From the District Deputy

Gentlemen-

The State Convention has been moved to Sunday May 3rd from 11:00 AM until 12:30 PM (Yay, 1.5 hours total).  You will call in from the comfort of your home.  There will be no video.  

You will be voting by phone on three items. 

1- Election of State Officers, 

2- Vote on Resolutions, and, 

3- vote on delegates to the Supreme Convention.  

You will vote using your phone.  More info to follow. $25.00 per-diem is available for those attending.

Sorry for the redundancy but Ron asked all delegates who are attending for a list of names, email addresses and the phone number you will be calling in from.  Please send these direct to Sid Theil at kcbooster@comcast.net.  Please cc: me.  Credentialing forms still need to be mailed in to Sid as well if you have not done so.

There will be a virtual 1,2,3rd degree on April 16th conducted by Supreme.  There will be another one conducted by the State of Oregon team the following week.  So if you have new members to bring into your council plan on lining them up for these dates.  Or get your first degree only members to attend so they can complete the third degree.  Only about 30 minute ceremony.   More info to follow.

Ron Boyce is working with Supreme to waive the insurance requirement for Star Council for this year due to the loss of several Oregon agents.  

Supreme has asked Knights to support the the parish with food drives, blood donations and whatever else your pastor needs.  Blood is especially critical for those who are able to do so.  If you you are in a high risk category and do not wish to go out and purchase food consider a cash donation to your local St. Vincent de Paul conference.  They are usually able to leverage their buying power to purchase more.   

Supreme has made low interest loans available to struggling parishes.  

Fraternally,

Dan Boone

District Deputy #3
