 30, 2011.
We had plenty of great comments last night for the 1st Degree Team performance. JOB well done by all. Thanks again for all the knights attending and a great HOWDY for the TA&M Council #10624 for adding 28 new Knights last night at the exemplification. Remember, I want to see all those 1st Degrees KC that came on board last night on Sunday, Oct 3rd, for the Major Degree.
Remember, the Major Degree, 2nd & 3rd Degrees will be held on Sunday, October 3, 2010. It will be hosted by St. Joseph Council # 11759, Chris Nugent GK, starting with a Mass at 8:30 am at St. Joseph Church which is located in Bryan at 26th and Preston. All candidates should be there at the St. Joseph PAC located behind the church by 7:30 am and there will be coffee and donuts prior to Mass. The KC’s will get all paper work completed and line up the candidates for the 8:30 am mass. After Mass, all candidates will drive to St. Anthony Council # 1834, Clarence Lambrecht GK. The KC #1834 hall is located @ 603 Palasota and Groesbeck.
The Major degree team will be out of Houston and the exemplification will start at 10:30 am and continue until both 2nd & 3rd degrees are completed. St. Joseph will host the meal for $7.00 at St. Anthony KC Hall after the exemplification and the meal will be a Chicken dinner and I can testify, St. Joseph has one of the best Cooks in this area. You will definitely enjoy there dinner on Sunday, Oct 3rd.
Please inform all 1st Degrees about this 2n & 3rd degree Exemplifications. We normally have only one per calendar year here in Bryan/College Station. For the 3rd & 4th Degree, if you have not been at major degree from some time, you should attend this one. It will bring back old memories and you get to meet other Knights at the same time. Remember, the food will be very good.
…Thanks DD #117, CJ Romero
