Brother Knights,
We are in the “Final Stretch” as the 2016-17 year ends and we start to prepare for the 2017-18 year, please make sure to complete and submit those forms that are due by your council.  All forms will need to be submitted online or sent by e-mail in PDF format in order to be credited for this year, since at this time in June, hardcopy forms mailed will probably not be received in time to be processed/credited. 
The Columbian Award Application form SP-7 should be submitted in early June to allow time for processing to be credited. 
There are several council’s in the state that are very close to STAR Council.  Let’s keep the momentum going and get your council to STAR Council!

State Convention Results
The program team of directors met in mid-March to review the submitted entries for the State Council Service Programs Awards.

There were many great submissions, which made it difficult to narrow down the entries to our winners. It was interesting to read about the many unique ways Knights provide service to their parishes, families, and communities. [A new Awards Page has been created on the State website.]
